Awesome Beauty Advent Calendars to Countdown Christmas 2014
Okay, I know it’s going to sound really strange but I’ve never heard of advent calendars until I moved to Australia in 2008. Growing up in Malaysia, we never had advent calendars and when I saw them in the UK, I’ve always thought that they were are actual paper calendars, which was why it was something I never questioned.
When I finally found out what they were, I thought it was a cute, novelty idea and last year I decided to give one a go. Cheapie me wouldn’t pay a lot for one so I, erm, got mine from Woolworths for the princely sum of AU$1.00 and enjoyed a tiny piece of chocolate a day till Christmas.
Having said that, there are plenty of advent calendars out there and it wasn’t till last year that I found out that there are beauty advent calendars too. Seriously, it’s like opening a new gift for yourself every single day till Christmas! How awesome is that? While beauty advent calendars are expensive, the items combined are almost always worth more than what you’ve paid for.
Most of the advent calendars are sold out by now but I managed to pick one up, which I’ll show you later. Beauty advent calendars are incredibly popular and most if not all are sold out by November. Some are not available in Australia either. Still, I thought I’d show you some of the cool ones I’ve seen online this year and while you will most likely not be able to get them any more, if it’s something you’re really looking forward to getting for Christmas 2015, make a note in your 2015 calendar to pick them up by October or even September!

An advent calendar of … wait for it … candles! I really wish this was available in Australia because I’d have snapped this one up pronto. I’m making a note of this in my 2015 planner to see if I can get one before Christmas 2015!
