Marks & Spencer launches £50 beauty advent calendar packed with over £300 worth of products

While many beauty advent calendars have already hit the market this year—with some even selling out—shoppers have undoubtedly been eagerly awaiting one in particular. The Marks & Spencer beauty advent calendar has earned a reputation as one of the best high-street options over recent years.

Finally, the much-anticipated haul is available today (October 24), both online and in-store. This year's calendar is brimming with over £300 worth of makeup, skincare, fragrance and more from the M&S beauty hall. It contains 25 products, 11 of which are full-sized, perfect for treating yourself all the way to December 25.

Shoppers can expect to find a blend of familiar and new brands to discover, with products from Clinique, Benefit, REN, Prai and more tucked away inside. However, unlike most calendars where you can simply pre-order or purchase the calendar, M&S's approach is slightly different.

Instead of buying outright, customers can secure the advent calendar for £50 when they spend £35 on clothing, home and beauty. Here's the complete list of products in the Marks and Spencer Beauty Advent Calendar 2024:

While having to spend £35 to qualify to buy the calendar may be a downside for some, for others, it could be the perfect excuse to get some Christmas shopping done or the opportunity to find your festive party look for the season.

If you're on the hunt for some fashion inspiration, this Leather Look Metallic Midi A-Line Skirt is a steal at £35 and is guaranteed to turn heads at the Christmas do. Alternatively, these £55 Sequin Elasticated Waist Wide Leg Trousers are perfect for nailing that party-ready look, reports the Mirror.

For something a bit more snug, why not opt for this £35 Cloud-Yarn Fairisle Roll Neck Jumper? It's ideal for festive markets or channelling your inner Taylor Swift at a Christmas tree farm. Or maybe these Pure Cotton Revere Pyjamas, which ooze spa day relaxation and make a fantastic gift.

This year presents a wealth of options, with a host of brands launching beauty advent calendars, including Sephora and Harvey Nichols, both valued over £1,000. Or you can snap up the M&S beauty advent calendar for £50 when you spend £35 here.
