2017 Beauty Advent Calendars - review

-
Hello everyone,

I wanted to share with you all the beauty advent calendars I purchased this year and my thoughts and opinions on them so far. I will be discussing the quality, design and value for money regarding both the advent calendars featured.



Tanya Burr cosmetics 12 days advent calendar -

The Tanya Burr advent calendar retails for £30, however I purchased mine from Superdrug for £20. This calendar is aesthetically pleasing and the products are of a good size and of a great quality. Overall, I really enjoyed opening this calendar, however it did have some let downs for instance the compact mirror in my opinion, was of a poor quality and to be completely honest I was expecting something better from a brand like Tanya Burr cosmetics. However, the glitter eyeliners and lip-glosses were the highlights from this beauty advent calendar. I wore one of the glitter eyeliners on Christmas day and I really liked the appearance and effect I received from it. The Tanya Burr cosmetics advent calendar, in my opinion was value for money and full of great quality products. This is a calendar that I will hopefully be repurchasing next year, and I would highly recommend this calendar to any Tanya Burr fan or beauty lover!



The Bloom collection 12 days of Christmas calendar -

I love perfume, and I thought that this calendar would be a great introduction to the Bloom collection. Within this calendar I received 12 sized 8ml fragrances on the lead up to Christmas. There was some gorgeous scents within this calendar and some very different scents that I would of never even tried if I hadn't of purchased this calendar. This calendar is a great way to experiment with different scents and trial the Bloom collection. Overall, this calendar is affordable ( I purchased mine for only £12!) I really enjoyed using the scents from this calendar and I would highly recommend purchasing this calendar for next year.

what beauty advent calendars did you purchase and use for Christmas 2017?

Thank you for reading and I hope you have enjoyed.

Happy New Year!!

Sadie xoxo

Max Factor lip kit - review

Hi guys, Today I thought I'd do a review on an item I randomly came across whilst looking around the boots makeup stands. I was actually pretty excited when I saw that max factor had released there own take on lip kits. They had so many different colour options, not going to lie it was pretty overwhelming, I didn't know where to start, but the main thing that struck me about theses lip kits, was that they included a balm to lock in moisture, as there is nothing worse than having dry lips. I thought this was such a genius idea, and as a result I really wanted to test them out and let you guys know my thoughts and opinion on the Max Factor lip kits. - Max Factor lipfinity lip kit: spiritual 180 Not only is the colour beautiful, but the staying power and finish that this lip kit gives is amazing. The balm that comes with the liquid lipstick, is very moisturising and leaves the lips feeling really soft. As far as I've been aware, there is virtually no transfer with t

Testing Barry M!

Hello everyone, It was recently my birthday and I received some Barry M products. I have tried a few things from Barry M before, but it was a long time ago. So I thought I would do a review on the products I received to refresh my own memory and to see if Barry M is any good. On first impressions I really liked the packaging, it’s both unique and pretty yet functional. Barry M Unicorn primer drops - The unicorn primer drops really intrigued me I hadn’t tried anything like that before and I was pleasantly surprised. When I applied the drops they smelt like exotic fruits which I really like and they made my skin feel refreshed and a little tacky to help the makeup go on and stay put much nicer. Barry M Holographic lip topper - I have used the Barry m holographic lip topper a few times now and I really like it. Some holographic products are too holographic to even wear and look nice. However, this lip topper is just the right balance of holographic which I really like. It me
