I’m a beauty writer, and I’ll be buying Sephora’s advent calendar – here’s why

The Sephora beauty advent calendar was my favourite last year, so when I saw everything inside the 2025 edition, I could barely contain my excitement. With the Christmas calendar going on sale early this month, the beauty conglomerate was one of the later retailers to launch its offering. In fact, Boots, Harrods, Selfridges and more dropped theirs back in August – browse my full selection of the best beauty advent calendars 2025 for all the intel.

As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait and, based on the brand’s incredible haul of luxury and trending cosmetics, it looks like we’re in for a truly indulgent December. However, it’s worth noting that this Sephora favorites advent calendar (£225, Sephora.co.uk) and the Sephora Collection advent calendar (£89.99, Sephora.co.uk) are two entirely different products, so make sure you’ve landed on the right page. For context, the Sephora Collection variety features inclusions solely from its own brand, Sephora Collection. I like it, but my full review of the Sephora Collection advent calendar found that it’s best suited to teens.
