I was so impressed (as you'd see in my unboxing on youtube) with day 1 - the Aveda Damage Remedy cream. I've used it a few times so stay tuned for my full review but it smells very fresh and feels so delicate on the ends.

Next is a Philip Kingsley product, the Body Building shampoo, which is an impressive 75ml. This comes in most calendars and gift sets, as Philip Kinglsey is a cult favourite brand so Look Fantastic gave us a product too!


The boxes were a little confusing and hard to put back or throw away (for recycling!) as they products are mostly sample size but in huge boxes. I wish they'd designed the shape a little better, but the goodies inside definitely make up for it!

These include Ren, Skyn and quite a few own-brand items. This is great for marketing, but I have yet to test them out. I do trust M&S as a brand generally though.


What do you think of these? The bedazzled item is gorgeous btw, isn't it?! This is the Prai Ageless cream.

Excluding the candle for aesthetic value, here are four items I was quite impressed with. The First Aid Beauty exfoliating pads, Molton Brown Pink Pepper bath gel, Avant sleep mask and Living Proof hair treatment. Three of these are full size, and all will last quite a while, as even the hair treatment can just be used on the ends of the hair.

A decent amount of items this year were full size or over 30ml! The overall value of the calendar is £420 which is approximately 80% off, a total bargain if you ask me...


Here is another sneak peek of the goodies you'll get, including a full size Elemis cream which is the second reason I really wanted to pick this one up. You can also remove certain items to gift to people, or use this as a lovely gift for a female family member. I would surely love to receive a calendar as you've got a huge selection of products from brands across the price spectrum.

Will you be picking this up this year?
