So If you are like me; since the sneak peaks of all of the advent calendars has started coming out. You now cannot wait for christmas to come around. Yes I said it, the ‘C’ word and its still months away. Well the reason I have finally caved and decided to join in on sharing the christmas love already is because Cult Beauty has finally made their FIRST EVER beauty advent calendar. EEEK! I am excited too!
Beauty Advent Calendars
Controversially, I’ve not been a huge fan of a lot of this year’s advent Calendars. Every brand and their cat has an ‘alternative’ advent calendar and beauty brands have certainly picked up where there is some serious money to be snapped up.
I think a lot of brands have stocked their calendars jam packed with miniatures which are quite frankly a bit crap! A lot of the miniatures inside the calendars are things you often get free if you buy that brand a lot, or if you just ask for a sample at your nearest counter. I don’t like to be fobbed off with it is worth over £300! when they’re valuing a (otherwise free sample) at £30. Cult beauty however, I believe have got it right with a good mix of sample size and full size and mostly high-end brands.
What is Inside Cult Beauty’s First Ever Advent Calendar?
This is undoubtedly the most important part. The box itself looks stunning, sturdy and re-usable. But lets take a look at what’s inside.
There are 34 products in total, more than making up for the amount of mini or deluxe sample size products in here. Day 25 boasts 10 gifts and an added extra to put towards the gift that santa forgot. If this wasn’t enough to persuade you…. the gifts inside are worth over £650 and one lucky beauty junkie will find a gift card worth £1000 to spend at cult beauty!!!!
