Day 12 advent calendars

I hope you forgive me for being a little behind but we spent today and yesterday swapping two bedrooms in our house so Edward could get a big boy bedroom.
So I had no internet on my company for two days so now I am catching up.
And here I bring you yesterday's advent calendars.
Youbeautydiscovery advent calendar 
Glamglow youthmud tinglexfoliate treatment 15g
This is one of my favourite brands for masks after trying them in a youbeautydiscovery monthly box. Although I have to admit I do prefer the supermud over the youthmud.
I have a review for this product on this blog and you can find it here.
I will definitely enjoy using it plus as an added bonus this will do two applications as a little bit goes a long way.


No.7 advent calendar 
Stay precise felt tip eyeliner 1.6g
This is a felt liner that will be gifted to my aunt. I don't wear eyeliners but this one looks nice enough and is in carbon black and is a good size.


Benefit advent calendar 
Total moisture facial cream 8.9g
This is a large size sample of what benefit's marketing says is a hydra concentrated facial cream. I have a full sized from my Birchbox gift subscription gift so this is an extra of the product for me.
If the cream is as good as the packaging I will be really pleased. 
It has no scent and feels really creamy and on trying it on my hand a little goes a long way and it feels creamy and rich.
Beautiful presentation on this sample too with glass packaging.


Yankee candles
Another sweet smelling tea light today. This one is very vanilla and I really like the scent. But I still think that next year I will just buy big candles.


The body shop advent calendar 
Glazed Apple shimmer lotion 
I have two of these already from the apple sets that include the giant metallic apples, which I love, and I love the smell of this lotion.
Although it is only the scent which would induce me to buy more as I don't find the moisture is enough in these, perhaps due to the inclusion of alcohol.


Okay, a great day in terms of products and I will use four of the five and the fifth my aunt will like. So yesterday my order of preference was:
1. Youbeautydiscovery 
2. Benefit 
3. Yankee candle 
4. The body shop 
5. No. 7

A good day and today's advent calendar picks will be up soon.

Love ME Beauty September (Beauteco) 2013 box menu One

Image
Boxes cost £10 plus p and p of £2.95 monthly from  lovemebeauty.com . Received this box earlier in the month but was my favourite box in September by far. Matriskin collagen serum 7.5ml (sample size) worth approx £24.10 Detailed by Love ME beauty as a serum to both prevent and to cure various signs of aging. It has a purpose of filling and reducing wrinkles from the first application and removes expression lines in just 30 days. I love serums as a little goes a long way and this one is no different.  This one is a clear gel and feels nice when applied and is helping to fight off the wrinkles of this thirty one year old. Although per gram it is very expensive and would be too expensive for me to buy the full size version. Essential care Organic lip silk 4.5g (full size) £5.50 at  www.essential-care.co.uk Detailed as a 'tasty and nourishing blend of beeswax, Shea butter, coconut oil and orange essential oil to moisturise, repair and protect your lips i

Lovelula may 2014

Image
  I've recently signed up for a few boxes as I am looking at cancelling some again and this was one that I signed up for again after getting it a little while ago and deciding to try it again for three boxes and this is my first box of the three I prepaid for. This is my Lovelula May box that arrived this afternoon. So odd to see these leaflets again after a while away but definitely exciting. Eight samples in my box this month and although I have one sample (the lip and cheek stain) from a Birchbox I am really happy to see a few brands that I have never tried before and products I haven't tried as well as some goods that will be great to take on my holidays. So, what did I get? The first two items were from Fresh therapies and are two different types of samples of their natural nail varnish remover products. The first sample is a nourishing nail varnish wipe that is sufficient for 10 nails according to the packaging and the second sample is
