Day 19 Advent Calendars

Sorry, this is a little late but this will be the first of my updates on the advent calendars. I will return where I left off when I exited and then sum up each one as I did actually originally purchase all five to assess value for money.
Here is day 19 though.


Yankee Candle Advent Calendar
A green tea light which smells of pine trees and christmas in the most green sense of the word. Not a scent I would choose but I will use this tealight.


The body shop advent calendar
Honeymania lip balm 10ml
This is a full sized lip balm from their honeymania range and has a waxy texture with only a slight scent. 
It has a sugary taste and lasts wll on the lips and especially great at the moment as the illness has really taken any moisture from my lips, as well as the cold weather, so this is particularly useful.
A great item and as I love the body shop lipbalms I will definitely use it.


Youbeauty discovery advent calendar
The Porefessional 7.5ml
I have a lot of these samples of this product and to be honest it doesn't really thrill me as I don't like how it feels on my skin.
Add to that I have lots of other primers I want to try/ prefer over this one and I am not sure if I will use it.


No.7 advent calendar
Nail Effect Disco Ball 4ml
This is a glitter nail varnish which can be used alone or over a colour. I really like it and can't resist trying it on when I see it. The nail varnish is great with densely packed glitter with the only downside being that if you knock it too much it peels the whole nail off when you ding it.

Benefit advent Calendar
2014 Advent Polka Dots Hair Tie  
I am not a fan of the accessories in the benefit advent calendar and although this will be used it isn't filling me with all the joys of spring. 
I would much prefer a beauty product to be honest.


The day 19 advent calendar selections don't overwhelm me but I will use them all.
My preferences are:
1.The Body Shop
2. No.7
3. Yankee candles
4. Youbeautydiscovery
5. Benefit

So, there are my day 19 advent calendar goodies. I willl be back with 20 soon. 
Sorry for delay.

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
