Christmas Countdown - Look Fantastic Advent Calendar - Day 12

We're on Day 12 of the Look Fantastic Advent Calendar which means there's only 13 days left, I really don't want it to end! I've probably said this already but I'm really impressed with the brands and products included in the calendar so far! Great sized products too, I already feel like it's well worth the money!

Christmas Party Makeup Essential - Maybelline Master Ink Glitter Review

It's officially Christmas party season which means it's time to bring out the glitter! Easiest way to do it? With glitter eyeliner obviously. This isn't that silly, watery glitter rubbish you experimented with at your school disco though. It's way more advanced these days and actually wearable. That's what Maybelline have created with the Master Ink Black Gold Glitter Liner. Essentially it's like a regular black liquid liner except it has gold glitter running through it.

Christmas Countdown - Look Fantastic Advent Calendar - Day 11

I completely forgot to post this yesterday, I apologise, so here's a slightly late post of what was inside Day 11 of the Look Fantastic Advent Calendar. Behind the door was a box of Eylure Lengthening No. 035 false lashes. Eylure is my absolute favourite brand for false lashes so I was very happy to see these! I was also happy to find that they are natural looking ones which is generally what I prefer. If I'm honest though I hardly ever wear false lashes, but seeing as these are natural, lengthening ones I might give them a try out on Christmas day.

Christmas Countdown - Look Fantastic Advent Calendar - Day 10

Day 10's treat in the Look Fantastic Advent Calendar was a Nudestix Lip and Cheek Pencil in a gorgeous, rich red shade not too disimilar to Mac's Ruby Woo. I can't figure out what the name of the shade is however, I can't find a similar colour online. The only clue I'm going with is that it has the word 'Satan' on it! Surely no one would name a lipstick Satan, I'm thinking it might be a typo and was meant to say Satin, as in satin finish!

Christmas Countdown - Look Fantastic Advent Calendar - Day 9

This month seems to be just zooming by! There was something very exciting in the Look Fantastic Calendar today, a little 10ml tub of Cult 51 night cream. I had to google Cult 51 because I'd never heard of it and for good reason too. Turns out this stuff costs a whopping £125 per tub, hence why I wasn't familiar with it, it's completely out of my price range! It has fantastic reviews though so I'm really interested to see what it can do for my skin. Plus it smells incredible, I don't really know how to explain it, it just smells 'expensive'! Either way I think I'll be using this sparingly because I won't be able to afford to replace it!

Christmas Countdown - Look Fantastic Advent Calendar - Day 8

It was another new brand for me to try in the Look Fantastic advent calendar today, Bubble T Bath and Body, hibiscus and acai berry tea restoring body lotion with antioxidant technology. It's a bit of a mouthful I know! Essentially it contains extracts of ingredients including hibiscus and goji berry which are supposedly very nourishing for the skin and also have antioxidant properties. It's also paraben, SLS and SLES free and is not tested on animals.

Christmas Countdown - Look Fantastic Advent Calendar - Day 7

I completely failed at blogging yesterday, aka I left it to the last minute, got tired and fell asleep! So here's Day 7 of the Look Fantastic Advent Calendar on day 8 instead. Behind the door was a 25ml bottle of Paul Mitchell Ultimate Color Repair Triple Rescue. I've never tried any Paul Mitchell products but my Mum is a big fan, so already I'm thinking that this is probably going to go to her! It's a thermal protection spray which protects and conditions coloured hair. I did balayage my hair in the summer but a lot of it has grown out, so as far as colour protection goes I don't really need it. I regularly colour my Mum's hair for her however so that just about confirms that I will be giving this one to her! It's a good travel size too, perfect for when she goes away.
