One of your favorite childhood holiday traditions now caters to the beauty-obsessed. While advent calendars typically unveil a daily holiday-themed image or chocolate surprise in the 24 days leading up to Christmas, beauty brands like Jo Malone and The Body Shop are getting in on the holiday excitement, offering up mini versions of their top-selling products in the cutest packaging we’ve seen yet this year.
