by

As strong advocates of treat yourself Tuesday, the thought of getting a little present every day is right up our (festively bedecked) alley.

While we are still big fans of a chocolate filled calendar, this year the diets are starting early and we're switching to beauty-based bundles of joy.

Counting your pennies at Christmas is important, so we've put together our pick of the best advent calendars of 2016 to suit everyone's budget, from high street to high end. 

1. Estee Lauder €250

If you feel you've been exceptionally good this year, the Estee Lauder's Holiday Countdown calendar is the splurge for you.

While the calendar is a bit pricey, it's actually amazing value for money and includes a myriad of their very best products, including their newest innovation, the Advanced Night Repair Revitalising Supreme and Creme, a best seller, the Modern Muse perfume and many many more.

Charlotte Tilbury €195

Charlotte Tilbury is officially one of the most sought after makeup gurus on the planet, and her magic cream will probably go down in beauty history as one of the handiest cult products EVER. 

If you're one of those people who's dying to try out Charlotte's full range but blanches at the prospect, the World of Legendary Parties advent calendar is one way to get the goods without the financial commitment. 

3 Kiehls, €115

Every skin care junkie worth their salt will be after the Kiehls X Jeremyville Limited Edition Advent Calendar.  

Not only is it a holy grail of high quality skin products, it's also an artistic one-off, as the unique packaging was designed by Brooklyn based Jeremyville. Featuring two full-sized products and a whopping 22 deluxe minis it's sure to be a total sellout so get in store ASAP. 

Lancome €105

Lancome, Yves Saint Laurent , Ralph Lauren and Viktor & Rolf have teamed up to create the ultimate luxury beauty hamper in the form of the Your Beauty Fairytale Come True beauty bonanza.

The pink parcel contains a whole host of the brand's best fragrances, skin care and makeup products, making it the ultimate gift for the high-end beauty obsessed.

NYX €84

One for the makeup junkies, this NYX Wanderlust calendar is pretty much a professional makeup palette divvied up into daily doses.

ASOS €66.67

Fashion mega brand ASOS have released their first advent calendar and it's completely crammed with the best beauty bits the online store has to offer.

7 L'Occitane €56

L'Occitane has a reputation for being one of the most luxurious and high quality beauty brands out there, so synopsising their best beauty buys into an advent calendar is more than Ok with us.

This product completely sold out online this week, but it can still be found in store if you're very lucky. 

Jack Wills €46

Got a teenager in your life that needs some convincing to behave this Christmas?

Look no further than the Jack Wills Xmas Countdown calendar, packed with mini beauty and body goodies. This brand is a favourite with the secondary school set so you can't go wrong.

Christmas can be a stressful period, so taking some time out to relax and recuperate is a given.

Plus hot baths in winter weather are the epitome of heaven. Sanctuary's Let Go Days of Christmas advent calendar is full of both bath and beauty bits, along with some homeware products including candles and an eye mask for the ultimate chilled out evening watching Christmas movies. 

10 River Island €17

Rounding off our list is the River Island 12 Days of Beauty bundle.
