The Boots 24 Days of Luxe Beauty Advent Calendar has received more than a dozen five-star reviews. One shopper said: "Such a great variety of products, so many of them full sizes - definitely worth the price." Another wrote: "The best mix of products ever. I think I'm going to use everything here except for the moisturisers, they're too greasy for my skin type. But other than that everything else is great and totally worth purchasing."
The products can be gifted on to friends and family if not suited to everyone's taste, with one reviewer noting the calendar is "really beautiful, larger than I was expecting" and plans to use it for storage after Christmas.
