Is it worth it?
Beauty editor Sarah Bradbury got a first look inside the Boots Premium advent calendar before it launched and said: "Having seen and touched a few of the beauty advent calendar offerings this year, I have to say that this one from Boots could really rival that from LookFantastic, Cult Beauty and even Sephora. Priced at just £99, but containing over £450 worth of skincare, haircare and body care - it literally contains everything to see you through the party season - minus any awful eyeshadow palettes with outrageous colours.
“For £99, I would say that this calendar is perfect for the person who’s really into their skincare, makeup and beauty products - but doesn’t really know where to start, as it gives them a real taste as to what Boots has to offer - on big name brands, and ones that they might have not yet have heard of.”
