15 exceptional Advent calendars that we dream of treating ourselves to

Whether you want to spoil a beauty fan in advance or treat yourself to a moment of daily well-being at the start of winter, Advent calendars filled with cosmetics have serious advantages to ensure a smooth end to the year. Particularly those which contain the best beauty products of the moment and which take the form of refined objects.

Reusable designer boxes

Indeed, in addition to the many surprises they contain, these elegant boxes also serve as decorative objects under the tree. Exceptional cases like those of Dior and Rabanne, which echo the facade of their emblematic boutique Avenue Montaigne, will cause a sensation with their festive ornaments. Among the most original boxes, those from Guerlain in the shape of a beehive, that from Charlotte Tilbury in the shape of a heart, or the very playful and regressive trunk from Dipytque, stand out from the crowd.

To stand out this year, some brands called on artists or illustrators to decorate their calendar and each of its boxes, like Sisley who collaborated with the British Fee Greening and her dreamlike universe, or Acqua di Parma who created a joyful duo with designer India Mahdavi. Once Christmas is over, these collector's cases can be kept and can immediately be used as one-of-a-kind storage.

Each type of beauty has its own calendar

Skincare, perfumes, makeup… Those who like to be surprised every day with a different beauty product can count on Advent calendars which bring together their best-sellers in all categories, such as those from Armani Beauty, YSL Beauté, Lancôme, Dior, Guerlain or Charlotte Tilbury. Fans of skincare will find their account in that of La Mer, which contains all the essentials for taking care of your skin in winter, that of Augustinus Bader, to discover the brand that the stars love, or that of Dr. Barbara Sturm, to obtain the glow signature of the All-Hollywood facialist.

For their part, lovers of olfactory discoveries will find what they are looking for with the Advent calendars from Jo Malone, Diptyque or Acqua di Parma. Maison Francis Kurkdjian, for its part, will start its fragrant countdown from December 25 with its “After calendar” in order to celebrate the few days between Christmas and New Year.
