Every year more and more brands introduce a beauty advent calendar. There is something so exciting about receiving a makeup or body product everyday rather than a small square of chocolate; don’t get me wrong i love a chocolate advent! But i have searched for 6 beauty advents all under £40, now that is a bargain!

1) Tanya Burr – Now on sale for £15 (Was £25)

This is one of the cheapest of the beauty advent calendars, however it only has 12 doors. It is full of her makeup range and includes some beautiful sparkly glitter nail polishes.

2) Sanctuary- £25 (Sold out online but available at Boots stores/online)

 

This is more of a skincare and body care calendar, but it is a great chance to sample a whole range of their products. Their salt scrub is particularly good.

3) Makeup Revolution Now £30 (Was £40, check availabilty in store and online) 

 

A reasonable 25 door calendar with a lot of different makeup products. If you haven’t tried Makeup Revolution I really recommend their eye shadow palettes, one of which is included in this calendar.

4) Benefit £34.50  

Benefit is the original brand of beauty advent calendars. All the products are classic and as you know very decorative. Even though it has a value of £68 filled with 12 doors of mini products, I think there are some calendars with are better value for money

5) M&S- £35 (Available in store and online but sells out quick online)

 

Marks and Spencer is often overlooked when it comes to high street shops but they really do have an amazing beauty section. They have a mixture of luxury sample sized and full sized products in this calendar from a range of amazing brands, it is worth a total of £250. The only slight catch is you do have to spend £35 in store (annoyingly not in the food department but on home, beauty and clothing) before you can buy the calendar. However it is well worth it!

6) N07- £39 (Out of stock online but available in store)

 

I think this may be my favourite calendar as I love No.7 brushes and eyelash curlers which are all included in this. There is also a ton of full sized products in it so you can really justify the money you spend on it. I would honestly use all of these products and I think they’ve done a really good job this year!
