Rachel Eling rounds up the best of the beauty advent calendars
This week, I have been making like Gulliver and opening tiny doors, pulling out teeny drawers, unscrewing miniature jars and dabbing on perfume from wee bottles of scent to squirrel out the best of the season’s beauty advent calendars. Yes, I know it’s too early to think about Christmas, and yes, I know we haven’t even got as far as Halloween yet but the calendars are going online and into stores in the next week or two, and you know as well as I do that they will sell out way before the 1st of December. So you’re just to have to pull on some felt antlers, crank up the Michael Bublé and handle it, okay?
Jo Malone, £260, available now at Harrods, and nationwide from November
This one is for the other me, the one who lounges on velvet couches in cashmere leisurewear. While she opens the doors of the Jo Malone Georgian town house to peek in the little drawers, she might wonder why her hedge-fund husband never gets home before 11pm, but then she’ll spray on some cologne and decide she doesn’t care.
