Ex-Boots employee says 'don't underestimate' £44 beauty advent calendar with Liz Earle and No7 in first-look review

December is less than a month away, and if you're planning on getting a beauty advent calendar, the Macmillan 24 Doors of Joy might just be what you're looking for. Discounted for Black Friday, the Boosts' best seller has had £46 off its original price.

The Christmas countdown is now £44 - reduced from £90 - and gives shopper £175 worth of products. It is packed with 24 products, some of which are full sized.

The festive haul can be bought online or in store and is filled with items from popular brands such as Liz Earle and Ted Baker. Ex-Boots employee Bethan Shufflebotham has given her opinion on all the brands included in the calendar in our sister-site The Mirror.

Liz Earle products are one of the highlights of the calendar, according to Bethan. The latter features features a travel sized version of the iconic Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, worth £8, as well as a pure cotton cloth, which are not only perfect for travelling and weekends away, but also offer those discovering the brand a chance to trial the cleanser before committing to a full size.

No7 products are another highlight of the Macmillan 24 Doors of Joy, whose largest portion is dedicated to the brand. The Christmas countdown has eight full sized and miniature products, including the Beautiful Skin Revitalising Hand Polish which feels a bit too similar to the Soap and Glory Hand Food - meaning the calendar contains two similar hand creams -, but the Skin Softening Foot Scrub and Protect and Perfect Lip Care are a great addition.

Makeup wise, the Lift & Luminate Triple Action Primer, worth just under £18, is ideal for keeping all those festive holiday looks in place. Skincare hasn’t been neglected either, with a No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED day and night cream duo.

And "don’t underestimate" some of the more affordable beauty buys included in the festive haul. One of the drugstore products you get is the the very well-pigmented Sleek i-Divine Palette Royal Flush, which is a good alternative to the viral Naked Heat palette from Urban Decay.

Here’s a list of everything you can find inside the Macmillan 24 Doors of Joy beauty advent calendar :

  • Sleek MakeUP Fierce Felt Eye Liner Zodiac Black
  • Soap & Glory Bright & Beautiful Brightening Sheet Mask
  • Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Butter, Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
