    As beauty editors, we know the best beauty advent calendars to shop this year (including luxury advent calendars and affordable advent calendars), but which advent calendars are people searching for the most?

    According to Foundation, that's analysed the Google data, Lookfantastic’s 2024 Advent Calendar is the most-wanted beauty Advent Calendar to purchase this year, with over 49,500 searches in September alone. Foundation did the same research in both 2022 and 2023 which had Charlotte Tilbury as the most-wanted advent calendar, showing that Lookfantastic has dethroned the beauty brand.

    Coming in joint-second with Charlotte Tilbury’s Advent Calendar is Space NK’s 25 Day Advent Calendar, which has already sold out online, and has seen 40,500 total searches in September – increasing by 235%. While you might not even have considered your Christmas shopping yet, shoppers are clearly doing their research earlier each year, so if you're after the most coveted beauty buys, you need to get in quick.

    Olivia Ford, Performance Lead at Foundation, explained the sudden surge in popularity. “Beauty Advent Calendars have become extremely popular in the past few years as they elevate what we know and love about the advent calendar; it combines variety and value for money with the products included with surprise and excitement as you countdown to Christmas Day”.

    As a professional shopper, nothing excites me more than seeing what people are shopping most around Christmas time. One thing seems clear to me - the hype around beauty advent calendars is more frantic than ever before, so if you’re keen to get your hands on the most popular styles of 2024, we’d suggest getting a wiggle on.

    1. Lookfantastic Beauty Advent Calendar 2024

    Lookfantastic Beauty Advent Calendar 2024

    Lookfantastic Beauty Advent Calendar 2024
    £100 (WORTH £565)

    Unfortunately this year's Lookfantastic calendar has already totally sold out, so it's worth getting in there very early in 2025 if you like the look of it.

    Valeza Bakolli, Junior Shopping Editor says: "I almost couldn't contain my excitement when I saw the products included in Lookfantastic’s beauty advent calendar this year. It's a bestseller every year - and it’s clear to see why. With an impressive array of cult beauty products (Sol de Janeiro, Nudestix, and NARS to name a few) - the lineup is super impressive."

    2. Charlotte's Treasure Chest of Love

    Charlotte's Beauty Treasure Chest of Love
    £170 (WORTH £243)

    The second most-desired beauty advent calendar on the list is Charlotte Tilbury's offering, full of bestselling products like Charlotte's Magic Cream and pieces from my favourite Pillow Talk collection, there's no wonder it's a shopper favourite this year!

    Katie Thomas, Senior Beauty Editor says: "My make-up bag is a glorious mixture of high-end and affordable make-up brands but the one brand that features more than the rest is Charlotte Tilbury. It's my go-to for creating party looks, which is exactly what you'd be able to do this December with Charlotte's 12-day calendar. In each drawer you'll find an iconic Tilbury product, including some of her skincare which was inspired by work on shoots and backstage at fashion week."

    3. Space NK Beauty Advent Calendar

    Space NK Beauty Advent Calendar
    £250 AT SPACE NK

    Remember when I told you these advent calendars are sure to sell out soon? 3rd on the list, the Space NK beauty advent calendar is currently sold out. In the meantime, check out Space NK's gorgeous selection of Christmas gifts.

    Shannon Lawlor, Executive Beauty Editor says: "Every year, Space NK delivers when it comes to its beauty advent calendar. Inside is 23 beauty products from the best premium brands, each of which is elite."

    4. Boots Limited Edition 24 Days of Beauty Christmas Advent Calendar

    Boots Limited Edition 24 Days of Beauty Christmas Advent Calendar

    Boots Limited Edition 24 Days of Beauty Christmas Advent Calendar
    £99 (WORTH £357.83)

    Packed full of hero beauty brands for a fantastic price, the Boots advent calendar isn't one to be missed. Featuring full-size products from the likes of Laura Mercier, Drunk Elephant and Fenty Beauty, it can easily rival some of the pricer calendars out there - and it has a brilliant mix of skincare, makeup and body care items.

    5.  Sephora Favorites Advent Calendar 

    sephora advent calendar

     Sephora Favorites Advent Calendar 
    £199 (WORTH £1,000)

    Sephora's Favorites calendar is another one that has already sold out, and it's hardly surprising considering it's worth an impressive £1,000. Filled with 40 products, 24 of which are full-sized, it's worth every penny - and features cult brands like Olaplex and Tatcha.

    6. Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2024

    cult beauty advent calendar

    Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2024
    £225 AT CULT BEAUTY

    There's no wonder Cult Beauty's advent calendar is one of the most searched-for this year, seeing as it's packed full of the most highly-coveted products and brands of the year. Unfortunately, it has also sold out, and sadly won't be returning until next year.

    7. Jo Malone Advent Calendar

    Jo Malone Advent Calendar 2024

    Jo Malone Advent Calendar
    £360 AT JO MALONE

    If you're a fan of smelling incredible listen up - Jo Malone's advent calendar isn't one to miss, with a mix of seasonal and cult-status scents.

    Katie says: "I look forward to seeing the Jo Malone London calendar every year - and it never disappoints. The thing about Jo Malone London is that no matter what the contents are, you know that the fragrances are going to be beautiful and you know that the textures will be luxurious (if you haven't tried the brand's hand cream you really must rectify that immediately). The pale yellow and black box will definitely come in use and as recommended by the brand, would make a good jewellery box or desk tidy."

    8.  The Harrods 12 Days of Hair & Body Advent Calendar 2024  

    harrods advent calendar

     The Harrods 12 Days of Hair & Body Advent Calendar 2024  
    £99 (WORTH £310)

    If you want a beauty advent calendar without makeup, this is the perfect one for haircare and body care lovers. Worth over £300, it is stuffed with pampering products that you will want to use on repeat, and it comes at a fantastic price point. It also includes the Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume, which is one of my favourite fragrances.

    9. Selfridges Beauty Advent Calendar 

    Selfridges Beauty Advent Calendar 

    Selfridges Beauty Advent Calendar
    £250 (WORTH £1,000+)

    If you're a fan of luxury brands, Selfridges' offering is one to look out for. You'll be making an amazing saving of over £750, so the £250 price point feels like a real investment. Unfortunately, it has now sold out, but this is going to be at the top of my list for 2025.

    10.  Benefit The Gorgeous Grocer 24 Piece Beauty Advent Calendar

     Benefit The Gorgeous Grocer 24 Piece Beauty Advent Calendar

     Benefit The Gorgeous Grocer 24 Piece Beauty Advent Calendar
    £156 AT SEPHORA

    If you're a Benefit obsessive, this is the calendar for you. I absolutely love the unique and playful packaging that will be endlessly fun to open throughout December, and it contains all the brand's best-sellers, from bronzers to mascaras and everything in between.
