Ok, so the sun is still shining but my inbox is already packed with advent calendar news. More specifically, beauty advent calendars.
Here at HELLO! My job title may as well change to Advent Calendar Editor because from August through to December, it's all about these boxes of goodies.
There's always one brand who beats everyone else to drop their one first, and this year it's Fortnum & Mason.
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.
Worth over £1087, the Fortnum & Mason beauty advent calendar contains 27 products inside, and wait for it, there are 23 full-sized products, 2 travel-size items, and 2 deluxe samples.
Fortnum's Beauty Advent Calendar 2024
© Fortnum & MasonWhat's my verdict on 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 Creed, Aromatherapy Associates, Cult51, Bamford, Shleep, Baobab, Charlotte Posner - all stunning brands, and they're a little bit unique too.
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.
Fortnum’s has also teamed up with skincare specialists Wildsmith, to offer ten lucky drawer- openers complimentary facials worth £120. This appears to be a trend these days, adding in anticipation to the box of treats.
