While we’re still a few weeks away from December, several retailers have already begun slashing prices on their beauty advent calendars, with some offering discounts of up to 50%. However, we’ve discovered an offer that could allow you to snag a usually £50 countdown for less than £10.
The NIVEA Advent Calendar 2024 has been marked down by 50% at Argos, dropping from £50 to just £25. But savvy shoppers can actually get it for as low as £8.75 with a clever trick.
This is possible because TopCashback is currently giving new members a £15 sign-up bonus when they join via this link. Once you’ve signed up, simply search for Argos on the TopCashback site and click ‘get cashback now’ before purchasing the Nivea advent calendar as usual.
With the existing discount on the calendar, plus the £15 Topcashback bonus and the retailer’s standard cashback offer, it means new Argos customers can get the calendar for £8.75, while existing customers will get it for £9.79, once the cashback has been paid out.
This festive Nivea advent calendar is packed with 24 beauty and skincare treats, including a variety of moisturisers and face masks that are sure to pamper you throughout December, The Mirror reports. Featured items include the NIVEA Refreshing 24H SPF15 Day Cream and Night Cream – an ideal pair for keeping skin soft and glowing during the winter months.
Among its beauty stash, there are four face masks – two Nivea Q10 face masks for anti-ageing care and two Nourishing Bye Bye Dry Skin masks for intense hydration. Lip care is also covered with three balms – one Nivea Original Care and two Caring Lip Balms in Soft Rosé to protect your lips.
Additionally, there’s a pair of Creme Soft Shower Cremes, two deodorant sticks, one antiperspirant and two mini micellar water bottles for cleansing. Finally, enjoy the added bonus of a spa headband and other handy beauty accessories.
While there are no reviews for the calendar at Argos, it’s also sold at Amazon, where it’s earned a rating of 4.5 stars. One buyer said: “To start, the calendar is huge – it arrives in its own big branded box, so beware to hide it if it is a secret. The design and quality are top-class. I appreciate that the whole production of the calendar is cardboard so doesn’t add to plastic waste around Christmas time.”
Another added: “There is good variety in the selection. Mostly unique with only a few duplications, and hopefully these are ones that are appreciated. Obviously some of the products come in travel-sized bottles to fit into the respective day. At the time of review this calendar is discounted and a real bargain in my consideration.”
“This product was amazing. Was very happy with it. Huge box well worth the money,” said a third, though one shopper was left a bit underwhelmed, leaving a three-star rating which read: “It’d be wrong to review this without opening them all so we did. Very much a women’s calendar with products aimed at the ladies. Mini deodorants, some lip balms and face masks, some body lotions. Several items repeated. I mean it’s ok but not gonna make your day.”
Cheaper still with the Topcashback deal is the Body Collection 24-Day Bath and Body Advent Calendar, which can be ordered in exactly the same way. Originally £36, it’s now £18 on the Argos website. But with the Topcashback offer, new customers can get it for £2.10, while frequent Argos shoppers can get it for £2.85. This effectively makes every item inside 12p or less, making it deal for stocking fillers.
Elsewhere, Amazon has slashed the price of the Revolution Beauty 24-Piece Holiday Beauty Advent Calendar, bringing it down from £48 to an even more tempting £36. Meanwhile, the 12 Days of Kitsch Advent Calendar is 30% off with the code PRIMETIME. Or you can sign up for the Topcashback deal here.
