Beauty calendars that aren't for Christmas

Hi! I received a L'oreal beauty advent calendar for my birthday this year and I absolutely loved opening it. I've never had a beauty calendar before, so it was a real treat.

I'm about to go through a fairly shit time (fertility treatment) and thought it would be nice to get another one that I can open during the treatment as a little daily pick me up after all the injections and appointments and blood tests etc.

I'm struggling to find where to buy them! Do they only sell them around christmas time? I'm ideally looking for one under 100 quid. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is it truly just a christmas thing?

I've only ever seen them aimed at Christmas but you might be able to get one of last year's out of season, even better that it will probably be discounted. Just have a quick google. I bought the Lumene one for half price and it's still in stock. I also found a discount code to take it down to £40 AND they have free delivery at £40 so it was a bit of a bargain (and the products are lovely too):

Would you be interested in a perfume discovery box? You can usually get those all year round.

A lot of places do beauty edits, which are more like a big box with lots of products in than a calendar.

I think Look Fantastic, Cult Beauty, and OK are a few that do these?

Clarins 12 day calendar is in clearance at John Lewis (and on the clarins site too, I think)

With the Lumene - I think you can get another 20% off if you are a new customer and sign up to the newsletter (might not be on top of the existing discount though!)

If you search beauty advent on Amazon, it comes up with L'Oreal, Nivea, Baylis + Harding, Nuxe - all in your budget
