July 2022 · 3 minute read

With exclusive, limited-edition beauty advent calendars from Saks Fifth Avenue ($220) and Macy's (from $49.50) now selling fast, Bloomingdale’s isn’t being left behind. 

The luxury department store has unveiled their own covetable holiday beauty countdown  - the 'Bright Lights Big Pretty' 25-day luxury beauty advent calendar ($300) - featuring brands from makeup icons like MAC and Laura Mercier as well as skincare saviors La Prairie, Augustinus Bader and SK-II.

Worth $800, the exclusive advent calendar - 25 individually wrapped luxury beauty presents to open, one each day, in the run up to the holidays - is just as good as you’d expect.

The surprises, ranging from trial-sizes to full-size products, are all tucked inside a box inspired by the architecture of Bloomingdale’s iconic 59th Street NYC flagship.

Bloomingdale’s beauty experts have hand picked each gift in the $300 set, and the selection for 2023 is impressive, whether you’re already a luxury beauty fan or just can’t wait to try.

After taking a look at the contents and reading reviews from shoppers, there are some pros and cons:

Like most of the beauty advent calendars I’ve seen this year, there’s a heavy focus on skin care with concentrates, creams, eye treatments and cleansers from the likes of Shiseido, Sisley-Paris, Kiehl's, Estée Lauder, RéVive, Elemis and more top brands. 

Makeup too, is represented, with Charlotte Tilbury, Valentino and YSL treats and if you’re a fragrance fan who loves to sample new scents, you’ll love the designer eau de parfums, ranging from royal-approved Penhaligan’s - famously loved by Princess Diana - to the unisex cult favorite Le Labo Santal 33, worn by stars from Sophie Turner to Ryan Reynolds.

And last but certainly not least, luxury candles by Parfums de Marly and Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
