The MAC advent calendar includes 24 products (with a full-sized Velvet Teddy lipstick!!!)

MAC has released an advent calendar for the second year running and of course, we are completely obsessed.

This year's offering includes a whole host of beauty treats with a full-sized lipstick in everyone's favourite cult MAC shade, Velvet Teddy. It retails for £129 which works out to about €150, expensive but wait until you hear the fabulous product list. The calendar goes on sale from Thursday, October 24 and it's sure to sell out in record time. Just look at the gorgeous packaging too - we might be a little obsessed with all things stars. The list of products includes: Strobe Cream in Pinklite Pink Pearls (sample) In Extreme Dimension Mascara (sample) Prep + Prime Lip Prep + Prime Fix + (sample) Brow Set - Clear Multi Formula Sponge x2 (+ complimentary service) Prep + Prime Skin Base (sample) False Lashes in 36 Fast Response Eye Cream  Cleanse Off Oil 6ml (sample size) Prep + Prime Natural Radiance in Radiant Yellow 6ml Pro Longwear Fluidline Blacktrack Extended Play Gigablack Lash Mascara Velvet Teddy Lipstick Boldly Bare Lip Pencil in Dirty Red Brown Rose Mini MAC Pigment Havana Eyeshadow (Extra Dimension) Mulch Eyeshadow (Velvet) Tempting Eyeshadow (Lustre) Twig Mini MAC Lipstick (Satin) Lady Danger Mini MAC Lipstick (Matte) Candy Box Mini MAC Lipglass You can sign up to the waiting list here and it will also be available to purchase from Look Fantastic and free-standing MAC stores.

Oh and in case you need further advent calendar inspiration,  have a look at our round-up of must-haves, many of which are on sale now. They might be pricey but considering you'll have a whole new array of beauty products that you can use throughout the year, it's not a bad bargain when all is said and done.
