Sound the alarm, beauty advent calendar season is well and truly upon us with a whole host of gorgeous brands, like Sephora and LookFantastic's countdowns dropping for the festive period. And today, September 4, marks the launch of ASOS' Face + Body 25 Day Advent Calendar for 2024.

And if last year's was anything to go by, we're in for a real treat. At £95, the new calendar costs £5 more than last year's, with 26 skincare and make-up favourites that are sure to give you a sumptuous glow. Featuring brands like Sol De Janeiro, NEOM, MAC, Philip Kingsley, ICONIC LONDON and Made By Mitchell, the ASOS beauty countdown, here, is worth a whopping £400 and contains 12 full-size products and 14 travel-sized minis, meaning your cosmetic cabinet will be well and truly stocked, ready for 2025.

Now before we get stuck into what you'll have to look forward to this December, let's discuss the calendar's holographic design. The goodies inside are neatly tucked away in little boxes that are within a luminous, iridescent parcel secured with a ribbon.

Teasing the news a few days before the launch, ASOS shared a BTS video compilation of the advent calendar photo shoot and captioned it: "When you book a modelling gig but get outshined by an advent cal."

What's inside the ASOS Face + Body Advent Calendar?

Right folks, this is your warning - spoilers lie ahead so if you don't want to know the full contents of the advent calendar, scroll down or look away now. Continue at your own peril!

Those who don't care for secrecy and just want to know what they're securing for themselves this 2024, below is a list of what you can expect to receive this Christmas.

Is it worth it?

This year's offering is £5 more expensive than last year and is worth £3 more. Plus, with just four products, you've already made back some of the money spent on the entire thing. For example, the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand costs £30 as does the Philip Kingsley Elasti-Styler 5-in-1 Treatment. The Sachajuan Styling Cream is £29, which already totals £89. Add the £6 Invisibobble scrunchie and you've got the price of the calendar.

Last year, our fashion and beauty writer Bethan Shufflebotham couldn't stop raving about the calendar, which included Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Dreams Luxury Palette, and said: "The value of my top five products alone exceed the price you pay for the box, rendering the other 20 items - which include the likes of Rituals, Elemis and MAC completely free. ASOS have included a great mix of best loved brands, viral sensations and newbies to discover, packaged it in a fun and exciting way, striking the ultimate balance between price and products, making ASOS’s one of the most exciting beauty advent calendars money can buy this Christmas."

If the contents of the box aren't really hitting the spot for you, take a look at some of the other beauty advent calendar offerings currently available. LookFantastic's Iconic Beauty Advent Calendar is worth over £565 and costs £100 while Beauty Bay's contains goodies totalling £345 and costs £100. For something a bit more affordable, Makeup Revolution's Advent Calendar costs £48 although it's worth £97. Get it here.
