Shoppers race to buy Cult Beauty’s advent calendar worth £1,100 for under £250

Beauty fans can save more than £800 by snapping up the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar filled with products from Medik8, Charlotte Tilbury and more

Arguably one of the most sought-after beauty advent calendars of the year, the Cult Beauty 2025 advent calendar has landed and shoppers aren’t delaying when it comes to adding one to their baskets. This year, there are two versions of the calendar – a classic curation and a limited edition curation, which does give fans a higher chance of snapping one up before they sell out.

Both advent calendars retail for £240 and are brimming with treats worth more than £1,100. Saving shoppers a whopping £860, the brands included are enough to get any beauty fan’s heart racing with the likes of Charlotte Tilbury, Elemis, Medik8 and Sol de Janerio spotted. We’ve given a full break down of the contents below, for those that don’t mind spoilers.

The classic curation is packed with 34 beauty items, 20 of which are full size, and the limited edition curation is brimming with 40, also 20 that are full sized. Last year’s Cult Beauty advent calendar did cost less at £195, but as the 2025 version is worth over £200 more, it’s a worthy upgrade and no surprise it’s ‘selling fast’.

Cult Beauty’s highly coveted advent calendars include an extra treat for shoppers – there are three Golden Tickets hidden within them. The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory of the beauty world, those lucky enough to find one will get £1,000 of Cult Beauty products each.

Out of all the beauty advent calendars available to shop now, Cult Beauty’s pick is one of the more expensive options, which may put some shoppers off. Alternatively, the No7 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar has landed for £60, worth more than £236. Another beauty advent calendar that can be snapped up for less than £100 is at Anthropologie – the brand’s 24 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar is £98 and worth £365.

However, when it comes to value for money the Cult Beauty advent calendars are worth almost five times the amount they retail for, so consumers truly are getting a lot of bang for their buck. One product alone in the calendar, the Augustinus Bader The Eyebrow and Lash Enhancing Serum, would set shoppers back £120.

This year’s packaging is designed in partnership with artist, filmmaker and photographer Quentin Jones, creating a quirky and breathtaking box that would sit pride of place on any dressing table. For those that just can’t wait to take a peek of what’s inside, keep reading to find out.
