The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar is back for 2023 — and honestly, it’s just as gorgeous as ever. For £250, you’re getting over £1,170 worth of beauty treats, which makes it one of the best-value calendars around. Packed with premium skincare, makeup, haircare, and even fragrance, it’s basically a dream come true for beauty lovers.
The design is pretty similar to past years with 25 drawers to open, and loads of full-sized and deluxe products tucked inside. While a lot of calendars keep creeping up in price, Harrods has actually kept this one steady — and the value is still just as amazing. If you’re looking for something super luxe to count down to Christmas, this calendar definitely needs to be on your list.
Let’s dive into everything behind those dreamy green drawers.
Day 1 – Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream 15ml – Worth £71
The Advent Calendar starts strong with the iconic Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream. This luxurious face cream, valued at £71 even for the 15ml size, is a cult favourite for good reason.
