The underdog in this year's beauty advent calendar offering, Next has come up with not one, but two fantastic options for 2024. Say hello to Next's 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar, which retails for a reasonable £90, and the super deluxe Beauty Advent Calendar, which retails for £170.
Hot off the presses and available to buy now, both editions contain a cornucopia of beauty and skincare products, including everything from the iconic Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, anti-ageing Murad Retinol Night Cream, sweet-smelling Ghost Orb of Night Eau de Parfum and legendary Benefit Benetint. And that's not all: hidden within a select number of both advents is a series of Golden Tickets, giving 20 lucky shoppers the chance to bag over £200 worth of Iconic London or Elemis favourites.
With an extensive range of skin care, make-up, body care and hair care products, both calendars are undoubtedly the ultimate Christmas countdown calendar.

First up, let's indulge in Next's more affordable 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar. Available for just £90 - one of the more reasonable beauty advents we've seen this year - it contains a total of 27 items worth an impressive £383.
Housed in a gorgeous marble pink calendar with 25 pull-out drawers to count down each day of December, we're especially excited to see the coveted Pro-Collagen Marine Moisture Essence inside, which helps to plump and hydrate the skin, as well as the Emma Hardie Moringa Balm, which has been dubbed a "facial in a jar," and Iconic London's Triple Threat Mascara, which volumizes, lengthens, and lifts your natural lashes. There's also a handbag-ready scent from Ghost, in the Orb of Night fragrance, a sweet, floral perfume.

There are a whole host of big brands in this sub-£100 beauty advent calendar, which is even cheaper than last year's version (Next's 2023 Beauty Advent Calendar was £95, worth £355), so we're expecting it to sell out well before Christmas.

As for the retailer's more luxurious choice, The Luxury Beauty Advent Calendar, you're getting even more bang for your buck in terms of premium brands. Complete with 26 products to discover from brands like Clinique, Philip Kingsley, L'Occitane and more, the product comes beautifully packaged in a mix of charming house-shaped boxes and pink gift boxes.
In terms of contents, the total value of the advent calendar is just over £768, but it is on sale for just £170, making it a huge saving of £598.
Top of our wishlist to try this beauty advent is the full-size Perricone Plasma Plus Eye Cream, which is worth a whopping £87 on its own (more than half the total cost of this beauty advent calendar) and works to visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness while smoothing the delicate skin under the eyes. There's also the bestselling Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion which helps to strengthen the skin barrier and Oskia Super 16 Serum (normally a whopping £94), a pro-collagen, healthy ageing and youth-boosting powerhouse of 16 super-nutrients and bioactives designed to stimulate collagen synthesis.

The calendar also includes some fun self-care items, including a Neom Perfect Night's Sleep Travel Candle, because everyone loves candles!
At £170, it's on the high side for a beauty advent calendar, but still more affordable than the likes of Liberty (£260), Fortnum & Mason (£265) and Harrods (£250), so it's definitely a great choice to celebrate the festive season.
