Victoria Beckham fans race to buy advent calendar containing her 'secret' to young skin at 50-years-old

by · Manchester Evening News

The coveted celebrity-loved skincare brand Augustinus Bader saw some of their most sought-after products featured in a number of advent calendars from high-end retailers last year, including Space NK, Liberty and Cult Beauty. This year, the brand has taken festivities into their own hands, releasing their very own 12 Days of Bader countdown, promising devotees a luxury skincare routine.

Packed with reputable science-driven skincare must-haves, the Augustinus Bader calendar is available for £445 and boasts products valued at over £530. Its impressive lineup includes The Rich Cream - a favourite of stars like Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber - with its 30ml bottle valued at £145 on its own. Designed with powerful vitamin A and the unique Trigger Factor Complex, The Rich Cream aims to visibly diminish ageing signs like wrinkles, lines, and uneven skin tone.

As well as the cult-loved cream, customers can find other premium products such as the Body Cream and Face Oil, priced at £76 for 100ml and £73 for 10ml, respectively, as well as The Serum - which is a hit with Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hauge.

The Manchester-based TV star described it as "one of my favourite products from Augustinus Bader" in a recent video, adding: "The whole Augustinus Bader skincare line is just insane". Laden with key ingredients designed to promote cellular renewal and repair, it delivers noticeable improvements to the skin, reports the Mirror.

Then there's The Tinted Balm - a unique collaboration with film director Sofia Coppola. Made with shea butter, this tinted, non-sticky balm offers a hint of colour and soothes dry lips. Natural plumping agents lock in moisture, with 92 per cent of trial participants agreeing their lips looked softer, smoother and plumper, with plumpness proven to increase by 15 per cent.

Wondering what else is inside? Here's the full list of contents for the 12 Days of Bader advent calendar:

  • The Cream Cleansing Gel (30ml) - £21
  • The Essence (30ml) - £23
  • The Tinted Balm in 'Shade 1' (4g) - £33
  • The Rich Cream (30ml) - £145
  • The Cream (15ml) - £74
  • The Face Oil (10ml) - £73
  • The Eye Patches (3g) - £18
  • The Body Cream (100ml) - £76
  • The Retinol Serum (7ml) - around £70
  • The Cream (3ml)
  • The Serum (7ml)

Now, as the products are at a higher price point, this calendar is certainly better suited to people who already know and love the brand, or who want to give their collection a go at a lower price than the RRP. However, there are a couple of calendars that feature Augustinus Bader products this year, while offering a little more variety, such as Liberty’s, which stars a 15ml bottle of The Rich Cream. Cult Beauty also featured the cream, but their calendar has since sold out.

Elsewhere, there are more budget-friendly beauty calendars available, including the likes of LookFantastic with their £100 offering, and ASOS’s £95 calendar. Cheaper still are the calendars from Revolution , who recently reduced their calendar to under £40, and Boots, whose Macmillan calendar has been slashed from £90 to £44 .
