Essence's Holiday Tree is a lilac triptych that unfolds into a Christmas tree (three panels of printed baubles you stand on a shelf or hang on the wall) with 24 boxes behind them: makeup for eyes, lips and face, nail polish, a couple of tools and accessories.

Essence's Holiday Tree is a lilac triptych that unfolds into a Christmas tree (three panels of printed baubles you stand on a shelf or hang on the wall) with 24 boxes behind them: makeup for eyes, lips and face, nail polish, a couple of tools and accessories. Most of it is limited and no longer in shops, Essence says, so the doors are the way to get it.
It is the entry-level beauty calendar by design: Essence lists it at 29.99 EUR and everything in it is vegan and cruelty-free, as the whole range is. Its sibling this year, Baked With Love, is the one with the cookie theme.
29.99 EUR is Essence's own price; Essence does not sell online, so Amazon Germany is the listing, at 31 EUR when checked.
Essence does not list the 24 boxes. What it states: 24 limited-edition surprises for eyes, lips, nails and face, plus tools, most of them products no longer sold in stores, in three panels that unfold into a tree.
Each figure against the median of this season's beauty shelf — 181 calendars. Green is the better side of the median, red the worse; the median is printed so you can disagree.
↓ below the median of about $142 for a box of this kind.
↓ below the median of 4 here.
One of the cheaper ways in.
Essence doesn't say what's inside, and you buy it from Amazon or a drugstore rather than from Essence. For under 32 EUR you get 24 doors of vegan makeup in a box that doubles as the decoration.
