Day 19! Floral is pretty much my go-to scent so I'm quite excited by today's advent. It's Miller Haris Rose Silence. It seems like quite the expensive perfume when I was researching it on the internet, but then I guess quite a lot of brands are priced around £80-£100 nowadays.
First of all, the packaging. It's quite simple but it is only a sample size so it's hard to judge. The full size looks a lot prettier with roses on the glass. Moving past the packaging, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not normally a fan of rose, there's always been something about it. But this smells really light and fresh, not too overpowering. So I'm hoping that once I wear it out and about, it won't give me headaches and I'll like it! Only time will tell.

Hand cream, something you always need to throw in your bag! So this came in handy (get it?)
This is from The Organic Pharmacy, and it is Marigold and Comfrey Hand Cream. I have tried a little bit of it, you only need a small amount and it doesn't leave your hands feeling oily. It smells good and it's the perfect size at 50ml. I feel like this will last for quite a while.
It claims to leave your hands soft and silky, however, after one use I'm not sure I can make a proper conclusion. Having said that, my first impression is good and I'll continue to use it!

I hate to one of those people that say 'I can't believe it's this day or this month' etc.. however, I really can't believe it's the 3rd December already. I bet I'll say that everyday now- whoops. Another day means another advent, and today I have Moroccanoil Treatment. This literally smells amazing. As soon as I took it out the box I could smell it, I mean I hadn't even opened the bottle yet, which is good because like most people, I like my hair to smell nice.
I'm always wary with oils, will it make me greasy or glowing? I can never tell and to be honest.. I'm not really much of a risk taker.
BUT having said that, I'm really wanting to try this since I've heard it's amazing for your hair. It's 25ml so I imagine I'll be able to get quite a lot of uses out of it!
Have you ever used it and what did you think?

So todays advent is a Burt's Bees product! I'll be honest, I've never been much of a fan of Burt's bees but that's mainly because of the smell. However, my first impression of this product is that I can't actually smell anything- which is a good sign, as it's a tinted lip balm, and if a lip product doesn't smell nice, I can't bring myself to use it.
I guess so far so good then? The colour looks really nice, not too obvious, and of course a red lip is always something I'm extremely fond of. I think I'll like this product a lot!

Yes, it's that time of year again.. Christmas! I apologise if you're not a fan (actually, I don't, because I love it) because I have quite a few Christmas themed posts planned. However, if you are a bit of a Humbug, but like beauty then surely you can still find yourself feeling slightly festive with a beauty advent calendar?
Two years ago, I had the YouBeauty Advent Calendar, and found my one true skincare love.. Liz Earlie Hot Cloth Cleanse and Polish. So this year, I have the same advent calendar on the hopes of finding something else that will become a staple in my routine.
I posted each product everyday with a first impression and I'm thinking about doing the same this time, if you're interested. There are so many amazing beauty calendars out this year, did you manage to pick yourself one up? And if so, which one/ones- I'm not one to judge.
Roll on 1st December!
Emma :)
