This year's beauty advent calendar bonanza has began with the best beauty advent calendars for 2025 going on sale. Which brand has the best beauty advent calendar for this year is up for debate, but we've compiled an edit of some of the most popular picks that shoppers can buy now to help make choosing a whole lot easier.

Some of the best value for money beauty advent calendars are listed below and these are the ones that seasoned calendar consumers will know tend to sell-out, so shopping early can mean considerable savings. For example, the Glossybox Advent Calendar 2025 retails for £90 but is worth more than eight times this, filled with contents valued over £600.

At ASOS, beauty fans can delight in an advent calendar worth £406 but priced at £98, filled with goodies from Charlotte Tilbury, Sol de Janeiro and MAC to name a few. Just in time to upgrade a beauty routine ahead of the festive season, these must-have advent calendars are jam-packed with trending skincare, bestselling makeup and pampering treats, from the likes of Boots, Next, ASOS and more.

Beauty advent calendars are an excellent way to try out new brands or stock up on products that are used and loved. Some brands keep the contents of the calendars tightly under wraps but we've outlined the best beauty advent calendars under £100 that are available to shop now.

Anthropologie's offering for 2025 is £20 more expensive than it was in 2024, however, it still comes in at under £100 and features £365 worth of products - compared to last year's £300. In terms of what to expect, shopping writer Jessica Brunt has given the full run-down with her review, but for those that don't want too many spoilers, expect treats from ESPA, UKLASH and This Works.

There are 24 products inside, in a beautiful box designed by illustrator Nephthys Foster. Jessica points out that the 'pretty box inserts could be re-used' and the packaging is 'fairly compact' for those that don't have loads of space.

In terms of value for money, the Grown Alchemist Regenerating Night Cream 40ml usually retails for £83 alone on the brand's website, so shoppers have almost made their money back from this singular item. There are a number of minis in this advent calendar, with 11 full-size, making it well suited for those that travel frequently.

Jessica has noted that 'some items may not be as useable for everyone', which is something to consider. For example, nail polishes may not be of use for those that get gel manicures.

It's not often that a fragrance advent calendar comes in at below £100 but the Sentier 12 Days, 12 Stories Advent Calendar for 2025 is priced at £99 and valued at £516. It includes six perfumes and six candles, with each scent said to 'tell a unique tale'.

Shopping writer and fragrance expert Jada Jones unpacked the 2024 Sentier advent calendar, applauding the perfumes for being alcohol-free. She said: "The six perfumes are alcohol-free, which is quite unique in the perfume world."

One of Jada's favourite scents out of the offering is called Méribel. She explained: "It has notes of white flowers, patchouli, amber, sandalwood and vanilla but I was really surprised with the actual scent. It's very sweet and powdery, I got compliments as soon as I put it on."

She 'wasn't crazy' about the Chronicles of Self perfume, however, like all fragrances, they won't be for everyone. Someone else noted this, leaving a review that says: "Some scents weren't my personal taste, but overall I found 8 out of 12 that I really enjoyed. Still well worth it." The Sentier Fragrance Advent Calendar is available for £99 on the website, but using the code ADVENT gets customers 10% off.

Anyone looking for a little pampering pick-me-up during December might want to take a look at The Body Shop. This year the brand have released two advent calendars, one of which retails for £120, however, for half this price fans can shop the Classic Beauty Advent Calendar at £60.

Shopping writer Jada Jones has previously tried The Body Shop advent calendar, explaining: "This is a lovely option for people who don't want a chocolate advent calendar. I've tucked the shower gels into my carry-ons and flew through the hand balms. There's a great range of different scents so there's something for everyone."

From mango to moringa, pink grapefruit and almond milk, the advent calendar features some of the brand's most-loved fragrances. This advent calendar may not boast as big of a saving as some other brands, however, there are few beauty advent calendars under £100 that focus on bath and body, making this an excellent option for those that prioritise self-care.

Glossybox have well and truly treated beauty fans this year and the brand's 2025 advent calendar is one of the best value for money options on the market. For £90, shoppers can enjoy £624 worth of products from favourites such as Medik8, Aveeno, Rituals and ESPA. There are also some lesser-known brands in the mix, giving customers an opportunity to try out items they may never have before.

