In anticipation of the new season, brands are already spreading festive joy with the releases of their 2023 advent calendars.
Fans of Boots’ beauty department are in for a treat with a huge saving on beauty in the 2023 advent calendar.
While the iconic British retailer releases advent calendars every year, they usually feature a mixture of high-street and high-end brands.
For 2023, Boots has launched its first premium advent calendar, with a whole host of expensive products included.
The calendar costs £99 and is worth over £450, offering beauty fans a huge saving, and the chance to try some popular and expensive brands – but hurry as it’s only available while stocks last.

The premium advent calendar joins Boots’ 50 advent calendars, with shoppers able to choose from beauty, lifestyle, children’s, home and food calendars.
There are 24 days to open, each revealing a beauty treat, and there are 14 full-sized products and 10 miniatures – but the contents have been revealed already so the main surprise is the order of products.

It’s worth keeping in mind that some of the product sizes are small, so although they’re handy for sampling new brands, they won’t last ages.
One of the highlights of the calendar is the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, a highly-rated product worth £25, that thickens, lengthens and curls in just one coat.
Worth half the price of the whole calendar, the REN Clean Skincare Brightening Dark Circle Eye Cream usually costs £49 and is proven to brighten, hydrate and visibly reduce dark circles.
