Now that Halloween's over, I'm in full holiday mode, which means I'm eyeing up all of the best Advent calendars out there to decide which ones I want to get my hands on. Given that I stock up on skincare from Dermstore whenever I get a chance, I couldn't pass by the retailer's 12 Days of Beauty calendar, which features 12 *full-sized* products—worth a total of $888—for just $300, including a few of PureWow readers' favorite brands like SkinCeuticals and Paula's Choice. Not to mention, Dermstore rewards members can score it for 20 percent off, taking the price down to just $240—and all you have to do is sign up for a free account to score the deal. Below, find everything you need to know about the festive beauty box, including everything inside.

I'll cut right to the chase (since, if you're anything like me, you just want to know what's inside)—here's everything included in the 12 Days of Beauty calendar: Perricone MD Face Finishing Firming Moisturizer (2 oz), Medik8 Super C Ferulic Serum (30 mL), Jane Iredale PurePressed Eye Shadow, UBeauty The Plasma Lip Compound, MZ Skin Hydra-Bright Gold Eye Masks (5 pack), Obagi Elastiderm Serum (1 oz), SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight Treatment (1.7 oz), Tarte Double Take Precise Eyeliner, Virtue 6-in-1 Styler Cream (4 oz), Bioeffect EGF Eye Serum (6 mL), BeautySTAT Universal Triple Action Peel Pads (10 pack) and Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 6% Mandelic Acid and 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant (88 mL).

Now, that's a lot of beauty goodies, and unlike what you'll find in many other Advent calendars, they're all full-sized (no tiny samples here). In addition to it being a fun way to count down to Christmas, this gift box also just offers an incredible value—it's the perfect way to try out a bunch of buzzy brands and products without dropping a small fortune. And with so many moisturizers, serums and masks waiting behind every door, it's sure to keep you (or a very lucky giftee) glowy and hydrated through the dry winter months ahead.

If you want to grab one of Dermstore's Advent calendars for yourself or the beauty lover on your list, I'd do it sooner than later. And don't forget to sign up to become a rewards member to score the savings!
