Now that Halloween is out of the way, the countdown to Christmas has officially begun - and what better way to mark the days off, one by one until the big day, than with an advent calendar? Now, don’t get us wrong; we love being able to have chocolate for breakfast without any strange looks or added guilt, but this year we’re looking for a more grown-up type of morning treat to gear us up for the most wonderful time of the year.
For the majority of us over 21, treats don’t get much more luxurious than beauty. Whether it’s a wonderfully rich hand cream, a bold and bright new lipstick or the latest fragrance, beauty products are the ultimate indulgence for several reasons. Firstly, they’re a gorgeous way to practice self care - a necessity for busy, modern lives, and a must during the hectic festive season. Secondly, beauty products are usually priced at the higher end of the spectrum, meaning they’re an extravagance rather than an everyday essential. The prospect of waking up to a beauty product every single day until 25th December is therefore pretty epic, so is it any wonder that beauty advent calendars have soared to the top of women’s wish lists over the past few years? A little bit of pampering when you need it the most, beauty advent calendars are now one of the most popular and requested gifts for women - and for 2019, they’re back and better than ever before.
Though the best beauty advent calendars can often come with a whopping price tag, we’ve got some great news for those looking for a more affordable option that still packs a punch on quality, range and content. One of our favourite gifting destinations at this time of year, Cath Kidston, have released 3 varieties of beauty advent calendar for 2019 and it’s safe to say they’re bloomin’ marvellous - quite literally!
Covered in their signature floral prints and filled with a range of skin and body goodies - from full size scented body lotions and lip balms to sleep masks and mini fragrances - the Cath Kidston advent calendars are some of the best for under £100 we’ve seen so far. Plus, for a limited time only, you can snap them up for less as part of Cath's 3 for 2 on festive favourites promotion. Talk about Christmas coming early!
Take a look at them below…

Christmas Village Advent Calendar

Sorry chocolate calendars, it’s over.
