I really wish we had Advent calendars in the Philippines. Well, we do have them in some stores but it’s not really part of Christmas tradition here. But it should be, right?

An Advent calendar is like a countdown to Christmas. It can contain anything from chocolates to booze.

But for now, we’ll be talking about beauty Advent calendars.

The NYX Cosmetics limited edition Lippie Countdown Advent Calendar, for example, is a rare opportunity to get NYX’s bestselling lipsticks in a 24-piece collection. Even on BeautyMNL, it's sold out!

The L’Occitane Advent Calendar Collection comes with comes with popular products from L'Occitane such as Shea Butter Lip Balm, Pivoine Flora Hand Cream, Citrus Verbena Shower Gel and more.

We’re not sure if Benefit will be bringing in the SF Winter WonderGLAM 2017 Advent Calendar but it sure is something we’d love to get as a gift. It contains 12 of Benefit’s bestselling items including they’re real Mascara and the POREfessional in fun sizes.

But if we could only choose one beauty Advent calendar, it would probably be the Jo Malone one!

I mean, look at that.

Unfortunately, this calendar is sold out everywhere.

Sigh, there’s still time to save for Jo Malone 2018 edition though.
