Canadian Beauty Advent Calendars 2018

Gone are the days of a cheap plastic tasting chocolate advent calendars.  Treat yourself to a beauty advent calendar for 2018.  From perfume, makeup, skincare and nail polish, there are many options to treat yourself to 24 (or 12) days of beauty for advent.

Growing up, I loved those cheap Advent Calendars with a mini chocolate.  Now, with so many beauty options, Advent Calendars are even more fun – even as an adult.  While we don’t get quite the selection of advent calendars as the UK or USA in Canada, there are still some great options.  Choose between skincare, makeup, bath products and more.  This list of Canadian beauty advent calendars will be updated as new ones become available.

You can get several international beauty advent calendars on Amazon.  They are obviously more expensive than buying them direct, but most will not ship their advent calendars internationally.  Choose from Technic, Makeup Revolution, Bomb Cosmetics and more.
