Is it available for shipping outside the UK?
I don’t think so
What do I think of this calendar and would I buy it?
I like this calendar (a lot). Given that most calendars contain a bunch of stuff I wouldn’t use – this calendar does the opposite. Its not just a skincare or make up calendar – it has fragrances and home products too.
Notable for me are the Votary Serum, Susanne Kaufmann Glow Mask and the make up (Carolina Herrera, Charlotte Tilbury, Laura Mercier, NARS, Bobbi Brown etc). All of these are mainstream staples, which yes, is playing safe – but I am ok with that because I will use the product instead of it filling a landfill It is pricey – but show me a calendar that is not.
Also, I cannot emphasize this point enough – it actually has many products which you and I would associate with being big enough to use (so mini or normal sized products). Many calendars are filling their boxes with too small samples/travel sizes
