Boots has launched its first ever premium beauty advent calendar to rival the likes of Cult Beauty, Space NK and Sephora - at a snip of the price. Starring a bumper selection of high end beauty buys, the Christmas countdown will feature more than £460 worth of products, but be competitively priced at under £100.
Available now for £99, Boots 24 Days of Premium Beauty Treats advent calendar is stocked with 14 full-size products and ten miniatures. The calendar includes popular premium beauty brands available at Boots, such as REN, Grown Alchemist, Liz Earle, Fenty, Sol De Janeiro and Bobbi Brown.
With skincare, haircare and cosmetics inside, it's the perfect treat for yourself or a thoughtful gift for any beauty lover. And since it’s brand new for this year, we’re expecting it to sell out pretty quickly as shoppers have already been getting excited about it on social media. After Boots posted a teaser on Instagram, customers were quick to comment “Loveeee this can’t wait to buy”, with another adding “Commence the battle of the advent calendars!”
Boots is stocking over 50 advent calendars this year, said to be more than anywhere else on the high street, covering beauty, lifestyle, children's, home and food. Some of the alternative beauty options include the Macmillan advent calendar , as well as brands like Soap and Glory and Ted Baker.
In this guide we’ll be sharing everything you need to know about the 2023 premium beauty advent calendar from Boots, including how much it costs and the full contents.
