Is the e.l.f Cosmetics advent calendar worth it?

It may not offer the most value of the best beauty advent calendars we’ve tested but e.l.f. Sleigh the Holidays 24-Day Advent Calendar is priced at £95 but has a value of £140 meaning you’re getting a good deal.

The calendar includes products to complete a full makeup routine, which will be great for beginners, or e.l.f fans. Plus e.l.f. is known for its quality products that are both vegan and cruelty-free, which adds another layer of value to this calendar.

Additionally, the inclusion of both full-sized and travel-sized products offers flexibility, allowing you to try out products without committing to the full size.

If you’re looking for a way to try a variety of e.l.f.’s offerings or introduce someone to the brand, this calendar could be a cost-effective way to do so. Given the range and quality of products included, it seems like a solid investment for the holiday season and given that it comes in at under £100, it’s at the cheaper end of the price spectrum.

The P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023 summary is as follows:

P.Louise Mini Advent Calendar 2023

Sadly the P.Louise advent calendar isn’t included in the sale but seeing as all of the products in the calendar are brand new, you don’t have to worry about accidentally buying something in the sale that you’ll later get in the calendar.

If we had to choose our favourite P.Louise sale item, we’d opt for the P.Louise Babes That Save Makeup Bundle. It was £105 but you can currently get it for just £35!

Original P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023 guide continues below

P.Louise has made a name for itself as an almost iconic makeup brand, beloved by artists for its elaborate eyeshadow looks, brushes, and palettes (among other products!)

The collection sits in the mid-range, price-wise, although you can often get bargains on the TikTok shop, or via P.Louise’s Budget Boxes.

This is because brand owner – Paige Louise – is keen to make sure everyone can enjoy her products.

Last year, she released not one but two P.Louise advent calendars – a full, size Magic in the Memories calendar (complete with fairy lights…), and a cheaper, budget version.

This year she had originally planned to launch just one calendar, called the Wonderful World of P. Louise Advent Calendar 2023, but she’s since announced a mini, budget calendar.

Pre-orders for both are now open!

Keep reading to find out what we know, what we’re waiting to find out, and what we’re expecting from the 2023 P.Louise Advent Calendars’ cost, contents, release date, and more.

Last year, the P.Louise advent calendars were only available via the official P.Louise app. You couldn’t get them online. The smaller of the two sold out almost immediately, while the larger one was on sale for a couple of weeks before running out.

  • P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023 price: The Wonderful World of P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023 costs £210 but you can also pre-order it on a payment plan and pay three installments of £70 each.
  • P.Louise Calendar Value: The 2023 P.Louise advent calendar is worth £500 this year and all of the contents are unreleased products.
  • P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023 release date: Last year, the calendars were announced on 18 September but didn’t ship until November and, based on the pre-order page, it looks like November will be when the 2023 calendars will begin shipping.

Side note: The calendar looks absolutely huge and P. Louise’s boss Paige has confirmed that it weighs 10kg!

Will there be a Budget P. Louise Advent Calendar in 2023?

Yes!

P.Louise originally only had plans for the main 2023 P.Louise Advent Calendar but the brand faced a backlash online for making it so expensive. This led to many people calling for a cheaper, budget P.Louise calendar instead.

The CEO, Paige Louise, posted a video in response to these comments saying she’s “working on it” and is hoping to pull together a cheaper, 10-day advent calendar in time for the festive season.

She did stress in the video that she can’t promise anything yet because advent calendars take a lot of pre-planning and logistical challenges but said she’s going to try her best to make sure everyone gets a bit of P.Louise this year.

In the TikTok, she says: “I know the price point of the calendar isn’t cheap but it’s simply due to the volume of full-sized products you’re getting in it. I don’t hold back on packaging…so it does cost to have lights. It’s not been done cheap because I want to make you guys feel luxury.

“However, it is only right for me to take on board what you guys say because you are my people. Without you, I’d be a dream still. So right now, internally, me and my team are working on creating a more affordable advent calendar. 10 days of products and it will be smaller.”

She ends the post by saying that she can’t promise anything – advent calendars are ordered almost a year ahead of time – but she said she’ll keep everyone updated.

You can watch Paige’s video below or keep scrolling to pre-order the main P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023. There’s even a payment plan to help you cover the cost.

@p.louiseceoLets talk …♬ original sound – Paige Louise

As a side note, the main calendar is available on a 3-part payment plan – £70 a month for three months – if that makes it easier to get hold of the main calendar.

Mini P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023

What’s inside the Mini P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023?

Like with the main P.Louise Advent Calendar, we don’t know the exact details of what’s inside the Mini P.Louise calendar but we do know that it contains 10 products, and all of these 10 products are exclusive to the advent calendar.

It should be noted that these 10 products are also found in the larger calendar so if you can afford the main P.Louise calendar, you’ll get more value. If you can’t, this cheaper one sounds like a very worthwhile substitute.

Pre-order now

Is the P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023 worth it?

Paige Louise, the CEO of P.Louise recently came under some criticism for originally failing to offer a cheaper, smaller version of the 2023 PLouise Advent Calendar with TikTok and Instagram followers saying she’s not being inclusive and the calendar is priced too high.

This saw the brand release the Mini P.Louise Advent Calendar 2023.

We bought last year’s budget version and were a little disappointed. It contained a lot of skincare and not much makeup; certainly, not anything that stood out to us. It felt like it was an excuse to get rid of end-of-line products, or products that weren’t selling very well.

The large version, however, was fantastic. It was full of exclusive items, almost all of which were full-sized and which weren’t available in Mystery Box bundles or similar. This made it a unique purchase.

It appears that the budget P.Louise calendar contains 10 of the same products as in the main one, so we’d expect it to be better than last year.

