by There’s no shortage of choice when it comes to luxury beauty advent calendars this year, with iterations from the likes of Harrods, Space NK and Liberty London already proving popular with shoppers, and in some cases, selling out completely (Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar It’s long gone). But there’s one recent drop we think could give the rest a run for their money: the Harvey Nichols 2024 Beauty Advent Calendar.
It costs £250, but with £1,000 worth of content, it’s one of the most impressive product listings we’ve seen so far this year. Inside there are a huge 42 products from 31 brands behind 25 drawers. Some of the big name brands you can expect to find include Augustinus Bader, Trinny London, Charlotte Tilbury, Le Labo, La Prairie and many more. And did we mention there are 18 full size items?
Available to shop now, we reckon this will be a serious contender in this year’s battle for the best Christmas beauty calendar, with the most products to date, making it one of the best value options.

As far as the most expensive picks in this calendar, the cult classic, Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream, which retails at £74 for 15ml, is called a rich cell renewal cream, which helps to deeply hydrate the skin use of natural amino acids. , vitamins and high-grade peptides in something called TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex). The luxury cream is a favorite among A-list celebrities and the calendar is a great opportunity to try it without spending a huge amount on one moisturiser.
There’s also a handbag-friendly sample of the deliciously sweet fruit and citrus-scented Xerjoff Erba Pura Eau de Parfum which costs a whopping £140 for a 50ml bottle, and £205 for a 100ml bottle.

Other highlights we’re particularly excited to try include Charlotte Tilbury’s Revolution Matte Lipstick (£30), Trinny London’s Eye2Eye (£18), 111SKIN Bio Cellulose Face Mask (£19) and lip balm Malin+ Goetz Mojito (£14) .
There’s also a full-size Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer blush that shoppers describe as blendable, buildable and perfect for adding a bit of color all over.
We also love that the calendar includes lots of useful items to help add a little luxury to the everyday chaos of Christmas, including Geranium Bamford Body Lotion, Nom Happiness Scented Candle and Espa Bergamot & Jasmine Bath & Shower Gel .
Even better, Harvey Nichols has hidden a £250 gift card in a select number of calendars, and according to the retailer, you have a chance of finding one in 100 vouchers behind drawer number 25 on Christmas Day.
