The wait is officially over: the iconic Sephora Advent Calendar 2023 has just gone on sale, and it's already selling out. So if you've been waiting to secure one of the very best beauty advent calendars ever, trust me when I tell you that it really doesn't get any better than Sephora.
But act fast, because last year's Sephora advent calendar was sold out within just 5 weeks (yes, actually), meaning there's no time to waste – you definitely don't want to wait until the last second to snap this one up.
The best part is that this year's offering is bigger 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.
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. Needless to say, if you're after a multi-brand beauty advent calendar that's genuinely worth the ££, the Sephora advent calendar is definitely worth having on your radar.
Of course, every year, we see quite a handful of the best beauty advent calendars appear across all online retailers, offering an array of makeup, skincare, haircare, bodycare and perfume treats hidden behind the numbered doors. But prove us wrong: as far as Christmas gifts go, it's hard to beat a brand just as iconic as Sephora.
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 for yourself either – why not treat your dear ol' self 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 2023.
And if you're just as excited as the GLAMOUR team, keep on reading, because we've saved all the juiciest deets for last and put together a full breakdown below. We've also already had a little sneak peek, having unpacked and checked out the said calendar in-person, and trust us – this is not a launch that you want to miss out on.
