There were
three to choose from:
- Small (purple) – £55 with £77 worth of products
- Medium (red) – £80 with £119 worth of products
- Large (green) – £140 with £204 worth of products
Needless to
say, I bought two of the small ones – after all, they were the most expensive Advent
calendars I’ve ever purchased.
The packaging
Possibly the
most beautiful Advent calendar I've ever seen. It was made from card and
decorated like a festive house. The top layer had a flap which folded up while
three figures sprung up in the foreground. Each product was inside its own box,
with 12 boxes on each layer. It felt like Christmas Day everyday unboxing the
goods.
While all the
products were listed on the back, they weren’t in order so there was still the
element of surprise – not knowing what you'd receive each day. The box also
came in super handy for storing the products once opened. I've literally only
just put it in recycling as I didn't want to throw it away. The packaging was
beautiful and practical.

I was pleased to
see a few of my favourite core ranges: strawberry, mango, and almond milk &
honey – but also so many products I've been meaning to try. Two of those were
the banana shampoo and conditioner, which I already love. My hair has become so
dry from bleach, but it leaves it looking shiny and feeling super soft. I may
have to invest in full size bottles of both.
I'm looking
forward to trying the British rose body scrub. I try and exfoliate twice a week,
and also dry brush. I don't think I've ever tried a product from this range as
I usually go for the fruit scents, rather than florals – but I was actually
really pleasantly surprised by the moringa range, so we shall see…
Also shout out to
the coconut soap, which came in full size (100g). This was great, considering
most of the items in the calendar were the smaller, or travel-sized items. Alfie
also loves the bars of soaps and used most of the satsuma one that we had in
the en suite. Needless to say, that went ages ago and has since been replaced
with the coconut bar.
The verdict
A really nice
mixture of products: hair, body, and skincare, with some accessories thrown in too.
A range of scents to suit everyone, from fruits to florals. And also, as I
mentioned, great value for money!
Would I buy it
again? Absolutely.
Would I go for
the next one up next time? I'm not sure.
