Advent calendars are one of the hottest holiday beauty trends in 2018. So many brands and retailers are doing them and it’s understandable, since the sets benefit both the buyer, seller, and ultimate recipient in so many ways. In addition to the extensiveness of the products in the Holiday Beauty 2018 Advent Calendars, there’s a thrilling element of surprise that goes along with trying out a slew of new items while counting down the days of this joyous and festive season. That’s to say nothing of the response of the person who receives one as a gift.
These multi-product sets can feature a large selection of items from a single brand or they can include different offerings from a variety of brands. Regardless, they allow you to test-drive and potentially find your new beauty or self-care Holy Grail.
The packaging is often altogether stunning and can function like a piece of holiday decor, as well. Some are merely aesthetically pleasing while others are actually and fully functional.
Advent Calendars usually come with a pretty steep price tag. However, consider that upwards of 12 to 24 products are included and the fact that the overall cost is discounted and ultimately much lower than if you were to purchase these products individually. Therefore, Advent Calendars end up being incredibly economical.
