Why it's worth it

This new advent calendar has yet to rack up many customer reviews, but shoppers are already raving about this pick from MAC Cosmetics.

"Many [advent calendars] skimp on sample size and multi-brand ones skimp on quality. I can always trust Mac for a quality product!" raved one reviewer.

"Love this calendar and it makes me so excited for the holiday season," added another.

"Love the lip colours and shadows," shared a third.

Despite the rave reviews, some shoppers complained that this year's calendar contains "too many lip products."

"I want to see more eye shadows, limited released colours, eyebrow products, false eyelashes and just more variety," one person wrote.

The verdict

With the holiday season quickly approaching, now is the time to get a head start on advent calendar shopping — especially since limited-edition finds like the Frosty Frenzy Advent Calendar are known to sell out quickly. If you love testing out different lip products, then there's a good chance you'll enjoy this MAC advent calendar. However, if you'd rather more variety in your beauty products you may want to check out one of the many other beauty advent calendars available at Sephora.
