The likes of Harrods , Sephora and Space NK have all launched beauty advent calendars.

But experts say they are not a rip-off and are worth the money.

Retailers use advent calendars as a marketing tool to get you to buy more products.

Many scam websites have sprung up trying to take advantage of people looking for a good deal.

Space NK said it produced 30% more stock this year than last year but sold out within two and a half weeks .

Despite the expensive nature of beauty calendars, Ms Johnson says there is a "value perception" there.

Space NK plans to increase production next year and says there's room for more.
