Charlotte Tilbury’s Advent Calendar Is Already Here (& Set To Sell Out)

Yes, we hear you — it is too early to start thinking about the holiday season. Winter may be in full swing, but the sleigh bells are already ringing in the Christmas glitz and glam. Unsurprisingly, the glitziest and most glamorous name in the biz is leading the pack: Charlotte Tilbury.

The beloved brand has just announced its 2023 beauty advent calendar, nicknamed Charlotte's Lucky Chest of Beauty Secrets — a 12-drawer box of beauty treats, including a mixture of full-size and travel-size products. Despite our reticence about starting holiday prep so early, who are we to argue with the woman behind the luminous, Hollywood-grade glow so many of us are after come party season? The advent calendar is available to buy right now via the Charlotte Tilbury website and app, and let's just say, it's as good as you'd expect.

At $300, this calendar isn’t cheap, though if we incorporate some girl maths into the equation, that’s just over $25 per product. And make no mistake, the range of products included is sure to be a worthy investment, combining Charlotte Tilbury's bestselling makeup and skincare. Now that the calendar is available for purchase, we finally know exactly what products are included. This year’s edition includes a full-size Hot Lips 2 Lipstick ($49 each) and the Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir ($56), plus 10 travel-size versions of products like the Magic Cream ($125) and Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray ($65), both favourites of the R29 team for their ability to help makeup last all day. A few of our favourites from last year's iteration are also back this year, including travel sizes of the TikTok-famous Hollywood Beauty Light Wand in Spotlight ($60); Brow Fix ($48), which boasts amazing staying power ($39); and the Magic Serum Crystal Elixir ($110), which leaves even super-dry skin soft and glowing. Better yet, everything is packaged beautifully in a bejewelled chest that can be easily repurposed (mine now organises my jewellery collection).

Past customers might find the setup very similar to last year’s advent offering but we still reckon it's a brilliant way to shop Charlotte Tilbury and save. For CT newbies, it's an indulgent way to try out the brand’s top sellers without fully committing; for longtime fans, it's a luxurious way to stockpile your favourites. If previous years are any indication, we’re sure it’ll be an instant sell-out. We suggest grabbing yours now so you have it ready for December.
