As we step into the festive season, it’s that time of year when advent calendars aren’t just for kids—beauty lovers get their own magical countdown too. This year, Space NK has truly outdone itself with its Beauty Advent Calendar.

Priced at £250, this calendar is a luxurious treasure trove of beauty, skincare, and haircare delights, boasting a total of 35 products, with an impressive 23 being full-sized.Trust me when I say, it’s a beauty lover’s dream.

Since trying it for myself I can it's one of the best out there in terms of high-end brands, generous product sizes, and overall value. Especially considering you're getting £1,200 worth of products.

Let’s start with the packaging because it’s as much of a showstopper as the products inside. A bright, joyful mix of pink, green, and orange covers the sturdy box, adorned with playful festive bows and shimmering stars, setting the scene for a truly magical holiday gifting experience.

It looks so good that I almost felt guilty pulling apart the beautifully designed drawers to get to the goodies inside. One of the first items I couldn’t wait to try was Augustinus Bader’s The Serum (15ml).

If you haven’t heard of this skincare powerhouse yet, now’s the time. Known for its cutting-edge technology and scientific approach to skincare, this serum is like a secret weapon for glowing, youthful skin.

It's lightweight but potent, and I felt an instant surge of hydration the moment I applied it. Over the following days, my skin looked noticeably plumper and firmer. There's a reason Augustinus Bader has become a cult favourite among skincare fans.

Next up is the Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense (30ml), which is all about serious hydration. Winter can wreak havoc on the skin, leaving it feeling dry and dull, but this product has come to my rescue.

Packed with multi-weight hyaluronic acid and B5, it feels like a glass of water for your face. After just one use, my skin felt incredibly soft and supple, and it stayed that way throughout the day without feeling greasy. This is going to be a staple in my winter skincare routine, no doubt.

For makeup lovers, Charlotte Tilbury’s Colour Chameleon in Pillow Talk (1.6g) was an absolute delight to find. This creamy eyeshadow pencil in the brand’s iconic 'Pillow Talk' shade is perfect for creating a soft, smoky eye in seconds.

I love how easy it is to blend out, giving you that sultry yet sophisticated look with minimal effort. It’s ideal for the festive party season when you want to look glamorous without spending ages in front of the mirror.

While I’ve only highlighted a few of my favourite picks, the Space NK advent calendar is packed with incredible brands, from Sunday Riley to Summer Fridays. The fact that 23 of the 35 items are full-sized is almost unheard of with beauty advent calendars, and it truly sets this one apart.

Whether you’re treating yourself or a beauty-loving friend, this calendar is worth every penny. And with pre-orders available now for dispatch starting on October 11th, it’s bound to sell out quickly, so don’t miss your chance to snag one.

If you're looking for alternative options, Glossybox's 2024 Advent Calendar (£85) is another stellar choice. Offering more than £585 worth of products, including a mix of makeup and skincare.

Alternatively, the ASOS Face + Body 25 Day Advent Calendar is also a great pick, featuring a well-curated mix of skincare and beauty products with a 76% saving. But honestly, if luxury, high-end brands, and full-sized products are what you’re after, Space NK’s advent calendar is the one to beat this year. Treat yourself - you deserve it.
