The 24-day advent calendar is full of dreamy treats and makes a perfect gift for someone special
With less than 90 days till Christmas, beauty brands have been dropping their advent calendars for this year and if you are up for a bit of self-care, I have just the one for you.
A fun fact for those who might not know, rose is not only the symbol of love but is also known as ‘queen of the botanicals’. It has the ability to delays signs of ageing and is packed with vitamins to soften, balance, and restore the skin.
Jurlique’s advent calendar, £110, is a dreamy treat for rose-lovers like me. The Australian brand is well known for including this gorgeous ingredient in its skincare products.

Housed in a lovely floral-printed box with festive colours, Jurlique has curated their bestsellers and given fans “24 gifts of nature” – from its Rare Rose Face Oil to the iconic Activating Water Essence+ and Herbal Recovery Cream.
This advent calendar is perfect for those who want to try a bit of everything from the brand as you will be getting 24 products all under 50ml – perfect to take along when travelling. I love how compact the advent calendar is, with all of the boxes stacking up perfectly inside a rectangular box.
My eyes lit up when I opened the first box and found a Rare Rose Serum in a pink tube, which I would describe as a ‘drink for your skin’. After applying a pea-sized amount to my face after a hot shower, it soothed any dry areas and delivered instant hydration. I found the rare rose scent so divine and therapeutic.
The attention to detail is what I love most about this Jurlique advent calendar, with each box containing a small note – either a trivial quote or a fun fact about the brand – it made me to put down my phone and take a moment to slow down while applying the Jurlique lavender hand cream (included inside).
I was so excited when I found Rosewater Balancing Mist in the advent calendar. I’ve been wanting to try this five-star facial mist for on-the-go hydration, and unlike other facial mists I’ve tried before, this Jurlique offering doesn’t leave any stickiness on the skin. But there are online reviews saying it’s “just okay”, and one added: “Not really sure what this is for, but it smells nice.”
The Aussie beauty brand knows what it means by ‘leaving the best for last’ – as I reach towards the last few boxes, I realised they are all premium products from the top-selling range, Nutri-Define Supreme. I tried the Nutri-Define cream mask but given it’s a no-rinse mask, I found it more like a rich moisturiser for the face.
