Trust Me, You Won’t Regret This French Advent Calendar Worth $1792 That Doubles as Jewelry Storage
‘Tis the season for discounted beauty bundles housed in festive, limited-edition packaging—otherwise known as advent calendars. Because you know what’s even better than one gift? Twenty-five, duh. Consider beauty advent calendars a cheat code for snagging your favorite formulas at a major discount and finally getting your hands on products you’ve been itching to try in one fell swoop.
Beauty editors are not immune to these tantalizing deals, and I, for one, have been thoroughly enjoying a special French set that features skin, hair, and makeup staples. (Pro tip: If you’re only going to purchase one beauty advent calendar this year, snag one with products spanning multiple categories.) The best part? It’ll save you a whopping $932 while making you feel like the fanciest Parisian lady alive. Keep scrolling for all the insider details on Sisley Paris’s Advent Calendar, a truly stunning assortment that’s bound to sell out by Thanksgiving.

About the Sisley Paris Advent Calendar
This year, Sisley Paris collaborated with British artist and designer Luke Edward Hall for its highly anticipated advent calendar. He decided to commit to a theater-inspired theme, complete with vertical red stripes akin to a circus tent. It’s a decidedly festive design—there’s a Christmas tree smack-dab in the center of its doors—but striped patterns are having a major moment this season, so rest assured the packaging will look right at home on your vanity beyond December. It’s a good thing considering the calendar is designed to be reused; simply turn around each compartment to hide the numbers featured on them, and you’ll have upcycled the calendar into a chic storage box—perfect for tucking away jewelry, accessories, or other treasured keepsakes.
Its versatility is certainly a bonus, but the main draw of this advent calendar is, of course, the goods inside. Like all advent calendars, you’ll score 25 favorites across Sisley’s skincare, makeup, and haircare categories for a one-time purchase of $860. That’s no chump change, but when you do the math, each product shakes out to around $34. For a luxury brand that features products upward of $400 (like, ahem, my all-time favorite eye cream) the advent calendar’s price tag seems like a sound investment. In fact, the set has a value of $1792, so you’ll technically save $932 with this limited-edition bundle. It’s very, very rare to score a discount this large on a high-end brand, so I wouldn’t wait. (PSA: It already sold out on Sisley’s website, but you can still snag it at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus!)

I highly suggest digging into all 25 products, but I do have to call out a few tried-and-true favorites: the Phyto-Lip Balm ($70), an ultra-hydrating balm with a soft, sheer-pink pigment; a full-size Regenerating Hair Care Mask ($125), a whip-thick concoction that resuscitates dry, damaged strands; a full-size Phyto-Noir Mascara ($85), which has an impressive lash-lifting abilities, no curler necessary; the Floral Toning Lotion ($135), which removes lingering traces of makeup and softens the skin before subsequent serums; and the Precious Hair Care Oil ($130), which I practically douse my lengths in before bed as a shine-inducing overnight treatment.
Those five products alone normally cost $545, so copping 20 more for $315 more really does feel like stealing, wouldn’t you say? Find more of my personal standouts below, and be sure to grab the full collection while you still can; again, I don’t expect it to be available for long!

Sisley Paris
Refillable Phyto-Lip Balm
This balm truly melts onto lips and deposits the prettiest petal-pink pigment. It’s been a longtime staple in my work bag, and I’m officially due for a refill.
Sisley Paris
Hair Rituel Regenerating Hair Care Mask
Hair health is priority number one this winter after months of subjecting my poor strands to an exorbitant amount of saltwater and sun, and this nourishing mask brimming with shea, macadamia, camellia, and hazelnut oils is practically screaming my name. It helps that Sisley’s Hair Rituel products smell so incredible they could double as perfume.
Sisley Paris
Mascara Phyto-Noir
This clump-free, inky-black formula adds the perfect amount of oomph with a single coat. Bonus points for the hourglass-shaped wand, which helps deposit pigment from root to tip and simultaneously lifts the delicate lash hairs.
Sisley Paris
Floral Toning Lotion
I can’t help but feel fancy every time I use this toner. I’ll swipe it on in the morning post-cleanse to soften my skin before applying serums and creams, and again at night to dissolve stubborn makeup. Another perk? It’s gentle enough to use near my sensitive eye area.
Sisley Paris
Hair Rituel Precious Hair Care Oil
With a blend of passion fruit, shea, cotton, and moringa oils, this lightweight concoction feeds your strands essential nutrients while depositing the healthiest-looking shine. I use it on both damp and dry hair, and my tresses absolutely drink it up every time.
Sisley Paris
Black Rose Cream Mask
Dull, tired skin, meet Sisley’s Black Rose Mask. Just 10 to 15 minutes with this skin-softening magic will leave you with a noticeably brighter, more hydrated complexion.
Sisley Paris
Sisleya L’integral Anti-Age Concentrated Firming Body Cream
A body cream tagged at $465 may make you raise a brow, but this high-tech firming formula is truly worth the spendy price tag. Upon application, it creates an “elastic mesh” on the surface of the skin for an immediate lifting effect, sans greasy residue.
Sisley Paris
Lyslait Cleansing Milk With White Lily
I personally can’t own enough milky cleansers, especially during the winter when any other face wash makes my skin feel bone dry. Lyslait somehow makes my skin feel softer than ever before, infusing it with a nourishing blend of white lily, vitamin E, and linden waters.
Sisley Paris
Eau Du Soir Eau De Parfum – Luke Edward Hall Limited Edition
This holiday season, Hall also created an illustration for Sisley’s limited-edition Eau du Soir perfume. The scene depicts an elegant women overlooking the Eiffel Tower at dusk, which, according to Hall, was inspired by “Madame d’Ornano’s own apartment and her iconic window.” Name something chicer; I dare you.
Sisley Paris
Sisleÿa L’intégral Anti-Age Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate Serum
As you can likely tell, the Sisleÿa range has some of the highest price tags, so the fact that you can score four products in the calendar sounds like a very solid investment. Not to be missed is this line-smoothing serum powered by research-backed botanicals known for their plumping, relaxing effects.
