There's no getting away from it, most beauty advent calendars don't come cheap - but there's one on our radar that's more affordable than most, and in the spirit of Christmas giving, a portion of sales go to charity.

Over the years, we've swapped the classic chocolate Christmas countdown in favour of more fun adult advent calendars, filled with beauty, alcohol and even sex toys.

Beauty advent calendars are coming in thick and fast already this year, as Lookfantastic, Net-A-Porter, Fortnum & Mason, ASOS, Liberty and Feel Unique, have all already released their hotly-anticipated advent calendars.

Watch: What are the best beauty advent calendars this year?

Macmillan's 24 Beauty Treasures Advent Calendar has also hit the shelves and it's not only back bigger and better than ever before, it's also on sale.

As part of Boots’ ‘Star Gift’ selection, the calendar is now half price, down from £85 to only £42.50 - that’s a whopping saving.

Plus, the calendar itself is filled with £141 worth of products - so it really is a deal beauty fans will not want to miss.

Boots has also launched its Black Friday sale which is a full month long, so you can bag yourself a great advent calendar and add a few reduced gifts to your basket at the same time.

Why we rate it

The Macmillan 24 Beauty Treasures Advent Calendar has a whole host of beauty, skincare and haircare favourites waiting behind the numbered doors.

In fact, it's one of the best multi-branded offerings we've seen so far this season.

Well-known brands, including Champneys, No7, Liz Earle, Soap & Glory, YourGoodSkin and Ted Baker, are included in this beauty bundle.

Plus, its retail price is very reasonable (even without the discount), as beauty advent calendar fans will know many calendars are going over the £200 price tag this year.

The calendar's content is worth £141.50 in total, which makes for quite a saving. Also a bonus, £2 from every sale will go towards Macmillan Cancer Support.

The contents includes Boots hyaluronic acid serum, Liz Earle's popular Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser and No7's top-rated Extreme Length Black Mascara.

Spoiler alert: If you want a peek at the full list of what's inside, see below.
