The Best Beauty Advent Calendars
Advertisement
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… a calendar packed with beauty goodies…
Beauty advent calendars are hot news right now, so there are plenty to choose from. Most of our top picks just cover the twelve days running up to Christmas Day, so if you’re reading this mid-month, it’s not too late to treat a friend (or yourself)…
The best for make-up lovers
Benefit’s The More the Merrier, 12 Merry Days of Makeup Calendar, £58.50 from Boots Benefit’s calendar is without a doubt one of the prettiest on the market, and highlights some of the brand’s hero products. There are four mascaras, an eyeliner and two face primers, along with an eye pencil, bronzer and other goodies.
The best for men
24 Grooming Essentials in Support of Macmillan Calendar, £85 from Boots My partner is seriously impressed with this calendar. There’s a good range of products from some of Boots’ most popular brands. Behind those little blue and black doors, you’ll find everything from a No.7 Men’s Protect & Perfect Intense Serum to Ted Baker body washes. Most toiletries are a generous 50ml. There’s also a pair of nail scissors, as well as tweezers and other essentials. Plus, £2 from every calendar will be donated to Macmillan to help support people with cancer.
The best for blowing the budget
Bobbi Brown’s 12 Day Advent Calendar, £125 from www.bobbibrown.co.uk While the price is rather eye-watering, Bobbi Brown’s first ever advent calendar is actually pretty good value for money. If you bought the products separately, they’d cost you an extra £100. The luxe-looking box reveals an array of Bobbi Brown’s bestsellers, including the ever-in-demand Shimmer Brick in Bronze, the Extra Lip Tint in Bare Pink, the Vitamin Enriched Face Base and the Smokey Eye Mascara.
The best if you love a bargain
Dove Gently Nourishing Calendar, £20 from Amazon Proving that you don’t need to splash out to make someone’s day, Dove’s new calendar includes two full-sized Dove products, plus four miniatures and six other gifts. The focus is on spa-worthy pampering, so you’ll find goodies such as Dove’s Relaxing Body Wash and Essential Nourishment Hand Cream, alongside cleansing pads, a multi-charge cable and hair bobbles.
The best for tweens
Disney’s Minnie Mouse 12 Days of Bath & Body, £20 from Superdrug Tween beauty queens and Disney fans alike will love this cute advent calendar. It’s full of pampering treats, including bath salts, a lip balm, body wash, body lotion and hand cream. (Plus, it’s better for their teeth than the traditional chocolate-filled calendars...)
The best for personalising
Can’t find anything that’s quite right? Why not create your own calendar? Individually wrap and number small gifts and pop them in a gift box or cotton shopping bag. Head to the travel toiletries aisle for gifts or look for bargain gift sets to split. You could also add non-beauty gifts, like a mini scented candle, chocolates and stationery.also add non-beauty gifts, like a mini scented candle, chocolates and stationery.
