In this instalment of our #BUROHolidayBeautyGiftGuide, find out where to shop the most coveted gift of the season—the beauty advent calendar.
PSA: The festive season is just right around the corner. As we do every year, we’re here with your friendly reminder to get organised. Don’t worry—this is not a threat. It is, however, a warning.
If there are any absolute truths we stand by, it’s this: Advent calendars are the first things to fly off the shelves. You may think you’re safe—that you’ve got the rest of November to cop your countdown companion before Christmas comes around! Well, you’re wrong.
The beauty advent calendar rollout has already begun, and stocks are depleting at an alarming rate. So, if you want to make sure you’ve secured your bag (or, rather, your calendar), you’ve got to check out ASAP.
Don’t worry, though—we’re not going to leave you to stress about this yourself. To help make your holiday shopping easier, we’ve curated the most worth-it advent calendars to shop this season so you can ensure you’re getting bang for your buck.
