As a beauty-obsessed shopping editor, beauty advent calendars are something I look forward to every. Single. Year. We may be well into December now, but it’s not too late to take advantage of the brilliant beauty products they have to offer. And better yet - many of the beauty advent calendars that are still in stock are currently on sale. Bonus.
The Marie Claire UK beauty team have rounded up the best beauty advent calendars - from our top affordable picks under £100 to the most luxurious options, you could say we’re fans. But as a shopping editor, it’s the beauty advent calendars that offer the best value for money that really pique my interest.
It's no secret that beauty advent calendars allow buyers to access beauty products at a massively discounted rate (sometimes even shaving over £1,000 off the contents original value).
Now that we’re halfway through December, retailers have discounted their beauty advent calendars even further. It's the perfect time to buy one for next year at a ridiculously low price - or to get your hands on some incredible products for very little money.
I've rounded up the best beauty advent calendars on sale now.
