Marks & Spencer launches beauty advent calendar featuring major brands

Marks & Spencer has launched its beauty advent calendar for the upcoming holiday season, featuring a variety of well-known cosmetic and skincare brands. The calendar is noted for its affordability compared to luxury retailers, priced at £75 with an estimated product value of approximately £460 to £500.

The collection includes 25 products, featuring 10 items described as full-size or travel-size. Notable brands included in the lineup are Estée Lauder, Clinique, Benefit, ColorWow, Sam McKnight, and Aveda. While reviewers highlight the high value and variety of household names, some noted that several products feel more like mini or travel-sized versions rather than premium full-sized items.
