Advent Calendar Wishlist

With the demand for beauty themed calendars growing larger each year, more & more brands are now releasing their own versions onto the market. However whilst having an increased selection is obviously great (Christmas and beauty combined.. What's not to love?!) it does make the whole decision making process a little trickier.

So, if like me you're currently struggling to chose which calender to invest in this year - or if you're looking for ideas ready to treat a loved one - I've put together a wishlist of  advent calendars that I'm currently lusting after.

*warning - some spoilers ahead* 



1. Topshop's "Advent Tree" - £28.00 [x]
If make-up/beauty products aren't your cup of tea, then a great alternative to your typical beauty calendar is Topshop's jewellery "Advent Tree". Offering a collection of earrings, necklaces and bracelets this is perfect for those looking to extend their collection (you can never had enough jewellery, right?)..  Plus the tree design is adorable! 

2. Ciate "Mini Mani Month" - £49.00 [x]
Ciate calendars are a favourite throughout the blogging community - & it's easy to see why! Not only does this calendar offer a mixture of miniature polishes & manicure toppers (plus a surprise full size polish) it's all packaged in a beautifully simple case -  London in the winter? - yes please!

3. Make-up Revolution's "Beauty Chest" - £85.00 (reduced from £100) [x]
Make-up Revolution is one of my favourite budget beauty brands. So it's safe to say I was very excited to discover they're offering an advent calendar this year. Although on the pricier side, with 25 full size products (including nail varnishes, lipsticks & even an eye-shadow pallet) this is the perfect treat for make-up lovers everywhere. 

4. Benefits "Party Poppers" Calendar - £34.50 [x]
"Party Poppers" offers a slightly different take on the usual advent calendar theme.. This calendar includes 12 miniature products for the 12 days of Christmas (or as Benefit puts it; the 12 days of gorgeous). Products include; a They're real! mini mascara, a Rockateur mini bronzer & a Watt's up! mini highlighter. Whilst containing fewer products than most beauty calendars on the market, I still think this is a great buy for the price - especially for those wishing to test out some of Benefit's items without committing the the full product.  

5. The Body Shop's "Beauty Calendar" - £60.00 [x]
Another cult classic within the blogging world has to be the Body Shop's Advent Calender. As a Body Shop lover, I've had my eye in this item for a few years & 2015 is no different. Not only is it cruelty free but it also contains a mixture skin-care, beauty & bath products for the build up to Christmas. In my opinion this is perfect any beauty lover who's also looking for a little variety. 

6. Yankee Candle "Advent Calendar in the Snow" - £27.99 [x]
If you're looking for something a little different to the traditional chocolate calendar - but beauty and/or jewellery isn't your thing - then "Advent Calendar in the Snow" from Yankee Candle is a great alternative. For £27.99 each window houses a Yankee tea light with a special treat on Christmas Eve. Plus this is the perfect way to test out candle scents before picking up a full size. 

I personally adore each of these calendars & think they're the perfect way to celebrate the build up to Christmas.. plus who doesn't love waking up to a little present each morning?!

Which advent calendar have you got your eye on this year?
