Beauty Advent Calendar by Hannah Martin in association with OK! Beauty Box, £99

Beauty editor Laura Mulley says, “Celebrity makeup artist Hannah Martin’s second OK! Beauty Box Advent Calendar is even bigger and better. It’s filled with her favourite brands such as Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier and Eve Lom, and I’m impressed that 19 of the 30 treats inside are full size. You also get access to tutorials from Hannah along the way. Pre-orders for this calendar sold out within hours, so I expect this to prove super-popular with beauty fans. It’s available at okbeautybox.co.uk/advent.”

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Treasure Chest Advent Calendar, £175

Head of shopping Zoe Cripps says, “One of Charlotte’s beauty calendars sold every minute on launch day in 2024, so I know this year’s offering won’t stick around until December. For £175 you get 12 treats, including five full-sized icons such as Pillow Talk Lip Cheat, Collagen Lip Bath and a Beauty Light Wand, plus minis of Magic Cream and the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. Is it the best money-saving offering of the season? No, but if you’re a Tilbury user like me, this is your whole year of makeup shopping in one box.”
