John Lewis will never disappoint, especially when it comes to Christmas. And this year the team really exceeded our expectations, especially with the popular beauty advent calendar.
Recently the department store reported that there was a 400% increase in the number of customers searching for 'Beauty Advent Calendar' over the summer, confirming just how early shoppers are willing to start their Christmas shopping, giving us the impression that this specific edition won't last long.
A repeat purchase for many, this year's John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar is unlike any previous edition, featuring the retailer's largest product selection yet, 20 full-size items and appearances from a wide variety of major brands, including Kate Somerville, Nars, Votary, Spook and more.
As for the total value of the Advent calendar, the total amount is a whopping £933.13. This is one of the best value beauty advent calendars we've seen so far this year, on sale for £195 (a close second to Harrods' incredible offer worth £1,599 and on sale for just £250).

If we had to choose which items we'd most like to try in this epic lineup of beauty and skincare must-haves, we'd have to start with Murad's Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum. It's worth £89 and helps prevent and reduce wrinkles around the eyes using a blend of three strong but gentle retinols. In other words, say goodbye to bags under the eyes.
Another big player we're excited to try is Dermalogica's AGE Smart Biolumin-C Serum. If you were to buy this serum separately, it would cost you a whopping £96 for a 30ml bottle, making it the most expensive choice in the selection, and almost half the cost of this entire advent calendar. As a high-quality vitamin C serum, it contributes to brighter, firmer and more radiant skin.
There's also a deluxe sample of Kate Somerville's Goat Milk Moisturizing Cleanser, the perfect gentle facial cleanser for everyday use formulated to cleanse and soothe the skin without causing tightness or irritation, ideal for taking on the go or traveling .

As for the scent, there are three handbag-ready samples from Parfums de Marly, Ghost and Floral Street, among others. And on the makeup front, you can choose between trying Laura Mercier's Caviar Stick Eyeshadow for a creamy, blendable and long-lasting formula, Rodial's Glass Primer for the perfect, hydrating facial base, or NARS' iconic and super-pigmented Blush (and more) .
And if that's not enough, there's a £500 gift voucher for 10 lucky customers to spend at John Lewis, hidden behind door 25.
