There are no end of incredible beauty advent calendars on offer this year and we’re adding another we can’t wait to get our hands on to the list. John Lewis has revealed its 2021 beauty advent calendar and it’s looking real good.
Priced at £159 but worth a staggering £600, it’s chockablock full of incredible makeup, skincare, aromatherapy products and haircare. With 26 products - 12 full-sized - including two beauty treats for Christmas day, there are so many cult products and new releases we’re excited to try.
Highlights include Augustinus Bader’s legendary The Rich Cream, Clinique’s Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, This Works’ Deep Sleep Pillow Spray, Hourglass’ Caution Extreme Lash Mascara and Charlotte Tilbury’s The Queen Of Glow Luxury Palette. Other brands behind the doors include Kate Somerville, Elemis, Neom, Aromatherapy Associates, Sunday Riley and Estee Lauder.
Speaking of the release, John Lewis’ Beauty Buyer, Chelsey Bell says: “I just cannot think of a better gift. How exciting to receive a beauty treat every day from some of our most iconic beauty brands. It’s the perfect way to try a different brand, test out some of the newest product launches from this year and discover a new routine for 2022. And when you're finished, the box can be recycled. Simply reverse the drawers to create a pretty jewellery or keepsake box."
With sustainability firmly in mind as well as recycling the box, you can also take your empty products into a John Lewis store as part of their BeautyCycle service and receive £5 off your next beauty purchase for doing so. To do this, customers need to be a My John Lewis member; you can sign up here.
