Meet the full-sized favourites hiding in our Advent Calendar

Winner of a coveted Cult Beauty ‘Haul of Fame’ award, Saie’s bestselling Glowy Super Gel in ‘Starglow’ (£22) is the key to achieving celestial skin. 75% water and packed with skin-nourishing extracts and subtle, light-scattering pigments, this lends a deliciously luminous finish when worn on its own, under make up or blended on top of your cheekbones.

Conserving Beauty’s Conserve You Face Oil (£38) is FSC verified, vegan and brimming with cherishing, barrier-boosting oils to soothe and safeguard your complexion. Light and non-greasy, it helps to deflect the skin-harmful effects of blue light and pollution while calming and comforting petal-esque skin types.

Intensifying the effects of any eye cream, Dieux Skin’s reusable silicone Forever Eye Masks (£22) upgrade your routine and respect the env—eye—ronment. A small way to minimise waste, these hassle-free patches are easy to care for (just wash, dry and use them again and again… and again), and they make for a cute self-care selfie…

A rich, chocolate-y brown, 19/99’s Precision Colour Pencil in shade ‘Barna’ (£19) is the perfect way to amplify your eyes with its creamy, long-wear texture that diffuses with your fingers for a sexy, smokey smoulder or facilitates crisp, graphic lines (or a smudge-proof smattering of freckles).

With multiple Cult Conscious accolades, DR. LEVY SWITZERLAND’s R3 Cell Matrix Mask (£69) unites stabilised vitamin C with retinol and hyaluronic acid to stimulate cells and encourage repair and renewal. Boosting resistance to daily aggressors while plumping and strengthening, this fast-acting mask is miraculous (it’s 5-star rated for a reason).

The swiftest way to fake a flush, Huda Beauty’s Cheeky Tint Blush Stick in ‘Coral Cutie’ (£23) lends a pop of dewy pigment that will instantly enliven winter skin.

An OG when it comes to smoothing, brightening and ‘tightening’, Sunday Riley’s Good Genes (£70) helps to melt away the surface cells that compromise your radiance, while triggering renewal to keep things supple. And when you’re asked to share the secret to your newfound luminosity you can legitimately say “it’s just good genes” (your secret’s safe with us).

Starring REN Clean Skincare’s plant-derived alternative to retinol, alongside niacinamide and ceramides to buffer its intensity, the bestselling Bio-Retinoid Youth Serum (£62) is ideal for those who’re new to using retinoids, as well as being great for those with sensitive complexions.

Perfect for the colder climes, Kinship’s Leaping Bunny-certified Supermelt Hyaluronic Plumping Treatment (£19) warms on application and evolves from balm to oil to lavish lips while offering protection from the elements. With a subtle sheen and sweet vanilla scent, consider this the icing on your (skin care) cupcake.

An on-the-go essential, the limited edition Cult Beauty Compact Mirror (£10) will fast become a fixture of your get-ready routine. Its colour-pop hues make it easy to retrieve from the most ludicrously capacious bag, while the normal and twice-magnifying mirrors mean your lips will be perfectly lined and your brows are unfailingly flawless.

In one of two nearly-bare hues, BareMinerals’ nourishing MINERALIST Gloss-Balm (£20) leaves your lips gorgeously glazed. Brimming with cold-pressed fruit oils and delivering a subtle hint-of-tint, this keeps your lips cushiony soft and conditioned.

Instantly uplifting with invigorating notes of lemon peel and white tea, calming rose and waterlily with a reassuring base of musk and cedarwood, HERLUM’s Copa Dew Oil (£29) is a beautiful blend of elasticising cold-pressed rosehip oil, conditioning squalane, copaba and radiance-boosting buriti oils, this multi-tasking marvel works to cherish face, hair, body, cuticles and to elevate your bathing ritual.

Quickly absorbed to address any under-eye dryness, Biossance’s featherlight Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream (£43) creates a smooth canvas for make up while gradually plumping and strengthening delicate tissue.

And finally, Medik8’s Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3 (£42) offers all of the line-smoothing, dark circle-diminishing benefits of retinol without the irritation thanks to ceramides which buffer the intensity. A pioneering product that delivers tangible results without the side-effects, it comes with rave reviews from our discerning Cult Community…

With full sizes totalling a staggering £698.99 (not including the 19 additional mini and travel-sized treats or the chance to win £1000 Cult Beauty pounds if you find one of three Golden Tickets), we think you’ll agree that our calendar’s well worth the £225 price tag. Now, over to you… (and don’t forget to check your Status Points!).
