I have to admit, that I’ve never had a posh advent beauty calendar, and every year more and more brands are coming out with their version. And since this December will be absolutely mental for me, I’ve decided to browse them, and maybe get one to cheer myself up.
And, yes, all the good ones sell out in a matter of days, so you have to get them as soon as they launch, which is usually October. Let’s take a look.
The One
This is the one for me. I am not sure I could love/want this more. Out of all luxury advent calendars, this stands out the most to me. It contains so many brands that I already love, as well as the ones I still want to try. Gimme.

One Brand Miracle
To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of the one brand advents because I love the idea of trying different things. However, I would not be mad receiving one of these mono brands gems, with Jo Loves being on top of the list.
Jo Malone London £300, at Harrods from October. This one does not need an introduction.
Jo Loves, £250, from November. I am a huge fan of Jo Loves, and would love this calendar.
Diptyque Advent Calendar, £320, exclusively from Selfridges from October. This one sells out quickly.
Clarins for her and him, each is £60. I am a huge fan of Clarins, and I would get these in a blink of an eye.
I am also a big fan of Cowshed, and love all their Christmas sets, and the advent calendar, too. Get if from John Lewis for £90.
The ones I’ve mentioned are just a few of the options out there. This year we are truly spoiled for choices, and there are variants for all budgets, and all tastes. Either from your favourite brand, shop or even magazine. Basically you name it, they’ve got it.
