With dozens of beauty advent calendars having already launched this year - some even sold out - many shoppers may have already ordered their Christmas countdown. Meanwhile, others will no doubt have been holding out for one in particular.

The Marks & Spencer beauty advent calendar has earned a reputation for being one of the best high street offerings in recent years. And finally, the long-awaited haul has hit the shelves today (October 24), both online and in store.

This year, the calendar is filled with more than £300 worth of makeup, skincare, fragrance and more from the M&S beauty hall. Inside there are 25 products, 11 of which are full sized, perfect for pampering your way through to December 25.

Shoppers can expect to find a number of familiar and new brands to discover, with products from Clinique, Benefit, REN, Prai and more tucked inside. But unlike most calendars where you can simply pre-order or purchase the calendar, M&S’s is slightly different. Instead of ordering outright, customers can buy the advent calendar for £50 when they spend £35 on clothing, home and beauty.
