Glam but first coffee
Have you ever tried beauty advent calendars? This year for Christmas I decided to start by telling you about
I have had beauty advent calendars a long time ago- one was The body shop and another one was Ciate. Since then I have had dreamed to have the possibility to try other ones. Maybe this year! Some of them really give a nice travel size products if you tend to travel a lot or have weekend getaways!
A little disclaimer before I start. It is not possible to write down every single advent calendar in the world. Therefore, I tried to list as much as possible and the ones that are more well-known brands internationally! Also, I divided the advent calendars by their price point! Let’s dive in? Because the list is big!
Affiliate links included! 🙂
Affordable: 0-50 EUR / $
ASOS small calendar
PRICE: 38.99 EUR; £35;
Products count: 12
AVAILABILITY: Available now
Asos is a well-known online store for fashion goodies but does not be fooled! They also offer beauty and skincare products. Their advent calendar launches each year and the price is one of the best. However, it is only 12 days instead of 24. If you want to get the 24-day calendar, it will cost you twice as much!

DOVE
PRICE: £16.20
Products count: 12
AVAILABILITY: Available now
If you are a simple girl or maybe a teen that does not have a lot of money and does not wear makeup, then dove calendar is for you! Again, it is only for 12 days but I like skincare and hygiene product calendars. Mostly because I travel a lot and these come in handy much more than sample size makeup. If you like dove products (like I do), I would say- go for it!

No.7
PRICE: £45p
Products count: 25
AVAILABILITY: Available at Boots
No. 7 is the brand I always hear UK influencers talk about but have never tried out myself. However, always in my hopes to try it out someday! The advent calendar has 25 products that I think are amazing.
By the way, the black and golden packaging is very festive as well! For the price, I do think it is a good deal!

Nivea ski-lodge
PRICE: £40
Products count: 24
AVAILABILITY: Available 7th September
I love Nivea products. Some face creams for me seem too greasy but overall I like their products. For example, body lotions, makeup removers, and especially lip balms. Therefore, this advent calendar is amazing to stock up some great hygiene and skincare products. I am also obsessed with wintery packaging. Good job, Nivea.
ORIGINS
PRICE: £50
Products count: 12 products
AVAILABILITY: Available 1st of October
Origins is the brand of great body and skincare products that are worth the price. However, I am not a big fan of 12 product advent calendars. I would rather choose an advent calendar of 24-25 products. But it is a great way to give more affordable version.
Medium price range: $50-100

Ciaté London
PRICE: £59; $65.00
Products count: 24
AVAILABILITY: Pre-order
Ciaté London is one of the brands whose advent calendars I have tried. I will be honest with you- the design of bottles I liked better in my advent calendar. However, the shades and pigments look better in the calendar of this year! They used to have a problem to add too many loose glitters etc. which are difficult to use and not for everyone. But it looks like, the calendar of 2020 is a little better though through.
