Beauty advent calendars: 10 of the best

I understand the allure of discovering a potentially gamechanging beauty product. Especially when it happens daily. Hence, beauty advent calendars are so fun. The gift that keeps on giving and all that. But they can be super expensive and, right now, splurging does feel overindulgent. Thankfully, I’m noticing a wider breadth of options and price points. And if you do the maths, you’ll find that buying an advent calendar is much more economically efficient than buying the products individually (for instance, Cult Beauty’s retails at £225 but is actually worth more than £1,000). So the calendars here have been chosen with all the above in mind. They offer great products and brands (the Body Shop doesn’t get enough of a shout-out – I am yet to find a body butter that beats theirs), they are all cleverly curated, and this is a once-in-a-year opportunity to get beauty products at a fraction of the price, without compromising on quality. What’s not to like?
