The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar sold out in days last year - don't miss your chance to pre-order now
It works out to just £7.80 per item, and we predict it will sell out fast. We're only a few days into August, and yes – we're already talking about this year's beauty advent calendars. But there's good reason. Last year, many of the most coveted and best value options sold out quickly. The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar, for example, disappeared swiftly after its official launch in September, while the retailer's 12 Days of Fragrance Advent Calendar sold out during the pre-order period, making them some of last year's most sought-after Christmas countdowns. Luckily for us, Harrods has just opened its pre-orders on Tuesday 5 August. Yes, we know it's early, but if you don't want to miss out on an unbeatable luxurious countdown to Christmas, we'd snap yours up now. The 2025 Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar is one of the most sought-after calendars, packed with luxury products at a much lower price. Luxury brands such as La Mer, Augustinus Bader, MZ Skin, Sisley, Hourglass, and more feature, making this an excellent chance to try a wide range of high-end beauty products. It features a total of 32 indulgent items, including 14 full-size products. Highlighting some of the year's most sought-after launches, cult favourites, and celebrity beauty secrets, it offers everything from skin-soothing serums to restorative face masks, transformative make-up to aromatic essentials. Price-wise, nothing has changed – this year's calendar costs £250 (the same as what it was in 2024). However, it now comes with a huge 32 items, which is seven more than last year's version. The calendar works out at just £7.80 per product, which is an absolute bargain considering the popular La Mer's Créme de la Mer inside costs £85 alone, and the most expensive product costs a whopping £110. Pre-order now The MZ SKIN Soothe & Smooth Hyaluronic Brightening Eye Complex, which is worth an astonishing £110, has been described by shoppers as "magically effective", and "life changing". Using tri-peptides to stimulate collagen and elastin, it works to tackle fine lines and wrinkles and reduce dark circles and puffiness, and it costs almost half the price of this entire beauty advent calendar. If this isn't enough of a reason to splurge on The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar, we don't know what is! Another premium skincare pick is the full-size Medik8's Crystal Retinal 6, worth £69 for a 30ml tube. This award-winning formula promises to visibly smooth stubborn wrinkles, brighten dark spots, and decongest and firm the skin. Our own Shopping Contributor, Louise Whitbread, even says it's the one skincare product she can't be without. Other high-end picks that you probably wouldn't usually splurge on include the Augustinus Bader The Face Oil, a 30ml bottle is usually £210, which makes the 15ml bottle inside the Harrods calendar worth £105.

Pre-order now: The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 | £250 from Harrods Pre-order now Joining the beauty advent calendar line-up is The Harrods 12 Days of Hair & Body Advent Calendar – a more budget-friendly option. This year's edition has nine full-size heroes, such as Ouai's Hair Gloss and Chāmpo's Pitta Growth Serum, aimed to nurture you from head-to-toe. It even includes a voucher for your next blow-dry from Drybar. Alongside this, the luxury department store has also launched this year's The Harrods 12 Days of Fragrance Advent Calendar. Perfect for fragrance fans, it features 12 perfumes for £215, including seven full-size fragrances and four Harrods worldwide exclusives. Among the 12 doors you'll find a selection of men's, women's and unisex fragrances. However, in-app pre-orders opened just 24 hours ago on Monday 4 August, and they sold out by 5pm the same day. We're patiently waiting for a speedy restock. Harrods is the first major retailer to release this year's beauty advent calendar and open pre-orders, but others have hinted to launches later this August. Here's everything we know so far about the best beauty advent calendars for 2025.

Serena Williams shares dark circles hack to look wide awake ahead of Wimbledon
Serena Williams gave fans a glimpse at how she avoids waking up with dark circles in the morning thanks to two under-eye brightening products she can't live without If there's one person who is no stranger to an early start, it's Serena Williams. The tennis pro is used to spending long days training, not to mention plenty of events and travelling, which means that dark circles and puffy eyes are inevitable. Although she's been retired since 2022, Serena racked up an impressive seven Wimbledon wins before that, which means she's got her pre-game under-eye brightening routine down to a fine art. She finally shared her secret in her Go To Bed With Me video on Harper's Bazaar's YouTube channel, where she revealed two products in particular from MZ Skin are responsible. After applying the majority of her nighttime skincare routine, Serena then places the MZ Skin Hydra-Bright Gold Eye Mask under her eyes. She says: "Typically you want to leave this one for about 10 minutes,' before adding after removing them: 'That's like a bright, golden bright eye treatment, because I'm like 'I hate dark circles around my eyes', so I tried to get serious about treating my eyes.' The gold eye masks retail £80 for a pack of five, which may be a splurge for some but their benefits are evident (and not just thanks to Serena's bright under eyes). Each mask is infused with nano gold particles which boost how quickly your skin absorbs the ingredients, which include collagen, multi-molecular hyaluronic acid and seaweed extract, which is rich in nutrients. Each of these works to firm, smooth and hydrate your eye, and the gold particles help to quickly reduce puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles whilst giving them a luminous glow. If you do want something a little more budget-friendly, you could always try the Peter Thomas Roth Gold Hydra Gel Eye Masks. These retail at £58.95 for 30 Pairs, giving you six times as many patches as Serena's for £20 less. They're also designed to target dark circles, brighten your under eyes and reduce puffiness, however they don't contain the gold particles which makes the MK Skin masks work their magic so quickly. After removing the Hydra-Bright Gold Eye Mask, Serena then applies a layer of Soothe & Smooth Illuminate, also from MZ Skin, which hydrates and refreshes the delicate eye area. The under-eye cream contains Albizia bark extract which reduces dark circles by strengthening capillaries and detoxifying the area, whilst a tri-peptide complex boats collagen and elastin, making them look fuller and smoother. It also contains plumping and hydrating hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. In the video, Serena shared that she also sometimes applies the cream to her whole face whilst travelling, and joked: 'Sometimes I have a little five o'clock shadow so I put a little on top of my mustache… I think that if it's brightening it, it might brighten that too.' The cream is another splurge at £110, although it does have some rave reviews from shoppers to back up its price point. For something easier on your budget, you could always try Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème which currently has 20% off, slashing it from £38 to £30.40. It contains vitamin C and gold extract which encourage radiance to increase over time and banish dark circles, uneven skin tones and fine lines. It also contains light-reflecting yellow mineral pigments to revive tired-looking eyes, with hydrating ingredients to plump and smooth the area.
