Festive Beauty: The Luxe Advent Calendar

Can you believe there are only 70 days left till Christmas?
Have you started your Holiday Gift-Shopping already?  I know, I know, we just finished celebrating Thanksgiving here in Canada and we haven't even seen Halloween yet so talking about anything Christmas may not be what you want to hear, but for the beauty lovers, you definitely want to listen to this!

If you don't know about the Loose Button Luxe Box, read more about my love for it here.
It's a seasonal beauty box subscription that offers deluxe-sized beauty samples in a chic package and personalized to the tee.  I've been sent different Luxe Boxes throughout the year and I have to admit they have grown dramatically -- bigger and better each time!

Well, now that the holidays are approaching, Loose Button has come up with a festive special that's sure to delight -- The Luxe Advent Calendar!




You remember those fun advent calendars you use to get when you were a child, filled with delicious treats behind each window that you open every day during the month of December?  This is exactly the same thing, but instead of chocolates, you are pleasantly surprised with a deluxe-sized beauty sample from top name brands in the beauty industry.  Brands such as Shu Uemura, Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani and Lancome. Love these brands!

At first when I heard about it, I thought this must be a small calendar... I was wrong!
I received a generously-sized rectangular box in the mail today and low & behold it was my Luxe Advent Calendar! 


It came beautifully gift-wrapped with a hand-written card. Such a treat!
The calendar comes with 24 deluxe-sized samples including a $10 gift card to spend at Loose Button's upcoming online retail store launching in time for the holiday season. 

This is the perfect gift for that beauty lover on your list or just a nice indulgence for you!
The price tag for this calendar is $109 Canadian. This I think is decent; however, I would've liked to see it a smaller price point or even just a higher gift card amount.
Nonetheless, this is a great opportunity to test out some amazing samples of fabulous brands before splurging on a full-sized item and the idea of it in an advent calendar for the Holidays makes for an extra-special touch.

It's now available for purchase on their website with limited quantities, so act quickly!

Cannot wait to open up my first window! And the countdown is on...
