With summer behind us, there are only two things yet to look forward to - Christmas and (more crucially) beauty advent calendars. From Cult Beauty to Liberty, this year's offerings may just be the best yet. But, if you're looking for a calendar that's slightly more affordable yet still incredibly well-curated, allow us to introduce you to Boots' selection of premium beauty advent calendars.
After hitting the market last year with its first-ever advent calendar offering, this year, the high street hero is taking festivities to the next level by offering not one but three (!) different advent calendar options, each of them brimming with a combination of the latest and greatest beauty launches of the year, plus some old favourites.
The first and most affordable option is the Boots 24 Days of Skincare Advent Calendar, £65. Dedicated to all things skin and designed for skincare addicts, the calendar boasts 24 must-haves, including hero products from the likes of trusted skin experts Bioderma, Cetaphil, Byoma and The Inkey List.
Next up is our personal favourite, the Boots 24 Days of Luxury Beaut Advent Calendar, £99. It includes a carefully crafted selection of premium skincare, haircare and make-up, from top tier brands including Sol De Janeiro, Philip Kingsley and Huda Beauty. The best part? There are 13 full-sized products in this impressive line up.
Finally, the Boots 12 Days of Luxury Beauty Advent Calendar, £99. This one is not to be missed, especially if you're a serious beauty buff who's willing to spent that little bit extra. It features 12 full-size products, ranging from body heroes to a nine-pan eyeshadow palette, all guaranteed to last you well into the next year.
All three calendars are now available to shop on the Boots website, and are expected to sell out fast. So - a word of warning - shop them while you still can.
