Beauty Advent Calendars 2014 (under £60)

There's no need to settle for chocolate in your advent calendar these days. In the past few years, beauty advent calendars have become a big thing. Many brands are releasing their take on the beauty advent calendar trend and as beauty obsessives, we love it! I've never actually owned one before. By the time I decided which one I wanted last year, they had all sold out! I'm going to be quicker this year and consider this a warning - act fast! Some are available now and by the beginning of November, they will all be available. In this post, I'm going to share the advent calendars which I have found under £60. 

Boots No7 Beauty Advent Calendar £35

Following the success of last year’s debut bestseller, the new No7 Beauty Calendar is  priced at £35 and is available from 29 October in selected stores and on boots.com. Containing 25 make up and skincare must haves for the festive season, it's worth £130 which is a massive saving of £95! This advent calendar appeals to me the most. It's the cheapest and has the biggest saving! Everyone's a winner (except maybe Boots!) 

L'Occitane Advent Calendar £45

L'Occitane's advent calendar is priced at £45 but it's worth £62. Although you only save £17, a saving is a saving at the end of the day! A negative for me is that there is only 13 doors to open. I don't understand the significance with 13 and would this be started on the 1st December? This advent calendar offering is available to buy on 3rd November.

Ciate Mini Mani Manor £49

"Ciaté’s Mini Mani Manor is the ultimate colour-packed countdown for the festive season – your very own merry mansion! What better way to embrace the holiday spirit than with 24 days’ worth of festive manicure goodies. This fairy-tale worthy advent calendar is an absolute must-have for any nail polish lover – you’ll find it hard not to open every window at once!"

It's priced at £49 but is worth £128 so you save a whopping £79! Ciate's popular advent calendar is available now and comes in three different variations. It's available to buy online here and in Selfridges and John Lewis stores.

The Best Of The Body Shop Advent Calendar £50

Available now, TBS Advent Calendar is priced at £50 and is worth £83 so you save a decent £33. It's available now and is available in selected stores. There are 24 doors to open in the run up to Christmas (I would have preferred 25 but I can't complain!) It contains some of their best-selling face and body care products and even includes some of the most recent launches including Nail Polish and Wild Argan.

"AND the gift of giving just gets better; with every Calendar you buy we will make a donation to our charity partner War Child, so you can send a child in a war-torn areas to class. What a gift!"

Elemis 12 Days Of Beauty Advent Calendar £59.50

This is a variation on the classic advent calendar as it's a post-Christmas calendar beginning on 25th Decemeber. This means it can actually be given as a gift on Christmas day and then enjoyed for the next 12 days. I think this is a great idea! It's available now online and is priced at £59.50. It's worth £113 so you save a great £53.50.

Which advent calendar do you have your eye on?