Yes, £200+ plus is a lot to spend on anything, let alone a beauty advent calendar but if you’re into makeup and have tried P Louise products in the past, we feel the calendar is worth the investment. You’re not only getting £500’s worth of some of the best makeup on the market (you only have to look at just how many influencers love this brand), but you’ll be getting pieces that are unlikely to be available anywhere else, or ever again.

What’s more, P Louise has introduced a payment plan allowing you to buy the P Louise Advent Calendar 2023 in installments, £70 each time. This is still expensive but it ties in with Paige Louise’s mission to make sure no one misses out and that her makeup remains accessible.

We’ve pre-ordered the 2023 P.Louise calendar and will update this page as soon as we have more to share about what’s inside and if we think the P Louise Advent Calendar 2023 is worth it.

Is there Black Friday in 2023?

Yes, there is a Black Friday in 2023. The deals started on 1 November and last all month, although the official Black Friday date is 24 November.

When is Black Friday in UK 2023?

The 2023 Black Friday in UK officially starts on Friday 24 November. Cyber Monday 2023 is on 27 November.

Why Black Friday is called Black Friday?

It’s called Black Friday because it refers to shops using sales and offers to attract customers in an attempt to get their finances “into the black” before the end of the accounting period.

Whereas it was largely dominated by offline sales, more recently it’s come to represent weeks of online sales across nearly every major retailer, in nearly every sector.

It’s also used by many as the main shopping event where they buy their Christmas gifts.

Notably, the items that are most popular and most likely to be discounted are electronics and toys. Yet these savings extend far beyond into makeup, skincare, beauty tools, accessories, hair dryers, straighteners, and just about any other beauty product you can think of.

When did Black Friday become a thing in the UK?

Amazon is credited with bringing Black Friday to the UK in 2010 when it launched its annual Black Friday sale on the UK version of its website, at the same time as it went live in the US.

As is the case, where Amazon leads other brands follow and the number of retailers running Black Friday deals in the UK has been growing year-on-year.

As has the length and breadth of the sales.

Why did Black Friday start in UK?

Shopping online concept - Parcel or Paper cartons with a shopping cart logo in a trolley on a laptop keyboard. Shopping service on The online web. with payment by credit card and offers home delivery.Getty Images/iStockphoto

The concept of Black Friday was introduced to the UK mainly through the influence of American companies and the internet generally. Here are some key factors that contributed to the spread of Black Friday in the UK:

US influence

Companies like Amazon and Walmart (which owns Asda) played a significant role in bringing Black Friday to the UK. Amazon began offering Black Friday deals to its UK customers around 2010, and other retailers followed suit.

Globalisation of Retail

The internet and the rise of global markets meant that retail trends could cross borders more easily than before. This allowed people to take part in shopping events that were once only in specific countries or regions.

Competition

The UK retail market is highly competitive, and retailers are always looking for ways to attract customers, especially in the lead-up to Christmas. Q4 is an important quarter for all businesses and Black Friday sits smack in the middle of it.

Media hype

Media coverage of Black Friday in the US piqued interest in the UK. Stories of shoppers queuing and fighting made it a popular news story, plus it became a lucrative way for websites that earn affiliate money to push deals.

Demand

As UK consumers became aware of the discounts available on Black Friday, demand for similar deals grew. Retailers were keen to meet this demand, further establishing Black Friday as a big event in the UK retail calendar.

Is Black Friday a bank holiday?

No, sadly Black Friday is not a bank holiday!

The beauty advent calendar trend has exploded in recent years and they’re a fantastic way for any beauty lover to get full-size products from beauty brands like Estée Lauder, Charlotte Tilbury, and MAC at reduced or sale prices.

In fact, most major beauty brands now sell limited-edition advent calendars – including the likes of third-party retailers Cult Beauty, Glossybox, Lookfantastic, and Boots – in 12-day, 24-day, or 25-day versions.

They don’t just stock makeup, either.

These beauty advent calendars are full of a mix of body products, skincare, hair products, accessories, fragrances, and tools.

There are also calendars dedicated solely to skincare, as well as adult advent calendars from the likes of Ann Summers and Lovehoney.

Below we’ve listed the advent calendar 2023 waitlists and pre-orders that are open, as well as the calendars that are already on sale.

Who does the best advent calendars in the UK?

The brands that do the best advent calendars are multi-brand beauty retailers like Cult Beauty and Harvey Nichols because you can get a wide range of products, product types, and brands.

If we had to choose the best advent calendars from the very long list above, we’d have to choose:

  • Best advent calendar for value: Harvey Nichols – it’s expensive at £250  but you get 45 products behind 24 doors. This is more than any other calendar and the total worth of these products and treatment value is more than £1,300.
  • Best cheap advent calendar: The word cheap is, of course, relative but in terms of the range of products, worth, and price, this award has to go to the Lookfantastic advent calendar. It has 27 products behind 25 days, 12 of which are full-sized, worth £565 yet the calendar itself costs just £99 (or £89 if you’re a Lookfantstic beauty box subscriber).
  • Best luxury advent calendar: Technically the Harvey Nichols advent calendar is the best luxury calendar, but we’re also very excited for the Harrods advent calendar 2023. For £250 you get 25 doors and 25 products. Each one is a premium brand found in the iconic store’s beauty hall including Charlotte Tilbury, Aromatherapy Associates, Dr. Barbara Sturm, and Kylie Cosmetics. It’s worth £1,170.
  • Best single brand advent calendar 2023: This award has to go to MAC. The 2023 MAC advent calendar contains 21 full-sized products and a great range of skincare, makeup, and tools for your face, eyes, and lips.
  • Best skincare advent calendar 2023: We’re awarding this title to the ESPA advent calendar. Spa-quality skincare that does as it promises. We’ve also started listing all the best skincare advent calendars in our skincare advent calendar UK 2023 guide.

