GLOSSYBOX'S advent calendar is one of the most popular beauty advent calendars on the market, and shoppers flock to buy it every year.
Luckily, I managed to pull some strings and get my hands on this year's Glossybox advent calendar in advance of the launch date to see how it compares to previous years, as well as other rivalThe Glossybox advent calendar features two drawers containing boxes filled with beauty delights, as well as a top section to access by lifting the lidDrawers are hard to pull out to reach the boxes near the back, without pulling out the entire drawerEver since I was a child I've loved advent...
I noted the products included, any duplications, the brands featured, any new items or bestselling products included, as well as the design and structure of the advent itself. Unsurprisingly it's larger than a standard chocolate advent, and quite heavy, though it is more compact than other pop-out beauty calendar designs.The bundle includes a mix of 29 full size and travel size items across all beauty categories and brands, which is pretty impressive.
After years of opening Glossybox's beauty advent calendar every year my expecations are high, but for 2024 the retailer has truly upped the ante. Pull open the pastel printed doors and you will find 29 beauty essentials — more than many competitors — which can be divided into 18 full size and 11 deluxe size items
It also means you can take those smaller versions of products on holiday, or throw them in your bag to take to the office or gym. Although the palette is not sold separately, similar palettes from Iconic can retail for £47 and above, which is over half the price of the entire 29-piece calendar — just in case you needed convincing this is a bargain
While the set is better than including merely a single eyeshadow brush in the advent calendar, like other competitors, I would have liked it slotted in earlier on in December. The drawers containing double items to look out for, include 4, 13, 22, and 23. These double delights are logical pairings and prove Glossybox has paid extra attention to detail with this year's advent calendar.
Similarly, Made By Mitchell's Blursh Lights Liquid Highlighter, in Shade Drip Drip, appears silver on the first application, but blends into a stubborn glitter that is hard to wash off.Now, I know these shades are festive and align with the glitz and glam of dazzling Christmas parties or sparkling New Years Eve celebrations.
There is no time limit as to when you can sign up to be a Glossybox subscriber, so if you are desperate to get your hands on the Glossybox advent calendar before anyone else, you can still do so before the general sale. In previous years I have seen some advent calendars re-sell on other websites, such as eBay, Vinted and Depop, but I would urge you to avoid them because you never know if it is legit, or if the products have been tampered with.Glossybox beauty advent calendar
