We know, we know. A lot of these advent calendars have sky-high price tags but when you add up the retail value for each product, you’ll realize how much you’re saving — especially when you consider that some products are full-size. That being said, we wouldn’t blame you if you’d rather spend the money on yourself. Otherwise, be prepared to hear your loved ones gush about your gift for weeks straight.

If you’re unsure of where to start, we’ve gone through the arduous task of online window shopping for you. (Spoiler: It was not arduous at all. In fact, we love nothing more.) Without further ado, here are the best beauty advent calendars to add to your cart before they inevitably sell out.
