By my count, there are 13 skin and body care products, four hair care products, seven cosmetics and two fragrance items, which makes for a pretty great mix of pamper products.

It’s a warm hug in fragrance form, and I’m so thrilled to see it behind seven of the doors in this calendar.

The LookFantastic Advent Calendar provides everything you need for your pamper routine throughout December and beyond, offering high end, luxury brands you may not otherwise have afforded or treated yourself to. Filled with 28 beauty products and three dual doors from best-selling beauty brands, Glossybox’s advent calendar was a real treat to unbox. Including brands like Glossier, Milk Makeup, 111Skin and Refy, it was brimming with 14 full size and 14 deluxe minis that would see me through the New Year and beyond. Even though advertised as including haircare I wasn't expecting quite so many products to be included, and as far as beauty advent calendars go there's a lot to leave your hair feeling like you've just stepped out of the salon.The product range is really impressive and it offers just the right amount of well known brands and not so well known brands to help shoppers try out something new. It's exciting, luxurious, and a great way to treat yourself on the lead up to Christmas.” River Island

When Christmas day is over, all the pigs in blankets are eaten, and the recycling bin is full of wrapping paper and cardboard - what’s there left to do with your ‘Twixmas’? The limbo between Boxing Day and New Year is where you essentially slip into a food-induced trance, find space for all of your new gifts and work out what from your wardrobe and cupboards can go to the charity shop in January. The fact that two of the product total more than the price you pay for the box, it’s pretty good going, and if you happen to come across a product you’re unlikely to use, you can pop it in with someone’s Christmas present to save yourself a bit of cash and spread the festive cheer. LookFantastic’s advent calendar has become a firm favourite among shoppers over the last couple of years, completely selling out in 2021. And with a value of more than five times the retail price, it’s easy to see why.
