Now that Halloween is long over, we move on to the next big holiday - Christmas. And what does that mean? Beauty advent calendars, of course!

If you have never been a Christmas fan, try this year to do something nice for yourself to perk up your spirits this year. Understandably, Christmas can be a tough time for some, but doing little and nice things for yourself and others around you can help. It might be a nice idea to invest in an early Christmas present for yourself or someone you love, for example, like - you guessed it! - some beauty advent calendars. That way you will have a little beauty related gift to open each day in the run up to Christmas. What better way is there to get into the Christmas spirit?
