Debenhams reduces Clarins advent calendar that includes Princess Kate-approved lip balm

Shoppers looking to update their beauty regime can do so with a money-saving deal at Debenhams. The reatailer has reduced the Clarins 12 Day Advent Calendar, that typically retails for £95, down to £76. This 20% discount beats the price of the beauty advent calendar at Boots and on the Clarins website, where it is still full price.

This year's Clarins Advent Calendar is filled with 12 products, including a full size Beauty Flash Balm and a full size Lip Comfort Oil. At Boots these items would set shoppers back £65 if there were to be purchased individually, but the deal means they are essentially £12.60 for both.

The entire contents of the Clarins Advent Calendar is £167, featuring some of Clarins' most-loved items. Noteably, a travel-size Clarins Lip Perfector in the shade Soft Pink Glow is included. Princess Kate fans may know the royal wore this lip balm during Wimbledon in 2019 and it may still be a product she uses to achieve her natural makeup look.

Clarins customers are calling the 12 day advent calendar 'absolute indulgent luxury' and many are snapping one up to gift a loved one this festive season. One reviewer wrote: "I treated myself to this fabulous advent calendar. The treats inside were just what I wanted and some new items which I am delighted with. Very happy with my purchase. I think I may also purchase one for my daughter as a Christmas gift."

Some shoppers may be dissapointed that ten of the twelve items in the Clarins advent calendar are mini, however, this does make them practical for travel. Alternatively, the Liz Earle 12 Days Beauty Advent Calendar is £76 and contains five full size products. This includes a full size Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser and a Superskin Moisturiser.

At Space NK, the 12 Days of Fragrance Advent Calendar is worth £558 but retails for £160. It includes perfumes from Acqua Di Parma, Diptyque, Maison Margiela and more.

Back to the Clarins 12 Day Advent Calendar, customers are leaving top reviews. A loyal fan of the brand wrote: "Great Christmas gift, this is the 3rd year I've bought the Clarins advent calendar, definitely the best after trying a number of others, no contest, worth every penny."

A second person said: "Awesome product. Last years was excellent, great products and surprises behind the doors, and looking at the pictures of this years I won't be dissapointed. Can't wait."

And a third commented: "Wow. What a beautiful advent calendar. I couldn't wait to get my hands on these beautiful treasures. Such great value and a perfect selection of treasures to try."
