Sephora Collection has launched its premium beauty advent calendar, priced at £67.45, positioning it as a mid-range option between luxury calendars and cheaper alternatives. The 24-product calendar holds items worth more than two and a half times its retail price, spanning make-up, skincare, hair and nail treats.
Designed with a younger market in mind, the calendar includes two pom pom accessories – a keyring and a hair clip – alongside an exclusive gingerbread-flavoured lip sleeping mask featuring a gingerbread man motif. Skincare offerings are gentle and barrier-friendly, including micellar water, a hyaluronic acid moisturiser and a mild peeling serum.
Make-up choices are largely school-appropriate, with a clear brow gel, lip butter and a travel-size setting spray containing vitamin C, which can be worn alone or over make-up. There are also more colourful additions such as sparkly eyeshadows and a ‘sunset shine’ luminiser, plus a hand mask for a distinctive twist.
The packaging comes in a sturdy, reusable tin, though the inner boxes are described as cluttered and lacking organisation – a minor drawback at this price point. Overall, it is singled out as a strong choice for parents seeking a mid-range beauty advent calendar for teenagers.
