The limited-edition Glossybox advent calendar contains over 29 beauty treats (Image: Daily Mirror/Melisha Kaur)As the festive season draws near, OK!’s beauty team has been busy reviewing the best beauty advent calendars on offer, and the latest Glossybox Advent Calendar is definitely one to get excited about. Retailing at £85 (or £70 for subscribers), it’s packed with £585 worth of beauty treats – a saving of a massive £515 if you were to buy everything separately. The calendar contains 25 boxes neatly packed into three drawers, with some days offering more than one product, totalling 29 items in all. Inside, you’ll find 18 full size and 12 deluxe size goodies, including some best-sellers that you’ll want to use straight away. The design is luxurious, featuring pastel marble patterns, metallic gold details and pink ribbons.

The only downside is its size and weight, which might be an issue for those with limited space. However, the fun of opening the boxes and the fact that you can reuse the main box for storage after Christmas makes up for it.

As a skincare enthusiast, I was thrilled to find Medik8 in this limited edition Glossybox. The Hydr8 B5 serum, valued at £45, is incredibly lightweight and suitable for all skin types, instantly hydrating the complexion. There are also plenty of must-haves for your makeup bag, including Pixi’s LipGlow in the shade ‘Fleur’. This tinted balm felt nourishing on the lips, and the subtle pink hue is simply dreamy. With the cold weather, it’s crucial to care for your skin, and Glossybox has us covered with the Aveeno Skin Relief Body Oil Spray and a mini version of Rituals’ Ayurveda Body Lotion. My favourite was the Rituals product, which had a sweet scent of Indian rose. If you want all your beauty needs met this festive season, the Glossybox calendar is perfect – I found it well worth its £85 price tag. Want to know exactly what’s inside?
