Let me kick this off by explaining my relationship with beauty advent calendars. I've been writing about them for a really, really long time. Every year, around August time, the emails start hitting my inbox and I can feel my enthusiasm wane ever so slightly. Not because these festive offerings aren't incredibly beautiful – I can completely understand their appeal, so much better than chocolates – it's just that each year I really have to dig deep to get enthused because I've seen so many in my time.
However, this year was different. As soon as I saw Space NK's 2024 beauty advent calendar, I knew that I wanted it. Which, let me tell you, is rare. I don't ever take the calendars home for myself, preferring to gift them to friends and family instead. However, the list of contents of Space NK's 2024 calendar reads like my beauty shopping list—this one is all mine.
