The Best Advent Calendars 2016 : Beauty, Jewellery & More

The Marks and Spencer Beauty Advent calendar was so popular last year and they have thankfully brought it back this year too.  Its perfectly festive with its Christmas tree shape and mini present design and is filled with 25 beauty treats. They range from deluxe travel minis to full-size favourites including the Ultimate Sleep Cream I featured on Monday. Brands include REN, Eyeko and Philip Kingsley.

AVAILABLE NOW!!! for £35 with a £35 spend instore and online on clothing, home or beauty. The calendar is worth over £250 so for me its the best value especially as its so festive and pretty.

The Charlotte Tillbury World of Legendary Parties advent calendar is exclusive to Selfridges and is an absolute beauty. I love the pink and rose gold packaging and the drawer design. Inside the 12 draws are 12 of Charlotte Tilbury's travel-sized beauty icons from Magic Cream, Wonderglow and more.

This is my winner of the luxury category as even though its only 12 days the calendar is gorgeous and there is not one product I wouldn't want in this Advent Calendar.

The Makeup Revolution advent calendar is my best budget calendar. I love the black design and the £30 price tag means its super affordable. Its full of 24 of Makeup Rev's best products including eyeshadows, lipsticks, nail polishes and beauty tools too.

This is ASOS's first foray into the Advent Calendar world and boy is this ASOS Advent Calendar a good un. The marble packaging is to die for and its contains 24 beauty, skincare and haircare products including Burts Bees, Dermalogica, Cowshed and Batiste amongst others.

This calendar is sure to sell out and appear all over everyone's instagram this December.

I used to buy Ciate's calendar every year but wasn't sure I'd bother this year, that was until I saw their Ciate Mini Mani Month 2016 They have perfected their packaging this year, its absolutely gorgeous. I love the little box design with the city skyline print and its my favourite out of all the calendars for this reason.

As always inside are mini sized nail polishes including four new and exclusive shades as well as a full size polish plus nail toppers and tools. 

Snap this beauty up asap!!!

The Body Shop has released not one, not two but three gorgeous Advent Calendars. All three have a really lovely patterned drawer design all filled with some of Body Shop's bestsellers and some brand new products too. The first calendar is the 24 Happy Days Advent Calendar for £60 in green, second is the 24 Happy Days Deluxe Advent Calendar for £80 in pink and finally the 24 Happy Days Ultimate Advent Calendar for £99 in red and gold.

All three are gorgeous and so nice to have a few choices for price range too plus your guaranteed to find some of your Body Shop faves in there. I think I would keep the drawer unit too and use them to store jewellery!!

The Look Fantastic Beauty Secret advent calendar sold out in 2015 in record time and this years is bigger and better. I've actually seen this Look Fantastic Beauty Secret 2016 calendar in the flesh and it is stunning. Its huge and so heavy which makes it feel so luxurious, plus its rose gold design means its super pretty too.

The best thing about this calendar is the contents are pretty secret. Of course there are plenty of spoiler posts out there but Look Fantastic don't show the contents on the website but promise it will include a mix of deluxe sample size and full size products from haircare, skincare to bodycare and makeup treats.

Pre order it now and have a brilliant surprise every day in December.

If you do fancy a chocolate edible Advent Calendar then do it in full on luxury style with this Charbonnel et Walker Chocolate Advent Calendar. You can count down to Christmas with 25, individually wrapped milk and dark chocolates. YUM!! This calendar has another lovely drawer design and you'll find flavours from English Violet to Caramel Vanille. 

Pretty and tasty - my kind of calendar!

For any jewellery lovers this Accessorize Advent Calendar is a beautiful bargain. You all know how much I love Accessorize jewellery and at only £15 this calendar is a snip. Inside is a necklace and bracelet as well as individual charms to add to them.

Such a cute calendar and a bit different from the usual beauty advent calendars.
