Beauty advent calendar season is well and truly upon us. Despite the first day of advent being a little way off, now is the time to snap up a beauty advent calendar.
There is such a lot of hype around them at the moment and everyone is bringing their A-game. With calendars to suit a range of budgets and beauty lovers alike, it can be tough deciding which to spend your hard-earned cash on.
This is post is about one beauty calendar in particular and that is, of course, the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar. This is the first year Cult Beauty have brought out a calendar and oh my goodness what a beauty it is! They have done an incredible job from everything to the packaging to every treat inside. You won’t find any filler products in this baby. Every single day has a fab product by some of the amazing brands that they stock.
The calendar costs an eye-watering £195 which is pretty steep I feel. It has an overall value of over £680 which when you take that into account it’s a good saving. When the calendar launched it sold out in under two hours which is crazy! I fully expected it to sell out however I never anticipated it would be so quickly. I’m hoping they might restock at a later date in case anyone who missed out gets a chance to buy it.
Ok, so let’s just take a second to appreciate how stunning the packaging is. I adore the crystal-like design with beautiful blue, pink and lilac tones. It is a ridged card structure with two doors that open at the front. Inside you will find 25 drawers randomly placed throughout, some in varying sizes. Day 25 is a super-sized drawer packed with extra treats for the big day. Oh, Cult Beauty how you spoil us.
Warning! Warning! Spoilers Lie Ahead
Now it’s time to delve in and take a closer look at the treats behind each day. I will detail them in the order they are to be opened.

Cult Beauty have really taken out all of the stops with this calendar. I really don’t know how I will manage to wait until December 1st to start opening this! The temptation to open and keep them all now is so strong. Must. Not. Open!

I bought FAR too many advent calendars (I just kept justifying it by telling myself I could do an unboxing video on my channel 🙈😂). I’m trying to drastically cut down this year but this one looks fab 😍 expensive but I agree that you get a lot for your money!

Wow that looks amazing! It is a little bit on the pricier side but for that amount of products I definitely think it’s worth it. Day 25 looks amazing, I really hope they restock because I need this x
Okay. This is possibly the best advent I’ve seen! So much good stuff in there!

I’m kind of reading this with my eyes half shut as I’m still really tempted to buy it but don’t want to know everything in it! x
This was one of the best ones this year for sure x
This one seems like a really fantastic calendar for this year! 😀 On a side note, I’ve just noticed I used the same canva template for my Pinterest image for my last 2 posts lol
