The Cult Beauty ‘The Classic Curation’ Advent Calendar

The Cult Beauty ‘The Classic Curation’ Advent Calendar – RRP £240.00

A pastel-blue sky and soft white surface serve as the backdrop for the Cult Beauty 2025 advent calendar, unfolded to form a central cube-like box with stylized black-and-white art, including swirling zebra stripes, abstract shapes, and the bold label ‘CULT BEAUTY’ on the front. Displayed around and atop the box are 30-plus beauty and skincare products featuring sleek bottles, tubes, jars, and spray vials in an array of sizes and soft colors—pinks, greens, creams, and metallics. Among them are recognizable items like a blue-tubed Byoma product, a white K18 jar, a pink Kosas compact, a green Fenty Skin container, and a copper-toned lip or mascara tube. The mix of shapes, finishes, and subtle branding suggests a curated collection of serums, creams, lipsticks, oils, sprays, and other high-end beauty treats.

What does the brand say about it?

Cult Beauty says;

“With 35 iconic products – 20 of which are full-sized – the Classic Curation will thrill with its line-up of makeup, skin, hair care and wellbeing heroes. Boasting 16 of the year’s hottest launches, 15 ethical essentials and 3 Cult Beauty exclusives. Three of our calendars also play host to a Golden Ticket worth 1,000 Cult Beauty pounds.”

How many products are repeated?

Compared to last year’s release, there are 3 repeated products in the advent calendar. They have been highlighted in the list above.

What is different to last year?

Going for a modern luxe aesthetic, Cult Beauty have stepped away from “pretty in pink” and into college art for this years design. They have also shaken up the brands included, with a few fan favourites. But making sure newer collaborations from 2025 are featured.

I’ve also noticed how the brand have decided to not include their own branded accessories this year.

My Thoughts

The advent calendar has seen a £5.00 price increase this year, now retailing at £240.00 RRP. It’s advertised as being worth over £1,100.00, and after tallying up what I could, I’d say that figure checks out. And that was without pricing up every single product!

It really is an incredible haul, with a thoughtful balance of product types and brands. I love that it includes a mix of high-end favourites, but there’s also that bittersweet feeling of discovering a product that works perfectly for your skin… only to realise it’s far outside your regular budget.

If money were no object, this would be in my basket instantly. But at £240.00, I’ll personally be keeping an eye on the gift sets this year instead. A slightly more budget-friendly way to try out some of these cult-favourite brands.

But, what are your thoughts?
