Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!Apologies for the delay in this post as I haven't been very well over Christmas time so was unable to get this post out in the time that I wanted to. However, I'm starting to be on the mend again so thought I'd finally share with you what I got in my advent calendar. Over the past 2 years I had gone off chocolate advent calendars for some crazy unknown reason (send help), so I decided to invest in something more tangible and longer lasting. After investing in a nail varnish advent calendar last time, I decided to aim for another beauty related one. I ended up picking up this gorgeous 'NYX Professional Make Up Kiss & Tell Advent Calendar' from Asos, with an additional 10% off too. To me, that was the universe telling me it was meant to be. That's what I kept telling myself haha!
The calendar ran for 24 days and included miniature samples of their many lip products. Previous to this I had tried the Lip Lingeries and really loved them so was highly anticipating what other lip products where included for me to try. The products included were:
Mini Lip Lingerie (x4)
Mini Matte Lipstick (x4)
Mini Soft Matte Lip Cream (x3)
Mini Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick (x3)
Mini Butter Lipstick (x3)
Mini Butter Gloss (x3)
Mini Intense Butter Gloss (x2)Mini Simply Red (x1)
Mini Simply Vamp (x1)
I personally found there was a great variety of products and colours included. Some of which I felt intrigued to try such as the dark simply vamp lip cream shown in the first photo and others I knew instantly that just were not for me such as the bright purple intense butter gloss shown in the image above. But that's what I enjoy about calendars like this, you get a mix bag of products to choose from so there will always be something for everyone.
On first impressions I really like the look of the lipsticks and of course the lip lingeries, the reddish coloured one featured below looks gorgeous! I can't wait to try that one out. I also like the look of the lip creams (the simply vamp & simply red ones) and the more nude coloured butter & intense butter glosses but the more vibrant looking ones and the soft matte lip creams are a no from me.Overall there is many I will definitely be keeping for myself to try out. I think they'll be perfect for future holidays or nights out too as they are the ideal size for travel or to fit in your handbag. The rest I'll be dishing out amongst friends and family as little surprise gifts.
Thanks for reading! Which colours have taken your fancy?
& What did you get in your advent calendar?
