The most wonderful time of the year in the beauty world, Christmas advent calendars are now dropping daily. Following suit from Liberty, LOOKFANTASTIC and Harrods, Boots is the latest to unveil its line-up for 2024.
This year, the high street stalwart has launched not one, but three beauty advent calendars. If you’re a skincare buff, there’s a 24 day offering featuring brands like Byoma, The Inkey List, Bubble, Cetaphil and Weleda, treating you right up to Christmas Eve.
For make-up lovers, the 12 day premium calender includes both cult skincare buys (think Liz Earle’s hot cloth and cleanser) and cosmetics treats from Too Faced, Bobbi Brown and Huda Beauty.
Packing in skincare and make-up, the flagship 24-day calendar is a crowd-pleasing mix of Drunk Elephant and Fenty, as well as No7 and Sol De Janeiro. Better yet, it costs less than £100.
If you’re tempted, here’s everything you need to know about the Boots beauty advent calendars for 2024, from the full line-up to price.