To get the best price of £75, a subscription is needed, but it can still be snapped up for less than £100 without one. Behind 25 doors there are 27 items, including two dual drawers, with our stand-out product being the £20 Medik8 Daily Refresh Balancing Toner.

Customers have called this pick 'the best advent calendar around', both in terms of the value and products. Many people have even said they've snapped up multiple, so we wouldn't be surprised if this calendar is one of the first options to sell out before December.

When in need of an outfit, ASOS is a one-stop-shop for many, providing the goods with next day delivery. The online retailer also display a number of beauty products from top brands and shoppers can stock up on these for less with the ASOS Face + Body Advent Calendar 2025.

This year's delightful offering may not have the most festive packaging but it is 'selling fast' and it's not hard to see why - retailing for £98, it gives fans an impressive 76% saving, with the contents worth £408. Shoppers adding one to their basket, perhaps while doing a new-season clothing haul, can save £308 on makeup, skincare and more from brands including Charlotte Tilbury, MAC, Sol de Janeiro and Rituals.

The ASOS Face + Body Advent Calendar is one of this year's best value for money options, worth over four times the amount it retails for and at under £100, it's predicted to be a popular pick. It is filled with 26 items, 15 of which are full size and this covers skincare, makeup, body care and hair care. Shoppers need only buy four of the products included individually to cover the cost of the calendar, essentially nabbing 22 beauty items for free.

This year, Revolution have launched two advent calendars, available at separate retailers, but both filled with 100% cruelty-free and vegan goodies. The first, stocked at Boots for £50, contains 24 makeup must-haves, plus a number of beauty tools. There are ten full sized items to enjoy, with new launches and exclusive gifts.

Worth over £100, shoppers are calling this calendar 'great value' and 'extraordinarily generous'. Each product comes in at just under 50 pence each, making it a brilliant way to save on stocking fillers for makeup lovers.

The second festive countdown from Revolution is The Superdrug Edit Advent Calendar, which is available at Superdrug for £40 and is worth £102. This Magical Makeup Beauty Advent Calendar is also filled with 24 items, so expect lip gloss, eyeliners, beauty sponges, highlighters and more.

Clarins is a brand that caters to all ages, whether it's anti-ageing skincare such as the New Total Eye Lift, trend-led makeup, Lip Comfort Oil we're looking at you, or pampering products including an Exfoliating Body Scrub. Those that want to indulge in the brand for less than £100 should opt for the Clarins 12 Day Advent Calendar, worth £167.

With more than 40 years of glow-boosting releases from the brand, there's something to please everyone. Plus, with a full size Beauty Flash Balm that retails for £38 individually, shoppers are certainly getting bang for their buck.

If 12 days doesn't feel quite enough, Clarins do have a 24 day alternative with a mix of full size and mini items. It's £155 for the 24 day calendar, worth £282.

Beauty fans might want to sit down for this one as we've calculated that the 2025 Avant Wonders Advent Calendar is worth an impressive nine times the amount it retails for. Coming in at just under £100, it may only have 12 doors, but the treasures inside are worth £935.

Highlights include the Pro-Intense Hyaluronic Acid Illuminating Day Cream which costs £97 alone, effectively paying off the price of the calendar in one hit. Other goodies to discover are the Centifolia Rose Radiance Capturing Mask and the R.N.A Radical Anti-Ageing & Liftin Duo Moisturiser.

It's no surprise that according to the brand, this advent calendar has sold out three years in a row and we're predicting this year to be no different. Shoppers are already rushing to get hold of one, leaving reviews that say 'everything you need is in this advent calendar'.

This year, Avant have also added a little extra excitement with the addition of an 'augmented reality experience', that can be accessed with a phone. The 'sensory' journey has been described by a customer as 'such a treat' and something they've 'never seen done anywhere else before'.

If that's not good enough, hidden inside a few lucky orders, there are Golden Tickets with a chance to win £1,000 of Avant skincare. The brand haven't revealed how many tickets there are so we can't say how likely it is to win one, but the gift cards will be announced on New Year's Day 2026.

