Marks & Spencer launches beauty advent calendar 2016 which costs £250 but you can get it for £35…with just one catch
There are over 25 products hidden behind the calendar doors
COULD this be the best value advent calendar of 2016?
Marks & Spencer have launched an exciting beauty-themed calendar this festive season, and it’s packed full of luxurious products.
But for just £35, M&S shoppers will be treated to over £250 worth of cult cosmetic items, including makeup, skincare, perfumes and hair care - there is just one catch.
The offer will only be available to customers who spend £35 in store, but this shouldn’t be a problem if you’re already planning on buying some Christmas gifts from the retail giant.
To qualify for the calendar, purchases must be made in the beauty, fashion or homeware sections - although furniture isn't included.
From November 10th, beauty addicts can get their hands on the quirky calendar, but it means a total spend of £70 in M&S to get hold of the bargain makeup deal.
ALDI have impressed shoppers with their £8.99 advent item, which retails at £56 cheaper than the Harrods version.
There are 25 different products packed behind the individual doors on the Christmas tree design.
Calculations from show the vast savings that are made by buying the advent calendar rather than splurging on the items individually.
