Definitely worth keeping after December has passed, it could double up as a jewellery box or dressing table storage solution. Something we loved.
GLAMOUR’s product highlights:
I’ve tried a lot of Charlotte Tilbury products in my time, and am pleased to report that a fair few of my faves have made it into this advent calendar. And even the ones I haven’t yet tried have been sitting on my wish-list for a while.
Infused with Cushion Mesh technology, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C + E and a plumping peptide complex, Charlotte’s Magic Cream is my favourite moisturiser to apply before make-up thanks to its firming, plumping, and priming properties. And in terms of make-up, a spritz of the AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray has been the trusty final step in my make-up routine for a good couple of years now. It’s completely invisible when applied, and this mini travel-size version is ideal for slinging in your Loewe handbag.
The product I’m most excited to try? It has to be the Beauty Light Wand in Pinkgasm. A social media sensation, it’s foolproof to apply, and leaves behind a pearlescent rosy-pink glow that dazzles when the light hits. Best of all, it’s a full-size product.
How is the Charlotte Tilbury calendar different to other advent calendars?
In 2024, we’re pretty spoilt for choice when it comes to alternative advent calendars — but this one is different from many of the rest in a few key ways.
For starters, Charlotte Tilbury is one of only a few beauty brands to produce their own advent calendar — rather than simply be included in one that’s been curated by the likes of LookFantastic, Cult Beauty, or Sephora. So, as long as you love the brand, you’re unlikely to find any products in this Charlotte Tilbury chest that you aren’t somewhat interested in trying out.
Also, the twelve individual drawers aren’t numbered — so it’s less obvious that it’s actually an advent calendar, and could therefore just as easily be given to a loved one as a luxurious beauty gift set for Christmas.
The verdict: Is Charlotte Tilbury’s advent calendar worth it?
In short; yes. It’s pretty pricey, but the fact that it includes so many travel-size products means it’s an ideal gift for those looking to try out as many different Charlotte Tilbury products as possible — without having to fork out for full-sizes. Plus, it gives you access to a surprising number of the brand’s big-name best-sellers — like the Beauty Light Wand, AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray, and Charlotte’s Magic Cream.