Best makeup advent calendar 2023: With a large number of beauty brands getting into skincare, it’s rare to find an advent calendar full of just makeup. The best of the bunch though is the Makeup Revolution Advent Calendar 2023. It contains loads of full-size products worth £96 for just £48.

@victoria_woolly_web Disappointing 😔 The 2023 Benefit Advent Calendar is £148 (and on sale now) and the vast majority of products aren’t just travel-size they’re tiny. Getting the cleanser as the main gift in box 24 wasn’t what I was hoping for, and the absolute state of that eyebrow pencil. Wish I’d saved my money 🥲 the full-size Roller Lash is good though… #mamabella #advent #adventcalendar #adventcalendar2023 #benefitadventcalendar #benefit #benefitbrows #makeupadventcalendar #skincareadvent #adventunboxing #unboxingvideo #unboxingadventcalendars ♬ Famous Christmas songs / Orchestra arrangement(150588) – MIZUSATO Masaki

What’s inside the Charlotte Tilbury Advent Calendar 2023 contents:

The Charlotte Tilbury Advent Calendar 2023 is a festive box full of Charlotte Tilbury makeup, skincare, and tools. It’s a 12-day calendar, rather than a 25-day version, and it contains a mixture of travel-sized products, as well as full-sized versions of some of its bestselling items.

It’s officially called Charlotte’s Lucky Chest of Beauty Secrets Advent Calendar 2023.

See the full list of what’s in the Charlotte Tilbury Advent Calendar 2023 here or watch our unboxing video below.

@victoria_woolly_web For someone who is generally a fan of Charlotte Tilbury – I feel like the brand dropped off for a bit but I like its more recent skincare in particularly – the Charlotte Tilbury Advent Calendar 2023 has enough different products to make it worth buying. Even if you have a lot of her stuff already. I’m disappointed there isn’t an eyeshadow palette of some variety. Her quad palettes are expensive (at £40) and I was hoping the calendar would be a way of getting one slightly cheaper 😅 For £160 you get 12 days of products the majority are travel-sized. The only full-sized products are the Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir and the Hot Lips 2 lipstick in the shade Glowing Jen. The drawers aren’t numbered so I think I was meant to go top left to bottom right but 🤷‍♀️ The box is cute and could double up as a jewellery box. It’s also slightly better quality than last year’s. All things considered I’m glad I bought it (it’s not an ad nor was it gifted) but it’s pricey and didn’t blow me away. The full list of what’s in the Charlotte Tilbury Advent Calendar 2023 is as follows: * Charlotte’s Magic Cream * Airbrush Setting Spray * FULL SIZE Hot Lips 2 in Glowing Jen * Beauty Light Wand in Spotlight * FULL SIZE Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir * Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir * Hollywood Complexion Brush * Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Hot Gossip * Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Pillow Talk * Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes!

@victoria_woolly_web 😫😫😫 This is so expensive and SO disappointing; it’s making me feel a bit sick how much I spent on this to get so many average minis. My hands aren’t small but they’re not huge either, so you can see how tiny the vast majority of products are. All of the products I’ve tried from this Jo Malone Advent Calendar 2023 smell amazing, and because they’re strong they should last longer than I might think but my goodness I’m having serious buyer’s regret 😫 #advent #adventcalendar #adventunboxing #jomalone #jomaloneadventcalendar #premiumadvent #luxuryadvent #adventcalendarreviews #adventreviews #kjomaloneadventcalendar2023 #bestadventcalendar2023 #advent2023 #christmascalendar #christmas #countdowntochristmas ♬ cardigan – Taylor Swift

@victoria_woolly_web This is how you do an advent calendar! The Liberty Advent Calendar 2023 is full of premium brands including Rose Inc. Dr Sturm, Sunday Riley and Aromatherapy Associates. Most of these brands I’ve heard of, some of them I haven’t and others are products I’ve been wanting to try but never got round to it. This (to me at least) is the beauty of advent calendars and the fact that 20 products are full-size is giving me life. This isn’t full of your viral products (with the exception of Paula’s Choice) it’s full of high-end skincare, hair care and makeup worth more than £1,000. I don’t think it quite lives up to the Space NK calendar or the Harvey Nichols one but it’s really, really good and worth the money in my honest opinion! #advent #adventcalendar #adventunboxing #libertyadventcalendar #libertyadventcalendar2023 #premiumadvent #luxuryadvent #adventcalendarreviews #adventreviews #bestadventcalendar2023 #advent2023 #christmascalendar #christmas #countdowntochristmas ♬ When the Rain Comes – Sugababes

Saks Fifth Avenue is a premium retailer in the US, similar to Harrods or Liberty in the UK, and it sells a wide range of high-end beauty products and brands in its iconic beauty hall. Each year it sells an advent calendar full of a curated selection of these luxury brands and the 2023 version is now different. It contains:

  • 111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Retinol Oil
  • Aesop Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash

Anything else?

This advent calendar is shipped from the US so you will need to pay shipping and customs fees. This looks to average around £11.65 for shipping, and £68.86 in taxes, which is not an insignificant amount of money. You’ll still save around £200 on buying the products separately, and there are a number of brands and items that we haven’t yet seen in the UK advent calendars so it’s still worth it (in our opinion) if you can afford it.

The Sephora Favourites calendar always offers a good selection of full-size products from multiple brands. This year’s calendar contains 36 products behind 24 doors from brands such as Aromatherapy Associates, Glow Recipe, Elemis, and more. You can see the full list of what’s in the Sephora Advent Calendar 2023 here, or by watching our unboxing video below.

