Day 9 advent calendars

A better day than yesterday today and today other than the tea light surprising me a little, as it wasn't pink or white or red, all the items are fab and huge size samples for the formats that they are and I am really happy.


No.7 advent calendar
Protect & perfect intense night cream 25ml
I always like a good night cream so receiving one today is a nice thing for me. This one is formulated to help with wrinkles and deep lines and will also revitalise and renew your skin.
A great size too at 25ml.


The Body shop advent calendar
Strawberry hand cream 30ml
I know that I wasn't particularly enamoured with the last hand cream by the body shop but this one has a delicious smell and although still drying on my hands it can be perhaps more excused as the smell is so nice.
Although I still have to admit I would rather buy other brands of hand creams where I can understand the ingredients list.


Youbeautydiscovery advent calendar 
Teeez desert metals mascara volume (full size 10ml)
I think I mentioned a few days ago I had a lot of mascaras and I think by the end of my advent calendars I will quite a few more.
But this one is from a good brand and looks to have good attributes like being smudge proof and long lasting according to the packaging.


Benefit advent calendar 
Dandelion ultra plush lip gloss 6.5ml
This is a beautiful lip gloss and is in a size which means  that I am most likely to use it as I don't use lip gloss too often so a larger lip gloss would likely go to waste.

As you can see it gives a lovely pink sheen to my lips and I really like it. Leaves my lips feeling soft with a hint of colour.


Yankee candle advent calendar 
Ohhhh a green one. It smells like christmas trees to me and would make a great change from the sugary sweet candles I have been receiving. Not one I would buy as I prefer sugary sweet but I like it a lot.


Hard to choose an order again today but on reflection my order of preference would be:
1. No.7
2. Benefit 
3. Yankee candle
4. The body shop 
5. Youbeauty

Been a good day in advent calendar land though and look forward to using it all. 
Hope you have all been enjoying these posts.
Have a lovely day.

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
