Review: M&S Beauty - The Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar (2016)

My Beauty Calendar sitting on the fire place.

Every girls dream... A present EVERY day til' Christmas.
I think so too, right?

This beautiful advent calendar was a
Christmas present gifted to me from my Mum and Dad. It is branded by Marks and Spencers and has a product value of over £280. However, there was a discount of purchasing the calendar for only £35  if you 'spend £35 on clothing, beauty and home' which was amazing value for money.

Inside this heavenly tree was filled with 25 beauty treats and goodies! Varying from travel sized items (perfect for the handbag girls!!) to full-size items. Yes, FULL size products.

The best thing about this calendar is not just  getting into the festive spirit early and having a mini Christmas every day, running downstairs, past the Christmas tree all lit up with the ballballs sparkling you get to pull the box out of the calendar and unwrap a product (most were wrapped in green tissue paper - it felt like a present) It's about trying out a new brand, which possibly you've never heard of? Possibly not, or maybe you did not want to splurge on buying the item full price without sampling the product first.

Want to have a sneak peak at some of the products inside?
Of course you do...

There were so many brands included such as:


Some of the products from the beauty calendar.

Eyeko, Burts Bees, Pixi, Neal's Yard Remedies, Emma Hardie, Philip Kinglsey,Ren and so much more.


My top 5:
1. Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm: This is a perfect addition to my pamper routine, it made my skin feel so smooth and clean - I will be repurchasing!
2.Eyeko Skinny Mini Liquid Eyeliner - Black:Easy to apply, with a thin tip applicator (I can even do winged eyeliner with it!)
3.Pixi  Brow Tamer: Brows are sisters, not twins but this is now a holy grail make-up product as it keeps those stray hairs stay in place all day!
4.Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief EyeCream: Kept my eyelids feeling hydrated and helped with eyeshadow application.
5.Philip Kingsley Elasticizer:  Moisturizing hair treatment mask - another beauty must have
