The past couple of years I haven’t had an advent calendar so this year I decided to treat myself to a beauty advent calendar from Birchbox. It cost me £85 but it has £460 worth of products inside! Some things are full size products while others are smaller versions of the full-size product.
Here are the favourite products I received:
- Day 1 - PawPaw over night lip mask (seriously this stuff is magic!)
- Day 2 - Evolve superfood 360 serum
- Day 6 - Revolution highlighter
- Day 7 - Balance Me, Radiance face oil, roll-on
- Day 8 - Dr Eve_Ryouth night moisturiser (currently don’t have a night moisturiser)
- Day 13 - Jade Gua Sha facial stone (to go with my face oil)
- Day 14 - Beauty Works comb and heat protection blowdry crème
- Day 19 - BYBI Blueberry Booster facial oil
- Day 20 - Philip Kingsley deep conditioning treatment (to use before washing my hair) plus a Mudmasky vitamin-A booster blue clay mask
- Day 22 - Nuxe dry oil
- Day 23 - Nail Kind Strenghener - vegan and naturally sourced products
- Day 25 - Kate Somerville, DeliKate Soothing toner
I really liked this advent calendar and it’s given me some great products to make my daily skincare routine a bit more luxurious as well as products to use throughout 2026 as self-care treats.
