Affordable beauty advent calendars you can get from Sephora this Christmas for under £80

Beauty enthusiasts are in for a treat this Christmas as Sephora has launched two new affordable, limited-edition advent calendars, both available now for under £80 - and costing at least half the face value of what their contents are worth.

The Sephora Collection Moving Lights Advent Calendar, and the Moving Lights Premium Advent Calendar, are both packed with 24 days worth of goodies, including makeup, skincare, bath and accessory products.

Inside, you'll discover a treasure trove of coveted items, from bath-time luxuries and make-up must-haves, to essential skincare and fabulous fragrances.

The standard Moving Lights Calendar includes a bonus exclusive surprise on the final day, while the Premium option comes with a stylish metal tin that you can store all your daily treats in once Christmas is over.

The Premium advent calendar also features 15 standard-sized products, alongside four travel-sized items and five accessories. And what's more, each individual box in the Premium advent calendar has a QR code you can scan, which will take you to an exclusive Instagram tutorial each day.

Best of all are the prices of Sephora's 2024 advent calendars, saving you a hefty chunk of money compared to the brand's official Favourites Advent Calendar, which is retailing for £199.

The Moving Lights Advent Calendar contains items worth £99, but is available for half of its face value, at just £49.99. And the Premium edition offers an even bigger saving, with 55% off its face value - retailing for £79.99, but with £177 worth of product inside, meaning you save almost £100.

While there is still a month to go before Sephora fans can get stuck into these new advent calendars, shoppers have been rushing to get their hands on them early, and are already giving the festive items five-star reviews purely based on their appearance, reports OK! magazine.

One customer who picked up the standard Moving Lights Advent Calendar, for £49.99, called it the "best value calendar", and wrote: "Beautiful packaging and really good value for what you get!"

And those who have splashed out on the Premium edition are already saying they "absolutely love it", with one writing: "Can't wait to open it in December. The packaging looks bright and fun."

Another added: "Such good value, and love the tin and concept this year.", while a third penned: "Absolutely love it as usual, buy advents every year."
