Anyone who’s anyone is chatting beauty advent calendars and we can barely keep up with the new ones dropping daily. But one that always piques my interest as it’s always so brilliant is the Fortnum & Mason Beauty Advent Calendar. The London-based luxury brand is a royal favourite (Queen Elizabeth famously visited countless times), and the beauty advent calendar is usually a massive hit with beauty fans. And this year it looks better than ever – and a super stylish design too. Worth over £1,149, Fortnum’s Beauty Advent Calendar contains 26 products inside, and the best part, there are 23 full-sized products and 3 travel sized.
Packed with nourishing skincare, fragrance, bath, body and wellness treats within its drawers, it’s absolutely stunning to look at and easy to reuse thanks to the drawers. But if you thought all beauty advent calendars were created equal, think again, because this includes some of the best brands in the business including Jo Malone London, Bamford B and Ortiga.
One thing beauty fans are loving is the range of products. There’s something for everyone to enjoy, and everything is just what you want to use to indulge in during the colder months of December and January.
My review of the Fortnum & Mason beauty advent calendar
I would say that this is always a big one in the advent calendar countdown – it’s usually a festive treasure trove filled with products you can shop in Fortnum’s iconic beauty hall. Fortnum’s is a brand renowned for luxury so you expect the products to be luxurious, too. And this year, they most definitely are. I’m thrilled to see huge names including Cult51, Bamford, Sol de Janeiro, Charlotte Posner – all stunning brands, and they’re a little bit unique in that you won’t find them in many, if any, other beauty advents.
Scroll down to see the full list of contents but if you you’d prefer to be surprised you can expect nourishing skincare, haircare, fragrance, bath, body and wellness treats nestled within its drawers. As for the design, it’s super luxurious as you’d expect, leaning into a true festive vibe with red, greens and golds but with an intricate floral birds of paradise design.
A beauty advent calendar is only as good as the brands chosen to go inside, and this one is very fancy indeed! With pampering goodies from luxury brands, this Beauty Advent Calendar will seriously elevate your December.
