The 9 best beauty advent calendars to get you excited for the holidays

The holidays are nearly here, so we’re in gift-giving mode. We’re looking for stocking stuffers, beauty presents we can travel with, and a certain Glossier skincare set, among a million other things. But before we get to the actual holidays, beauty advent calendars are here to get you pumped for the end-of-the-year festivities, and most of them are priced at such a great value. Below, we have a Birchbox beauty advent calendar that retails for $40 but is valued at over $100 more and a QVC beauty advent calendar that is currently retailing for less than $40 and is valued at $256! With steals like this, it’s hard to look the other way, and advent calendars are such a great way to celebrate the whole month.

Below, see a list of some of our favorite beauty advent calendars available this holiday season.
