The 23 best beauty advent calendars in 2023: Sephora, The Body Shop & more
If you are a beauty lover, there’s no time of the year quite as exciting as beauty advent calendar season.
Beauty advent calendars are a treasure trove of skincare, makeup, fragrance and body care goodies, often featuring full-size products and limited-edition treats. While some advent calendars can retail for hundreds of dollars (we’re looking at you, Sisley-Paris Advent Calendar), they can actually be a great deal if you add up all the contents inside.
Kicking off the 2023 holiday season, dozens of retailers have already released their Christmas advent calendars for Canadian shoppers.
Now, if you’re thinking to yourself: ‘It’s too early for this,’ you might want to think again. Despite their early release dates, many of these advent calendars are already selling out (but don’t worry, you can join their restock waitlists).
To get into the Christmas spirit, we’ve rounded up the very best beauty advent calendars you can shop in Canada. From anti-aging skincare to holiday party makeup, check out the best beauty advent calendars in 2023 below.
