Beauty advent calendars have exploded in popularity over the past couple of years, with every brand releasing their own countdown to Christmas for those who’ve moved on from chocolate-filled ones. We’ve sorted through the options out there and compiled a list of our 2018 favourites based on who’s on your gift list.
The Self-Care Enthusiast
These are for the person who are way more about JOMO than FOMO and would rather make a date with a bath bomb than a human. All that’s missing from these collections are a fully drawn bath and a warm cup of steeped tea.
This set from L’Occitane allows you to try pretty much everything. (OMG the Almond Shower Oil is EVERYTHING.) The brand also released a smaller version for $59.
The Body Shop knows how to do it up and their annual advent calendars are no exception. This $169 set, for example, is valued at $377. They also have a few cheaper options.
The Fragrance Fanatic
For the person for whom a fragrance wardrobe is a way of life, you can’t lose with these treasure troves of scents.
This set includes everything from rollerballs to sprays to dabbers.
The Skincare Buff
Skincare obsessives will relish ripping through a variety of products and will be living their best life while figuring out what works best with their skin.
This set is chock-full of the apothecary brand’s skincare staples like Ultra Facial Moisturizer and Creme de Corps. We also have to credit the super cute packaging, designed by artist Andrew Bannecker.
This advent calendar from Clarins is the ultimate skin-saver.
The Makeup Hoarder
For the person for whom one highlighter is never enough, we present options that highlight a taste of each brand’s star products, from YSL’s iconic Touche Éclat Pen to Charlotte Tilbury’s bestselling lipstick, “Pillow Talk”.
From lip glosses to eyeshadows, this advent calendar gives you a little bit of everything. Also: KITTENS!
The Beauty Devotee
For the person who is just as stoked to try an essence as she is a mascara, these sets include skincare, makeup and body care, providing the ultimate mash-up of products.
Net-A-Porter has curated a lineup of some of their favourite products for this calendar including a peachy lipstick from Marc Jacobs and a nourishing night oil from Sunday Riley.
The results for our 19th annual Beauty Awards are in – after hours of testing by our jurors, who diligently tried over 400 products across the categories of skincare, hair care, fragrances, cosmetics and more. FASHION’s very own editor-in-chief, Bernadette Morra, and creative and fashion director George Antonopoulos, helmed a team of renowned professionals including Toronto-based dermatologist Dr. Lisa Kellett , hair and makeup professionals Sheri Stroh and Olivia Colacci , perfume critics Marian Bendeth and Nathalie Atkinson , as well as sister-publication editors Alison McGill , Kimberly Aglipay , Charlotte Herrold and Maureen Halushak and men’s product experts Greg Hudson and Ken Atkinson. Here are the best beauty products of 2019. Fragrance Fragrance is certainly a subjective product, however these are the three that our jurors were unanimously drawn to in 2019.

When Alexa Suter was plagued with a series of recurring UTIs in 2017, she became hyperaware of the products she was putting on her body. The Vancouver-based marketer began replacing the conventionally crafted soaps, lotions and detergents in her routine with more natural alternatives. But there was one particularly intimate swap that she says made the biggest difference for her health down there. “I noticed that if I was wearing underwear made from a natural fibre like cotton, I would feel much better than if I was wearing a synthetic nylon or polyester,” Suter says. That observation led Suter down a rabbit hole of research, where she discovered that synthetic textiles like nylon and polyester are far from breathable and a breeding ground for odour-causing bacteria. Such man-made fabrics are also often treated with toxic compounds like formaldehyde, resins and flame retardants, some of which may trigger allergic reactions, disrupt the body’s hormonal functions and have even been li...
