Why is it that the kids to get to have all the fun when it comes to Christmas? Not on my watch! I am slaving my guts out making sure the children have the best time ever, so the least that I expect is a little Advent fun.
That's right - I am talking Beauty Advent Calendars. They are BIG business now and it's because what could be better than a beautifying surprise for 24 days straight?
Some are extortionate, whilst others are modestly priced for what's inside. See our list of the 10 Best Beauty Advent Calendar.
1. Jo Malone
Owned by Estee Lauder - Jo Malone create the creme-de-la-creme of Advent Calendars year after year. You best start saving in January though, as this baby will set you back a whopping £260. In it's defence, the contents will keep you going well into the new year.
Available from 24th October
2. Feel Unique
The online Beauty Retailer sold out in record time, with their cracking '12 Days of Beauty' last year, and we fully anticipate the same this year. It contains a mixture of products from popular brands such as Rimmel and Nuxe. It's heaps cheaper than most other Beauty Advents at just £30.