@victoria_woolly_web I’ve been waiting for the Sephora Advent Calendar 2023 and it didn’t disappoint. For £189 you get 36 products – 23 of which are full size – worth £1,045. As advent calendars go, the Sephora Advent Calendar is up there with the Space NK one (in our view). There are also a number of products and brands you won’t find in many other calendars, including Gwen Stefani’s GXVE, K18, Fenty Skin and Vegamour. These products on their own get close to the price of the Sephora calendar. When you compare this to the Charlotte Tilbury Advent Calendar 2023, for example, it looks like an even better value. Charlotte’s calendar costs £29 less than Sephora’s calendar but you get 12 products versus 36. Plus, only two products in the Charlotte Tilbury calendar are full-size, versus 23 in the Sephora. We still think the Space NK takes the edge but the Sephora is a slightly cheaper calendar that’s almost exactly on par with its rival in our hunt for the best advent calendars 2023. Not ad nor is it gifted. #advent #adventcalendars #adventcalendars2023 #adventunboxing #sephoraadvent #sephoramusthaves #sephoradventcalendar2023 #premiumadvent #luxuryadvent #adventcalendarreviews #adventreviews #bestadventcalendar2023 #advent2023 #christmascalendar #christmas #countdowntochristmas ♬ 3D (feat.

Advent Calendar FAQS

Below we answer all your advent calendar questions.

What is a beauty advent calendar?

Lush advent calendar contents 2022Lush

A beauty advent calendar is a take on the standard advent calendar but instead of religious pictures, or chocolate, you get beauty products behind each door.

You can buy standalone makeup or skincare advent calendars or you can buy calendars from retailers that contain a mix of beauty products.

For instance, Revolution sells a makeup advent calendar, Dr Barbara Sturm’s calendar only contains skincare, while Cult Beauty’s advent calendar sells a mixture of makeup, skincare, hair care and accessories.

When do beauty advent calendars come out?

The first beauty advent calendars come out in August and September and the releases start ramping up from October.

The Body Shop and Lush advent calendars are usually the first to go on sale, followed by Liberty and Charlotte Tilbury. This is based on previous years, and what we already know about the 2023 versions.

If you’re interested in one advent calendar in particular, it’s worth signing up for its waitlist as you’ll be given advanced notice of its release. We’ll also be adding to this list of best beauty advent calendars as and when new calendars are announced, and go on sale.

Are beauty advent calendars worth it?

Cult Beauty Advent cAlendar 2022 contents price and launch dateCult Beauty

Beauty advent calendars can be worth it if you like trying out a variety of beauty products and brands. They’re a fun and exciting way to count down to the holiday season while uncovering new favourite products.

Many beauty advent calendars are also worth a lot more than they cost. In the case of the Cult Beauty and Liberty calendars, as two examples, the calendars represent savings of £800-£900.

What’s more, you can get cheap advent calendars for less than £50 so, in our opinion, beauty advent calendars are worth it!

Why do we call it Advent?

Clinique advent calendar 2020Clinique

We call it “Advent” because, in Latin, “adventus” means “coming” or “arrival” and it’s linked with the arrival of Jesus Christ on 25 December.

The official Advent tradition, practiced by Christians, starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and usually lasts around four weeks. During this time, candles are placed on an advent wreath which represent hope, peace, joy, and love. Each candle is lit in order each week on the run-up to Christmas day.

However, you start an advent calendar on a different day (unless you’ve got a religious advent calendar or candle).

When to start an advent calendar 2023?

ESPA Advent Calendar 2023 contentsESPA

Knowing when to start an advent calendar depends on the type of advent calendar you’ve bought.

All 24-day and 25-day advent calendars start on 1 December and you open a door every day until either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

If you have a 12-day advent calendar, you should look to start it on 14 December if you want to open the final day on Christmas Day.

Do beauty advent calenders go from 1 to 25 or 25 to 1?

Advent calendars go from 1 to 25, not 25 to 1. The number of the door corresponds with the date so you’ll open door 1 on the 1 December, door 2 on the 2nd December, and so on until Christmas Day.

You can, of course, open advent calendars in any order you want – you can even open every door on the day it arrives if you prefer! – but the correct order is from 1 to 25.

This is because door 25 is typically reserved for the best item in the advent calendar, which is usually a full-sized product.

What number do you start with on a 12-day advent calendar?

If you have a 12-day calendar, you start it on 13 December if you want to open the final door on Christmas Day.

Although you can technically start it whenever you want. Like with 25-door calendars, you start with door 1 and open door 2, door 3 and so on until you reach door 12.

How to know which beauty advent calendar is best

Harvey Nichols Advent Calendar 2023Harvey Nichols

Knowing which beauty advent calendar to spend your money on can be difficult because of the huge amount of choice. Here’s what you need to consider:

  • Budget: How much you can feasibly spend on a beauty advent calendar will obviously play a huge role but you don’t have to spend a fortune. Every year, a great range of cheap advent calendars go on sale that cost less than £50. Our favourites include Revolution’s makeup calendar and the smaller Boots No7 advent calendar.
  • Value for money: How much a calendar is worth goes hand-in-hand with your budget, but it can often be better to spend a little more to get better value for money. For example, the Liberty advent calendar costs ~£250 but it usually is worth ~£1,000 and many of the products are full-sized. This makes it an expensive calendar, but fantastic value for money.
  • Type: Are you running low on makeup? Do you want to try new skincare, or is there a brand you particularly love? This will help you determine which beauty advent calendar to buy. In our opinion, the best beauty advent calendars are those from retailers such as Cult Beauty, Lookfantastic and Liberty. This is because they offer a huge range of brands and product types. Our favourite single-brand calendars are then P.Louise, and MAC.
  • Sustainability: An increasing number of brands are offering more sustainable packaging with their advent calendars, while others are also donating money to charity and planting trees alongside their calendar releases. The best one for this is Cult Beauty, as well as The Body Shop.

