There are some seriously expensive skincare products in this calendar, including treatments from Zelens, Murad and BIOEFFECT. But does expensive skincare automatically make a brilliant advent calendar? I'll be sharing what impressed me, which products I'm excited to use, anything that disappointed me and how ELLE compares with the other luxury beauty calendars I've opened this year.
