John Lewis beauty advent calendar is worth £933 but costs just £195

It contains 32 full and deluxe-sized beauty items

As the festive season approaches, numerous retailers are vying to offer the most impressive beauty advent calendars. The latest contender is John Lewis, presenting a selection that competes with some of the luxury options.

John Lewis launched its 2024 Christmas countdown online today (October 3), a bit later than many others which appeared in September. However, it's expected to be a hit among beauty enthusiasts. Priced at £195, the calendar boasts a value of £933.13, offering savings of over £700 on the RRP.

The calendar contains 32 full and deluxe-sized beauty items, including makeup, skincare, hair products, and fragrances, perfect for the party season and beyond. The brands included are impressive, featuring bestsellers from Charlotte Tilbury, Sol De Janeiro, Parfums de Marly, and more.

While the price of the John Lewis calendar remains the same as last year, the latest edition offers even greater value, with more products inside. Each item averages around £6.10, providing significant savings on some highly sought-after beauty favourites, reported the Mirror.
