One of the best-loved times of the year now seems to be getting closer and closer. We are of course talking about the holiday season and Christmas.
Each of us has a clear idea of what an advent calendar is, but it is above all the worlds of fashion and beauty that make our ideas even clearer.
THE HISTORY OF THE ADVENT CALENDAR
Born in Germany at the beginning of the last century, this traditional calendar is used to show the days remaining until Christmas Eve. While in the past we used to open the boxes – obv day by day – to receive chocolates as a surprise, today the anticipation of Christmas is becoming more and more magical.
Today, Advent calendars become precious beauty boxes, including skincare, hair care and make-up products. In fact, these calendars contain a vast assortment of products to be opened every day until 25 December.
Behind those little boxes seems to hide a universe of wonders waiting to be discovered, so we have chosen to make a selection of some of the best on the market this year. Are you curious* to discover them? Let’s get started!
