Here are the products from the Advent Calendar that I loved the most. These are the ones I'd definitely repurchase.
From day 1, Lancome Eau Micellaire Douceur. I really like this product. It smells fresh and is light on the skin. Only negative - its not great at removing waterproof mascara and eyeliner. I tended to use it on a light make up days.
Day 2 - Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. My winter dry skin just loved this cream. I'm definitely going to be purchasing some more - I've nearly finished my 7ml sample. I loved the fact that it wasn't scented, was quite light and just sunk into the skin.
From Days 4 and 5 - YSL Rouge Pur Couture & Lancome Hypnose Mascara. The lipstick was absolutely gorgeous, lovely wearable colour and really moisturising on the lips (as well as cute container). I will definitely be checking out some more shades. This mascara is my favourite and a great size for popping in my handbag.
Day 6 was a lovely re-introduction to Lancome Juicy Tubes in shade Lychee, a light pink shade, I used to wear this shade all the time. I had forgotten how much I used to love these.
On Day 10 I found the most amazing eye cream Lancome Genifique Yeux which I absolutely adore. It's got a gel like texture and sinks into the skin around the eye area - it's too early to say if it's doing anything for my fine lines but I'm loving using it.
On Day 11 I got Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb EDP. Another perfume I've used before. Have really enjoyed using it again.
Day 12 was the day I got Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. This is an absolute gem of a product. Makes skin look more radiant by morning. Loving this.
On Day 14 I got Kiehl's Creme de Corps. I love this body lotion. It does take a bit of effort to get it out the bottle but it melts into dry skin areas. Love that its got a neutral scent.
Day 15 saw me get YSL Waterproof Eye Pencil. Love this product, staying power is amazing. Going to check out the other shades.
On Day 16 I got Lancome Bi-Facil an eye make up remover. This is great for removing waterproof mascara (and the eyeliner above).
Day 17 I got Armani Code EDP. Love the orange blossom, vanilla, honey and jasmine notes. Really wearable scent.
On Day 19, I got Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. A great product. A cream but feels a bit like a salve when you rub it into your hands. It's definitely helped my dry hands these last few days.
On Day 20, I got Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara. I love Lancome mascaras so love this one.
On Day 23, I got shu uemura cleansing oil. Love this, nice to try again.
All in all, I loved the calendar. I have found 15 products I love. The others I enjoyed using but wouldn't re-purchase (although there are a couple I've not tried fully yet) and even though I knew what products the calendar held I was still excited finding out what was behind each little door each day. I'm going to start saving for next year! x
I wonder if there is something amazing like this in Canada?! So fun!
