The countdown to Christmas might feel a long way off, but for beauty aficionados the race is already on.
Every year, brands from Boots and John Lewisto M&S and Space NK, release treasure troves of miniature miracles – and this year’s offerings are more generous (and glamorous) than ever.
I’ve sprayed, sniffed, slathered and swatched through the lot.
These are the calendars worth snapping up now, before they go. Space NK’s has already sold out, so don’t wait around…
The best beauty advent calendars to buy this festive season
How I rated (and why you can trust me)
Each calendar was scored on value for money, number of full-sized products, how many of those are genuine beauty heroes (not stock that’s been languishing in a back room), the range across skincare, bath, and body, and – of course – the all-important packaging.
No brands had any oversight of this review, and there was no payment for inclusion.
These are my honest, hands-on impressions – so you can make an informed decision before adding to basket.
