The Sephora advent calendar is one of the most coveted beauty gifts around, and this year, it's better (and bigger) than ever. The good news is that pre-orders are already live (!), giving you plenty of time to secure yours before it officially drops on October 7th.

Before you say it: yes, we're very much aware that September has only just arrived, and Christmas shopping isn't too high up on our agenda… yet. However, as someone who knows all the best beauty advent calendars like the back of my hand, I can assure you that the hottest options (i.e. Sephora) tend to sell out well before you commence your annual Love Actually rewatch.

The best part is that this year's offering is more impressive than ever (yep, even beating last year's Sephora advent calendar), packing even more full-size makeup, skincare and haircare goodies. All coming from some of the biggest beauty brands, of course. In fact, we've already had a sneak peak, and – without spoiling too much – you're in for a big treat (scroll down to discover the full breakdown of the products from the lineup).

After its big launch in 2022, Sephora has quickly become one of the go-to destinations for all things beauty in the UK, housing exclusive brands such as Makeup By Mario, ONE/SIZE, Tarte, ILIA, and, of course, the retailer's own line, Sephora Collection. Having earned their cult status on a global scale, these brands have also been praised by everyone from celebrities, beauty gurus and some of the most respected makeup artists in the industry.

So whether you're planning to pamper a fellow beauty-obsessed bestie, treat a family member or surprise your other half, securing the Sephora advent calendar will cement you as one of the best gifters around and earn you all the brownie points in the world. There's also nothing wrong with keeping it either – why not treat yourself to a well-deserved end-of-year present?

Long story short, if there's one thing that we know for sure, it's that this may well be the most sought-after advent calendar on every beauty lover's wishlist in 2024, period. And if you're just as excited as the GLAMOUR team, keep on reading, because we've saved all the juiciest deets below.
