It's always after christmas that people get loads of new products to try.

Last Christmas, as you may or may not know, I had the You Beauty Discovery Advent Calendar and have found a few products that I've fallen in love with. 

The first one to mention is the one I got on the 1st December, the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser. I love it so much that I've actually ran out and need to purchase the full size product. It leaves your skin so soft and I've found that it's controlled my oil levels, leaving me with fewer spots. 

The second thing I seem to be enjoying is- oddly enough, the thing that I opened on the 2nd December. The laura Mercier Primer, I like how a little amount goes a long way, but I'm unsure of when repurchasing I should get the oil free one and it is slightly oily for me. However, I am enjoying it nonetheless. It keeps my make up in fact and doesn't irritate my skin. 

I've been using two other products together from the calendar, these are the teeez desert metals mascara and the Eyeko eyelash curlers. Both of which work really well, and when combined give lots of volume. The only thing I've noticed is the more I use the mascara, the clumsier my eyelashes seem to get with each use.

Finally, I have been loving the Rodial Stem Cell Glam Balm. It smells very strong so is probably one thing that I don't like (I feel as though I'm eating roses) but it does leave your lips soft and moisturised, so I'd recommend if you have troubled lips. 

I do have a few other favourite products up my sleeve but I might leave them until the end of the month!

All of the products mentioned have a quick blog post about them so be sure to have a look if you're interested. The links are all available there too so you can check them out for yourself, maybe they might creep into your favourites sometime soon!

Only one more day to open!

Today I opened the Maddi Alexander Rose Bath Oil. 

It's 30ml so a good size, I can imagine it to smell really nice in the bath as it does in the pot, a very strong rose smell. I'm not sure if it will be bubbly or not with it being an oil. But hopefully it's as relaxing as it seems.

I might use this sometime soon!

As it's coming up to Christmas, then of course it will soon be December.  That means only one thing, an advent calendar!

Now as I'm currently not eating chocolate until Christmas day and always curious to trying brands, I'm having a beauty one this year. Thanks to my boyfriend, I will be opening the YOU Beauty Advent Calendar every day up until Christmas, so decided that I will do a daily blog post on the products inside. I've already had a sneak peak online to see what I have in store for December, and after looking at multiple calendars, this one seemed like the most appealing one to me; but of course, everyone is different and has different tastes.

The box itself has apparently over £240 worth of products in and is selling for £49.95 which seems a bargain really. The images below are just of the box but when it comes to opening it (tomorrow!) I will be sure to take some photos of the little windows and whatever product I will be delighted to find.

Speaking of products, any that I enjoy after I get to try them, I will soon be doing a blog post about so keep your eyes peeled!
