Revolution Beauty’s advent calendars are back after 28,000 people join waitlist

Revolution Beauty has launched two new advent calendars to get shoppers excited for the festive period

While many people are still getting their heads around the end of summer and the imminent arrival of autumn, for us beauty writers, September marks the start of beauty calendar season. And joining the ranks of ASOS, LookFantastic, Glossybox and more, Revolution has recently unveiled its festive offering with not one, but two advent calendars packed with affordable beauty buys.

The first, available at Revolution and Boots for £42.50 (was £50), the Revolution Beauty Makeup Advent Calendar 2025 contains 24 make-up must-haves including tools. The calendar comes packed with ten full sized products and includes best-sellers, new launches, and exclusive products.

Boasting its 100% cruelty-free and vegan goodies, the Revolution advent calendar is worth over £100 and is made up of make-up staples from buttery lipsticks and lip oils and glowy highlighters to brushes, liners, and viral essentials.

Announcing the news that the calendar was returning on Instagram, the brand shared a post which was captioned: “Stop. Our best-selling Advent Calendar is BACK and and better than ever! You’re not gonna want to miss out on this glow-up.”

Packaged in a magenta pink box that comes decorated in Revolution’s signature star motif, the box opens up to reveal the boxes inside. Fans of the brand, upon learning this information, were quick to comment, sharing their excitement for the drop.

One person wrote: “Can’t wait to see what’s inside.” Another added: “So exciting. I’m gonna need this omg,” while a third echoed: “Okay I’m normally like ‘Ugh no too early for Xmas’ but this this I cant wait because I fell in love with many of your products with the one last year!”

With most people calling the calendar ‘dreamy’, the only qualm some people had was how early it was launching. While this is one of the more affordable calendars, it does contain just ten full-sized products, unlike LookFantastic’s £105 offering which has 15 full-sized products and Glossybox’s 2025 Beauty Advent Calendar, which has an impressive 19 full-sized goodies.
