If you celebrate Christmas, chances are, you have fond memories of opening the tiny doors on your Advent calendar in the days leading up to Christmas.

Perhaps our favorite type of Advent calendar, though, is the one filled to the brim with skincare, makeup, nailcare and haircare products. Fortunately for us (and you!), there are so many beauty-themed Advent calendars to choose from this year. Ahead, find 15 that instantly captured our attention.
