Last year I went for the Ciate Mini Mani Manor Advent Calendar and I really enjoyed finding a new nail polish every day until Christmas and it really made me do my nails and have a lot of fun during the holiday season. This year though, I wanted some more variety but without spending too much money. So, when I saw the Selfridges Beauty Advent Calendar, I thought that it sounded really interesting and the cost wasn’t too high, £60.00 plus shipping. Now that the countdown to Christmas is over and with more objectiveness, what do I think? I actually liked it very much and the products are suitable for almost eveybody and are of good quality. Most of the products are not full size, which is understandably for the price of the calendar, but they are much larger than sample sizes. I would definitely recommend to pick this advent calendar up next year.
The products after day 14, were (in not the correct order):
Amazing Cosmetics, Amazing Concealer in shade Medium Beige. I have tried this concealer a coupe of times so far, but didn’t really enjoy it much. It has a rather oily consistency that doesn’t agree with my oily skin.
Eyeko Black Magic Self Sharpening Eyeliner. A nice everyday black eyeliner, although it is not as black as I would prefer.
Erborian CC Cream. This CC Cream offers light coverage which is great for a day at home or for the gym.
Caudalie Divine Oil. Now, this oil is really actually divine. Especially after a warm shower, massage it on damp skin and wait for a few seconds to let it be absorbed. You will be left with the softest skin.
Lord & Berry 20100 Maxi Matte Crayon Lipstick in Shade Intimacy. I absolutely fell in love with this matte crayon lipstick. The shade is the most amazing mauve-nude and it lasts for ever on the lips!
Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster. I have been wearing this serum for some days now and I can see the difference on my skin, especially when I wake up in the morning and look myself in the mirror, my skin looks refreshed.
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil. I don’t think that I will ever be able to live without this cleansing oil. It is a game changer. Just apply a small amount on the skin, massage it in and watch your makeup melt away. Seriously, even my cloths are not as dirty as when rinsing off other cleansers. Magic!
Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner. I worn this eyeliner for Christmas Day and I got a lot of compliments! Deep black and long lasting, precise and matte.
First Aid Beauty Deep Cleanser with Red Clay. I have only used this cleanser once so far. Will report back for more information.
Cowshed Gorgeous Cow Blissful Body Lotion. For a body moisturizer addict like myself, this body lotion made me instantly happy, with its fresh and uplifting scent!
Τώρα που τελείωσαν οι γιορτές κι έχω πια ανοίξει όλες τις πορτούλες του Selfridges Advent Calendar, μπορώ να κοιτάξω όλα τα προϊόντα με πιο νηφάλιο βλέμμα και να σας πω πως πράγματι άξιζε η αγορά του. Πίσω από τις 24 πόρτες του κρύβονταν πολλά ποιοτικά προϊόντα, τα περισσότερα από τα οποία δε θα είχα διαφορετικά την ευκαιρία να γνωρίσω και να δοκιμάσω. Φυσικά η πλειοψηφία των συσκευασιών ήταν μικρότερες από αυτές που βρίσκονται στα ράφια των καταστημάτων, κάτι που είναι αναμενόμενο όταν το κόστος του ημερολογίου είναι περίπου 80.00€. Κάποια από τα προϊόντα που είναι στην κανονική τους συσκευασία, είναι τα δύο eyeliner της εταιρείας Eyeko, τα οποία στην αγορά κοστίζουν 12.00€ και 16.00€ το καθένα Οπότε, πιστεύω πως αν κάποιος αγαπά ιδιαίτερα τα προϊόντα περιποίησης, τα Χριστούγεννα είναι η εποχή που μπορεί να βρει αρκετές ευκαιρίες να δοκιμάσει κάτι νέο, δίχως να σπαταλήσει μία περιουσία!
Δείτε παραπάνω τα προϊόντα από τη 15η έως και την 24η μέρα!
