Beauty advent calendars come in all shapes, sizes and styles and while some lean into the whimsy or classic festive vibes, you can always rely on Charlotte Tilbury's to be gorgeous and sizzling hot - and for 2026, it's even more glam than ever.
I think it's down to the fact that it's shaped in an aesthetically pleasing box, it's a vibrant shade of red and it even has star bejewelled handles. I imagine a lot of men (and women) buy the Charlotte Tilbury advent calendar for their partner ahead of the holidays, and this year that token of affection has been taken up a notch.
It's called the Charlotte's Hollywood Beauty Advent Calendar and in every jewel-handled drawer you'll find a product from the award-winning, globally-loved beauty brand.
This advent has 12 drawers, so let's see if it's actually worth it.

First things first, the advent calendar itself is downright gorgeous. It can double as a jewellery box post-Christmas, but I'll be honest, I don't always reuse my advent calendars - but this one will have pride of place on my dressing table.
Design and jewelled handles aside, it's all about what's inside the box. Is it worth it? Inside, there's four full-size products and 11 other products inside. I'm impressed by all the treats included - they are all perfect for any skin tone, and a lot of them are bestsellers for the brand so you know you're getting quality products a Charlotte Tilbury fan would likely covet already. .
My favourite product inside would be the travel-sized AIRBrush Flawless Setting Spray. I already use this, but this will be a handy handbag-sized bottle that I can take out on the go, especially for festive parties.
From the list of full-size products, my favourite would be the Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick, a chunky blush that slicks on like a dream for a flushed, healthy glow.
Something I love about the advent calendar this year is that it doesn't just focus on makeup or skincare products, but includes two accessories for the first time ever. There's the Charlotte's Magic Sculpting Gua Sha Tool plus the Pillow Talk Velvet Organiser Makeup Bag (measures 83 x 151 x 83 mm). Makes a nice change to have merchandise included, as these are things that will be used beyond Christmas and into 2027.
Charlotte's Hollywood Wonderland Beauty Advent Calendar

Anything bad to say about it?
It's hard to find something negatives about it, as it has a good range of Charlotte Tilbury's entire collection. Obviously, if you're not overly fussed by the brand perhaps it's not the one for you!

Will the Charlotte Tilbury advent calendar sell out?
Last year, one sold every minute for 24 hours after its launch so I'm going to predict that yes, this is going to sell and fast.
