With Ramadan just around the corner, the traditional countdown is getting a high-gloss upgrade. This year’s beauty calendars are less about “more” and more about the ritual – offering a daily moment of mindfulness amidst the late nights and early starts.
It’s a 30-day roadmap of the essentials: think oud-rich scents practically made for suhoor, moisture-first products to safeguard your skin while you fast, and the high-impact pigments needed for every iftar in your diary. From regional favourites to global icons, this is GRAZIA’s edit of the most covetable Ramadan beauty calendars to shop right now.
BLOOMINGDALE’S
If you’re looking for the gold standard of countdowns, this is it. Bloomingdale’s has curated a masterclass in seasonal indulgence, balancing high-performance science with evocative, Suhoor-ready scents. Inside, you’ll find the heavy hitters (think Augustinus Bader and Dr. Barbara Sturm) to keep your skin resilient, alongside NARS and Gucci for effortless Iftar glamour. The real magic, however, lies in the fragrance: with INITIO and Ojar tucked inside, your scent game will be as radiant as your skin. Not forgetting the scents for your home, of course, as this comes complete with a gorgeous Elie Saab candle and Lorenzo Villoresi Firenze diffuser. It’s safe to say this ticks all the Ramadan beauty boxes, and then some.
GUERLAIN
If you’re going to do a countdown, do it in Guerlain. For their first-ever Ramadan calendar, the French house has pulled out all the stops with a plum-and-gold “Calendar of Treasures.” It’s a collector’s dream that feels more like an heirloom than a gift set. The real draw here? The fragrance. You’re getting nine vials from the ultra-exclusive L’Art & La Matière line – including the viral Cherry Oud and the skin-scent perfection of Musc Outreblanc. It’s not just about the vanity, though; the inclusion of Orchidée Impériale skincare ensures your skin stays sublime, while the artisanal candles and ceramic diffusers bring that signature Guerlain elegance into your home for the holy month.
L’OCCITANE
It’s back and, dare we say, better than ever. L’Occitane’s 30-day countdown is a sensory journey through the hills of Provence, reimagined for the holy month. Each drawer acts as a daily invitation to pause, offering a hand-picked selection of the brand’s most-loved icons. Expect the all-stars: the Overnight Reset Serum to revive fasting skin, the cult-status Almond Shower Oil for a spa-like Iftar wind-down, and a suite of hand creams – including Shea Butter and White Lavender – to keep you nourished on the go. With mini scents and a Relaxing Pillow Mist to settle the senses before Suhoor, this is the ultimate toolkit for head-to-toe “me time.”
