Yahoo Lifestyle Hurry, John Lewis's Beauty Advent Calendar is back and shoppers say it's the 'bargain of the year'
It comes with 32 individual beauty products, an impressive 20 of which are full-size.
Want to know what the most coveted beauty advent calendar this year is? It would have to be John Lewis's, which sold out within days of launching earlier this month and has just come back in stock (although we're sure it won't be for long).
A repeat purchase for many, this year's John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar is unlike any previous iteration, with the retailer's biggest product selection to date, 20 full-size items, and appearances from a huge variety of big-name brands including Elemis, Neom, Kate Somerville, Nars, Votary, Ghost and more.
As for the advent calendar's overall worth, the grand total is a huge £933.13. Available to buy for £195, this is one of the best value beauty advent calendars we've seen so far this year (a close second to Harrods unbelievable offering worth £1,599 and on sale for just £250). It's unsurprising that shoppers are saying it's the "bargain of the year" and that "you will not be disappointed".
Unwrap 32 full and deluxe-size beauty products from Charlotte Tilbury, Sol De Janeiro, Parfums de Marly, and more in the lead-up to Christmas.
This skincare set features six full-size items and five miniatures, from big-name brands such as Liz Earle, Elemis, Dermalogica, Charlotte Tilbury and Kate Somerville.
If we had to choose what items we're most excited to try in this epic line-up of beauty and skincare must-haves, we would have to start with Murad's Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum. Worth £89, it works to help prevent and reduce the look of wrinkles all around the eyes using a blend of three strong-yet-gentle retinols. In other words, say goodbye to under-eye puffiness.
Another big hitter we're eager to give a go is Dermalogica's AGE Smart Biolumin-C Serum. If you would to buy this serum separately, it would set you back a huge £96 for a 30ml bottle, making it the most expensive pick in the selection, and almost half the cost of this entire advent calendar. As a high-performance Vitamin C serum, it helps to deliver brighter, firmer, more radiant skin.
There's also a deluxe-size sample of Kate Somerville's Goat Milk Moisturising Cleanser, the perfect everyday gentle face wash that's formulated to cleanse and soothe the skin without causing tightness or irritation, great for taking while on-the-go or travelling.
As for fragrance, there's three handbag-ready samples from the likes of Parfums de Marly, Ghost, and Floral Street. And in terms of make-up, you can choose between trialling Laura Mercier's Caviar Stick Eyeshadow for a creamy, blendable and longer-lasting formula, Rodial's Glass Primer for the perfect, hydrating face base, or NARS’ iconic, and super pigmented Blush (and more).
And if that wasn't at all enough, for 10 lucky customers, there's a £500 gift voucher to spend at John Lewis hiding behind door 25.
