BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDARS OF 2016

I thought of doing this post because personally I've never had a beauty advent calendar before so I thought it'd be useful to research but also share them with you guys. This should give you an idea on what sort of advent calendars are out there this year.

1) Tanya Burr 12 Day Beauty Calendar
Last year Tanya Burr brought out an advent calendar but unfortunately it sold out fast online and I could never find it in any shops but this year she has brought out another one, this time I am planning on getting my hands on one. The packaging of it looks so cute and wintery, ah, i love it.



Price- Currently on offer for £15 instead of £25
Where?- Superdrug

2) Makeup Revolution Beauty Advent Calendar
Every year, I think, makeup revolution never fail to bring out a fabulous advent calendar, this year's looks so good, inside you get a range of makeup revolution makeup products. I think it also includes some makeup brushes! How good does that sound??
Price- Currently on offer for £30 instead of £40
Where?  Superdrug

3) Benefit girl o'clock rock
I really like the look of this advent calendar as it gives you mini versions of some benefit products, which I think is really good considering it would probably cost you  a good £5 for each of these mini's. The only downside being it is only a 12 door advent calendar, boo.
Price- £34.50
Where? Benefit website

4) Technic 12 days of Christmas Advent Calendar
I feel like this advent calendar is more suited to younger children or just younger teenagers as it includes some lip glosses and blushers. Although the packaging does scream younger kids to me. I have come to realise that in beauty advent calendars, most are just 12 day ones, that leaves you to open a door every two days leading up to christmas. Anyway getting back to this, sorry, you also get some lipstick and many other of their products.
Price- On offer at for £8 instead of £16
Where? Superdrug, however you can get it at more places like fragrancedirect.co.uk

5) NO7 Advent Calendar
This advent calendar has so much to offer for its money! I have always loved NO7 and apparently a lot of other people do too as this advent calendar always has been so popular, it has been so popular that some shops let you get an email for when it first comes in stock as it sells out so fast! This advent calendar has a little bit of everything including makeup, bath&body stuff which is always good when it is a cold winter day and even some accessories, who cant love this?!? Also the packaging is to die for.
Price- £39
Where? Boots but it hasnt come out yet

6) Charlotte Tilbury Advent Calendar
I have always only heard of good things from people who have bought any Charlotte Tilbury things, the most raved about things from there are her lipsticks. Though i havent caved in and bought anything from there yet because the products are ridiculously expensive for what they are! But i guess you pay for the quality, right? The advent calendar isn't that cheap either, infact I think it could possibly be one of the most expensive beauty & skincare advent calendars out there! Again only getting 12 doors.
Price- £150
Where? Charlottetilbury.com

7) Liberty London Beauty Advent Calendar
I feel like this would be such a good advent calendar to buy as it contains products from a variety of different brands, e.g: nars and bobbi brown. Again because of the brands that are inside, it is expensive but this is one advent calendar I feel like would be worth it, however I am not going to splurge on this soon.
Price- £149
Where? libertylondon.com

Now for some advent calendars that arent technically beauty but they can be classed as health? So really they can still fall into that category.

8) Ciate mini mani month 2016
I have never bought a ciate advent calendar, there is not really a reason to it but I know someone who has and they loved it! It is perfect for people who love to paint their nails as you have a new nail varnish to open every day. The good thing about this advent calendar?? It has more than 12 doors! Hurray!
Price- £50
Where? Asos but I think you can buy it from other shops & websites too.

9) The body shop 24 days of happiness (3 advent calendars)
I love the body shop, I always have done, their scents are like heaven (not as much as lush but still), especially their christmas scents. This year they have 3 advent calendars which are 24 days of happiness, 24 days of happiness deluxe, 24 happy days ultimate. They all have different prices because the worth of them goes up as the prices do.
Price- £60

Price- £80

Price- £99

10) Bomb cosmetics advent calendar
I have always loved soaps and bath bombs, lush is always my go to but I do love bomb cosmetics as they offer good bath bombs and soaps for a cheaper price! Its brilliant in my opinion.
Price- £19.99
Where? bombcosmetics.com




I am also sure that lush tends to bring an advent calendar out as I think they did last year however it isnt on their website so I couldnt put this on here because no price or anything.

