Sephora's advent calendars are among the most in-demand advent calendars of 2024, especially in the beauty sphere. Since their launch earlier this fall, the makeup, haircare and skincare-filled gift sets have sold like hotcakes, with early bird buyers scoring thousands of dollars worth of beauty goodies at a fraction of the cost.

With prime advent calendar season approaching quickly, there's no better time to snag yours than during the Sephora Savings Event. Until tonight (Nov. 11), Sephora Canada shoppers can save 30 per cent on Sephora Collection products (including Sephora Collection advent calendars) and up to 20 per cent on the retailer's other advent calendars, including those from Charlotte Tilbury and Dr. Barbara Sturm. If you're interested, you'll want to act quickly — the sale ends today (Nov. 11).

Ahead of the Black Friday sales rush, I had the opportunity to test out three advent calendars from Sephora: the viral Sephora Collection Advent Calendar, the Sephora Collection After Advent Calendar and the L'Occitane 24 Days Of Beauty Advent Calendar.

To read my full review of each and shop them on sale before they (inevitably) sell out, scroll below.

Editor review:

The Sephora Collection Advent Calendar is easily one of the year's most sought-after sets, especially in Canada. While the reviews online are mixed, I think it's actually a really nice gift set. It includes several of the brand's bestselling sheet masks, a full-sized Lip Marker, a set of tweezers and three nail polishes you will actually use all of the time. It's easily giftable — if you're buying this for someone else, it will be a surefire hit.

Editor review:

We've all heard of advent calendars, but what about post-holiday, "After Advent" calendars? A fun little gift set for those weird in-between days between Christmas and New Year's Eve, this 8-piece set actually feels like it's worth $106. Everything inside is standard-sized, so you're getting proper bang for your buck. It includes a pretty blue nail polish, volumizing mascara, a lip sleeping mask and more. Honestly, it might be one of the best advent calendars available in 2024.

Editor review:

It's not just the look of the 2024 L'Occitane 24 Days Of Beauty Advent Calendar that I love, but what's inside, too. This prettily packaged advent calendar is a fun (and practical!) way to countdown to the holidays. The two-sided gift set contains 25 L'Occitane goodies, ranging from the brand's bestselling Neroli & Orchid Hand Cream to its Cleansing and Softening Shower Oil. Not only is it a great gift idea for those who love body and bath products, but it will come in handy for the frequent-flier, as it includes a ton of travel-sized necessities, like shampoo, conditioner and shower gel.
