Posted by Robin on 12 October 2018 13 Comments

Holiday creep keeps creeping, but if you want a beauty advent calendar this year, you’ll have to buy soon: they tend to launch early and then sell out quickly.

Today’s post includes special edition bottles from Bvlgari, Philosophy, Mugler, Tiffany and Bond no. 9.

From Bvlgari, Rose Goldea in the Jacky Tsai edition: “A new Limited Edition celebrating Rose Goldea first anniversary created in collaboration with Chinese artist Jacky Tsai.
