Hands up if you love the idea of waking up to a brand new beauty treat every morning throughout December?! Beauty Advent Calendars are already flying off the shelves, magical drawers brimming with a treasure trove of festive treats from lipsticks and fragrance to skincare and candles.

Now more elaborate and luxurious than ever, they offer a great (fun!) way to trial some of the finest beauty and skincare heroes around, often valued up to three times their price.

Stay true to your favourite brand with Clarins, Charlotte Tilbury and MAC or embrace variety with a mixture of products in Beauty Advents by John Lewis, ASOS or Space NK (most glamorous selection box ever?!).

I love that the Boots calendar allows us to give a little back this Christmas, donating £2 to Macmillan Cancer Support with every sale. L'Occitane has created both classic and luxury calendars to suit different budgets, while you get a whole lot of beauty for your dollar with High Street favourites like Next, Soap & Glory and NYX.

24 Days of Clean Beauty can be yours with bareMinerals’ seasonal offering and skincare fans will be treated to 24 of Dr Hauschka’s most-loved products, with ingredients harvested from his very own botanical gardens.

The M&S Beauty Advent (£40 with a £25 spend) is one of my favourites - currently sold out online, though I did spot some in Sprucefield, so do keep an eye out in-store!

Pure and utter luxury is also an option, obvs, with particularly gorgeous offerings in stunning presentation boxes from the likes of Dior, Jo Malone and Diptyque. You listening Santa?!

Whether you decide to treat yourself or a loved one to a month of beauty treats, don't hang about as the best ones are snapped up super fast!
