Vegan beauty aficionados, this one’s for you. Packed with clean, cruelty-free products from the likes of Q+A, Dr Organic and Faith in Nature, it’s no wonder this calendar has gained a cult following over the years. It’s packed full of £170 worth of products for a bargainous £45, but you’d better be quick – it’s tipped to sell out by mid-November!
