TikTok, the go-to platform for beauty enthusiasts seeking recommendations, has recently crowned P.Louise as its top beauty and skincare brand. This accolade comes just in time for the launch of the brand's 2025 beauty advent calendars. This year, P.Louise has unveiled two advent calendars. One is the 12 Sleighs Of Christmas Bad Bitch Skincare Advent Calendar 2025 (£110), while the other is the Cruising Home For Christmas Makeup and Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 , and as soon as I spotted this one, I knew it was a must-have.

The calendar's goodies are tucked away inside four large cars, trucks and caravans, arranged on a semi-circle road in the brand's signature pink and red colour scheme. The immediate nostalgia it evoked was heartwarming, and I can already picture it nestled at the base of my Christmas tree (once it's up) for a truly festive display. The vehicles even require AAAA batteries to illuminate the headlights, adding to the cosy Christmas ambiance – although it would have been a nice touch if they were included. At a slightly steep £250, it's packed with over £700 worth of hair, makeup and skincare products, making it a worthwhile investment in my view. Unlike other calendars that only count down to Christmas Eve, the Cruising Home For Christmas Advent Calendar boasts 25 doors to open, which are scattered across various vehicles. You'll find some hidden in drawers within drop-down sides on the caravans and cars, while others are tucked away in fabric bags at the back of the flatbed truck. The treasures to open inside each one are a mixture of brand new and exclusive P.Louise treats, featuring skincare, makeup and haircare items. Peeking into some of the drawers (I couldn't resist), I found full-sized makeup brushes, a multipack of glowy loose pigment powders, false lashes and a glow-boosting primer. This does mean that the Cruising Home For Christmas Advent Calendar is quite large, so you'll need to make some room to display it in all its splendour come December. The quality of the products and the calendar itself is top-notch, with the vehicles even boasting fully functioning wheels for added fun. It's a real nostalgia trip, reminding me of Christmas mornings spent setting up new toys. I can already see myself bringing this out each year as part of my festive decorations. If you're short on space or fancy a variety of brands in your beauty advent calendar, The Cult Beauty Advent Calendar is still available for £240. You can opt for the classic curation or the limited edition one. Alternatively, Liberty's 2025 Beauty Advent Calendar is priced at £275 and includes brands like La Mer, Augustinus Bader and Lisa Eldridge, totalling a whopping £1245 worth of products, reports the Mirror .
