MY OVERALL THOUGHTS
I did enjoy unboxing this calendar, although I did come across a couple of spoilers on social media which was annoying. I know I lot of people unboxed their calendars straight away but I wanted to unbox mine like I would a chocolate calendar (day-by-day). I’m glad there was only one hair product, as you know I don’t do hair products. I’m not overly keen on body care products either, but there weren’t too many and two of them were actually body washes (which I do like). The bulk of the products were skincare related, which I kind of expected because the LF Beauty Boxes are also like this. I didn’t really get any repeated items from LF Beauty Boxes, apart from the Molton Brown body wash, but it is a different scent to the one I received in a LFBB. I’m really glad I got a mini of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag Volumising Mascara, as I was looking at purchasing it in the future to test out anyway. I was surprised to see the Natasha Denona Blush Glow Duo, it isn’t the sort of product I would use but it is a great addition. I kind of wish there was a sort of eyeshadow palette (a mini would do) included. I got a 3INA The Cream Eyeshadow, but I never use cream eyeshadows, I prefer powders. I kind of hoped for a Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow quad, but LookFantastic don’t sell Charlotte Tilbury products.
 
Overall, I am happy that I decided to purchase my first ever beauty advent calendar and I am glad I chose LookFantastic, not just for the discount. The difference between how much I paid versus how much the products are worth is incredible! I would recommend that cosmetic/skincare lovers look at purchasing the 2021 version (Pre-order August/September 2021). I’m not overly certain that I will purchase the 2021 version, but we will see. If I do, I will do the twenty-five day unboxing posts for you again.

HUDA BEAUTY Purple Haze Obsessions Palette

I’ve previously only tried one HUDA BEAUTY mini palette before, but this one really caught my eye. I almost bought the Khaki version too. I eventually decided on only picking up the purple one as I wasn’t massively impressed with the Topaz Obsessions Palette I previously tried.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of translucent purple plastic and it is square shaped. It just has the palette branding across the front in place of a design and it has a clip closing, which you lift up to reveal the square eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across an opaque matte purple base. The eyeshadows do not have names. There is also a little mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get nine 0.64g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Shimmery Topper (ST) finishes.   ·          Smokey Shades ·          Buttery Mattes ·          Intense Metal...

Serial Sampler #42

I have wanted to try this fragrance for a very long time and I have seen the advertisements with Charlize Theron countless times over the years. For some reason, I just didn’t look for it to test so I thought it was about time I did. I decided to purchase a sample online.   It is J’adore by Christian Dior and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ J’adore’s original composition is a sophisticated harmony blossoming from Comoro Islands Ylang-Ylang and Damascus Rose Essences and Jasmine Sambac Absolute. ” Launched: 1999   Type: Floral Fruity / Feminine Notes Top: Pear, Melon, Magnolia, Peach, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot. Middle: Jasmine, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Tuberose, Freesia, Rose, Orchid, Plum and Violet. Base: Musk, Vanilla, Blackberry and Cedar. My assumption before testing this fragrance is that it would smell like an old classic (old lady) floral. It is very floral, but you do get the hit of the fresh fruity notes. I can mostly detect the Magnoli...