What is a good teen advent calendar 2023 in the UK?

Essence Advent Calendar 2023 contentsEssence

The majority of advent calendars will suit teenagers – depending on your/their budget of course – but there are a number that are better suited to younger people and younger skin.

Our pick of 2023 teen advent calendars include:

Discover more options in our best advent calendar for teens guide here.

What are the best advent calendars for adults?

Technically, any advent calendar can be an adult advent calendar because – as adults – we can choose which type of calendar we want! We’re guessing the distinction comes from the fact many advent calendars contain chocolate or toys and they’re seen as quite a child-like purchase.

However, if we take the term “adult” in the context of adult content, then we’re talking about calendars from the likes of Ann Summers and Lovehoney. These all contain toys and bedroom accessories to make the run-up to Christmas a little hotter…

The best we’ve seen is the Lovehoney Womanizer Advent Calendar, but we’ve listed a host of other options for different budgets in our adult advent calendar 2023 guide.

Does Sephora have an advent calendar?

Is the Sephora advent calendar worth it?Sephora

Yes, Sephora does have an advent calendar. In fact, it has three!

The main, bestselling, and most popular version is the Sephora Favourites Advent Calendar. It’s a multi-brand calendar that contains the likes of Aromatherapy Associates, Glow Recipe, Elemis, and more. You can see the full list of what’s in the Sephora Advent Calendar 2023 here.

There are then two calendars in the Sephora Collection range.

The cheaper of the two, called the Sephora Collection Advent Calendar 2023, costs £49.99 and contains 24 days of Sephora’s own-brand products. The more expensive version, the Sephora Collection Premium Advent Calendar 2023, costs £79.99 and contains 24 days of Sephora products, although more are full-size or expensive than on the cheaper model.

Sephora advent calendars typically reflect the brand’s diversity of products, often featuring a mix of its bestselling or most popular items. These latter two calendars, particularly, are a great way to sample products from Sephora’s range without committing to full-price purchases.

They also make for a luxurious gift option for beauty enthusiasts. While the exact contents can vary from year to year, you can generally expect a well-curated selection that offers a comprehensive beauty experience, from skincare to makeup and other beauty tools.

Chanel Advent Calendar 2023: Is Chanel selling an advent calendar this year?

Chanel Advent CalendarChanel

Chanel is yet to announce if it’s selling an advent calendar in 2023 but judging by last year’s controversy, they may take a wide berth.

That’s because its $850 Chanel Advent Calendar caused an uproar on social media following its unveiling in 2022.

An influencer called Elise Harmon posted an unboxing video of the 2022 Chanel advent calendar to TikTok and criticised it for being full of “knickknacks” such as keychains and stickers alongside travel-sized versions of Chanel makeup and skincare. Despite being one of the most expensive calendars of the year.

Chanel allegedly then blocked Harmon which added fuel to the fire and people took to Chanel’s social channels to lament the French fashion brand.

As a result, Chanel may choose to not even bother with a calendar in 2023, or it will release one designed to get back into people’s good books!

Will there be a Florence by Mills advent calendar 2023?

Florence by Mills lip balm for girls cute whaleFlorence by Mills

As of right now, there is no official announcement from Florence by Mills about a 2023 advent calendar. However, the brand has released an advent calendar in the past, so it is possible that they will release one again this year. If they do, it is likely to be available for purchase in late October or early November.

We’ll update this page once we know more but in the meantime, we recommend checking the Florence by Mills website or social media pages in the coming months for more information about a potential 2023 advent calendar. You can also sign up for its email list to be notified when new products are released.

Will there be a Drunk Elephant advent calendar 2023?

Drunk Elephant was recently found to be the most searched-for beauty brand in the UK so it’s no surprise that fans are crying out for a Drunk Elephant Advent Calendar 2023.

The brand doesn’t typically release advent calendars. Instead, it focuses on Christmas gift sets and bundles.

It also partners with a number of retailers to make its products available in existing calendars. For instance, the Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream features in the 2023 SpaceNK calendar, while the Beste No 9. Jelly Cleanser is in the Cult Beauty calendar.

With this in mind, it’s unlikely we’ll see a dedicated Drunk Elephant advent calendar in 2023 but if that changes, we’ll update this page.

Will there be a The Ordinary advent calendar 2023?

Will there be a The Ordinary Advent Calendar 2023?The Ordinary

Like with the Drunk Elephant advent calendar, Deciem (the company that owns The Ordinary) doesn’t tend to release a The Ordinary advent calendar. Instead, a lot of its products feature in other calendars.

For example in 2023, The Ordinary is already set to feature in the 2023 Space NK advent calendar, the Sephora advent calendar, and the Lookfantastic calendar.

If that changes, we’ll update this page!

Will there be a Ralph Lauren Advent Calendar 2023?

If previous years are anything to go by, there is unlikely to be 2023 Ralph Lauren Advent Calendar. Well, certainly not one that is readily available to buy.

Reports suggest that Ralph Lauren does create an advent calendar each year but it’s only exclusively available for friends and family of the brand. That means unless you work for Ralph Lauren or know someone who does, you won’t be able to get a Ralph Lauren Advent Calendar in 2023.

If anyone knows different, please let us know or if you’re lucky enough to get one, let us know what’s inside so we can live vicariously through you!

Will there be a Glow Recipe Christmas Advent Calendar 2023?

Glow Recipe Christmas Calendar alternative gift setGlow Recipe

Glow Recipe doesn’t usually sell its own advent calendar. Instead, you often get Glow Recipe in a number of the more expensive calendars, such as the Cult Beauty calendar.

This may change in 2023, but if we were a betting person, we’d say that it’s unlikely there will be a Glow Recipe Christmas calendar.

