Oh yes please. An advent calendar stuffed full of perfectly formed Lancome miniatures? This beats the chocolate-filled versions hands down! What’s not to like? I particularly need/want/like the La Vie Est Belle miniature; it makes me grit my teeth with longing. Why do I have this ridiculous obsession with tiny samples of things? I still have that gigantic box full of them on top of my shelves – it’s so heavy that it’s making the wood sag! I must do a giveaway very, very soon. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, if you want your very own Lancome advent calendar you will have to be quick off the marks on the first of October – these will be on the Lancome website and at flagship counters priced at £70. For that you get 24 luxury minis (not the cars) including beautiful foundation, age-defying skincare and some makeup heroes. Ding dong.