Whether shopping for yourself or treating someone in your life to a beauty advent calendar, the classic PrettyLittleThing calendar will be saving money while counting down the month of December. From lashes to hair masks, tanning mitts to makeup sponges, the PrettyLittleThing advent calendar is packed with items bound to set beauty fan's hearts racing.

There are some items that might not be suitable for all, for example those that don't apply fake tan, so it might be worth having a quick browse on the contents before buying.

Retailing for £60 and worth £206, inside there are 24 products, a mix of skincare staples, makeup must-haves and pampering delights. There are even top brands inside, including Pixi, Barry M, Spectrum and Revolution.

Skincare fanatics are in luck as the Boots 24 Days of Skincare Advent Calendar comes in at £70 for 2025. Those that would rather steer clear of makeup and fragrances might find this to be the ideal beauty advent calendar for them, worth more than four times its price at £289.

This is no surprise with items such as a a full size Lumene Vitamin C Serum, priced at £36.50, as well as a full size mist from Pixi.

While there have been no written reviews on the Boots website for this calendar, it has been rated five stars by two people already. Alternatively, shoppers can choose the Boots 24 Day Premium Beauty Advent Calendar, retailing for £150 and worth more than £600.

Previous years have shown that the No7's advent calendar is always one of the fastest sell-outs. Priced at £60 and worth £176 more, it's one of the best value advent calendars out there, especially as shoppers will get 25 days of skincare and makeup favourites, including 10 full size products.

Inside, shoppers will find items from some of the brand's best-loved ranges, such as Future Renew skincare heroes and the Radiance collection. The focus of this advent calendar is naturally very anti-ageing heavy, so it might appeal more to an older audience.

That being said, there are universal makeup staples to enjoy, such as the glossy Lip Shine Oil, Intense Volume Mascara and the Matte Muse Lipstick. Plus, a few tools are added into the mix, including a cleansing pad and an eyeshadow brush.

The Liz Earle 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar gives customers the opportunity to make huge savings on some of the brand's bestselling products. From Superskin to Glow, it's a skincare lover's idea of heaven, priced at £79 but worth over £200.

From head to toe, Liz Earle have shoppers covered, with everything from hand creams to eye lotions, body washes and face masks to delight in.

Liz Earle's more expensive 24 Days Beauty Advent Calendar costs £175, however, it sold out within days of launching, making the cheaper alternative a savvy option to nab while consumers still can.

Playful, fun and incredibly festive, The House of Glory! Soap & Glory Advent Calendar is 24 days of beauty and bath-time indulgence. To fully get the most out of this advent calendar shoppers do need a bath, however, there are plenty of products inside that can be enjoyed during and post-shower.

With a claimed value of £93, each product features the brand's signature scents, almost guaranteeing all users to smell amazing this festive season. At £48, it's one of the more budget-friendly options on the list, as this breaks down to £2 per item.

Giving the calendar five out of five stars, one customer has written: "My daughter in law also loves an advent calendar so I bought one of these last year for her.

Many of these brands we haven't seen included in rival beauty advent calendars, so it's a great opportunity to discover new products. This does mean some of the items might not be for everyone, but with 25 to try out, there's a wide range.

The 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar also features some bath and shower products from the likes of Rituals, Sanctuary Spa and Aromatherapy Associates. There are also two haircare products from Percy and Reed, and one from Philip Kingsley.

Value for money really varies between brands, but for the most part, consumers will be making a saving when purchasing a beauty advent calendar. When deciding which one is the right one for personal taste and budget, consider how many items are full-size as well as existing reviews.

Beauty advent calendars offer the opportunity to try out new brands and products that might not have been on the radar before and that is part of the joy of a beauty advent calendar. But it's important to check beforehand whether they are a range of items that will be used to ensure how much product a shopper is getting for their money.

From our calculations, one of the best value for money beauty advent calendars for 2025 is the Avant Wonders Advent Calendar. Priced at £99 and worth an estimated £935, just one product in the 12 day calendar costs £97.
