*WARNING. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW THE CONTENTS OF THE ADVENT CALENDAR, STOP READING NOW.*

We’re four advent calendars down with still so many to go (catch up on my 2023 Advent Beauty Calendar reveals here, here and here). This week, we’re checking out what’s in the Sephora UK Advent Calendar for 2023!

Sephora landed on our shores a little over a year ago or so now, bringing along some of the most popular and highly praised brands around the world. I’ve been a huge fan of the brand for many years now, so was absolutely stoked when I found out they were finally coming to the UK! This season marks their next beauty advent calendar offering, and boy are you in for a treat. Let’s get into it:

• Called the SEPHORA FAVOURITES box, the advent calendar comes in priced at £189, with the products contained worth over £1045.
• The calendar is filled with 36 products, with 23 products being full sized which is amazing.
• 18 of the brands are exclusive to Sephora

One thing to note: it contains BEYONCE’S FAVOURITE MAKEUP SETTING SPRAY THAT SHE USED DURING THE RENAISSANCE TOUR. When I tell you that I gagged when I saw the One/Size On Till Dawn Mattifying Spray. I’m definitely saving this for the summer period. So! Is the Sephora box worth it? Let’s take a look at the products:

For £189, I think this is a great box full of a good mix of premium and luxury brands, especially with the majority of them coming up full sized. There’s a good ratio of skincare to beauty products mixed in, although I do wonder why the Bum Bum cream comes in 10ml pots; the amount contained in the pack wouldn’t even cover half of my body lmao, but we move! Have you decided which advent calendar you’re going to go for?
