Real Techniques Sponge Advent Calendar

For a beauty junkie, there is no better time of year than the festive season, when we're treated to beauty Advent calendars, gift sets, and Winter collections. Every year, brands take their collections one step further with the biggest, the best, and the prettiest festive sets, most of which go straight onto our Winter wish lists.

While beauty calendars are great for trying new products, you might be wishing for some makeup bag essentials from Santa this year. If so, your wishes are the elves' command, because Real Techniques has just blessed us with a calendar filled entirely with beauty sponges!

The 12-door ultimate sponge set has you covered (literally) with a mixture of classic sponges, minis, and angled sponges. There's even one to help remove makeup and cleanse the skin. In total, you'll get your hands on 15 different sponges as you count down the days to Christmas. Basically, you won't need to stock up ever again (OK, maybe not for a year!).

Real Techniques hasn't stopped at sponges; read on to see our other favourites from the festive collection, and stay turned for the release in early November.
