It’s no secret that beauty advent calendars have become just as much a festive tradition as classic chocolate countdowns – and the launches for 2023 are promising a very decadent December.

So far, M&S has unveiled a pleasingly affordable box, Sephora has announced the return of its sell-out range (the cheapest is just £49.99), and the Selfridges and Liberty line-ups are as luxurious as ever. Now, John Lewis has revealed its 2023 beauty advent calendar – and it doesn’t disappoint.

Setting you back £195 but boasting an overall value of more than £920, the roster of products inside span make-up, haircare, skincare, pampering and more.

From Charlotte Tilbury, Ren and Clinique to Carolina Herrera, Neom and Elemis, you’ll find 16 full-size products and 15 deluxe-size products from mega brands. Plus, some of the advent calendars are even hiding a £500 John Lewis gift voucher or money-can’t-buy experience behind door 25.

Officially available now, get the full lowdown on John Lewis’s beauty advent calendar 2023 below.

The deluxe-size offering is just as impressive. Behind the doors, you’ll find everything from Laura Mercier’s loose setting powder and Nars’s blush to Living Proof’s triple bond complex and Philip Kingsley’s weightless shampoo and conditioner duo (it’s safe to say you’re covered when it comes to travel-sized essentials).

With treats to both pamper (think Sisley’s haircare oil, Demalogica’s peptide eye gel and Susanne Kaufmann’s glow mask) and make you party-ready (Bobbi Brown’s shadow stick for bold eyes and Clinique’s mascara for high-impact lashes), it’s the perfect roster of formulas for the festive season.

The beauty advent calendar is available now and, if previous years are anything to go by, you’ll want to be quick to snap it up, before it sells out.
