Beauty Advent calendars for 2023 incl M&S £348 for £45 (+£35 spend) in store
Plus discounts off L'Occitane, Debanhams calendars, and info on what's already sold out
Beauty Advent calendars are significantly pricier than chocolate ones, but they've become increasingly popular in the last few years as a way of bagging beauty products at a fraction of the normal cost. They often sell out early, but can also be heavily discounted later if they don't, so here's a round-up of some of the best I’ve seen.
While they’re marketed as Advent calendars, even if you’re not intending to open them day-by-day, they can be worth it to get products for much cheaper than you'd normally buy them for separately. They're also great for dividing up as gifts for multiple friends/family members in hampers for Christmas or as birthday gifts throughout the year. I’ll update this list as more become available, reduced or sold out over the next few months.
There's very little crossover between the products in these calendars from different providers (though some retailers have more than one calendar to choose from and these often do contain the same or similar products) so it's a case of choosing the products, or retailer, you like best. Either scroll down the offers, or here are quick links:

Previously £68, originally £85, could be reduced again further later on
This year's Debenhams* Advent calendar contains 24 make-up, skincare, fragrance, and home fragrance treats, including 14 full-sized items, twice as many as last year.
Previously it was reduced to £68 from £72.25, a 20% saving on the original price of £85, but now it's back to £72.25, only a 15% saving. Delivery's free (normally £2.99) and takes up to 5-7 working days. It could be reduced further later on, possibly in a Black Friday sale, but if it's the one you've been waiting for it might be worth snapping up sooner rather than later.
Debenhams reckons it's worth £390, but by our calculations, when you factor in current offers it would cost about £297 if you were to buy all the products separately.

Online offer, no code needed, some only 20% off
For the past few years, Boots has offered deals on beauty Advent calendars, including as part of a 3for2 promo in 2019 and up to 50% off for the past three years. For 2023, it has already started offering deals on some calendars, but some of them are 20% off, discounted further from only 10% off, so could be discounted further later in the year.
Popular beauty Advent calendars available now included in up to 50% off deal:
£44 (normally £90) Macmillan '24 Doors of Joy' 24-piece calendar*

It's possible that Boots could offer yet another discount, which may make some of these calendars cheaper towards the start of December, but it's not guaranteed so it's up to you whether you choose to purchase now or later on as some have already sold out, and it's not clear whether they will be back in stock before December.

Online offer, no code needed, some only 10% off or with Health & Beauty card
There are currently a few advent calendars available on the Superdrug website, and some have discounts of between 10% and 25% off. Previously in 2021 we saw Advent calendars included in its up to 60% off Black Friday offer, so they may be cheaper later in the year.
Prices range from £18 to £30, and calendars in stock when we checked at 5pm on Friday 10 November include:
£18 (was £20)Technic Cosmetics 24-piece calendar– includes eye pencils, blusher, lip gloss etc.SOLD OUT£25 (was £30) Bubble T cosmetics 24-piece calendar – includes shower gel, bath bombs etc.
£27 (was £30) Menkind 'Man'Stuff' 24-piece calendar – includes shampoo, shaving cream, body wash etc.
£30 (was £40) Revolution 25-piece calendar – includes make-up brushes, lip glosses, highlighter etc. Cruelty-free & vegan. It's £30 for members of the free Health & Beauty card.
Some items aren't sold directly by Superdrug, but third-party sellers on its 'Marketplace', a bit like Amazon. You can read more about the Superdrug Marketplace before making an order if you're unsure, as we've not featured it before we don't have any feedback.
In previous years, Superdrug released its beauty advent calendars with an up to ‘50% off’ offer, before the calendars were discounted further in the Black Friday and then Christmas sales. So if you don't want one before Christmas, it might be worth waiting to pick one up for a bigger discount.

Up to 30% discount now finished, most expensive calendar sold out online
The Body Shop* has three calendars at varied price points – £59 (was £45 in offer), £95 (was £70 in discount, now sold out online) or £145 (was £100 in offer, now sold out online). Delivery's free on all, as you've spent over £35.
£59 (was £45 in discount) 'Advent of Wonders' calendar* – includes mostly minis, shampoo, shower gels, sheet mask etc. It says the contents are normally £119.
£95 (was £70 in discount)'Big Advent of Wonders' calendar*– includes a mixture of mini and full-size items, body butter, shampoo, face masks etc. It says the contents are normally £173.50. Sold out online, stock still available in some stores at full-price.£145 (was £100 in discount)'Ultimate Advent of Wonders' calendar*– includes mostly full-size items, shampoo, conditioner, body butter, face masks etc. It says the contents are normally £250.Sold out online, stock still available in some stores at full-price.

In 2020, limited extra quantities of its three calendars were released at the start of November. In previous years, all calendars completely sold out before Black Friday.
As there was a discount of up to £45 on the calendars until Wednesday 1 November, it's unlikely there will be a bigger discount later in the year if more stock is released, but it's not impossible so it's up to you whether you'd like to wait. The Body Shop says stock of the 'Big Advent of Wonders' calendar is now 'limited' online, so if that's the one you're looking for it's worth being aware it could sell out online next.

In previous years calendars were cheaper, starting from £55, some of which sold out by the start of November. Whilst £100+ for an Advent calendar isn't especially MoneySaving, if you usually buy L'Occitane products and it includes some of your favourites, it may be a good way to save money on what you'd buy normally.

NOW SOLD OUT ONLINE. Stock could still be available in stores.
This isn't the first year Holland & Barrett* has released a beauty Advent calendar, but if you're looking for something 100% vegan and cruelty-free that isn't mostly nail polish, you might want to check this one out. It costs £45, with contents H&B says are worth £179, which is slightly more than previous years contents for the same price.
It's now sold out online, so if it's the one you'd like it's worth checking online to see if your local store has stock.
It's a 25-piece set containing brands such as Faith in Nature, Sukin, Q&A and more. It includes skincare, haircare, and other items such as candles, a detangling mini hairbrush, and a make-up brush.

If Ciaté is the original nail polish Advent calendar you wait for every year, then you can enter the MSE Blagged code MMM26 at Ciaté* to get it for £19 delivered (normally £65). Note though, this is the same calendar it released in 2022 – it hasn't updated it for 2023, but it doesn't say 2022 on the packaging so is perfectly usable for 2023 gifting.
There are 1,300 available, and the deal will run until they're all sold.
It's entirely vegan and cruelty-free, with 23 mini 'plant-pot' polishes, and one full-size 'plant-pot' polish. If bought separately, Ciaté says the contents would cost £125.


SOLD OUT. Stock sold out online and in stores
This year's 25-piece Marks &Spencer* beauty Advent calendar costs £45, but to be eligible to buy it, you need to spend £35 or more on other beauty, clothing, or home items – so you'll be spending at least £80 to get the calendar. This is £10 more than last year, but M&S reckon the contents are worth £100 more than in 2022.
Simply add it to your bag online, then once you've added £35+ of other spending, it will automatically reduce in price to £45. In-store, you'll need to pick up the calendar along with the £35+ of eligible items you'd like and take it all to the till.
M&S says it includes a whopping £340-worth of products, including brands such as This Works, Nails Inc and Ren – see below for a full list.

Beauty Advent calendars may be cheaper after Christmas…
While they’re clearly marketed as pre-Christmas items, these beauty Advent calendars can sometimes be found at heavily reduced prices after Christmas – so if you’re not in a rush, you may be able to make a bigger saving in the New Year.
However, stock will be limited and popular calendars such as No7 and M&S have sold out long before Christmas in previous years. Whether you buy now or risk waiting, there are some serious savings to be had compared with buying the same products separately.
