Beauty advent calendars are basically the adult version of raiding the cookie jar, but instead of sugar highs, you’re getting mini moisturisers, luxury lipsticks, and serums that cost more than your lunch. Every day in December becomes a tiny beauty surprise party, and yes, we do peek ahead (it’s called research). These calendars are packed with deluxe samples and full-sized gems from top brands, making them perfect for discovering new favourites without committing to a full bottle, or a second mortgage. Just be warned: once you open one, regular calendars will never impress you again.
There are twelve weeks to go until December, but by the time the month comes around, these will all be sold out.
Get prepared…
