Released in October.  WOW!

@weezer111  - do I have to pick just 1 

Oh my goodness! I am so pleased to say that I have news on the La Mer Advent Calendar 2020 – it is back and looking stunning! This year, it is called the 12 Days of Luminous Hydration and it’s packed with magical La Mer goodies.I have all the details here

This is always one of the most stalked calendars. It comes in exclusive limited quantities and there’s always that feeling that you just won’t be able to get your hands on it!

The first year it launched, it appeared online and sold out instantly, so if you managed to grab one, you were very lucky indeed!

The execution is always supberly elegant and beautifully packaged. The ultimate treat.

I am SO happy they are making this a regular thing because La Mer are there at the top of the tree when it comes to Beauty Advent Calendars. The 2020 edition will be their third.

What’s in the La Mer Advent Calendar 2020?

So as I said, this is a 12-piece countdown calendar. Here is a list of the contents for this year.

“12 Days, 12 Luxurious Skin Saviors. From our cult-favourite Renewal Oil to our iconic Crème de la Mer, embark on the ultimate journey of indulgence for an illuminated holiday season.”

• The Eye Concentrate 5ml
• The Lifting & Firming Mask 5ml

@Chi-town girl  LOVE THIS THREAD!! Thank you for starting it!

I did the La Mer one the year before last. It is ONLY on the La Mer site and sells out within 24 hours. It isn't cheap; about $400. You receive more than $1000 worth of product. It was my Christmas gift to me and it was great as the 12 Days of Christmas. Extended the season a tad, if you will.

Clarins puts out TWO; a 25 Days of Christmas and a 12 Days of Christmas. Both are very well made and feature deluxe sample and full size products. I purchase these as gifts because the price point is FANTASTIC considering the value (large travel and full sizes). I found a mascara I love due to this.

I did Charlotte Tilburys' one year and if you LOVE her products, it's a great deal. The quality of the box is amazing; you won't want to throw it away (same with Clarins).

SpaceNK's was under my tree and though not cheap (about a hundred), you receive many full size products, a $25 gift certificate and the presentation is fantastic. It's 25 days.

The L'Occitane one didn't wow me. They offer 2 versions (12 and 25) but the products are TINY. I mean REALLY tiny. The hand cream might give you 2 usages. That said, it's a great way to try a variety of their products at a good price. 

Diptyque candles makes a great one, though not cheap. I only like a few of their scents but if you or someone you know loves all their scents, it's a gorgeous calendar.

Most of these I found directly on their site but Clarins was on Bloomingdales site as was Charlotte Tilbury. You have to start searching now. BTW, the ones from England are A-MAZING!!! If you don't mind ordering now (due to shipping times), they are worth the money and time AND...they tend to be cheaper than the luxury ones here. I was gifted one by my in-laws from a store in the UK (Liberty of London) and WOW, gorgeous, something I bring out EVERY Christmas because the calendar itself is a display piece. You can use it every year as an advent calendar as well. 

What a great topic!

EDITED TO ADD:  CULT BEAUTY. This is out of London and their GWP and Advent Calendar is one of the best out there. HOWEVER...they do NOT have a courier so it goes from London to the Netherlands and then to the US via USPS. Your package can take 3-4 weeks to arrive and the shipping box is usually heavily damaged. That said, nothing I've ever ordered has been damaged. I posted about their Beauty Event in August and the amount of amazing products in their bag was...just WOW. You CAN pay to use private shipping but it isn't cheap. The value of their calendar, especially if you want to try high end products, is one of the best out there. VERY nice.
