The limited-edition Christmas extravaganza, officially called The Beauty Countdown, will contain products from popular brands in the Lauder stable, such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Origins, Aveda, Bumble & Bumble, Darphin, Smashbox, GlamGlow, Michael Kors and Estée Lauder.

The calendar will include winter skin saviours, holiday season hair and make-up treats and exclusive offers. Priced at £125, it contains products worth more than £197 and only 1,000 will be released. The calendar is expected to hit shelves in October, although the official launch date is yet to be announced.
