These 2020 Beauty Advent Calendars Are So Good They Made Our Hearts Skip a Beat

Don't get me wrong—my Trader Joe's advent calendar is a yearly tradition that I get embarrassingly excited about. But for anyone with a hankering for covetable beauty products, advent calendars are the ultimate currency for travel- and full-size experimentation. And this year, the offerings are particularly spectacular. 

From beloved retailers like Net-a-Porter and ASOS to cult-loved (and investment-worthy) brands like Dr. Barbara Sturm and Charlotte Tilbury, more and more big names are jumping on the yearly beauty advent calendar train, and we're excited to shout "all aboard" at the top of our lungs. Below, we've rounded up 24 standouts sure to satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth for beauty—whether it's you, a loved one, or both. However, a word of advice: If you think you should wait until December to get your calendar, think again. These are selling fast (like, literally as I was writing), so it's best not to wait!

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content forBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie andBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
