Best Beauty Advent Calendar in Dubai 2026: Inside the Bloomingdale’s UAE Beauty Calendar

The beauty calendar has become one of the most anticipated buys of the festive season, and Bloomingdale’s UAE has just raised the bar. This year’s edition brings together 12 coveted skincare, makeup, fragrance and lifestyle brands. The contents are worth AED 4,744, and the calendar costs AED 2,199, a saving of AED 2,545.

Skincare

The skincare line-up is a who’s who of luxury, with 111SKIN, La Prairie and Natura Bissé all included. These are names more often found on a wish list than in a gift box, so they make a strong case for the price tag on their own.

Makeup

Makeup lovers have plenty to look forward to. Dolce&Gabbana, Make Up For Ever and MAC Cosmetics are all inside. The highlights are MAC’s MACStack Elevated Mascara and Dolce&Gabbana’s Cherry Glaze Lipstick in Demure Rose, a soft, wearable shade that works from desk to dinner.

Fragrance

Fragrance is where the calendar really shines. There’s a full-sized BDK Parfums Gris Charnel, a cult favourite for its warm, smoky character, and Cherry Amber, the latest launch from Matière Première. Fragrance fans will also find an Amouage travel set featuring Reflection, Guidance and Love Hibiscus.

Home and body

The final treats are for slower moments at home. There’s Diptyque’s iconic Baies candle, Dr. Vranjes’ Ambra diffuser and Rituals’ Ayurveda Dry Body Oil, which is ideal for the cooler months.

The calendar mixes new discoveries with much-loved names, so it works as a generous gift or as a well-earned treat for yourself. Many of us know the feeling of eyeing a calendar for weeks only to find it has sold out, so this one is worth buying early.

The Bloomingdale’s Beauty Calendar is available now at Bloomingdale’s Dubai Mall, Bloomingdale’s Beauty at Reem Mall and online at bloomingdales.ae, while stocks last.
