It’s *almost* the most wonderful time of the year and we’ve been searching for the best beauty advent calendars to buy in preparation for Christmas.
Over the last few years, beauty advent calendars have become all the rage for the festive season – enabling many beauty addicts to try to a full collection of products in one go, and for a fraction of the original retail price.
One beauty advent calendar that isn’t to be missed this year is from Japanese beauty brand Shiseido – where for a swift £172, you can receive over £530 worth of Shiseido’s gorgeous skincare, makeup and fragrances.

Is the Shiseido beauty advent calendar worth it?
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or buying an early Christmas gift for somebody else, this year’s advent calendar is jam-packed with 24 full-sized, deluxe and travel mini versions of Shiseido’s best-selling products. Coming in at £173, it's definitely a considered purchase, but considering that the products in total are worth over £530, the advent calendar is worth it, in my opinion. The offering of both full-sized and mini products also means you're getting good bang for your buck.
My review of the Shiseido beauty advent calendar
As well as being a brand I really rate, Shiseido is also fan-favourite of many beauty enthusiasts including celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and Anne Hathaway, who has been an ambassador for the brand since last year. I was particularly excited to see this year's beauty advent calendar because of the variety of skincare, body care, fragrance and beauty products. In particular, the Clarifying Cleansing Foam, Benefiance Overnight Wrinkle Resisting Cream, Ultimune Power Infusing Hand Cream and Essential Energy Hydrating Cream are all either best-sellers or award-winning products, which is great because it means you receive some of the brand's most-loved products in this advent calendar.
