Breathe! Harrods' first-ever Beauty Advent Calendar is here. It is worth a WHOPPING £595 - the highest value we've seen so far from an Advent Calendar. It costs an eye-watering £250, putting it into the luxury category, like the £300 calendars from Jo Malone, Diptyque, and so on. There are 25 products. More on them further below.
Jane of the British Beauty Blogger calls the contents of this one the "best I've ever seen" - I don't blame her. Chantecaille. By Terry. Suqqu. 111 Skin. Erno Laszlo. Huda Beauty. Omorovicza. The brand choices are certainly Harrods-y.

The packaging is tres chic. A drawing of facade of the iconic store itself. I adore the architecture of Harrods and Harvey Nicks, and many is the happy evening I've spent in Knightsbridge, just staring at these two beautiful buildings. Now, while I adore Selfridges, the building isn't much to write home about.
The doors of the calendar open to reveal beautifully symmetric drawers for each day. What I want to know is, how they made all the drawers the same size, since the products are clearly very different in size and volume.
When compared to some of the other Advent Calendars we've seen for this Christmas, the packaging looks underwhelming. Which means Harrods has spent more time curating the contents than on fancy exteriors.

This went out of stock online within ELEVEN minutes of launching. I messaged Harrods furiously, having tweeted them on expected launch dates of October 1, October 23, and later, November 1, only to miss out - within minutes, I received a phone call ALL the way from Harrods, and the SA took my order from the stock they had in the Knightsbridge store. My advent calendar is out for delivery even as I type; stay tuned for my unboxing video.
The good news is, this advent calendar is back in stock by popular demand. To buy your Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar, go here. They ship worldwide, and the customer care is impeccable. Agreed, this is eye-wateringly expensive, although the high-end brands inside, and the net worth, definitely make up for the price. There ARE other Advent Calendars which cost even more - Diptyque and Jo Malone will render you poorer by a nice £300 each - so going by those, the Harrods Advent Calendar falls into the same category. This is the ultimate Christmas treat for yourself or a very special person.
