ALL THE BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDARS FOR 2019: FULL SPOILERS AND CONTENTS

Makeup Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, August 22, 2019

An Advent Calendar is a calendar - sometimes in the form of a box - that has a countdown during Advent, right up to Christmas, often with a Nativity scene, a poem, or a little surprise, behind each date.
A Beauty Advent Calendar, obviously, is a curation of beauty products arranged behind closed windows, doors, or boxes, in a "calendar" format, as a countdown to Christmas Day.
Here, I'm showing you more than 40 of the best beauty advent calendars to look forward to for Christmas 2019. There are spoilers for some of the beauty advent calendars mentioned here.
Before we get going, one more thing - the vast majority of these do ship worldwide. There COULD be some exceptions depending on the brands included, and if there are perfumes or nail polishes or other HAZMAT inside. I will specify if I know about this for sure. Again, individual country exceptions could apply even if I'm told that they ship worldwide.
Lastly, more spoilers continue to come in, and I will update them as and when they are released. Bookmark this page, check back from September first week, and you’re all set! Off we go.

Space NK's Holiday 2018 Gift With Purchase is here - the Party Piece - and it is worth more than £500! Like last year's Holiday GWP, this one is also in the form of 12 lovely Christmas crackers, and there is a Space NK Gift Card, like last year!
You can view last year's Party Piece Christmas Crackers set here.

You can open each cracker on every other day during Advent, or keep these for the 12 days of Christmas, right up to Epiphany! Or, like me, rip 'em up the moment they arrive.
This gift is entirely yours for free with purchase of products worth £300 from Space NK - both online and in-store. Use code PARTY18 at checkout, and it is added to your cart. The GWP ships worldwide; some items inside may not be allowed on air; those will be replaced by other products of similar value.

Beauty Advent Calendars 2018: Discount Codes And Updates

Beauty Advent Calendars 2018: Discount Codes And Updates

SpaceNK Cosmetopia Digest   Sunday, October 07, 2018

Very quickly, an update for you about all the beauty advent calendars of 2018, including discount codes.
I've already done a post here about more than 40 different beauty advent calendars available this year, and that post includes all the spoilers.
Here, I'm not going to be giving you spoilers. Instead, you'll find discount codes, along with what is already available now. I'm updating everything in the 40+ calendars post as well, but not everyone goes back to check, so this is all the latest information for you.
At one point, I was very unenthused by some of the advent calendars of this year, but that's gone now, and I'm very excited, particularly by some of these. Also, the discount codes make them all the more attractive - I bought Feelunique's advent calendar at some £39 OFF (including a bunch of Guerlain and Inkey List, but I only paid £119 for the whole lot).
I'm not counting the ones that are sold out already - Fortnum and Mason has come and gone, as did Harrods, but the latter has been brought back owing to major demand.

Cult Beauty's Best of 2017 Goody Bag is here, and boy, IS it epic, with a whopping SEVEN full-sized products, including goodies from Huda Beauty, Tata Harper, The Ordinary, and so on? And, among those full-sized goodies is a whole palette and a liquid lippie. Some of the products included are very recent launches such as the Huda Beauty primer. I call it their best beauty bag of the year.
Instead of the usual makeup pouch, they've added a swanky train case, and the total worth of the contents is £300. Of the 18 products in this set, eight are makeup, eight are skincare, one is the train case, and one is a code for £15 off your next order. Very nice curation there.

NUXE Beauty Treasures Advent Calendar For Holiday 2017: Ships Worldwide

Nuxe Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, October 12, 2017

Who else is a huge Nuxe fan? Their dry oil, reviewed here, is one of those products I've stuck to using from the time I got into beauty. It smells just like cupcake batter, and does a great job in hydrating my scalp and keeping the pesky flakes at bay. I also love their lip balm and hand cream.
Last year, Nuxe did an Advent Calendar (see here) that sold out very quickly. It was themed "10 Beauty Treasures". This year, they continue with the Beauty Treasures theme. The calendar contains 10 products, and comes in luxurious packaging. The products are worth £83, and the calendar costs £49.

Best Beauty Advent Calendars For 2017: Holiday Gift Guide

Best Beauty Advent Calendars For 2017: Holiday Gift Guide

Selfridges Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, October 06, 2017

This year, there are so many new names jumping on the Beauty Advent Calendar bandwagon, right from luxury store Harrods, to drugstore favourite Soap & Glory. Which hopefully means that the brands which previously had Beauty Advent Calendars would have to up the ante and make their calendars better than ever before, right?
LookFantastic has certainly done that this year, as also FeelUnique and ASOS. This ensures that you are coming back for next year's box!
Given that there are now more than 50 different Beauty Advent Calendars out there, I was hard-pressed to narrow it down to 15. So this - calendars which have improved with each year - became a criterion, and I've also included some of the new names, based on the contents.