That said, you can get Glow Recipe Christmas gift sets and the Glow Recipe Vault.

We’ll update this page if a Glow Recipe Advent Calendar does make an appearance though!

Will there be a Sol de Janeiro Advent Calendar 2023?

Just like with the Glow Recipe calendar (and The Ordinary Advent calendar), there is unlikely to be a Sol de Janeiro Advent Calendar 2023 because you often find Sol de Janeiro products inside other calendars.

Last year, we got the Bum Bum Cream and the Coco Cabana Cream in last year’s calendar offerings. We’ve posted a few advent calendars to TikTok in our Advent 2023 playlist and a couple of those also include Sol De Janeiro advent calendar content.

In lieu of a 2023 Sol De Janeiro calendar though, the brand has announced the Sol De Janeiro Ultimate Icons Set.

At the time of writing, it’s only currently on sale in the US but the details are as follows:

24 days of Clinique beauty advent calendarClinique

There was a Clinique Advent Calendar in 2022 – in fact, you can still buy it from a few places – but we haven’t had an official word about a 2023 Clinique Advent Calendar.

If/once that changes, we’ll update this page. In the meantime, we’ve pasted the contents of last year’s Clinique advent calendar to give you an idea of what the 2023 version could contain.

The 24 Days of Clinique Advent Calendar 2022 retailed for £150 and was worth £381.

Will there be a Too Faced Advent Calendar 2023?

Too Faced Advent CalendarToo Faced

The last time there was a Too Faced Advent Calendar was 2020 and the brand was criticised for the calendar’s high price and poor selection of products. Given that Too Faced hasn’t released a calendar since, we’re not holding out hope for a Too Faced Advent Calendar 2023.

However, if we’re proved wrong, we’ll update this page. Below we’ve listed what was inside the Too Faced Enchanted Advent Calendar 2020 to give you an idea of what a Too Faced calendar could contain.

  • Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme FULL SIZE
  • Too Faced  Better Than Sex Mascara FULL SIZE
  • Damn Girl! Mascara FULL SIZE
  • Better Than Sex Easy Glide Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner FULL SIZE
  • Too Faced Hangover Pillow Cream

We launched mamabella to make it easier and cheaper for people to enjoy makeup and skincare. Something that is difficult at the best of times, let alone during a cost of living crisis.

We’ve previously listed our pick of the best cheap makeup brands, collated the best multipurpose makeup, skincare, and haircare products that save you money, space, and time, and now we’ve started a growing list of exclusive discount codes.

Some of these are long-term discount codes. Others are only available for a limited time to coincide with particular shopping events, such as Black Friday. If we know the end date, we’ll list it alongside the codes but it might always be worth trying them after the fact, just in case!

As part of our ongoing TikTok series in which we’re testing skincare to find the best moisturisers and best serums, a number of our followers have requested Korean and Japanese beauty favourites. However, getting hold of them in the UK isn’t always that easy, or you end up paying vast sums to get them shipped internationally.

We recently discovered an alternative method to not only get hold of swathes of international products but in a way that doesn’t cost a fortune in shipping or customs charges. The website is called Stylevana and we’ve now made a number of orders through the retailer.

You do have to wait a tad longer than you would when buying from the UK but if you’re keen to try some of these game-changing K-Beauty products, it’s much faster and cheaper than other methods we’ve used!

What’s more, with our unique discount code you can get 10% off the entire site, from beauty products but also clothes and more.

In the run-up to Black Friday, you can get 10% off all Current Body LED masks, skincare, and tools. Its flexible LED therapy mask recently made our best LED mask round-up and it scored highly because it’s the most comfortable of the silicone models that we’ve tried.

We’ve also recently started testing the Current Body Eye Perfector which is designed to help reduce puffiness, dark circles and fine lines around your eyes. It’s a super comfortable mask and works quickly. We’ll be writing up a full review as soon as we’ve spent decent time with it.

While 10% may not seem like a huge discount, the Current Body gadgets (in particular) don’t come cheap which means that 10% of a lot of money is a lot of discount! For example, the LED mask costs £279 meaning you’ll save £27.90! Not too shabby.

With the code ITSMAMABELLA you can save 10% on everything on the Depology site, including sale items! We’re waiting to hear if this code will work on top of the planned Black Friday deals and we’ll update this page once we know more.

Is the Glossybox advent calendar worth it?

We’ve bought the Glossybox advent calendar for the past three years and despite having tried a lot of calendars over the years, it remains one of the original and best. Not least because it’s so affordable (relatively speaking).

Its price sits around £90, on average, yet for that, you get products that are worth up to three times as much.

Not just that, but the brands are all well-known, makeup, skincare and haircare giants such as Glossier, L’Occitane, MILK Makeup, Laneige, Color WOW, and more.

Often cheap advent calendars are full of indie brands. We’ve discovered some amazing indie brands from advent calendars so this isn’t a criticism, but it shows just how much the Glossybox advent calendar is worth it.

Glossybox beauty subscription boxGlossybox

A number of the products are full-sized too and last year’s Christmas Day gift was a Magnitone XOXO Soft Touch Facial Cleansing Brush. So it’s not just products but tools and accessories too.

If we had to choose our favourite advent calendar, it would be a tough decision between the Glossybox calendar and the SpaceNK version but Glossybox would just take the title.

To guarantee purchase, we also recommend signing up for the Glossybox beauty box. A lot of the products inside each month’s box are full-sized and in addition to huge brands like Elemis and Avant, Glossybox also champions smaller businesses and indie beauty brands.

A 12-month subscription costs £11.50 a month, or you can buy it on a rolling contract for £13.50 a month. The boxes are regularly worth £50+ so this is a significant saving.

