It may feel a little surreal to already start talking about advent calendars this year, especially since some readers may still be in countries where it feels like the peak of summer! That said, advent calendars are slowly being released for 2021 and it’s fair to say that the best are quick to sell out!
Cult Beauty have recently announced the launch of the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2021, and we know that lovers of Cult Beauty are going to want to snap this up fast. Here’s everything you need to know about what the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar has in store for us, and how you can be one of the first to hear about its launch date.
**UPDATE: the first drop has already sold out! Second drop being released in early November!)**
The Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2021 – What You Need to Know
It’s time to set your beauty countdown for this one because the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2021 is an absolute gem of an advent calendar. It’s not yet released, but rest assured you’re going to want to be one of the first to know when it’s available for purchase, because we think it’s going to sell out FAST.
What’s Inside?
For 2021, Cult Beauty have packed this advent calendar FULL, with no less than 38 beauty must-haves. This means that saying this calendar only offers one treat a day for the month of December is grossly underselling it.
This year, the advent calendar is in the form of a pale pink box, with many faces drawn on the box in a fluid red outline, symbolising the spirit of personal expression and a nod to the abstract nature of beauty. Something wonderful is offered behind each of the 25 pale pink drawers, with the 25th drawer holding an extra special treat. Behind it, owners will be happy to find a full-sized exclusive Bella Freud Loving Candle, worth £55 in its own right.

2021 holds a little extra special something for the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar. This year, Cult Beauty will be donating £40,000 from calendar sales to the Beauty Backed Trust – an organisation founded in response to the pandemic that aims to offer support to beauty professionals through grants, mentorships and masterclasses. In addition, they are also partnering with ClimatePartner and pledge to plan one tree for every calendar sold. Just another two good reasons to place the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2021 on your shopping list!
