“I always start my cleansing routine with a cleansing oil and the Erborian Centella Cleansing Oil is so gentle, yet it breaks down every little bit of make-up, skincare and SPF. Korean skincare is so on trend right now and there’s a reason why; it’s because it’s fantastic. Trust me, you’ll be obsessed with how clean and smooth your skin feels.” Gatineau Collagene Expert Ceramide Smoothing Cream 15ml travel size, RRP £24
Ceramides help to smooth, plump and strengthen the skin

Hannah has used this brow gel for years

The perfect festive shade of red
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“This is the most beautiful red – and if in doubt, chuck on a red lippy, right? It’s perfect for any festive party. You can wear it alone, buffed in with a bit of lip gloss, or I love to fill in my entire lip with that luscious red for a matte, long-wearing beautiful red tone to see right through your celebrations.” Ciaté London Illuminating Blush in shade Sweet Kiss 5g full size, RRP £22
A pretty, shimmery pink blush
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“This blush is simply stunning. A soft pink with flecks of gold, it illuminates, it brightens, it suits every skin tone and it leaves the most beautiful, almost airbrushed, finish to the skin.” Kosas Weightless Lip Colour in shade Turned On 3g full size, RRP £25
Lightweight and hydrating
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“This a universally flattering neutral lip colour and has a really beautiful creamy texture that leaves lips feeling hydrated and looking really supple. And as the name alludes, it is completely weightless, so you don’t really feel like you’re wearing it, and it’s really comfortable.” Nail Kind Nail Polish in shade Wine O’Clock 8ml full size, RRP £8.95
A great shade with a great name
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“I love this nail polish for the name alone – but what festive mani isn’t complete without a gorgeous deep burgundy red? The formula is brilliantly long-wearing – no chipping here – and your fingernails will pop in every festive outfit. Dare I say we nailed it…?” Commodity Fragrances Gold Expressive 5ml travel size, RRP £20
A warm vanilla and amber scent
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“This is the most beautiful, decadent amber scent. I have loved vanilla-y fragrances since I started wearing fragrance; this is beautiful worn alone and it’s also brilliant for layering, so you can put your personal touch on it – and, like all fragrances, it smells slightly different on everybody.” Delilah Stay the Night Smooth Shadow Stick in shade Honey Moon 1.4g full size, RRP £23
Hannah always has eyeshadow sticks in her make-up kit
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“Longwear shadow sticks are an absolute staple of mine – I rarely do an eye without one. It’s smooth, it’s creamy, it glides on and once it’s dried, that’s it, it’s not budging.” Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil 55ml full size, RRP £58
Worth an impressive £58 on its own
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“Beauty is so much more than just how you look, it’s also about how you feel, so this is a really good reminder just to take a couple of deep breaths, take in the aromatics and unwind. Aromatherapy Associates are so highly regarded and award-winning leaders in the wellness space and the aromatics are next level, which is why I really wanted a full-size bottle of this gorgeous bath and shower oil.” Sensory Retreats Sensory Sleep Self-Heating Eye Mask One mask, RRP £3.95
This gently warms up when opened
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)

They heat up when you open them; place them over your eyes and I promise you in moments you’ll drift off into a gorgeous deep sleep.” LH Cosmetics Crayon in shade Black + Sharpener 1.2g full size, RRP £18
Smooth to apply and doesn’t drag
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“This crayon is smooth, it doesn’t drag, it blends beautifully and it lasts really well. I often use it as a base for my smokey eyes and it comes with a really handy pencil sharpener. Great for your make-up bag, it has a cover so none of your sharpenings get lost in your make-up bag and make everything sooty and dirty. This may just be your new favourite. It’s waterproof too so it’s designed to last all day, and it’s genius in the waterline.” Seoulista Beauty Super Hydration Instant Facial One sheet mask, £8.39
Hannah says this gives Botox-like results
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“My favourite compliment after using this once was from a lady called Emma at Delamar Academy, when I was teaching make-up – she looked at me and said, “Hannah, my goodness, have you had some Botox?” Now, this was in the deepest darkest lockdown. I said, “No Emma, I’ve just used my Seoulista Beauty Instant Facial.” Once you’ve used the mask there’s still so much serum left in the packet – keep hold of it and use it another time.” Lucky dip of either L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Mascara or Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara
You’ll receive one of these two L’Oréal mascaras inside
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“I knew I needed a really stunning mascara for my advent calendar with OK! Beauty Box but I couldn’t decide – so I chose two. Every advent calendar has one of these two mascaras and they are two that I use all the time.” L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Mascara in shade Magnetic Black 8ml full size, £11.99 “You’re in for a treat if you love a long, delicate, lengthened lash. The comb is ever so slim; it captures every single lash and coats it in deliciously black mascara for a very flirty looking lash.” L’Oréal Paris Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara in shade Black 10ml full size, RRP £12.99 “You are in for a volumising treat with this one. This comb is so large, it creates a beautiful fanned effect with your lashes and you can just keep building until you have the thickest, most luscious-looking lashes.” ESPA Bergamot and Jasmine Body Wash 75ml travel size, RRP £6
With an invigorating scent

