Is it worth it?

She said: "Yes at £235 it’s not cheap - but it’s literally worth over £1,000 and contains 33 products, including viral ones you’ve probably seen all over social media and TikTok - from Rare Beauty, Tatcha, Olaplex, Hourglass and so much more. I mean there’s even an eyeshadow palette from Charlotte Tilbury in there - and she hasn’t included one in her own advent calendar…
"Think of SpaceNK as the ‘influencer’s paradise’, or bouji Boots - the place has everything you’d ever want, like if you’re serious about your skin and haircare, not to mention everything you best friend, sister, mum or other family member would be over the moon to receive come Christmas Day.
"SpaceNK hail this beauty advent calendar as ‘lust worthy’ - and they aren’t wrong. The amount of friends and randoms that slide into my DMs about which beauty advent calendar they should be buying - and this one wins by a mile. All 25 boxes are fit to bursting with on trend makeup, luxury skincare, salon-grade haircare, and the stuff you next bath and body dreams of."
