Beauty advent calendars have exploded in popularity over the past couple of years, with every brand releasing their own countdown to Christmas for those who’ve moved on from chocolate-filled ones. We’ve sorted through the options out there and compiled a list of our 2018 favourites based on who’s on your gift list.
The Self-Care Enthusiast
These are for the person who are way more about JOMO than FOMO and would rather make a date with a bath bomb than a human. All that’s missing from these collections are a fully drawn bath and a warm cup of steeped tea.
This set from L’Occitane allows you to try pretty much everything. (OMG the Almond Shower Oil is EVERYTHING.) The brand also released a smaller version for $59.
