The Sephora Favorites Best-of-Beauty Advent Calendar has arrived and along with it the regular Sephora Collection Advent Calendar. Are they worth indulging in? That’s debating especially when it comes to the regular Sephora Collection Advent Calendar that’s $50 and includes 24 pics from the Sephora Collection. This one is $50 and includes all Sephora Favorite items but sadly a lot of is filler content like a nose strip, cleansing wipes, a polish top coat, a hair scrunchie, etc…It’s just a very uneventful array of products for $50. I’ll never understanding why a marketing team sits down and thinks, “This is a great Advent Calendar! Beauty junkies are going to love it!” And everything inside is utterly disappointing. There are SO many great items in the Sephora Collection! Sure, some are hit or miss but some are actually really good yet they create an advent calendar with items that just seem so phoned in! Why not include some of the more popular items? Also, I believe most of the items are either deluxe or mini-size which makes this even more insulting!
Let’s take a look at the contents of both the Sephora Favorites Best-of-Beauty Advent Calendar and regular Sephora Advent Calendar!

Sephora Favorites Best-of-Beauty Advent Calendar ($99) does veer away from the Sephora Collection thankfully and includes more popular brands. This is sadly, not nearly as good as the Sephora Favorites Holiday 2024 Advent Calendar that was launched in the UK but it is a lot better than the regular Advent Calendar we just discussed as it contains premium brands like Charlotte Tilbury, Commodity, Jo Malone, Lancome, Sol de Janeiro, and more. Apparently the total value is $366. It does contain full-size items as well as minis.
