Ok, bad news first: There isn't an M&S Beauty Advent Calendar this year for fans of beauty advent calendars (opens in new tab) to lust after.

Good news: there IS a 12-Day Calendar containing Autograph make-up – and even better, the price has just been slashed in half!

What's inside the Autograph M&S Beauty Advent Calendar?

• Mini Lip Lacquer
• Mini Colour Balm Lip Shine
• Mini All-In-One Nail Colour
• Mini Gel Effect Top Coat
• Mini Fragrance - 10ml

Initially, M&S beauty fans were shocked to learn that this year there was no bumper beauty advent calendar on offer. Instead, the calendar was replaced with a Beauty Box with contents worth almost £100 less than the actual retail price. 

Explaining the decision to replace the all-out calendar this year, M&S said, "This year, we didn’t want to wait until December to give you a beauty treat. Instead of the beauty advent calendar, we bring you The Beauty Edit – an incredible line-up of 10 beauty buys curated by our in-house experts."

What’s inside the M&S Beauty Edit box?

The M&S Beauty Edit Box was stuffed with 10 products from a selection of beauty brands, many of them full size.

Although the contents were worth a combined total of £120, the box was just £20 if you spent £30 across beauty, clothing and home. It's easy to see why it's been snapped up completely!

Here's what was inside...

• Percy & Reed Define & Hold Finishing Cream 100ml
• Nuxe Multi-Purpose Dry Oil Florale 10ml
• Still Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner
• Prai 24K Gold Wrinkle Repair Creme 30ml
• Leighton Denny Intensive Nail Repair Cream 10ml
• Leighton Denny Duplex Buffer
• Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5 in 1 Styling Treatment 60ml
• REN Evercalm Ultra Comforting Mask 10ml
• Philip Kingsley Body Building Weightless Conditioner 60ml
• This Works Deep Sleep Body Cocoon 100ml
• Eyeko Lash Alert! Wake Up & Go

Thanks to its pre-Christmas launch date, it's no surprise that the box has already sold out – so you'd better get in there quickly if you'd still like to get your hands on the Autograph M&S Beauty Advent Calendar.
