It’s a strange time of year for beauty; in the midst of all the autumnal must-haves and Halloween tutorials, beauty advent calendars slowly but surely get thrown into that eclectic mix. Yes, we’re secretly at least starting to think about *whispers* Christmas. Though we’re a while away from tinsel and wrapping paper (thank goodness), beauty advent calendars are worth getting excited about. If opening bitesize portions of chocolate every morning come December doesn’t quite do it for you, surely unboxing a miniature version of your favourite product will? We’ve rounded up a few of the best luxury calendars just – or about to be – released that you should think about investing in now. They’ll be gone by November after all.
