Just in case you didn’t know, an advent calendar is a special calendar we use to count the days of Advent (arrival) in expectation of Christmas. Many advent calendars are large and have ‘windows’ one for each day of December leading up to and including Christmas Eve. The ‘windows’ open to reveal an image, a poem or a small gift. Growing up I very often had a chocolate advent calendar and I remember I was so excited every time I was about to open a new ‘window’. Nowadays, advent calendars have become so versatile that anyone can find his/her perfect one based on their likes. And because my likes are all about makeup and pampering, today’s post is all about those extraordinary advents that make us feel a bit more special!
If you thought the countdown to the holidays couldn’t get more exciting, think again. Net-A-Porter’s advent calendar is stylish and really sophisticated and it’s the perfect gift for a loved one or beauty enthusiast. Packaged in their iconic black and cream colourway, one can expect everything from Marc Jacobs and Charlotte Tilbury makeup, to Philip Kingsley’s award-winning shampoo treatment!
