Yahoo Lifestyle Harvey Nichols' beauty and fragrance advent calendars are such great value for money
Don't miss these luxury 2024 advent calendars, which are bound to sell-out fast.
There's no shortage of choice as far as luxury beauty advent calendars are concerned this year, with iterations from the likes of Harrods, Space NK and Liberty London already proving immensely popular with shoppers, and in some cases, selling out completely (Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar is long gone). But there's one recent drop we think might give the rest a run for their money: Harvey Nichols Beauty Advent Calendar 2024.
Costing £250, but with a contents value of £1,000, it's one of the most impressive product lists we've seen so far this year. Inside is a whopping 42 products from 31 brands behind 25 drawers. Some of the big-name brands you can expect to find include Augustinus Bader, Trinny London, Charlotte Tilbury, Le Labo, La Prairie and more. And did we mention there's 18 full-size items.
If you are a perfume fan, Harvey Nichols has also just launched a Fragrance Advent Calendar, which is worth £730 and packed with 17 coveted scents including Creed, BYREDO, Maison Crivelli, Parfums de Marly, Xerjoff, Frederic Malle.
Shop Harvey Nichols 2024 advent calendars
Inside are 42 products from 31 of the biggest beauty brands typically found in the luxury department store, 18 of which are full-size.
This fragrance calendar is packed with coveted perfumes such as Creed, BYREDO, Maison Crivelli, Parfums de Marly, Xerjoff and Frederic Malle to unbox, as well as a £165 Harvey Nichols gift card in one of every 100 calendars.
There is no denying that Harvey Nichols has aced the advent calendar game this year, with its beauty advent calendar featuring more products than any we've seen so far, making it one of the best value options.
As far as the most expensive picks in this calendar, there's the cult classic, Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream, which retails for £74 for 15ml, and is dubbed a cellular renewal rich cream, that helps to deeply hydrate the skin using natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and peptides in what's called a TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex). The luxury cream is a firm favourite among A-list celebrities and the calendar is a great opportunity to try it without shelling out a huge amount on one moisturiser.
There's also a handbag-friendly sample of the delicious sweet fruit and citrus-scented Xerjoff Erba Pura Eau de Parfum which costs a huge £140 for a 50ml bottle, and £205 for 100ml bottle.
Other standout items we're particularly excited to try include Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution Lipstick (£30), Trinny London's Eye2Eye (£18), 111SKIN's Bio Cellulose Facial Mask (£19) and a Malin+Goetz Mojito Lip Balm (£14).
There's also a full-size Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Blush that shoppers describe as blendable, buildable and perfect for adding little colour all over. We also love that the calendar includes a ton of useful items that will help bring a little luxury to the everyday chaos of Christmas, including the Bamford Geranium Body Lotion, Neom Happiness Scented Candle and Espa Bergamot & Jasmine Bath & Shower Gel.
Better yet, Harvey Nichols has hidden a £250 gift card in a select number of calendars, and according to the retailer, your odds are one in 100 to find a voucher behind drawer number 25 on Christmas Day.
