Take a sneak peek at this year's calendars from The Body Shop, Lookfantastic, Glossybox and more
It’s September, meaning that soon enough it’ll be time to crack open our beauty advent calendars. And, trust us, this year’s are already looking B-E-A-Utiful.
In our opinion, getting make-up, skincare or even a scented candle every day of December is a better way to bring festive cheer than chocolate. (Not that we don’t love chocolate too, of course. We do.)
But the sad truth is that these beauties sell out faster than the blink of an eye. That’s why we’ve rounded the best beauty advent calendars 2020 has to offer – and their waiting lists and launch dates – so you don’t miss out on that coveted Lookfantastic or MAC Advent Calendar.
Keep reading for everything you need to know to choose the right 2020 beauty advent calendar, starting with a handy list of some of our favourite buys to look out for.
