ASOS is selling an advent calendar with £230 worth of free beauty products

ASOS has announced its new advent calendar for Christmas 2019 and it comes with £230 worth of free items.

The £70  Face + Body Advent Calendar  has 24 windows with products from beauty brands including Clinique, Emma Hardie, The Ordinary and Nars.

The calendar will be a rival to the Boots No7 calendar , whose waiting list opened this month for fans of the beauty brand.

The total content value of the 24 items in the ASOS calendar adds up to £300, which means £230 of free items once you take into account the £70 price tag of the calendar.

Shoppers can order theirs now by heading to  asos.com  .

Fans of sustainable living will be pleased to know the box is made from soy ink and is 100% recyclable, but has been specially designed to be kept and reused.

The popular fashion retailer revealed the new calendar to its  six million Facebook followers months before the first window needs to be opened on 1 December.

The post said, "It's HERE. Our ASOS Advent Calendar is now available on ASOS with 24 boxes featuring some of our favourite brands and products, with a total content value of over £300. This year we added a twist... we wanted to make sure our box was also 100% recyclable the box itself has been specially designed to be kept and reused, each inner box is FSC board, printed with soy ink and is 100% recyclable including the outer sleeve, which just gives it that little something extra".

However, some fans pointed out that while the box was sustainable some of the brands included in the calendar were not as green.,

One follower wrote, "What’s the point of having a recyclable/reusable box when on quick inspection a lot of the products come in non recyclable materials (or materials difficult to recycle) and a bright pink PLASTIC hairbrush! Doing “your” bit are you ASOS ?"
