BEAUTY LOWDOWN
THE ASOS BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDAR IS HERE
By Maybelle Morgan, 17 October 2017
We know, we know – it’s a bit early to be talking about Christmas. But when the gifting potential is so good, why wait? We’re talking about the ASOS Advent Calendar, crammed to the brim (25 days worth, to be exact) of beauty goodness.
What is it?
Forget chocolate – this is a winner for skincare lovers or even for that friend who’s just really really obsessed with YouTube make-up tutorials. Each day you’ll open a window to cult brands including The Ordinary, Caudalie, Korres, Nip & Fab, REN, Rodial and more. Here’s a sneak peek into what's on the cards...
Alpha-H Liquid Gold
Two words: overnight facial. A cult beauty pick among insiders and bloggers, the 5% glycolic acid formula is designed to gently exfoliate and brighten skin. Apply in the evenings by swiping a cotton pad over your face after cleansing. And… that’s it. No moisturiser, no nothing. Use it three evenings a week and, over time, it'll improve scarring, sun damage and overall skintone.

Foreo Luna Play
Small and mighty, the teensy portable facial cleansing device uses sonic pulsations to unclog pores and really get all the day’s grime off. Not convinced yet? It’s gentle enough to use twice a day, is suitable for all skin types and is a pretty damn cute addition to your daily skincare routine.
NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream
You’ll be hard-pushed to find a beauty blogger who isn’t a fan of this one. The classic formula goes on like a smooth cream and dries with a feathery velvet finish. With a highly-pigmented and long lasting colour, this is one to take with you when you next go out out.
Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner
When cat-eye connoisseur Alexa Chung’s a fan, you know it’s time to jump firmly on the bandwagon. And for good reason, too, as this classic liner from Eyeko delivers all the goods. Precise nib? Check. Easy-to-use applicator? Check check. Intense, long-lasting finish? All the checks.
