I really wanted to do a blog post on what the ASOS advent calendar has inside, however I didn't want to open it up before Christmas obviously don't want to ruin it for myself and you.
I paid £55 for the ASOS Face + Body Advent Calendar as I got it on 20% off and had £5 left of a gift card and it's already amounted up to that amount in worth by Day 5. So, this is everything I got in my calendar day 1-7.
Day 1
bareMinerals SKINLONGEVITY Vital Power Infusion (£10). I've actually used to have this product before and used it religiously for a while so it's nice to have a miniature back in my collection. It was a nice surprise to have a well-known brand in Day 1 as well. This serum is to be used morning and night after cleansing for a more overall radiant and healthy looking complexion.
Day 2
Emma Hardie Purifying Pink Clay Detox Mask (£15 15ml) . It wouldn't be a beauty advent calendar without a face mask. I've not tried Emma Hardie products before but this mask has incredible reviews online so I'm excited to give it a try. A botanical-rich detoxifying face mask that contributes towards improved skin tone and texture and cannot wait to give it a try!
Day 3
Oh now who doesn't love a sheet mask. Door 3 I think is the biggest door of all the beauty calendar and I'm so excited to give this a go. The Cicapair Tiger Grass Calming Mask (£5.50) is a mask aimed at soothing sensitive skin. I'm much more of a sheet mask kind of person on a regular basis as I find they are less abrasive on my skin so will definitely be doing this one this weekend!
I've tried Clinique Moisture Surge (£12 15ml) a couple of times and although it's not my go-to moisturiser I know that a lot of people will be thrilled this is in the advent calendar. This is a cult favourite for so many people and although it's not my moisturiser of choice, I am definitely going to be keeping this handy for any weekend trips as it's such a decent sized mini.
Day 5
I was so excited that there was the First Aid Beauty Cleanser (£9 2 oz) in here. As regular blog readers will know, I'm obsessed with this brand and this is such a good sized product to get in here. First Aid Beauty is a fabulous brand for those with dehydrated and sensitive skin.
Day 6
Day 6
I knew when I was buying this calendar that there would be a roller in there, which yes, potentially may have swayed me to getting this particular one. I actually thought this was going to be in day 24, but nope, it came at Day 6, when I had a raging hangover and it felt bloody fabulous under my eyes and on my forehead. It's a Psychic Sisters Rose Quartz Mini Roller (£19.95) and what fabulous value for money!
Then today, day 7 was a Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment (£15 30ml) . This has such fabulous reviews online and seeing as it's been an absolute age since I've gotten my hair done, it needs a bit of TLC and all the help it can get. I said in 2020 I wanted to be better at using haircare products and I'm excited to give this one a go.
Not going to lie, I'm really enjoying my beauty calendar this year! Did you get one this year and if so, how's the first week of door opening been?
I love that you're sharing what's inside, I've been sceptical about beauty advent calendars in the past but this looks like you get lots of amazing goodies in it! I might have to give one a go next year :) x
ReplyDeleteI know I was too. I did quite a lot of research on making sure there were brands and products I knew I would actually use. So I did know what was in it in October, just not the days and tbh I've actually completely forgotten! It was definitely worth it already though xx

It is isn't it! I hope the other weeks are as good haha! I have to say I did a lot of waiting for it to be available on that 20% off as that made a big difference! Think it was like £75 full price xx
DeleteI’ve been wanting to try the Clinique Moisture surge range!

It's been good! I would like a couple of makeup bits more as it is essentially just skincare at the mo x
DeleteWow this looks such good value for money, I love the look of the rose quartz roller and it must be so exciting getting to reveal a new beauty gift every single day :D I'd love to try one of these for next year - or if I can get a last minute reduced one somewhere haha! This is so helpful xx

I know! Not going to lie, I knew it was going to be in there and it was one of the products that swayed me to buy the calendar! x
DeleteI've never gotten myself an advent calendar because knowing myself I'll just open up all the compartments at once. x

The saving you got on this calendar is insane! Especially considering the products you got inside it in the first week alone!

This looks like such a great calendar! Even though I'm definitely in the minority of those who don't like sheet masks, the texture is not for me. I really want to try First Aid beauty, and that cleanser sounds fab xx