“I love aromatics – I find smells really evocative – and what better way to start your day than with an invigorating shower and this beautiful scent. It not only cleanses but also leaves your skin smelling great.” Hildun Beauty Silk to Set Kajal Liner in shade Chocolate 1.2g full size, RRP £16
A long-time favourite of Hannah’s
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“It’s no secret that I love a smokey eye and I love Hildun – and this is the perfect product for achieving the quickest and easiest smoky eye looks. The kajal is so incredibly soft; you need no pressure when applying this, so you get no dragging, none of that scrubbing at the lash line. Once you’ve applied it and gently blended it, it dries completely so won’t budge.” Percy & Reed Time to Shine Eau My! Shine & Fragrance Spray 50ml full size, RPP £12
Delivering shine and scent
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)

A full size tub of this rich overnight balm
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“If, like me, you love the idea of drenching your skin in really rich hydration but simply can’t do that in the morning before make-up because it will all slide off, this is the perfect, really rich, overnight balm.” Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum 7ml travel size, RRP £13.53
You’ll also get two top Ole Henriksen products inside
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“With 15% vitamin c you can get significantly brighter and bouncier skin fast. I prefer to use my actives in the evening but if you like your vitamin C in the morning just be sure to put your SPF on top.” Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer 7ml travel size, RRP £5.88 “This moisturiser is packed full of peptides to help strengthen and moisturise your skin. In my forties, I’ve become reliant on peptides because they really do help to rebuild the foundations of the skin, and that’s why I was desperate for you all to have a peptide cream in my advent calendar.” ESPA Bergamot and Jasmine Body Lotion 75ml travel size, RRP £6.30
Hannah loves this fragrant body lotion
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“As a terminal sufferer of dry skin I really rely on body lotions and this ESPA Body Lotion not only smells beautiful but it’s really lightweight. It absorbs really quickly so there’s no hanging around waiting for it to sink in before you can get dressed.” Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate 10ml travel size, RRP £21.67
An award-winning serum loved by beauty professionals
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“This is one of my all-time favourite skincare products. I use it pretty much every day so I’m delighted to have it in my advent calendar.

It really is at the forefront of cutting-edge Japanese skincare technology.” Rodial Glass Powder 5.5g travel size, RRP £29
‘The perfect setting powder’ says Hannah
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“This translucent loose powder is the perfect setting powder. Great for setting under eye concealer, fantastic for setting the T-zone too. You can bake with it as well if you so wish or, if like me, you prefer a little less powder, just a bit of this on a fluffy brush is going to keep your make-up in place all day.” Origins Ginzing Energizing Gel Cream 75ml full size, RRP £38.50
Another full size skincare product
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“Origins is such a beloved brand and this cream is excellent for those days when your skin doesn’t feel quite as dehydrated, or if you prefer something a little bit more lightweight if you have a propensity to slightly oilier skin.” 19/99 Beauty Precision Colour Pencil in shade Neutra 1.1g full size, RRP £19
Wear on its own or with lipstick or gloss
(Image: Dennis Pedersen)
“The texture of this pencil is so smooth and creamy; it glides on the lips like a dream. I love to use this even if I’m just wearing a clear gloss. You can also wear it with a deeper-toned lipstick, but it’s actually the perfect partner for your new Kosas lipstick.” The Beauty Advent Calendar by Hannah Martin in association with OK!
