How much is the Lancôme advent calendar worth and is it good value?

There’s a lot to choose from, and at £105 you get good value for money, but theAdvanced Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl Anti-Aging Eye Serum (usually around £43 for 15ml) is one of the hero products included.

This super efficacious eye saviour should be applied day and or night on cleansed skin to visibly softer contours around the eye. It can also be applied as a lash serum for healthy, conditioned lashes.

Is the Lancôme advent calendar a sustainable or ethical choice?

After Christmas the box can be recycled to ease your eco anxiety. Like most beauty advent calendars, this one is on sale now but should sell out fast so get your hands on it now if you don’t want to be disappointed.
