Not yet disassembled: 10 best cosmetic advent calendars
MARGARITA VIROV
On the eve of the New Year holidays Many cosmetic brands and online stores release Advent calendars with gifts for every day: it’s a pleasure to give both to yourself and to your acquaintance. We show ten calendars that will not only brighten up the expectation of holidays, but also provide decent products.
Lumene 24 Arctic Beauty Treasures Advent Calendar
5900 rub. in the online store Lumene
The rebranding of a good Finnish brand was a success: Lumene comes out with a lot of pleasant funds, so that filling the calendar is unlikely to be useless. The set is already on sale in the brand's corner in St. Petersburg, and in November it will appear on the Golden Apple network and in the online store. Nineteen of the twenty-four miniatures of the products are a variety of care from the main lines of the brand: for example, peeling and tonic for the shine of the Nordic-C Valo, an excellent moisturizing Nordic Hydra Mask mask. There are products for the body, as well as five products for natural makeup and a nice bonus - a muslin towel for the face. In general, the ideal candidate for the designer of road cosmetics.
Net-A-Porter 25 Days of Beauty
£125
The first Net-A-Porter Advent Calendar does not have a palette of shadows or full-size lipstick, but there are caring products for rare or expensive brands in decent volumes. For example, creams Erno Laszlo and Dr. Barbara Sturm, Omorovicza Facial Cleanser, Dr. Acid Remedy Dennis Gross Skincare, Vitamin C Kat Burki, Chantecaille and Charlotte Tilbury masks and two Retinol products - Algenist serum and the blue night oil Sunday Riley. You can create a complete hair care: Philip Kingsley hair shampoo primer, Leonor Greyl shampoo, Sachajuan mask, indelible conditioners and styling products R + CO and Oribe. The most interesting thing about decorative cosmetics is, perhaps, the sculpting stick Illamasqua and the transparent eyebrow gel Lashfood. Surprise: in a black box with a black bow, not twenty-five, but twenty-seven funds (two mini-bottles fit in two cells).
Balmain Limited Edition Advent Calendar 2018
£140
One of the catchiest calendars with unusual content is the Balmain limited edition. We remind you that a fashion brand has a line of hair products - it has been filled with an expensive and attractive calendar house. Only ten items were put into it, but they all look more impressive than the placer of miniatures: salt spray for hair, conditioner and mask in the amount of 200 milliliters, shampoo and moisturizing conditioner in travel versions of 50 milliliters. And in the windows there are a beautiful scrunchy, a pocket mirror, a comb and a cotton towel, which will remain for a long memory of the holidays.
Lookfantastic
7300 rub.
Last year, the brand launched a luxurious calendar called Beauty in Wonderland, and in this the impressive box came out more traditional, but the content, as usual, is beyond praise. In the Lookfantastic set there are several full-size products and a bunch of miniatures, many products of the best-selling brands: First Aid Beauty repair cream, Illamasqua highlighter, GlamGlow mask. In the calendar of the online store there are also frankly entertaining means: look for the Lipstick Queen lipstick in the calendar for a rare and festive bright green tint that appears red on the lips.
Green People Green Regime Beauty Advent Calendar
£75
A mono-brand calendar from a rather rare segment: the Green People brand makes organic cosmetics and for its first advent it is worth paying attention to those for whom it is important that the products are not tested on animals and are constantly in search of good ethical cosmetics. An excellent basic set for face and body care and a few makeup products were put on the calendar: bright matte lipstick, soft shadows and full-size volumetric mascara. Ordering a calendar to Russia is difficult, but it will be delivered to the United States and European countries without problems.
ASOS The Face + Body Calendar
4690 rub.
The advent calendars of the great online store never fail: they remain on sale for a long time, they are easy to order to Russia and they are filled with excellent products in travel versions and miniatures. In the cosmetic bag there will probably be a hit corrector Dr. Jart + Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30, body lotion with shimmer and GlamGlow moisturizing cream with a nuisance of coconut. The composition of makeup products is a bit surprising: in the ASOS calendar you can find several products for shining with various effects at once - Benefit Hoola bronzer, radiant MAC Strobe Cream and its “lightweight” relative MAC Hydrant Lumineux.
Feelunique Advent Calendar 2018
6675 rub.
Another decent online store calendar is, in general, very similar to the Lookfantastic set, but will cost a bit less. At the same time, in twenty-four windows, they put quite a few expensive and absolutely luxury products: here, for example, there are Filorga and Charlotte Tilbury products. Budget bestsellers are also pleasing: Palmer's solid body balm, which many people like to catch on iHerb, as well as one of the best in the world of inexpensive palettes of Sleik MakeUp highlighters. What is nice, you can even find a couple of serums with the most fashionable active ingredients in the Feelunique calendar: retinol and vitamin C in low concentrations.
ClarinsMen Advent Calendar
5340 rub.
This year, Clarins offer not only an Advent calendar with the basic composition, but also a male version of the set - as you know, the brand has launched its own men's line of Clarins Men. In the bottom line, men's jars differ only in their harsh design and the lack of rich fragrances; otherwise, they are just good and working basic cosmetics that will suit all lovers of minimalism in care (and design). There is everything that can become necessary every day: moisturizers, cleanser, face oil, serum and other pleasures. Not enough protection from the sun.
Weleda Nature's Collection Advent Calendar
3006 rub.
Another mono-brand advent calendar with organic profile products. However, Weleda products are loved not only by supporters of ethical consumption - many of the beauties in the reserves will find almond cream, pomegranate shower gel or a universal balm. Advent Weleda will please a small - only twelve items - but with an excellent set, the emphasis in which is made on body care. Several lotions and body oils, shower gels with natural herbaceous fragrances are all that is needed in the winter when skin care is especially useful not only for the face.
NYC Professional Makeup Sugar Trip 24 Days Of Beauty Advent Calendar
4450 rub.
This list could not do without the already traditional NYX calendar: the funds of this budget brand acquired an army of fans, and the brand puts the most unusual colors and textures on the holiday sets. Last year, only lipsticks were included in the adventure kit, and this time the highlighter, rouge, and shadows reported to the luxury box. A set of colors as democratic as possible: you can enjoy the deadly and alien shades that NYX love so much, and you can put together the most basic nude makeup. The optimal calendar for joint order and subsequent ruin with friends.
