1. Body Shop Ginger Sparkle Body Polish: I received this body scrub as part of a gift set at Christmas (see my 'what I got for Christmas' post to see the gift set. I love the scent of this product, it smells like gingerbread and cinnamon - it is not heavy though. This product is called a 'body polish' so it is supposed to be a body scrub but for me this product is just a body wash with bits in - it is not exfoliating at all! Overall, mice scent and it lathers really well but it is not exfoliating at all.
2. Vichy Eau Thermale Water Spray: I think this was included in a Birchbox and I have been using it as a facial toner. I would use this as a makeup setting spray but the spray isn't fine enough (as with the Avene water spray). A good toner, it doesn't irritate my skin and it is quite soothing.
3. Avon Soft Musk EDT: This is a oldie but a goodie from Avon, this has been around for a while. The scent is as the name suggests, musky but it is a soft musky scent. It is not overpowering and it is definitely an old fashioned, slightly grandma scent but it is quite nice - I wouldn't buy it again though.
4. Palmolive Naturals Nourishing Delight Bath Milk: I bought this from Superdrug a while ago as it was priced at something silly like 95p for a 500ml bottle. I have been using it for a while and it is a really nice product - it lathers well, it smells nice and it is fairly moisturising and softening.
5. Kiehls Crème De Corps Body Lotion: I received this in my Selfridges Beauty Advent Calendar and I have only just got round to using it as I have so many body lotions. This lotion is quite thick but nothing like a body butter. It applies well and it is a yellowy lotion which leaves my skin smooth and moisturised but it does feel a bit heavy on my skin. It absorbs fairly quickly and it does feel nice but I have tried a lot of other cheap products that work just as well (or even better) than this!
Here are the last four items I received in my Selfridges beauty advent calendar 2012 - its a bit late I know but I have been really busy the past few days!
The next item I received was the Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate which I haven't tried before but I am excited too - I haven't used Kiehls skincare before and the packaging for this mini item looks adorable!
The third item I received was a perfume sample bottle - the YSL Opium perfume which I have seen advertised recently and it looks great although I think the bottle looks quite outdated. The scent is quite musky, masculine and spicy - it smells similar to my one of my dads old aftershaves (woodspice from Marks and Spencer).
The last item I received in my advent calendar is the Kiehls Creme De Corps Rich Nourishing body moisturiser which I have only tried on my hands so far but it works well so far!
Well, my advent calendar is now empty! I love the idea of a beauty advent calendar and a few brands/sites have started making their own this year so I will definitely be buying one next year - maybe a cheaper one than this! Will you be buying a beauty advent calendar next year?
