ASOS Face + Body Advent Calendar - Contents Reveal

The 2019 ASOS Face + Body Advent Calendar is an absolute bargain to be had at just £70 which is a slight increase on the 2018 Calendar, but the contents are still pretty darn good.

The ASOS Face + Body Advent Calendar has 24 boxes to be opened and inside each one of them is a product from a brand sold via the ASOS website. What I love about this advent calendar is that I had forgotten just how many brands are on the site and we are talking some real high end brands and of course some highstreet ones too.

Again, if you don't want to know what is inside, then look away now, but the calendar is available to be purchased right here.

Beuti Skincare Beauty Sleep Elixir

Before launching Beuti Skincare, Leila an experienced aesthetician found herself constantly on the search for results-driven, healthy and affordable skincare. After personally experiencing a severe allergic reaction after using a luxury eye cream Leila was inspired to take matters into her own hands. In 2015 Beuti emerged onto the scene and made a splash with the introduction of Beauty Sleep Elixir – a natural blend of 14 plant-based oils that reduce inflammation, prevent collagen and elastin breakdown and nourish the skin.

This Beauty Sleep Elixir Facial Oil from Beuti Skincare is fortified with fourteen precious plant oils which includes: 

• Pomegranate Seed Oil - antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers.
• Blueberry Seed Oil - promotes cell and tissue repair.
• Cranberry Seed Oil - rich in Vitamin A and E.
• Sweet Cherry Oil - improves skin tone.
• Seabuckthorn Berry Oil - powerful antioxidant.
• Red Raspberry Seed Oil - provides skin-renewing Omega 3 and 6.
• Camellia Oil - super high in Vitamins A, B and E.
• Chia Seed Oil - prevents breakouts and evens skin tone.
• Strawberry Seed Oil - repairs the skin barrier.
• Lavender Essential Oil - calms and soothes.
• Neroli Essential Oil - skin-regenerating.
• Sandalwood Essential Oil - astringent properties.
• Geranium Essential Oil - tightens sagging skin.
• Caribbean Coral - fights skin ageing and acne.
• Softalia Nut Oil - reduces the look of fine lines.

The formula provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits to prevent irritation, making it an ideal spot or blemish treatment.  

I really like the scent of this oil, for me the Lavender oil is the first thing I noticed but there is also a fruity tone to it as well.  It comes with a pipette, so dispensing of the oil is straightforward.  I find that 2-3 drops is more than enough for my skin if I am using it before bedtime as part of my nighttime routine and if I am using it during the day time, which allows for it to be used under your make-up.

As it is an oil, it is oily and the one thing that used to put me off using a facial oil was that I have combination oily skin, I wrongly assumed it would exacerbate the problem.  However, oils such as this one rapidly absorb into the skin, barely leaving a trace that they had ever been there.

Availability

This is a wonderful oil to use if your skin is feeling really dry or chapped, it doesn't irritate, it is easy to apply and I love that you can use it morning and evening should your skin need it.  Priced at £47, you can purchase it from the Beauti site.

Boots No7 Beauty Advent Calendar

For the past few years, I have signed up to buy the No.7 advent calendar because it is just such good value for money and it is one that always sells out really quickly.  For me No.7, in general, is so underrated and should feature much more than it does in my own blog posts, never mind on anyone else.

With contents worth close to £175, inside you will find a selection of No7 skincare and make-up, over 25 days and this year, No.7 has added even more excitement to their calendar because there will be 7 golden tickets worth £700 hidden for 7 of you lucky people to find. The Golden Ticket will be redeemable against all No7 products. 

Last year the waiting list hit 100,000 strong and this year it is expected to be the same. If you are on that list, you get 24 hours to purchase it before it goes on general sale.  So definitely something to have in mind. So,  if you really want this calendar then there us a waiting list to sign up to here, giving you the alerts it is ready to purchase.

 

Availability

For the time being the contents of this Calendar are being kept under wraps for the time being, but as and when products are released I will share them here. It is available from October 23rd from Boots and is priced at just £42

Ark Skincare Skin Protector SPF30 Primer

Ark Skincare is an award-winning British skincare brand, which treats skin by the age and concern using bioactive natural ingredients. combining antioxidants, lipids and vitamins.  The Skin Protector SPF30 Primer is a multi-award winning advanced formulation which works as a moisturiser, sunscreen and primer all at once.

We all know that one of the most important things we can do for our skin is to protect it from UVA and UVB rays, it is something that should come as natural to you as washing your hair and cleaning your teeth.  

This skin protecting primer SPF30 from Ark Skincare has been part of my everyday routine for a good few months now and I absolutely love it. The formula makes it easy to love, it isn't as heavy as a cream but it does have a slightly thicker texture than your average serum and when applied to the skin, it feels weightless but is quite refreshing.

For me, how a product feels on my skin when I apply it is important. I really don't like overly thick cream or serum, unless my skin is so dry and flaky that I feel it needs extra love and care.  As this is a primer which ticks more than one box, it doesn't have that silicone-like feel to it when it is on the skin, the tacky feeling after the application is totally absent.  I like that I can use this as a moisturiser, a primer and as a bit of protection for my skin and it can be worn alone or under your makeup. 

Having mentioned that Ark Skincare uses some pretty amazing ingredients, this Primer is no different, included you will find:

• Vitamin E – antioxidant and provides photoprotection
• Shea Butter – nourishes skin and protects from free radicals
• Sunflower – packed with vitamins and minerals
• Hyaluronic Acid – helps skin retain moisture keeping your complexion plump, smooth and radiant

I have been wearing this primer alongside a tinted moisturiser and a BB cream, both of which glide straight onto my skin without slipping partway through the day. I have combination oily skin, so a primer is a must for me if I want to do the absolute best I can at avoiding that afternoon slip and shine.

It is priced at £36 and can be found via Lookfantastic and Ark Skincare.
