BEAUTY advent calendars are one of the most exciting parts to the run-up to Christmas – and Aldi has unveiled their highly anticipated offering for this year.
Their new 12 Days of Lacura Beauty Advent Calendar is priced at just £19.99 and is packed with 12 of the brand’s most sought-after beauty buys.


Aldi shoppers can get their hands on a range of miniature and full-size fan-favourite, cruelty-free products.
Included in the beautiful turquoise and golden box is the Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer (15g), which aims to hydrate and prep skin with Vitamin C, B, and Shea Butter, creating a “flawless makeup canvas”.
Complementing this is the Lacura ‘Peachy Pink’ Liquid Blush (2.1ml), and the Lacura Stay Illuminated ‘Champagne’ Highlighter (2.1ml), which is said to add a radiant, sun-kissed glow.
There are also items for your hair, including the dual-purpose Lacura Scalp & Body Scrub (50g), crafted with Sugar Crystals and Coconut Oil to gently exfoliate and remove product build-up.
Thirsty locks are revived by the professional-quality Lacura Honey Infused Hair Oil (25ml), smoothing and adding lustrous shine with added Sweet Almond and Argan Oil.
Meanwhile, in terms of make-up, eyes are given a festive boost with the Lacura Dramatic Lash Mascara (6ml), which claims to deliver voluminous, defined lashes.
The Lacura Silky Kajal ‘Matte Black’ Eyeliner (1.2g) provides rich colour for a smouldering effect.
Lips are treated to hydration and colour with the Lacura ‘Berry Bliss’ Tinted Lip Oil (2ml), boasting Jojoba Seed and Sunflower Seed Oil for a nourished, long-wearing finish.
For ultimate softness, the Lacura Collagen Lip Oil (8ml) combines Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Collagen, and Almond Oil to protect and hydrate, ensuring a perfect pout for any celebration.
There are also some accessories, such as Lacura Creaseless Hair Clips (2-piece) and a Lacura 100 per cent Silk Scrunchie.
Finally, the Lacura Illuminate Setting Spray (32ml) ensures makeup remains flawless and long-lasting, from festive gatherings to everyday wear.
The beauty calendar will be available in stores from October 26, however fans better glam up and grab one quickly, as once they’re gone, they’re gone.
