If you consider yourself somewhat of a beauty buff, Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
Our favourite brands launch limited edition Christmas collections, there are copious holiday parties to try out new makeup looks and, most importantly, there are the advent calendars.
Typically coming in 12 or 24 day assortments, they make the countdown to Christmas all the more exciting. Not to mention they’re filled with best-selling products and cult-favourites usually totally far more in worth than what you spent on the calendar.
We’ve rounded up the best and most luxurious beauty advent calendars available this year, but be warned they’ll be snapped up fast.
