Best beauty advent calendar for a 17yo?

I am tempted to get DD a beauty advent calendar this year. Some of her friends had them last year and she talked about it quite a lot. Other than knowing that one of her friends had the Space NK one and being v envious as I had been longing for it but it was out of my price range, I cannot remember what any of them had.
I think DD would prefer a range of items rather than a particular brand and, as she has very curly hair and has finally perfected what products to use on it, any random items in an advent calendar would get ignored. Skin care aimed at the older market (ie anyone over about 21!) is also not much use (although I could nab that!).
Any suggestions? I feel completely out of touch as DD is already light years ahead of me in what she knows about this sort of thing.
Budget could be up to about £150 although nearer the £100 would be better. Actually, the same price as a chocolate one would be even better!

The Boots luxe one is quite good this year as it's got a mix of brands and products that are quite popular on Titkok at the moment. It's only got a few hair products in but they are full size ones so if she didn't want them they could easily be sold on Vinted as they're about £25+ each (£45 for the Wella mask!)
