Lookfantastic x Stylist 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar

If one Lookfantastic Advent Calendar isn’t enough, then why not have two? Well that is exactly what Lookfantastic has done with their latest edition of the Lookfantastic x Stylist 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar.
Lookfantastic x Stylist 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar
In a very festively decorated Advent Calendar, inside you will find 12 days of products to make up the collaboration between Lookfantastic x Stylist. As you can see there is a mixture of skincare, makeup and fragrance waiting to be shared.

There is a waiting list for this Advent Calendar here, so if it is one you want to know more about then, this is a great way to find out more. The launch date and price are yet to be confirmed.

Contents

  • Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish - 100ml
  • Elemis Superfood Glow Priming Moisturiser - 60ml
  • Oskia Renaissance Mask
  • Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate
  • Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
  • bareMinerals Exclusive Skinlongevity Long Life Herb Serum
  • Laura Mercier Eyeshadow Stick
  • Grow Gorgeous Intense Thickening Hair and Scalp Mask 
  • REN Clean Skincare Radiance Brightening Dark Circle Eye Cream 
  • Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb Mini Fragrance
  • MyVitamins Hyaluronic Acid
  • Pai Skincare Light Work Rosehip Cleansing Oil
  • Rituals, The Ritual of Ayurveda Candle
I really like the look of this Advent Calendar and love the mixture of products that have been brought together to create it. Lookfantastic has had a great year so far with its collaborative boxes, so this is a great Asvent Calendar to compliment that relationship.

If an Advent Calendar isn’t what you are looking for, then there is always the Lookfantastic Beauty Chest which again, is amazing value for money.

FeelUnique Wellbeing and Skincare Mini Haul

Feelunique are currently celebrating their 16th birthday and they have some incredible offers on their site right now.  With savings up to 33% off skincare, luxury gift with purchases, 3 for 2’s and savings on top brands such as ELEMIS, Caudalie, Nuxe, Bioderma , Tan-luxe and many more, it is time to fill your basket and also maybe get your hands on the birthday beauty bundle! Plus, if you get to the bottom of this post, I have an exclusive discount code which will give you some amazing savings!
FeelUnique Mini Haul
I always have a basket full of products which catch my eye as I am browsing the Feelunique website during zoom meetings (camera off) and when I am travelling around London.  I love looking in the 'New In' and 'Best-selling' sections to find out what people need to purchase or are currently loving, all in an effort to avoid FOMO.

I was kindly gifted a voucher to make a purchase of some of the items sitting in my basket, which currently stands at 15 products, mainly skincare, a few fragrances and of course some makeup are all there tempting me to purchase them.  However, with my voucher, I did purchase two products which I have lusted after for a long time, one coming from a brand I am just an enormous fan of and the other, I know very little about but have seen this particular item raved about on my social media feed.
FeelUnique Mini Haul
First up from Aromatherapy Associates, which is on offer with Feelunique with 23% off is the Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil (37.99). Support Breathe is the one oil we always have at home in its many forms, it is a life saver when you have that winter cold, feel a bit meh or just want to lay back and relax into nothingness.

The Oil has two main Essential Oils which are Black Pepper which helps to ease muscular aches and paints as well as Chinese Ginger which warms the muscles and the joints as well as boosting circulation.

The second product I ticked off my list and out of my basket is from Lumene and it is the Lumene Nordic Hydra Oxygen Recovery 72h Hydra Gel Mask (£16.24).  This mask is currently on offer with 22% off and it is described as being one which is perfect for hydrating skin and provides 72-hour non-stop hydration, making it perfect for dehydrated skin.

It is Infused with Nordic superwaters including pure Arctic spring water and organic Nordic birch sap. Alongside those, you will also find the inclusion of lingonberry, bilberry and cloudberry waters, all of which are said to come together to help to give that fresh, plump & healthy look.

I am really looking forward to trying both of these products and I will be back with more thorough reviews once I have.  In the meantime, I do have an exclusive discount code giving you 15% off and it is valid until Halloween - simply type in BeautyQueen15.

Best Beauty Advent Calendars Worldwide 2021

It will come as no surprise that here in the UK we have rapidly approached 100 Beauty Advent Calendars, they have arrived in all different shapes and sizes, prices and many are recyclable, reusable and designed to be re-purposed.  However, as well as being lucky enough to have a choice of Advent Calendar here in the UK, there is also a whole host of options outside the UK and as many of you keep asking, I thought I would share some of them with you as well as state where they are from.

YesStyle Beauty Box Advent Calendar which hails from South Korea but is available to anyone in the U.K. for just £130.98 right here.
Best Beauty Advent Calendars Worldwide
Inside this calendar you will find 24 skincare and makeup from K-Beauty brands such as COSRX, Holika Holika, I’m From and Dear,Klairs to name a few. The contents are said to be worth more than $350. 

Not one I expected to see, but from Chanel is the most iconic of all perhaps. 
Shaped liked a Chanel No5 bottle, the unique Advent Calendar featuring 27 boxes numbered from 5 to 31 - very clever! Products inside include everything from nail polish and lipstick to fragrance and other accessories including a bracelet and a snow globe. Currently on sale with Chanel for $825, I can think of a few people who will hope this comes to the U.K.


From QVC we have the TILI Beauty Advent Calendar and honestly, QVC need to release an Advent Calendar here in the U.K. - which they tried to do one year and nothing much came of it.
Best Beauty Advent Calendars Worldwide
Inside this Advent Calendar is 24 products from brands such as Benefit Cosmetics, Elemis, Peter Thomas Roth, Floral Street and Sunday Riley. It is made up of skincare, makeup, fragrance and is on offer for just $64.75 which is incredible value for money!

The next Advent Calendar to catch my eye comes from Saks Fifth Avenue with their Ready Set Refresh offering.
Best Beauty Advent Calendars Worldwide
Featuring a 
14 products from a range of skincare, fragrance, and haircare, you will find brands such as Eve Lom, Sunday Riley and Foreo and it is on sale now, priced at just $75.

From Anthropologie we have the George & Viv 24 Days of Beauty and I absolutely love both the look and contents of this one!

From Sephora we have two pretty amazing sounding Advent Calendars. The first one is the Holiday Vibes Advent Calendar. Here in the UK we might not be able to access the US Site but we can get onto the French site and order from them!
Best Beauty Advent Calendars Worldwide
This Advent Calendar has a value of over $100 but it is on sale for just $45/ €49.99 and it is packed full of Sephora own-branded products and would be an amazing way to get to know what they have to offer.

The second offering from Sephora is the Sephora Favourites Advent Calendar and this one is amazing and priced at just €129.90.
Best Beauty Advent Calendars Worldwide
Inside you will find brands such as Fenty Beauty, Huda Beauty, Benefit Cosmetics, Olaplex, Too Faced, Tarte and some of Sephora's very own products. Each of these 24 products will be hidden inside a numbered box and it is incredibly tempting to order it!

From Flaconi we have the 24 Beauty Gifts Advent Calendar for 2021 and it is a 24 day Advent Calendar.
Best Beauty Advent Calendars Worldwide
Worth over €180 the Flaconi 24 Beauty Gifts Advent Calendar 2021 is on sale for just €49.95, and inside you will find brands such as 3ina, Essie, Polaar and Weleda 
to name just a few.

Alongside those mentioned above, I always find it fascinating to see what Lookfantastic and Glossybox have to offer their customers overseas, especially when it comes to beauty boxes because often the products are so much better than what is in offer here in the UK, it is just a shame we are unable to grab them.
