Christmas Gifting 2023 – LUSH Christmas Buds Advent Calendar Review

[ad-pr – I was kindly gifted the below product as a press sample] 

Christmas is officially within sight, and with that, comes the excitement for the run up to the most wonderful time of the year. And if you're anything like me, you probably adore the run up to Christmas more than the day itself, and this is exactly why it's paramount to make sure you make the run up incredibly magical and special. 

When I was younger, my mum would always get me a chocolate advent calendar, but as I've grown up, I've been into advent calendars that are slightly more useful (and decadent, and fun, and festive), and that's exactly why I adore beauty advents. In years gone by I've had the Glossybox Advent and the L'Occitane Advent, but this year, I finally got my hands on one of LUSH's Advent Calendars, and boy oh boy is everything I envisioned and so much more.

With 25 products – one for every day up until Christmas, including the big day itself – this advent calendar is truly a treat to behold. Containing old favourites and new delights, the Christmas Buds Advent Calendar* – which retails at a hefty by justified £125 – has got it all. 

With the prettiest of designs, this advent is shaped like a beautiful little house, which seems to a be a theme for so many Christmassy designs this year. Bright red and full of charm, once you open the flaps, you'll discover 25 sections that are waiting to ripped open, delved into and explored. But what's inside? Scroll on to discover....
