Take a sneak peek at this year’s calendars from Lush, ELEMIS, L’Occitane and more
It might be peak Great British summer now, but soon it’ll be time to crack open your beauty advent calendars – and the 2020 offerings are already looking B-E-A-Utiful.
In our opinion, getting a make-up, skincare or even scented candle treat every day of December is a far better way to get in the festive spirit than chocolate. (Not that we don’t love chocolate too, obvs.)
But the sad truth is that beauty advent calendars sell out faster than the blink of an eye. That’s why we’ve rounded up your first look at the 2020 beauty advent calendars and their respective waiting list and launch date details, so you don’t miss out on that coveted Liberty or Jo Malone London calendar.
Keep reading for all the details about this year’s beauty advent offerings.