Boots Premium Advent Calendar: Deep Dive

Below we go into detail about what each of the Boots Premium Advent Calendar’s contents do, and who they’re for, to hopefully help you make a more informed decision about whether it’s worth it or not.

  • Arkive All Day Extra Conditioner: A conditioner designed to provide all-day hydration to the hair. Contains key ingredients like natural oils and is best suited for dry or damaged hair.
  • Sol De Janeiro Beija Flor Cream: A body cream designed to hydrate and nourish the skin. Contains a blend of natural oils and is suitable for all skin types.
  • Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting & Firming: This cream contains peptides to help lift and firm the skin and is best suited for mature or sagging skin.
  • Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser: This jelly cleanser removes makeup and dirt on all skin types, including sensitive skin.
  • Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Liquid Lipstick: A full-sized liquid lipstick in the shade ‘Sweet Talker’.
  • REN Clean Skincare Brightening Dark Circle Eye Cream: A full-sized eye cream designed to brighten dark circles thanks to the use of Vitamin C.
  • The Inkey List Omega Water Cream: This water-based cream currently tops our best moisturiser for oily skin guide. It’s designed to hydrate the skin and contains Omega fatty acids to plump and refresh.

  • KVD Beauty Dazzle Vegan Eyeshadow Stick: A full-sized vegan eyeshadow stick in the golden shade ‘Hail Surge’. Will suit most eye colours but is best suited to blue eyes.

Space NK Advent Calendar 2023 Unboxing

We’ve already started posting full unboxing videos of each calendar individually. We buy the majority of the advent calendars we review so we can’t cover them all but we try to get through as many as we can!

Is the Space NK Advent Calendar worth it?

We’ve had the privilege to test a lot of the best beauty advent calendars over the years and one brand that consistently tops the charts, and which we buy every year without fail, is the Space NK Advent Calendar.

It’s similar to the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar, in terms of price, value, size, and range of contents but, based on our personal experience, the SpaceNK calendar just pips Cult Beauty to the post.

This is because it is full of premium brands that are only found in a small number of calendars. These include Wishful, Omorovicza, Tatcha, and Drunk Elephant.

It then throws in a couple of extra products for good measure. For example, in the 2023 Space NK Advent Calendar, there are 25 doors but 33 products.

What’s more, 19 of those premium products are full-size. This means the Space NK calendar is worth more than £1,000 this year, which represents a saving of £765.

We were blown away by last year’s calendar and if you’re left wondering “Is the Space NK Advent Calendar worth it?” the answer – at least from us – is a resounding yes. If you can only afford one advent calendar this year, make it the Space NK one.

The post The best creams, lotions and masks to help lift and firm your boobs appeared first on mamabella.

]]> As we get older or our weight fluctuates, our boobs have a tendency to droop and sag. If this is something you’re worried about, here is our pick of tried-and-tested boob-lifting creams, serums, lotions, and masks

WHAT CAUSES SAGGY BOOBS AND CREPEY SKIN

Your breasts are made up of two types of tissue – fatty tissue, and glandular tissue.

Both overlie the pectoral muscles on your chest. The fatty tissue determines your boob size, and the connective tissue and ligaments give your boobs their overall shape.

For many reasons, your connective tissue may worsen and your ligaments will start to stretch, causing your boobs to sag.

Eventually (sob) our lovely, once-pert, boobs are going to drop or start to sag.

Whether it’s down to ageing, menopause, weight loss, or because you’ve had a baby, there will come a time when you’ll face the so-called “boob drop.”

If it’s any consolation, breast sagging is completely natural and experienced by nearly all women.

It’s also not something to be ashamed of.

At mamabella we’re never critical of women’s bodies – we have sagging boobs, stretch marks, dark circles, and all the other wonderful things that come with age too – but we do understand the need to want to ‘fix’ them.

Or at least delay their onset.

If it’s something you’re worried about, or it’s impacting your self-esteem, we’ve put together a list of the best boob-lifting creams, serums, and lotions below.

We’ve previously spoken to Dr Ross, Medical Director of Cosmedics to get his expert advice on how to get rid of the boob drop, and you can read that here. We also have a list of firming creams that will do the job and have handpicked the best neck and chest creams. 

Best products for saggy boobs

The most important ingredient to look for when it comes to firming your skin is B3 or niacinamide, which will help to improve the elasticity of your skin and reduce wrinkles.

Here are the best products we’ve found for helping to tick these boxes.

1. Editor’s Pick: Bloom and Blossom Lovely Jubbly Gel

£30 | Buy now

Bloom and Blossom Lovely Jubbly GelBloom and Blossom

This Bloom and Blossom gel will help to shape, tone, and firm your neck, making your skin look plumper. If you have crepiness on your chest, this gel will help to smooth out your skin and make it look firmer and less saggy.

Although to get the best results, you’re going to want to use this product daily.

This bust-firming gel contains co-enzyme Q10, which helps support collagen production in the skin, making your skin appear firmer.

There’s also Quince-hydrogel, which helps support your skin’s natural lipid production (the bit that keeps your skin feeling firm and toned).

Finally, it has Angelica Root Oil which helps boost the radiance of the skin on your chest.

The only downside we found with this boob-firming gel is the smell of the product isn’t the best. It’s a little flowery, which suits the name of the brand of course, but this makes it a bit overpowering.

2. Budget Buy: The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide Powder

£5 | Buy now

The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide PowderThe Ordinary

This isn’t a cream in its own right. Instead, The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide is a powder you mix with your current moisturiser.

Niacinamide is an ingredient that has been shown to be fantastic for the skin on your chest and boobs.

It helps improve your complexion by smoothing textural irregularities, as well as helping to minimise your skin being oily.

