These Viral Beauty Advent Calendars Are Sure To Sell Out

It used to be that the most popular advent calendars were those filled with waxy chocolate from the grocery store. These days, though, the little paper windows or drawers can be filled with coffee, wine, jam, socks, beauty products — the list goes on and on. The latter, we admit, is our favorite category. These gorgeous kits contain skin care, hair products, makeup, and more goodies from luxe brands, drugstore faves, and everything in between. Count down to Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s Day, or any other exciting occasion with the best beauty advent calendars, below.
