M&S Advent Calendar 2021: What's Inside, How Much & When You Can Buy

The M&S advent calendar is one of the most hotly-anticipated beauty advent calendars of the festive season, so to say we've been waiting with bated breath for its arrival would be an almighty understatement. 

Cast your minds back to 2020: the high-street hero swapped its usual advent calendar for a curated beauty box having faced one of the most unpredictable years in recent history. So we've actually been waiting for two years for this collection of bestselling makeup, skincare and haircare goodies to land on the beauty desk. 

They have, for sure, made up for lost time. This carefully curated edit of 25 products is the perfect countdown to Christmas for loved-ones (or yourself), containing everything you need to look and feel your best for the festive period. Containing the best from the M&S Beauty floor – from a selection of third-party brands to your favourite M&S own-brand products – it really is a total treat. Here's everything you need to know.

How much is the M&S advent calendar?

Filled with beauty treats worth £300 (!), the M&S advent calendar is just £40 when you spend £30 on Clothing, Home and Beauty in store or online. We don't know about you, but we'd say that's a pretty good deal.

When can I buy the M&S advent calendar?

The M&S Advent Calendar will be available in-store and online from 28th October 2021. Limber up. Circle the dates in your diary. Get excited. It's set to sell out.

What's inside the M&S advent calendar?

Keep scrolling for the full list of products inside the M&S beauty calendar – but if you don't want any spoilers, you should look away now. 

Particular highlights? Emma Hardie's Moringa Cleansing Balm is a total treat, sure to elevate your skincare routine and leave you with a soft and glowing complexion. Containing moringa seed extract, wild sea fennel and vitamin E to balance, purify, and minimise the appearance of open pores – plus the essential oils of orange, neroli, mandarin, jasmine and rose to rejuvenate and deeply condition the skin – it's suitable for all skin types and removes all traces of face and eye makeup in an instant. 

Elsewhere, the Eyeko Black Magic is a GLAMOUR beauty desk fave, designed for serious volume, drama and curl. It's the brand's darkest black for an intense finish, enriched with keratin and shea-butter to keep lashes conditioned, healthy and defined.