You can personalise how much you mix in with your water-soluble moisturiser or face cream. All you need to do is to mix about a quarter scoop in the palm of your hand into the moisturiser you already own.

This can also be a much more affordable way to introduce boob-lifting cream to your routine.

3. Luxury Buy: B-Perky Firming Mask by Maelys

£49 | Buy now

B-Perky Firming Mask by MaelysMaelys

The clues are in the title for the B-Perky Firming Mask from Maelys and while it’s expensive, you most certainly get what you pay for.

Not only does this boob-lifting cream help revive your skin’s natural elasticity and improve the overall appearance of your bust area, but it will also cleanse your skin, reduce redness and give the area a lovely glow.

This chest-firming mask has gone through clinical trials and consumer testing, which has shown that after 28 days of use your skin should look firmer and smoother.

The Palmitoyl Isoleucine works to firm up your skin and the Kigelia Africana will help give a tighter look to your loose skin. Finally, the Jojoba Oil will leave your skin feeling smooth and looking more radiant.

Please note, though, that this mask is specifically designed for your boobs, so don’t go using it on your face!

It’s also not possible, or certainly not easy to get this product in the UK so you’ll need to ship it over from the US. This will potentially add customs charges and shipping fees to the overall cost.

4. Best boob mask: Juicy Pair Boob and Bum Duo

£15 | Buy now

Best boob mask: Juicy Pair Nourishing Boob and Bum DuoInc.Redible

Packed with Vitamin C, antioxidants, and a slice of watermelon extract – plus a pinch of pure peach for the bum cream – this double-use mask will help make the skin on both your bum and your boobs more hydrated and moisturised, making it less likely to sag.

This is a great product if you want to make the fine lines on your boobs less noticeable.

All you need to do with this product is cleanse your boobs with warm water, let them dry, and then lay the mask taught over each boob. With the arch of the watermelon under each of your nipples.

Unlike most boob-firming products this one targets the boobs, rather than the chest area.

We love the cheeky design of this product, with its watermelon and peach-shaped sheets. Who said getting rid of boob and bum sag can’t be fun!

As well as toning your skin and improving elasticity, this neck cream from Prai gives your skin a lovely glow.

It uses so-called Sepilift technology, as well as hyaluronic acid to lift and tighten sagging skin, reduce fine lines and help improve any crepiness.

This cream feels really luxurious and is really easy to apply.

The Shea Butter and squalane ingredients help to trap in the moisture, leaving your skin feeling hydrated long after you’ve applied it.

There’s also the added benefit of reducing the appearance of age spots thanks to the addition of mulberry, saxifrage, and grapeseed extracts.

6. Best boob pads: Booby Tape Silicone Chest Pad 

£23 | Buy now

Booby Tape Anti-Wrinkle Silicone Chest Pad Booby Tape

The Booby Tape Anti-Wrinkle Silicone Chest Pad does exactly what it says on the tin.

It’s a sticky pad that you put on your chest, in between your boobs. It’s made from silicone, which has lots of benefits for the skin around your boobs because it prevents wrinkles by increasing collagen formation.

It also increases your skin’s elasticity and helps to restore its natural glow.

We prefer to wear this pad at night because that’s when our chest area is most creased. You can instead wear this pad for 30 minutes in the daytime, making it quick and easy to get in your daily boob-lifting fix.

To get the best results, you’ll want to use a silicone chest pad about 3-4 times per week. You can read more about the benefits of these pads in our science of silicone patches.

We also recommend the Oia Skin patches. They’re more expensive but we have a unique MAMABELLA discount code should you want to use it, to get 10% off. This depends on your budget and needs.

What causes “boob drop”?

Saggy-boobs-how-to-beat-boob-drop-and-get-perky-boobs-back-with-and-without-surgeryGetty Images/iStockphoto

Although there are many causes for your breasts changing shape, in all instances it’s gravity you can blame for your boob drop.

“As we age, it’s only natural for skin to lose its elasticity and moisture levels,” Dr Ross Perry, Medical Director of Cosmedics told mamabella.

“This includes our breasts because the skin is very sensitive and thin; it contains fewer sebaceous glands and limited melanocytes meaning it’s more easily damaged.” But you can prevent your breast ligaments from stretching as much, or at least make it look less obvious.

Firstly a good-fitting bra is an absolute must. This will help support your breasts and prevent your ligaments from stretching over time. Make sure (as we always recommend at mamabella) to not skimp on the SPF. Damage from the sun will make your chest look much older prematurely.

Smoking is also something to be avoided, for all the obvious health reasons, but also because it will damage the skin on and around your boobs.

Another natural way to boost your pectoral muscles (which your boobs rest on) is by doing push-ups or using a bench press to give them a boost.

What is a boob mask and do I need one?

You’re likely familiar with using a face mask to help the skin of your face and a boob mask is no different.

Unlike the skin on your face, the skin on your chest and around your boobs has fewer hair follicles and oil glands. This makes the skin more sensitive.

Women’s chest areas and saggy boobs have been largely overlooked when it comes to keeping our skin looking younger for longer, probably because they’re under our clothes. But a boob mask is a really easy option to help make your boobs perkier, supple, and hydrated.

The stick-on ones are particularly great to wear at night because when you sleep, particularly if you sleep on your front or on your side, the skin on your chest area will fold or crease. This means fine lines or wrinkles are more likely to appear and deepen in this area. However, by wearing a boob mask you can help stretch out your skin, helping to keep it smoother.

The benefit of using a boob mask, in a cream form, is the ingredients can help draw moisture into your skin. They can also increase elasticity, help to smooth out your wrinkles and repair any damaged skin.

What’s not to love? You apply the product to your skin, wait for it to dry and once it starts cracking, remove it with warm water and a flannel. Much like you would do if applying a face mask.
