November is drawing to a close, and you know what that means... the holiday season is officially here! And who says holidays, says advent calendars! Well, I have 6 of the best Advent Calendars 2017 to show you today! And don't worry, this post contains spoilers but you can read it even if you don't want to see the content of the calendars, the spoilers are well hidden. ;)
1. Yves Rocher 2017 Advent Calendar ($59 CAD)

By the way, this advent calendar is valued at $174 CAD!! It's a great way to try a few Clarins products, without committing to the full size jars.
