Is it worth it?
Last year shoppers had to spend £30 to get the M&S calendar for £40, so it is a little more expensive this year. The overall layout will be £80, for which you get over £300 worth of luxury beauty products, plus the items you spent your £35 on. There’s the added bonus of the container being reusable, though I have been using last year’s cardboard box for some of my beauty bits since December.
Our beauty editor Sarah Bradbury got her hands on the M&S beauty advent calendar for 2023 early, and here's what she thought: "When I tell you how excited and thrilled I was to see a beauty brand think outside the box this year with a sustainable beauty advent calendar concept… Naturally M&S were always going to be the ones to nail it, right? I mean not only is the vegan leather case practical, it’s so big too! I mean I’m either going to keep it for myself or give it to someone in my family this year - filled with some beauty treats.
“For just £40, after spending £35 in store and online, I can put my hand on my heart and say that the beauty advent calendar is really worth it. Aside from the vanity case, it has some big name brands included like PIXI, Benefit, Murad, This Works, NUXE and REN to name a few - plus the L’Occitane, Shay & Blue and Philip Kingsley.
“You’ll literally find everything you need, to keep you looking your best - from head to toe! We’re talking hair masks, shampoo and conditioner, mascara, lipstick, hand creams, facial moisturisers and face masks galore!"
