Growing up, Advent calendars were one of our favourite parts of the holidays. After all, who doesn't love an excuse to eat chocolate every day?

And while we still do love the edible versions, there is one type of Advent calendar that may just trump the ones from our childhood: the beauty Advent calendar.

Featuring miniature-sized versions of best-sellers and new formulas from our favourite brands, these beauty kits are pretty much the grown-up answer to the Advent calendars from our childhood. Not only are they great for treating yourself, but they also make for an excellent gift.

We've rounded up a few of our fave beauty Advent calendars for 2015 in the gallery below. But beware -- with all the goodies they contain, you'll have trouble not opening up all the little doors at once!
