Part of the magic of Christmas is the anticipation. The weather warms up (in this part of the world, anyway), the decorations come out and Christmas carols start being played in stores. And while the first of December has traditionally meant opening a tiny door and eating a chocolate, the new generation of advent calendars have seriously upped their (beauty) game. With everything from your favourite fragrance, to your favourite shade of lippie hiding behind advent calendar doors, the build up to Christmas just got so much better.
