I tested Space NK’s 12 days of luxury advent calendar to see if it’s truly worth it

It’s worth £1,500, but it’s one of the most expensive beauty advent calendars - (Alice Reynolds/The Independent)

Seeing double? You’re not going crazy, Space NK has already released a 25-day beauty advent calendar (which we think ranks high among the other best calendars this year) but the retailer has a second that is for the luxury lovers among us. The original isn’t short on luxe names like Augustinus Bader, La Mer and Lisa Eldridge, but for high-end beauty devotees, the Space NK 12 days of luxury might be where your attention rests.

The luxury calendar features brands like Sisley-Paris, Armani, YSL Beauty and Westman Atelier and is worth £1,500, despite only consisting of 12 days. In comparison the main countdown is 25 days and has a value of more than £1,200 – so the high value skincare, make-up and bodycare is really packed into the luxe version. Indeed, inside the luxury calendar there are 24 products, so you can expect two items behind each door. That being said, at a substantial £410, the price is proving controversial.
