Last year Essence released a DIY Advent Calendar and it is back for 2020 and in my view, much better than previous years. I like Essence Cosmetics as a brand, they are super affordable and whilst not always easy to find in your local Wilko, can be found on Feelunique.
The 2020 Essence Make Your Own Advent Calendar is slightly difference to last year, the sparkly gold box which featured bags and 24 products so that you could decide what product goes where, has this year been replaced by a pink and white striped box but again with the bags and products.
What I love about this is that you are buying an advent calendar from a brand you like and you get to decide what to open when. Last year I bought the calendar for my god daughter and set it up so she could open a bag a day how I had set it up and it was a real treat as she was just becoming interested in makeup and because Essence products are not expensive, I felt it was a good place for her to start.

As you can see, inside is a whole host of makeup products from lashes and mascara to nail polish and lipgloss and the whole collection costs just €19.95 here, though hopefully when it arrives in the UK, the price will be around that.
