[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I like this so much – much more than I expected to. It’s 12 doors rather than 25 (or the skimpy 24!) and each item is something you’d actually want which I’d far rather see than an advent full of ‘fillers’.

It’s just a very handsome thing really – the drawers have stars and moons as handles which is light catchy and pretty and they’re capacious. You could easily use the box to keep your makeup bits and bobs (or jewellery) in afterwards and it’s not going to look out of place on a dressing table or chest of drawers. The whole vibe of it isn’t particularly ‘advent’ which means it crosses all faiths and 12 doors brings it into the realms of Christmas gifts as well – what does it matter when it’s opened? It’s something that stands in its own right.

The products cover eyes, lips, face and skin – there are five full size products and six mini although the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray is counted as a mini so they’re not skimpy. As you’d imagine, Charlotte Tilbury 12 Day Advent is a value set (although still £150!) worth £245 HERE and it will, beyond a doubt, sell out fast. As previously mentioned, I never show all the products just in case you prefer some element of surprise, but top draws for me are the Colour Chameleon Pencil and Charlotte’s Magic Cream.

Honestly, I feel it’s a little bit magical (and I’m not easily drawn in by this brand!) – anyone, I think, would be happy with it. Cover it in fairy lights and embrace the pink 🙂
