I don’t think this brand has specifically released an advent calendar for the Christmas season of 2023.
I am not surprised because the Black Friday event after Thanksgiving, the entire website undergoes major discounting.
At the moment, you can buy two different advent calendars on the Huda Beauty website depending on your location.
Location One Advent Calendar

In the UAE (where I am passing through), you get the EMPOWERED 12 door Advent calendar, which is a combination of skincare products and make up products, minus any palettes
- 1 x Wishful full-size Yo Glow Enzyme Scrub
- 1 x WishfulEye Lift & Contour Double Peptide Hydrogel Masks
- 1 x Wishful mini-size Get Even Rose Oil
- 1 x Wishful mini-size Honey Whip Peptide Moisturizer
- 1 x Wishful Moisturizing Wand Brush
- 1 x Huda Beauty mini-size Water Jelly Hydrating Primer
- 1 x Huda Beauty full-size Cheeky Tint Blush Stick in Coral Cutie
- 1 x Huda Beauty Face | Cheek Color Complexion Brush
- 1 x Huda Beauty full-size Legit Lashes Double-Ended Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara in Very Vanta (Extreme Black)
- 1 x Huda Beauty full-size Quick ‘n Easy Precision Liquid Liner in Very Vanta (Extreme Black)
- 1 x Huda Beauty full-size Liquid Matte Ultra-Comfort Transfer-Proof Lipstick in Bombshell
- 1 x Kayali Eau De Parfum Rollerball in Musk | 12 & Vanilla | 28
The cost is AED 719 or US$195
Is this value for money?
The only reason why you buy Huda Beauty is (i) you love the products (ii) you want to take advantage of the pricing.
At the moment, Huda Beauty are running a Buy One Get One Free on all the Wishful products.
So at US$ 195 this is not a discount because its a 38% saving. Were it a 50% saving, I would be yes, buy the products.

Location Two Advent Calendar
In the USA, 2022’s advent calendar is on sale. It was US$ 175 and its now US$105 – and you get free shipping

Originally, you would have got 35% off at US$175. A quick bit of back of the envelop calculation, indicates that US$105, the saving is 60%.
Were it not for the completely redundant eyeshadow palettes, I would say buy it – its a massive saving, BUT a big theme for me NOW is what are you going to do with the products you don’t use?
The answer should not be a landfill…can you gift the products to someone? Think about it.
We only get one world, and one lifetime to do the right thing: let’s not pretend otherwise and I would encourage all of us (including me) to consume more responsibly
