Yes, it's that time already...
It's absolutely roasting outside - last time we checked, it peaked over 30 degrees, and here we are chatting beauty advent calendars. The world is mad, is it not?
But alas, as we know if you want to try and get your hands on one of the beauty industry's most in-demand advent calendars you need to be prepared. To do this you need to know as much information about it as far in advance as possible. Because these advent calendars sell like hot cakes. At lightning speed.
One of the most in-demand beauty calendars every year is the offering from iconic British high street brand, Next. And this year it will not disappoint.
So what do we know so far?
How much is it?
£89
When is it available?
5th September, so very soon. Mark this date in your calendar.
What's the packaging like?
The pastel pink calendar is ultra feminine with hints of fuschia and silver. Each of the treats is found inside a little drawer, rather than behind a window so the entire thing could easily be reused for later years.
Why do we think it's worth it?
Next Beauty stocks a wide variety of brands, which means that the advent calendar gives you a little taste of some of your beauty favourites, as well as a few lesser-known names. Also, you can't go wrong with a calendar that costs under £100, but that's worth well over £300.
Our top picks of the products are the Moroccanoil Original Treatment (nothing will soothe thirsty strands like it), Iconic London Bronze and Smokey Eyeshadow Palette (we're pretty sure these shades will suit all eye colours and skin tones) and the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex (a hardworking cult product for a reason).
