Lancome
A beautifully designed pink advent calendar. Priced at $127, it’s on the lower end of the more expensive calendars and does not fail to deliver the goods.
The calendar consists of multiple numbered boxes to open each day, each containing various travel and full-sized products to enjoy, all leading towards the final day when you get to unwrap the golden Eiffel Tower at the centre of the box for the ultimate beauty surprise.
Fortnum and Mason
Fortnum and Mason’s beauty calendar, priced at $442, is one of the more expensive calendars but does not skimp on luxury.
This gorgeous ornate turquoise calendar brings together different brands to offer you the ultimate Christmas beauty experience. With everything from face and hair care to bath scents and body fragrances, this is a truly special gift to give a loved one for the holiday season.
Liberty London
Priced at $485 with an overall product worth of $1923, this high-end beauty calendar is a lesson in true luxury.

With LUSH, what you see is what you get. Their cruelty-free and completely natural products make them a wonderfully reliable source of sustainable beauty products.
