The sell-out Marks & Spencer beauty advent calendar is back for 2024 - and I think this year's one may be the best yet. The M&S calendar is one of the more affordable beauty advents on the market, becoming a cult favourite amongst shoppers. Plus, Martin Lewis often gives it his seal of approval, declaring last year's one a must-buy on his TV show – The Martin Lewis Money Show Live.
M&S changed tactics last year when it scrapped the box and brought out a toiletry bag-filled advent calendar. I just love how practical this is, and I'm still using my toiletry bag from last year. With a mix of both travel and full-sized products, discover cult classics as well as the latest launches and beauty innovations at M&S Beauty.
My review of the Marks & Spencer beauty advent calendar for 2024
The star of the show is that it's contained in a very convenient zip-around case - it also takes up less room. Obviously, advent calendars are wonderful, but they can be a bit too big, and this is just neat and compact. Out of the 25 products inside you have six full-size products - I would prefer if there were more, but it's a very affordable advent calendar.
I love the brands that have been featured inside; some of my favourites would be Emma Hardie, Prai and This Works, as well as Percy & Reed, Living Proof and Aveda - three of my ultimate haircare faves. My star product would have to be the This Works Deep Sleep Body Whip - it retails for £28 and who doesn't love a natural, calming body whip infused with Hemp Seed Extract and Magnesium to rest your mind and renew your skin as you sleep?
