While the current weather would make you think otherwise, it feels almost illegal to be speaking about one of the best beauty advent calendars when it is technically still summer. But we'll make an exception for Cult Beauty. Widely recognised as one of the best beauty edits of festive season (yes, Christmas is officially within sight people and the flurry of new advent calendars prove it), the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar, £240, has built up a reputation for being premium, highly sought after, and worth every penny.
Much like the Liberty London Advent Calendar and Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar, Cult Beauty's annual iteration is the crème de la crème of the beauty advent calendar world, which is known to deliver the best in beauty year after year, and let's just say this year is absolutely no different.

Is the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 worth it?
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'Absolutely. While there are ample beauty edits out there for holiday season, the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar Classic Curation 2025 is a strong example of how to do things right. It strikes the perfect balance between new launches, viral sensations and cult classics that we all likely have jotted down on our beauty shopping lists, think: the Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced, the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush, and Hair By Sam McKnight's Love Me Do Nourishing Oil – all in full size might I add. But that's not the only balance. Brimming with 34 products, the compilation covers all the beauty bases from hair to skin, body and make-up, which leaves no stone unturned. Yes, it is on the pricey side, but the total worth of the edit (£1,100) really puts the value of money into perspective. It's not just girl math, it's good math.'
Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'Ok. I've managed to get a sample of this one ahead of time, and (purely in the name of beauty journalism, of course) have opened every single drawer. Goodness me, you won't be disappointed with this one. While I don't want to spoil everything, allow me to wax lyrical about a few highlights. Day 1 starts off strong with a Summer Friday's cult classic face mist - the brand is well known for its ability to smooth and tone even the most parched of complexions. And Day 7 brings a mini hourglass mascara, one of my favourites for adding volume and length to my otherwise stubby lashes. I'll stop there. But know that there are no fillers in this advent calendar. Every single drawer contains something good. Really good. Rest assured that this isn't one to miss.'
