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.
