Calling all thrifty beauty shoppers: beauty advent calendars are hitting the shelves again. If you want to get ahead on your Christmas shopping, then we’d recommend looking for advent calendars now. Some beauty calendars have been known to sell out in a day if not hours (Liberty we’re looking at you).
Whilst some beauty advent calendars can set you back, others can be on the more affordable scale. I’ve done the work for you and sourced the most affordable beauty advent calendars on the market.
There are a comprehensive amount of beauty advent calendars under £65 this year. We all know a good beauty advent calendar can have us counting down the days to Christmas, with a little extra excitement. And at such prices, you can even feel a little smug about your purchase too.
You have the chance to try new products from multi-brand calendars and even delve into some beauty classics with one-brand calendars. Purchasing a beauty advent calendar can also save you money in the long run, with product worth usually being twice as much as the price.
