If you haven’t yet discovered the excitement of a beauty advent calendar, now is the time to treat yourself (or leave some big hints for significant others to gift you!) So why has the beauty advent calendar become such a cult purchase? There are two reasons why we have fallen in love with these beauty treats; firstly, a beauty surprise from your favourite brand every day in December is worth getting out of a warm bed for. Then, there’s the savings: the best beauty calendars come packed with luxe products, at a fraction of the individual product cost. They really are the best way to discover an empire of new launches and iconic favourites, all without having to invest in the full-size products.
