Although the idea of cold evenings, mince pies and lashings of mulled wine may seem like a distant thought, in fact, Christmas is a lot closer than you think. The true marker of the season? The many, many beauty advent calendars that are launching thick and fast. From Cult Beauty to ASOS to Charlotte Tilbury, many beauty retailers have revealed this year's advent calendars, and we couldn't be more excited. Personally, though, there's one brand I'm extremely excited to get my hands on this year.
I was lucky enough to get hold of Space NK's 2025 Beauty Advent Calendar before the launch (11th September), and as a former beauty advisor for the brand, I knew it'd be packed full of hard-working beauty heroes from top brands. Summer Fridays, Tatcha, Glossier, Charlotte Tilbury, Sol de Janeiro, and Olaplex are just some of the coveted brands you can shop at Space NK, and in this year's curated advent calendar, you can (thankfully) expect to see these included in the mix.
With 35 beauty treats hidden behind the festive print, this year's beauty advent calendar might just be the best addition yet. Want to know what's inside? Keep scrolling for all of the spoilers, plus why it's absolutely worth buying.

Space NK has gained cult-status as one of our favourite beauty retailers, and the advent calendar is one of the best out there. The brand knows a thing or two about curating beauty edits, full of premium brands and this year's calendar has been made to showcase the best range of brands available in store. I was pleased to see products like Tatcha's brightening serum, Augustinus Bader's Retinol Serum, Naturium's Niacinamide Cleanser and an exclusively new brand to Space, REFY's Brow Sculpt.

Is Space NK's Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 worth it?
Georgia Scott, beauty commerce writer, says: 'Absolutely yes. Of course, any beauty advent calendar is a luxury, but if you are a beauty nerd, this one definitely ticks all of the boxes. Space NK holds a special place in my heart as an ex-employee, working as a beauty advisor and MUA throughout my time at university. I've since loved seeing all the new brands join the ever-growing list of retailers, so you can imagine my excitement when a sample of this year's calendar arrived at my doorstep. Of course, like any good beauty journalist, I had a peep into every door and I can honestly say his year's calendar is the best one yet. You can expect Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Beauty Light Wand, Color Wow's Dream Coat and one of my all-time favourites, Ole Henriksen's Banana Bright Eye Cream. There's also a mixture of brands like Lisa Eldridge, Hourglass, Kosas, and Summer Fridays, all thrown in for good measure. Not only does this advent make a great treat for yourself, but it doubles up as multiple gifts for your loved ones - it's a no-brainer. So, if you're contemplating the purchase, I recommend you think fast, as this one always sells out quickly. Trust me, you won't regret it.'
