At BestReviews, we’re committed to finding the best products in every category. In the process, we’ve tested hundreds of beauty items from longtime fan favorites to brand-new TikTok-viral launches. As we’re gearing up our lists for the 2024 holiday season, we were excited to see many of our top tried-and-tested beauty brands offering curated Advent calendars that make the perfect holiday gifts. 

One of the best surprises was that Laneige launched its first-ever Advent calendar this year. The TikTok-famous Korean skin care brand is best known for its deeply moisturizing and deliciously scented overnight lip mask, which earned top marks when we reviewed it in the BestReviews Testing Lab.
