A Beautiful Way to Start Christmas
It’s not long until the official countdown to Christmas begins – have you got your advent calendar at the ready?
This year is the year of the beauty advent calendar. All the big brands are on board, providing a taster of their finest products on the lead up to Christmas. A beauty advent calendar provides the perfect opportunity to test a variety of products you might not normally try without the guilt of going and buying full size products.
So why not ditch the chocolate (or maybe have both?) and fill your make-up bag with some of these great products:
We must have been nice this year because Benefit are giving us a real treat by cramming 12 of their best selling products into one calendar. From BADgal lash to Ultra Plush Sugarbomb Lipgloss, this advent calendar will leave you feeling gorgeous this Christmas. With products worth £79.17 but selling for £34.50 you need to get to your local Debenhams or Benefit store asap while stocks last!
Book of make-up magic – Charlotte Tilbury
If you’re feeling particularly luxurious this Christmas, then this is the calendar for you. Although rather pricey at £150, it does contain a good range of travel sized beauty and skin care products, not forgetting to mention a full sized Charlotte Tilbury lipstick! Similarly to the Benefit countdown, it only goes up to day 12, but this provides the perfect excuse to get your hands on an indulgent chocolate one too!
Cheeky Advent Calendar – Cowshed
You will never have to worry about your nails in 2016 with this calendar. For £49.00, Cowshed provides you with 24 5ml pots of perfect polishes from their Cheeky range. With their quick drying and long lasting formulas these pots will last you all year round.
Yankee Candle Christmas Collection Advent Calendar
Candy Cane Lane, Snowflake Cookie and Winter Glow. I can only be talking about the festive scents from our famous candlestick maker, Yankee. This sweet smelling calendar contains 23 tea light candles and one special surprise on the 24th day. It’s not the standard beauty calendar, but it will leave you feeling relaxed. Currently on sale at Clinton Cards for £18.17 this calendar is not to be missed!
The 12 Days of Christmas – Lush
What better way to relax after a long day of Christmas shopping than with ‘Golden Wonder’, a luxurious bath bomb leaving a golden and turquoise glittering explosion in your bath. This is just one of the 12 fabulous products Lush has picked to make sure this Christmas is a stress free, smooth operation and all for £49.95.
Make sure you get down to the shops to avoid disappointment on these great buys. Let the countdown begin!