I hope you enjoyed these beauty & health advent calendars that I managed to find, I will definitely be buying one!

August favourites 2015♡

August favourites 2015♡

These are all the products I've been loving throughout August&the summer holidays♡

1) red berry & jasmine scented candle from primark- oh my god, this candle smells so nice,so nice like quite a floral, sweet scent which i love in candles. It says it burns up to 28 hours which I don't actually know because I haven't tried burning it that long but I'm not really that bothered if it doesn't burn that long although the longer it lasts, the better because I love that scent,I would defiantly buy another and recommend it to a friend.


2) Rimmel London- match perfection foundation- this foundation has everything for me as it has a nice smell to it,weird but yes,it actually suits my skin tone as I'm really pale so everyone who has pale skin to buy this foundation😂(010, light porcelain), it has a pump so it's easy to get the right amount & it has quite a high SPF so it's good for summer.


3) Rimmel London lasting finish colour rush long lasting intense colour balm, in the shades 220 rumour has it (top red one) & 110 make me blush (bottom pink one), these do everything it says on the package as they last such a long time on your lips so would be perfect if you were going out, they come in a range of colours and they give a bit of a shiny finish.


4) benefit- roller lash, this is my lifesaver as it has a curved mascara wand so it lengthens your eyelashes so well, it volumises & makes it look like you have fake eyelashes on, also the mascara lasts nearly all day with maybe a top up in the middle. This is the sample size that was free in an issue of Elle magazine but I will defiantly be buying the full size.


5) garnier- intense care for body,hand&face- intensive moisturising cream, this is my go to cream as it has a thick consistency,it's a multi-purpose product & it can be used as a travel product, it's a win win situation, unfortunately im running low on this product but for sure ill be going out to get another.

6) The collection long lasting perfection concealer which is a fab product because it's again pale enough for my skin, has quite a high coverage for a concealer so any blemishes are covered, it says sixteen hour wear but personally I haven't tried using it for sixteen hours, who would?so that would be something I would try,but all in all its my favourite concealer.

7) The real techniques contour brush- I use this for blending my concealer under my eyes & on odd blemishes and it's such a good brush because it's so soft (so are all the real techniques) and it doesn't loose it's shape as in the past I've had brushes which have lost their shape after I had used them a couple of times which The Real Techniques brushes don't do,which I love.

8) Nivea pearly shine lip balm- I love this lip balm because you can use it for school as it gives a nice shimmery finish although it's sheer so it wouldn't get noticed by your teacher but you could also keep your lips nourished and have that shine to your lips. I use it everyday and it's barely gone down, there's still lots left so it could easily last me the whole year.


9) The MUA 5th birthday limited edition eyeshadow palette- this palette is defiantly one of my drugstore favourites as it has a selection of matte and shimmery eye shadows, although it has more shimmery eyeshadows than matte,i still love it. They are such beautiful shades which i could create different looks with. My most used shades are tatty, reveal, peacherine and fiery. If this was still available to buy, I would defiantly go out and get another if I ran out of it.

10) A random favourite but I've really been loving water throughout the summer holidays,not because it's been hot weather,but because I've been trying (for once) to keep my skin clear as I normally suffer with spots on my face (sounds ew) but to be honest it quite lacked my confidence. So I heard that water is supposed to help clear your skin up if you drink 2litres+ of water each day so I've been trying to keep up with that and along with my facial wash,it's made a difference. Also water flushed out your toxins so yeah,all together it's just basically a healthy drink. I next want to try fruit infused water,hm.

Hope you enjoyed my August favourites♡
