Beauty advent calendars we're *beyond* excited about this year
Well HELLO, Jo Malone
The weather might be glorious for now but, let’s be honest, British summertime will be over in five minutes and it’ll soon be time to crack open your beauty advent calendars. In the immortal words of Bruce Almighty, the 2019 offerings are already looking B-E-A-Utiful.
In our opinion, getting a make-up, skincare or even scented candle treat every day of December is a far better way to get in the festive spirit than chocolate. (Not that we don’t love chocolate too, obvs.)
But the sad truth about these boujie beauty buys is that they sell out faster than the blink of an eye. That’s why we’ve rounded up your first look at the 2019 beauty advent calendars and their respective waiting list and launch date details, so you can ensure you get your hands on that coveted Liberty or Jo Malone calendar. Ready? Let’s go.
The Body Shop Advent Calendars
This year The Body Shop is releasing not one, not two, but THREE different advent calendars for all you beauty addicts to choose from. The original calendar contains 24 of their hero bath and body products, while the Deluxe and Ultimate also contain treats from the Drops of Youth and Oils of Life ranges with behind-the-door messages that celebrate the achievements of brilliant women who made history. Plus, when you buy you’ll be helping The Body Shop raise £250,000 for children’s charity Plan International, which will go towards training and skills for 1,500 girls in Brazil and Indonesia. Pretty great stuff, no?
