The SkinStore 12 Miracles of Beauty 2018 Advent Calendar is a 12 day beauty advent calendar. This calendar has individual drawers containing beauty products specifically picked to ensure that you discover a brand new treat that will provide you every day confidence across your makeup, skin care and hair care routines.
This advent calendar was $99 and available exclusively at SkinStore. It’s now sold out – but be sure to grab notifications on this post if you want to know when next year’s calendar is available!
This is how the calendar looks like when you open the flaps!
There’s a surprise every day for 12 days before Christmas. Well, that is if you can prevent yourself from being curious and not open them all at once.
These are the 12 items we can use to complete our beauty regimen exclusively picked by SkinStore.
Each box is labeled by number.
Upon opening, you can see a red tissue paper and the surprise itself!
The items are also still in their boxes. Each varies on sizes, so you can’t really predict what’s inside or how many.
Oh, we got a product from Elemis! This is going great so far, this is exciting!
We can’t wait for 12 days, so we unraveled them all! These are the 12 products.
The price of this one product already makes up almost the worth of the whole advent calendar. They saved this best surprise for the 12th and last day.
Everything in my SkinStore advent calendar!
