Have you been holding back the urge to splurge on skincare, makeup, fragrances all this time? The beauty advent calendars that only come out this festive season are great excuses for you to spend all the money you’ve been saving. Why not? It’s the holiday season after all.
It’s a tradition for several brands, not limited to beauty, to launch their special treasure boxes right before the Christmas season. Although the ritual of advent calendars is not so popular in Thailand, and most of them are not available for sale in our country, you can still get your hands on these exclusive boxes on international websites. Or, keep it on the topmost of your mind when you’re doing your shopping overseas this holiday break.
