This year, the John Lewis beauty advent calendar is bigger than ever with a worth of £1,160. Available from 3 August, this is the earliest the calendar has been available for customers to preview. Additionally, for the first time ever, the calendar will be available to pre-order via the John Lewis app for MyJL beauty members.

Retailing at £250, the calendar features 41 specially curated products across 25 drawers, over 50% of which are full size. In an exciting first for the John Lewis calendar, it features tech in the form of a mini UFO device from FOREO worth £129. This sits alongside new brand Skin Rocks and much loved favourites such as Aveda, Dermalogica, ELEMIS, Jo Loves, Medik8, Sisley and Trinny London. Customers can expect a range of products including mascara, fragrance, serum, body cream, setting spray, lip oil and sheet masks. 1 in 41 customers also have the chance of winning a mystery voucher, with prizes like a Shark tool and a Clarins Spa Treatment.

Helen Spencer, Beauty Director at John Lewis says: "Year after year our beauty advent calendars continue to surprise and delight our loyal beauty customers. I’m thrilled to once again offer outstanding value, premium sought-after brands and a diverse range of products that I’m confident our customers will love. Our curated beauty boxes have been particularly popular this year, and I have no doubt our advent calendar will be just as successful."

This year's hand-painted design evokes the feeling of wonder, using a mix of tactile techniques that brings the box to life. Once this year’s surprises have been unveiled, the box can easily be repurposed in the future, or as beauty storage throughout the year. 

Customers can sign up to MyJL Beauty via the app in order to pre-order the calendar from 3 August. The calendar will be available to buy for members and pre-orders will be shipped from 3 September, and will go on general sale from 7 September. 

Fragrance lovers will also be catered to this year, as we launch our first-ever 12-day fragrance advent calendar. Featuring premium brands such as Memo Paris, Essential Parfums, KILIAN PARIS and Frederic Malle, the calendar is perfect for those who want to discover new scents over the festive season. Priced at £99 but worth £305, the calendar will be available to buy for MyJL Beauty members from 21 September, with general sale on 25 September.
