I am really looking forward to December.

Usually I opt for the edible chocolate-behind-tinfoil or sweet picture advent calendars. But, obeying the flow of fashion, I thought this year I’d try one of the many beauty advent calendar offerings that have gradually graced our shops in the past few years.

One advent calendar that caught my eye (while en route to the Percy Pigs) was this one from M&S.

Twenty four miniature beauty products from brands such as Philip Kingsley, Burt’s Bees, Sarah Chapman, Rituals… your beauty needs are bound to be covered!

It’s yours for £35 when you spend £35 or more on clothing, beauty and home; or £250 (!!!) if you choose to buy it without purchasing anything extra from M&S.
