Here are some of my personal top picks:-
NARS Velvet Lip Glide
Available in a variety of shades, this mini NARS Velvet Lip Glide has a gorgeous formula and is one of NARS’ most covetable products. I found the shade ‘Immoral’ in my calendar which is a bright cool-toned fuschia pink – very pretty!
Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater & Pink Peppercorn Hand Therapy
Crabtree & Evelyn are famed for their Hand Therapy hand creams and these are so lovely and moisturising – just perfect for dry Winter hands! The Rosewater & Pink Peppercorn version in the calendar is one that I’ve used and loved before in the past.
Yankee Candle Small Jar Candle
It wouldn’t be a luxury advent calendar without a candle and this one from Yankee Candle is sure to be a crowd pleaser! Available in a variety of scents, I discovered ‘Season Of Peace’ in mine which smells beautiful and very Christmassy.
MDMflow Greater Than Mascara
MDMflow are a seriously underrated makeup brand in my opinion, and their Greater Than Mascara is a must-try. You’ll find a full-size tube in the calendar and I’m sure you’ll love it!
Mitchell & Peach Flora No.1 Fine Radiance Oil
There’s some fantastic skincare included and I was pleased to see Mitchell & Peach Flora No.1 Fine Radiance Oil as it’s such a nice luxury facial oil that’s ideal for the Winter months to help you get your glow and radiance back.
Eyeko Fat Eye Stick – Satin
Eyeko’s Fat Eye Sticks are another popular item and you’ll find the bestselling shade ‘Satin’ in your calendar this year. It’s the perfect colour for sweeping all over the lid and has a touch of shimmer for a pretty party-ready finish.
Elgon Refibra Concentrated Restoring Mask
Haircare fans will enjoy using the Elgon Refibra Concentrated Restoring Mask which is an excellent hair treatment that will transform dry and damaged hair into softer, healthier looking, shinier tresses.
Philip Kingsley Body Building Conditioner
Everyone wants thicker and fuller hair, so be the envy of the party with this innovative formula from Philip Kingsley. The Body Building Conditioner will hydrate, add shine and extra strength and plump up your hair in a matter of minutes.
Lollipops Fluid Glowy Liquid Highlighter
Get instantly glowy skin in seconds by dabbing on some of the Lollipops Fluid Glowy Liquid Highlighter to the high points of the face (above the cheekbones and underneath the brows always looks good!).
Steve Laurant Lip Gloss in Eggplant
I love darker lip shades for Christmas and this lip gloss from Steve Laurant is in the shade Eggplant – a proper vampy colour!
HUDA Beauty Winter Solstice Highlighter Palette
It wouldn’t be a spoilers post without showing you all what’s behind door number 25! On Christmas Day, you’ll have the pleasure of opening up this stunning FULL-SIZE HUDA Beauty Winter Solstice Highlighter Palette – WOW! Featuring four drop-dead gorgeous highlighter shades, this will be a new gem in your makeup collection and it’s worth £40 on its own!
