Latest in Beauty: Grazia Beauty Advent Calendar: Days 17-24

Here's what I received in my Grazia Beauty Advent Calendar days 17-24:

Day 17:

I sneaked the lixirskin Electrogel Cleanser 30ml out of the calendar in November! See my review HERE. This was one of my favourite items in the whole advent calendar.

Day 18:

Weleda's Skin Food 10ml which is a cult classic. See my review HERE. Always happy to have another of these in my stash!

Day 19:

Malin+Goetz Advanced Renewal Cream 7ml which I'm excited to try. I'm currently using a sample of their eye cream which is fantastic.

Day 20:

Diego Dalla Palma Geisha Lift Concealer which unfortunately is in a terrible shade. Far too dark. The most disappoint product in the calendar for me.

Day 21:

Clean Reserve Sueded Oud EdP mini I'm always pleased to see a perfume nestling in an advent calendar and this one's a beauty. It has notes of cypress, birch, pimento, suede and amber.

Day 22:

OPI Nail Lacquer 15ml I'm not a polish fan so I'll pass this along. It's a pretty shade though.

Day 23:

This Works Sleep Together Calming Spray mini which you can use in the air, on your pillow or even spritz it on your PJs.

Day 24:

PK Prep Perfecting Spray 50ml which I'm looking forward to using! Did you get an Advent Calendar? What are your thoughts on the contents?

Latest in Beauty: Grazia Beauty Advent Calendar: Days 9 - 16

You can see what I received the first 8 days in my Grazia Beauty Advent Calendar HERE. I'm today sharing what I received days 9-16.

Day 9 - Dr Paw Paw Original Balm 25ml which is a full size product.

Day 10 - Aromatherapy Associates Forest Bathing Bath & Shower Oil 9ml - I love these bath and shower oils and this latest launch is lush.

Day 11 - Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 30ml - this trial size has been in many boxes! One I'll pass along.

Day 12 - Sukin Purely Ageless Rejuvenating Day Cream 20ml - I found this slightly too rich for my skin and have passed it on. Great brand though!

Day 13 - Code 8 Precision Liquid Eyeliner - I've had a few of these in beauty boxes. Again, likely to pass this one along.

Day 14 - Spectrum C03 Brush - this is lush! Supersoft and I'm looking forward to using it.

Day 15 - NIP+FAB Glycolic Fix Exfoliating Mask - single use - looking forward to taking some time out to relax and try this mask.

Day 16 - Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil 30ml - I used to use this years ago, will be nice to revisit.

In days 9-16 there are 4 things I'm really excited about trying and a few I've passed along. I wonder what the remaining days will hold! What advent calendar(s) are you opening?

Latest in Beauty: Grazia Beauty Advent Calendar: The first eight days

I hummed and hawed about picking up a Grazia Advent Calendar in association with Latest in Beauty. During their Halloween sale it was marked down 20% (was £85) and I thought I was getting a real bargain until Black Friday week tipped up and it went down to £42! (next year I'll be waiting!) Here's what I received during the first 8 days:

Day 1 - Anastasia Liquid Lipstick in Ashton, which I'd received before. It looks like a nice pink shade in the tube but in reality it's a matte brown. Not for me, I passed this one along.

Day 2 - Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Cell Repair Night Oil 15ml which I've used before and my skin loved. It's a decent size too.

Day 3 - System Professional Reconstructive Elixir 30ml which I use all the time. My hair loves it. A very welcome addition to the calendar. This is worth £17 and was one of the reasons I had to have the advent calendar.

Day 4 - bareMinerals Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion - again, I've used this serum before and it's lovely. 

Day 5 - St Tropez Self Tan Purity - Face Mist - I don't use self tan so I'll pass this one along also.

Day 6 - Omorovicza Illuminating Moisturiser - another product I was really excited about. Expect a review on the blog soon!

Day 7 - NARS Satin Lip Pencil - ooh I love this one! Gorgeous wearable shade.

Day 8 - Darphin Vetiver Aromatic Stress Relief Detox Oil Mask mini - I love the scent of vetiver. I'm looking forward to trying this out.

In the first 8 days there are 5 products I'm really excited about - which is not bad going! What advent calendar are you opening? (I've also got a lovely tea one I got from my friend Magi).
