The name sounds a bit like a football show but ESPA is actually a skincare brand. In my advent today I have their hydrating skin mask. I love the white packaging, although it is simple, it is clean and to the point.

I say this about everything, but I could smell it through the packaging, and it smells so nice and fresh. I'll be honest, I've never used an overnight mask before but I'm really looking forward to trying it. Especially during this time of year where my skin is really dry.

It's only a sample size so is really small but that's enough to try it out! I'll let you know how I get on with this, along with everything else I open this month.

I am a sucker for gold/rose gold and copper recently. So the packaging of this product won me over straight away. It's Nuxe Prodigieux huile de douche (and no, I can't say pronounce this whatsoever).

It's a 30ml shower gel that apparently cleanses your skin and leaves a satin finish. The version I have also leaves a shimmer. I'm yet to try it since I'd already had a shower before opening my calendar. However, I think as long as it is bubbly that it should be okay, right?

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!

It's the 1st December, do you know what that means? Advent time!

As I've said before, I'll be posting what I find behind the little door every day. I'll also be doing vlogmas this year if you'd like to watch me open them!

Today, I have the Aurelia Miracle Cleanser with Chamomile, eucalyptus, rosemary and bergamot. It came adorably presented in a black velvet bag with a discount code and cloth. I love hot cloth cleansers, as I'm sure you know since I always go on about the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser. This one is 30ml so a good size to try and it is filled with bioorganic ingredients. So I imagine it won't be too harsh on your skin! I'll definitely report back once I've tried it properly.

I hope your first of December has been a good one! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the month.
