As I mentioned in one of my last posts, I have three amazing beauty advent calendars this year. I posted about what I got in each calendar for day one, so here’s an update on what gifts I’ve got the past few days.
Tanya Burr 12 Days of Christmas Beauty Calendar
Day 2
On day two I opened up my calendar to find a mini nail file. Usually I’m not too excited about nail files, but this one is great for keeping in my bag and I love the different pastel colours on both sides.
Day 3
Day three was a mini pocket mirror. Mirrors are another thing I don’t usually get that excited about, but everything in the Tanya Burr calendar is just super cute. I’ve popped this in my bag along with the nail file.
Day 4
Day four was back to makeup. Inside was an eye shimmer pot in the shade Champagne Sparkle. I don’t have many loose glitters and this is a pretty bronzey gold, ideal for Christmas time.
Day 5
Today’s gift was this beautiful lip gloss in the shade Berry Pavlova. Not only is the formula lovely, but it’s a classic and flattering red. Again, great for the lead up to Christmas.
The Body Shop 24 Happy Days Advent Calendar
Day 2
Day two contained a bath/shower lily. Over the past year I’ve used bath lilies a lot more as they’re great at lathering up body washes. Whilst I was glad to receive another one, I do feel the quality of this one isn’t as good as the one I got in last year’s Body Shop calendar.
Day 3
In day three I got a small pot of the Vitamin E Moisture Cream. I have to admit, I wasn’t that excited to get this. I use a Clinique day moisturiser and already have a mini jar of this that I use if I stay at my partner’s. I find this an okay moisturiser but it’s not my favourite.
Day 4
I was very happy with yesterday’s gift as I got a small bottle of the Frosted Berries Body Lotion. It smells good enough to eat and is part of the Christmas range.
Day 5
Today I got a Soft Facial Sponge to cleanse skin and help remove makeup. Whilst I will use this, it’s another item I wasn’t that excited to get.
Look Fantastic Advent Calendar
Day 2
On day two I got a Ritual of Sakura Body Lotion by Rituals. This is a generous 70ml tube, which retails for £6. It applies velvety smooth and has a sweet Cherry Blossom scent.
Day 3
Day three impressed me yet again. I got a Loose Mineral Blush by Inika. I’ve never tried a loose mineral blush or any of Inika’s products, so I’m happy I got this. The shade Blooming Nude is definitely darker than I expected, as it’s a warm coppery bronze. If it’s too dark to use for now, then I’ll stash this away for summer.
Day 4
Yesterday’s gift was the Sleep Plus Pillow Spray by This Works. Whilst I’m happy with this, I know my partner’s got me some of This Work’s sleeping sprays for Christmas. However, as I’m a poor sleeper, I’ll be trying this out as soon as possible.
Day 5
Today’s gift was excellent yet again! I got a 25ml bottle of the Moroccanoil Treatment. On Look Fantastic’s website, this retails for £13.45! This is an amazing product for all hair types, plus Moroccanoil is a fairly pricey brand, so I’m really happy with this.
So that’s the first five day’s worth of gifts from my Beauty Advent Calendars. I’ll be posting in a few days on what other goodies I get.
I love these posts! Makes me excited to see what everyone got

The Tanya Burr calendar looks amazing! I got a sample of the Frosted Berries body lotion when I purchased the Vanilla Chai hand cream the other day, can’t say I’m the biggest fan of the scent. It’s very sweet and reminds me of a drink 😂 xx
