Buy This Now: Benefit’s Makeup Advent Calendar

Benefit babes, stop what you're doing. The brand's advent calendar for the upcoming holiday season has officially hit shelves. Are you breathing? Make sure you're breathing.

For those of you not familiar with this cult craze, here's your crash course. Every year, the company releases a limited-edition, holiday-countdown box. Like a typical advent calendar, it has teeny compartments stuffed with goodies, each marked with a number. You pop one open on its corresponding date, starting on December 1 (or whenever you want, if you're rebellious like that), and you get a mini Benefit product or another little beauty treasure. This year, the theme is sweets: The front of the box resembles a bakery, complete with pies and jars of candy.

Lest you're not convinced that these are a big deal, the last time we told you guys about one, it sold out in minutes. So, if you're ready to start planning your December festivities, you should pick this baby up online now. Hey, no one will judge you for starting your Christmas shopping in October. Well, at least, we won't.

Benefit Candy-Coated Countdown, $99, available at Benefit.
