Essence’s Baked With Love Advent Calendar is a very pink way to count down to Christmas. It costs $49.99 and hides 24 beauty surprises behind numbered doors, with icing-style lettering and a heart-shaped cookie on the box.
The packaging looks like it wandered out of a holiday baking session. Even the little lip glosses have joined the pink-and-pastel situation.
What’s inside Essence’s Baked With Love Advent Calendar?
Essence describes a mix of eye, lip, nail and face products, plus beauty tools. The countdown runs from December 1 through December 24.
If you like a few spoilers before committing to a whole calendar, the brand’s ingredient list names these:
- Brown and rose eyeshadow duos
- Cream-to-powder highlighter and dewy blushlighter cream
- Iridescent and pearly Juicy Bomb lip glosses
- Lip mask stick and marbled lip balm
- Pearly rose and pearly white nail polishes
- Heart-shaped eye patches
That is a useful mix to check against what you actually reach for. Someone who loves lip products and soft pink shades has a different shopping list from someone who only wants mascara.
The 24-surprise count includes tools. Take a look at the full contents photo before buying, especially if you’re choosing a gift for someone who mainly wants makeup.
Where to find it for $49.99
Ulta lists the calendar for $49.99 as an online-only item. Its product page says it is not sold in stores, so this is one to order for shipping rather than add to a store-pickup trip.
Dividing the listed price by 24 works out to about $2.08 per door before tax or any shipping. That gives you a simple per-door budget to compare with another calendar, with the included tools counted in the total.
The bright pink box makes the gift feel festive before the first door opens. For more beauty, food and wonderfully odd countdowns, browse our 2026 Advent calendar guide.
