The Advent Calendar of the Season Has Arrived
Advent calendar season is officially upon us, and Bloomingdale's has entered the ring with a heavyweight contender. The retailer's 25 Days of Luxury Beauty Advent Calendar is here for 2026, packing over $1,252 worth of prestige skincare, makeup, fragrance, and haircare into a single gift set priced at $350. If you've been eyeing a curated way to sample the biggest names in luxury beauty without committing to full sizes, this might just be the drop of the year.
What's Inside the Bloomingdale's 25 Days of Luxury Beauty Calendar
The lineup reads like a wishlist of the industry's most coveted labels. Highlights include:
- Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream – the cult-favourite anti-ageing moisturiser powered by TFC8 technology
- La Mer The Treatment Lotion in a generous 3.4 oz size
- La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift for instant firming
- SK-II Skin Power Re-New Cream and Guerlain Abeille Royale Watery Oil Serum
- Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum for deep hydration
- 111SKIN Cryo De-Puffing Eye Mask and the Celestial Black Diamond Lifting & Firming Mask
- Elemis Pro-Collagen Green Fig Cleansing Balm and SkinMedica AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
- Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream and Clarins Precious La Crème
- Eighth Day Regenerative Serum and Clé de Peau Beauté Vitality-Enhancing Eye Mask Supreme
On the makeup side, expect Armani Eye Tint in 44S Blush, Sisley Paris Phyto-Lip Twist in N°2 Baby, U Beauty PLASMA Lip Compound, Trish McEvoy Liquid Face Color in Glow, and M·A·C M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipstick in Hodge Podge. Haircare and tools are covered too, with the iconic Moroccanoil Treatment, an Emi Jay Sweetheart Clip in Prima Donna, and the Otis Batterbee Rocket Blender Brush.
Fragrance lovers will spot Le Labo Santal 33, Maison Francis Kurkdjian À la rose, Brunello Cucinelli Ombra Lirica, and a Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Candle to set the mood.
A Fragrance-Focused Alternative
If perfume is more your love language, Bloomingdale's is also releasing a 12 Days of Luxury Fragrance Advent Calendar stacked with heavy-hitters like CREED Aventus, Silver Mountain Water, and Millésime Impérial, plus BYREDO Gypsy Water, Parfums de Marly Delina Body Cream, BVLGARI Baciami, Christian Louboutin La Rose Fétiche, Van Cleef & Arpels Orchidée Vanille, and niche gems from INITIO, Ex Nihilo, MIND GAMES, and Matière Première.
Is It Worth It?
At roughly 72% off the total retail value, this calendar is genuinely one of the strongest price-to-value ratios in the luxury advent space this year. Consider it a smart way to:
- Test-drive high-ticket products like Augustinus Bader or La Prairie before investing in full sizes
- Build a travel skincare kit with pre-portioned essentials
- Gift beautifully to the beauty obsessive in your life (yourself included)
Available now while stocks last — and if past years are anything to go by, the most luxurious calendars sell out fast.
