BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDARS LAUNCHING IN THE UK {OCTOBER 2018}

The second post in my series on the Beauty Advent Calendars being 

launched in the UK includes several from my personal favourite beauty houses.

October will also see many of the calendars going on sale either in store or online.

As always many do sell out fairly quickly, especially those that are limited

in quantity.


To read which Beauty Advent Calendars were launched during August & September

MOLTON BROWN OPULENT INFUSIONS ADVENT CALENDAR

It just wouldn't be Christmas in the stores without the advent calendar

from Molton Brown making an appearance.

An annual hit, it always contains a great selection of their

wonderful bath and body products, in fact you receive 24 gifts and do I spot 

a candle in this pic?

SUSANNE KAUFMANN ADVENT CALENDAR

This 24 day Advent Calendar doesn't look the most festive from

the organic natural skincare brand Susanne Kaufmann, but it excites me.

Having tried one of her face masks earlier this year

I would love to get my hands on one of these, as they say it

will contain bath oils, body products, salts and even festive teas.

Net-a-Porter)

BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDARS LAUNCHING IN THE UK {AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 2018}

It's my favourite time of the year, as I love doing research for my, now annual,

 series of posts on what Beauty Advent Calendars will be on offer 

for 2018.

Each year seems to bring an even bigger and better selection than the year before

and some of the cosmetic houses are launching as early as the end of August

which is fast approaching.

Alas we get very few of these exciting advent calendars here in South Africa,

but I just love compiling these posts and it could be handy if you are planning

 a trip to the UK over the next 3 months or so.

I also have many readers of my blog in the UK, so hopefully you'll find

my upcoming posts helpful. 

I will be writing a blogpost each month letting you know what to expect 

the following month from just a few of the cosmetic houses .

To get the Beauty Advent Calendar ball rolling, here's what you can

expect to see hitting the stores at the end of 

August and September 2018

L'OCCITANE BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDARS

As always L'Occitane offer a choice of two advent calendars,

 a Classic (above) and a Luxury.

Despite loving this Provencal brand their Advent Calendar contents

are often very predictable and there has been criticism that the assortment

 contained too many hand creams, despite L'Occitane undoubtedly

being the Hand Cream experts.

 Hopefully this year they've stepped their content game up a little.

(L'Occitane normally have both of their Advent Calendars

available in South Africa)

Price

£49/£89

Available

SOAP AND GLORY ADVENT CALENDAR

contains 24 mini products including many of their tried and 

trusted classics.

LIZ EARLE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

Beauty Advent Calendars are a great way to experience the best sellers

of what a brand has to offer.

This 12 day selection from the well respected skincare guru Liz Earle

 would be perfect for me, as I've sadly never tried any of her products.

DECLÉOR COUNTDOWN ADVENT CALENDAR

If you are serious about skincare then this beauty calendar filled with 24

 miniature products from the French brand Decléor is for you.

of their iconic best sellers.
