I've seen the Anthropologie Beauty Advent Calendar 2024 - and it's worth the wait

Jam-packed with 24 days of indulgent beauty treats, the Anthropologie Advent Calendar is back for another year of festive celebrations - and it's certainly worth snapping up...

Whether you're looking to trial a roster of new products or are simply on the hunt for an early Christmas gift to yourself, there's something exhilarating about getting into the holiday spirit with one of the best beauty advent calendars. If I'm being honest, I've been in full-blown Christmas mode ever since the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar, landed on my desk just a few short weeks ago. So, you can only imagine my excitement when I finally got my hands on this year's edition of the Anthropologie Advent Calendar.

Boasting an assortment of beauty and self-care staples, including nourishing L'Occitane hand cream and strong-hold Anastasia Beverly Hills brow gel, this advent calendar is set to be a popular choice this season...

Inside the Anthropologie Beauty Advent Calendar 2024

After hearing whispers about this year's Anthropologie Advent Calendar, I must admit, I jumped at the opportunity to unbox it when it arrived in the post - and (spoiler) it was hyped with very good reason.

What's in the Anthropologie Beauty Advent Calendar 2024?

Taking a peak inside Anthropologie's 2024 Advent Calendar, you'll be welcomed by a plethora of skincare, makeup, haircare and fragrance buys, from a myriad of big-name beauty brands - including Iconic London, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Malin & Goetz and UKLASH...

Unboxing the Anthropologie Advent Calendar 2024

Upon first glance, I was seriously impressed with the quality of this calendar, especially considering its price tag falls on the more affordable side of things. Arriving with a hard cardboard box exterior (which is perfect for reusing as storage post-Christmas), this calendar has been beautifully dressed with an intricate illustrated artwork by Nephthys Foster, capturing a festive scene of the brand's storefront. Open up the calendar and you'll reveal 24 pull-out boxes inside, each individually designed with hand-drawn artwork to represent the lead-up to Christmas Day.

A deeper delve inside the boxes unveils a curated collection of 24 stellar beauty buys, from makeup and skincare to haircare and fragrance (plus more), nine of which are full-sized. Personally, I was excited to see UKLASH, Wonderskin and Malin&Goetz on the lineup of brands that feature in this advent calendar, but there are also plenty of other well-known names delivering you daily beauty treats.

The Beauty Team's top product picks

Boasting an exciting selection of beauty products, the advent calendar makes home to some of the woman&home beauty team's go-to products, including an indulgent sleep spray, long-lasting lip tint and nourishing winter-essential hand cream...

When does the Anthropologie Advent Calendar go on sale?

The Anthropologie Advent Calendar 2024 is now available to pre-order, with the calendars being shipped on 21st October. Boasting an array of must-have beauty gems, and with this affordable price tag (unlike other calendars on the market), we can't imagine this advent calendar is going to be sticking around for very long - so be sure to order to avoid missing out.

Is the Anthropologie advent calendar worth buying?

While the answer to this question ultimately lies with your own personal preferences, after getting my hands on the calendar and unboxing each day, I must say it is a great contender if you're in the market for a beauty advent calendar. The advent calendar boasts over £300 worth of products, from an array of premium beauty brands, for just £88 - which, in my book, sounds like a good deal.

You'll also be treated to 9 full-sized products, from scrunchies and exfoliating mitts to a lengthening mascara and lip stain, plus an abundance of mini-sized products for you to trial. Not only does this advent calendar make a great gift (either for yourself or others), but it also gives you an opportunity to try out a selection of new products before you decide whether to invest in them or not - essentially, try before you buy!
