December may still feel far away, but the very best advent calendars are being released right now – and there are some goodies this year.
Space NK's iconic beauty advent calendar is back for 2024, and it really is better than ever. Worth a huge £1,200, the 24-day calendar has some of the hottest products the beauty world has to offer, and it's officially available for pre-order.
The beauty retailer has upped the ante this year by scrapping the mini products and giving beauty fans 23 full-sized products, so it may be worth the investment for those who want to try out new products or stock up on their favourites.
Space NK's Beauty Advent Calendar
The Space NK advent calendar is also a favourite within the influencer sphere – but is it worth the hype?
Space NK advent calendar - my review
The advent calendar has an impressive 35 products tucked away behind its doors from some of the best-loved beauty brands including Charlotte Tilbury, Paula's Choice, and Summer Fridays. It's extremely rare for a beauty advent calendar to be made up of almost all full-size products, so shoppers really are getting the most for their money.
I also love the shade choices in the advent calendar. Rather than giving shoppers bright purple lipstick that no one really wants, you'll actually find some of the most popular shade choices inside. The Charlotte Tilbury Colour Comedian eyeshadow comes in cult favourite Pillow Talk, while the Rare Beauty Lip Tinted Oil comes in a neutral pink shade that will look gorgeous on every skin and hair colour.
If the excitement of cult favourite beauty product each day wasn't enough, Space NK have launched a 'Golden Ticket' competition within the advent calendars. A golden ticket is tucked away in five calendars, granting a lucky winner a Dyson Airwrap and the new Chitosan Post Style Serum worth £530.
Shoppers can also uncover a sneak peak into the first five days of the advent calendar, and if you just can't wait to see what's inside, you can take a look at the contents list below.

Is the Space NK advent calendar worth the money?
Retailing at £250, the Space NK advent calendar isn't cheap. However, if you're in the market for trying out new products, the retailer really has nailed its contents list for 2024. Some of the most high-end brands around will be found behind the 24 doors, including the luxurious Augustinus Bader and the TikTok-viral Tatcha. As almost all of the products are full-size, the calendar is likely to set you up for months with its variety of skincare, makeup and haircare goodies to enjoy.
Space NK isn't the only advent calendar that has been making waves in the beauty world. LookFantastic's advent calendar also has treats from top brands including Estee Lauder and Colour Wow. If you're the kind of person who loves to stay loyal to their favourite brands, ELEMIS and Benefit have both dropped their 2024 advent calendars, too.
The Space NK advent calendar is available for pre-order now, but we're expecting it to sell out before 1 December, so you'll want to hurry to avoid disappointment.
