00:00Hi everyone and welcome to Hello. We are feeling really Christmasy today because we've got tons of beauty advent calendars
00:07with us and we're really excited because we're going to be unboxing them all for you, discussing the best bits,
00:14what we like, prices, etc. So, shall we?
00:17Yes, shall we start? The first one we've got is the number 7 Ultimate Beauty Calendar. I love this one
00:23because it's got loads of the iconic number 7 skincare in there, including the microdermabrasion exfoliator, which I'm a huge
00:31fan of. Also, it's got some of the best makeup bits and a little beauty blender, which I love. I
00:39know. And it's looked pretty as well. It's really pretty. I like this one.
00:43It's a lot of gold. Definitely. This one is from Benefit and it's a must for any fan of the
00:47brand because it contains 12 of their very best hero products.
00:52I love this one because I'm a huge Benefit fan. I live for their Roller Lash Mascara, right there. Excellent.
01:00And also the Hoola Bronzer, which is amazing. If you guys haven't tried it, you need to. It's so good.
01:05It's good for contouring because it's got no shimmer in and it's good for bronzer as well. It's amazing.
01:09I'm really excited about this one. It's the Iconic London, the first one we've ever done and it's exclusively available
01:15from Fortnum & Mason.
01:17You'll know Iconic London from Instagram. Literally, it's on every beauty blogger's Instagram page right now because they've got this
01:23amazing illuminizer. Beautiful.
01:26And it's used by a whole host of celebs, isn't it? So it's definitely a celeb favourite and this actually
01:32comes in the calendar. So it's quite a good value for money, really.
01:35Is that the full-size one? That is the full-size one. Amazing. Yeah. And it comes with a cute
01:39little makeup bag as well. And a few other bits. I like this one. I think this is really chic.
01:43I like it.
01:44Next up, we've got the Marks & Spencers Beauty Advent Calendar. I love this one. This makes me feel so
01:50Christmassy. It's so festive. It's so cute.
01:52And these could be used kind of as decorations if you wanted to. I was thinking that actually. Yeah, I
01:57think so. Really cute.
01:58And inside, obviously, you've got a treat every day which is kind of from their main, their hero products from
02:05their main M&S collection that they have in store.
02:08It's a really good beauty roundup actually. I think there's some really nice products here like the Ico Mascara, which
02:13I love.
02:14I'm a huge Ico fan. It's really good. And the Rodial Dragon's Blood Sculpting Gel. Have you used it?
02:19It's so cool. I've used that before. It's amazing. It's like skin tightening instantly.
02:23Yeah. I really, I really like this. I like the, I just like how Christmassy it is. They've gone all
02:28out and I love it.
02:28Yeah. Next one we have is from Soap & Glory. It's so colourful. We're loving the pink.
02:33Inside, what's really good about this is it has a lot of kind of full, full-size products and also
02:38miniatures, which is great.
02:39It's good for travel. A lot of our hero products as well, like the body cream, which I love.
02:45The primer as well. I don't know if you guys have tried it, but it's so good.
02:48It's the instant perfecting power primer and it just like minimizes the appearance of pores and it just, it's like
02:54for a flawless finish.
02:55So I love that. And it also comes with a miniature hand food, which is one of the best hand
03:00creams that I've ever tried.
03:01I have this on my desk. I use it all the time. Good one.
03:04So next up we have the Sleek Makeup Advent Calendar. This is a bargain at £35 because there's a lot
03:11of full-sized products in here, right?
03:15Yeah.
03:15And some really, really cute ones as well. Like I have to show you this mini eye shadow palette. It's
03:20so cute.
03:21You could use that every day, couldn't you?
03:23Oh, it's just so easy to carry around.
03:25Yeah.
03:25And it also comes with one of their kind of iconic products, which is their blush in rose gold, which
03:30everybody seems to love. So that's a bargain.
03:33And there's a mix as well of products and brushes, which I love because I'm obsessed with makeup brushes.
03:38And also as well, I think the design is lovely because it's gold, again, very festive and would look lovely
03:43on your dressing table.
03:44It's sleek.
03:45Sleek by name, sleek by nature.
03:47So we really love this one from L'Occitane, which is again, like the M&S one, incredibly Christmassy and
03:53it has this beautiful illustration inside, which is so cute.
03:56So French.
03:56So French, very stylish. And what we like about this is it includes a lot of their miniatures, which is
04:02great for travel.
04:03I love L'Occitane, it's just so luxurious.
04:06It's very useful, so we like this one.
04:07So next up, we have the CR Tate Mini Manny Month, which is a very cute name. And this contains
04:1319 shades in minis and then one full size.
04:18And also there's shades that you would actually use, so you don't just get an abundance of colours that you're
04:22never going to use again.
04:23There's some really kind of rich, lovely colours that would be great for the spring as well, I think.
04:27And you also get some treatments as well included. So this actually has a top coat, which is very useful,
04:32obviously.
04:33We have a nail file as well, so it's like a mix of nail care and nail colour.
04:39So next up, we have the Advent Canda from Declayor, which is obviously a luxury skincare brand.
04:43So this is for you guys who are obsessed with skincare, because this contains 24 skincare saviours, right?
04:51So good.
04:52Including one of my favourites, which is the Essential Cleansing Milk. I love this. It makes my skin feel so
05:00nice.
05:00Oh, it's trying to add.
05:02And also it comes with the Body Exfoliator. This is so good because it's so grainy.
05:06And again, the size is really generous. You could take this on holiday with you.
05:09I think what you get for your money is a very good value one. And again, like most of them,
05:14it does look lovely.
05:15It's very festive with the gold.
05:17And it's chic as well, white and gold. I like that.
05:19So this one is probably the most festive that we've featured so far.
05:23And you wouldn't know from the outer packaging, but it's actually shaped like a Christmas tree inside.
05:28And loving the great big bow on the front.
05:31But if you're a Rituals fan, this would be perfect for you because it features kind of everything that they
05:35do in the range that they're most famous for.
05:37So this is the Sea Salt Hot Scrub, which is lovely, as you say, for a pan per evening.
05:43And the packaging is really lovely.
05:45So this would be a perfect gift for someone or obviously for yourself.
05:49Gorgeous.
05:51So next up, we've got the House of Fraser version, which is great if you're on a budget because it's
05:55only £25.
05:56So it's really affordable.
05:58Really affordable.
05:59And it basically features all of the products from the House of Fraser's makeup line, which is called Colour Couture.
06:04And it features everything from lip glosses to you've got a blusher and eyeshadow.
06:10And also it even does kind of now products too.
06:13So there's everything there and abundance of makeup.
06:16It's great for the makeup junkie, I reckon.
06:17I think so.
06:19Quite unusual.
06:19I would definitely say this is for major fans of Lush.
06:24So it's not 24 days, it's actually 12 days.
06:27So probably best to use it at the latter part of the month.
06:30And it includes some of their best hero products as well as a smattering of their festive offerings too.
06:37Show you quickly, like a few of the different...
06:40Oh, this is funky.
06:42This is so...
06:43I've used this before, have you?
06:45I haven't, no.
06:46So you drop it in the bath and it kind of deceives you because it's gold, but it actually makes
06:50your whole bath turn blue.
06:52No way.
06:52Quite interesting.
06:53I feel like these are good for Instagram.
06:55I've seen a lot of people use these for like any cool Instagram videos and photos.
06:58Yeah, we love them.
06:59By the way, it suddenly smells like amazing in here.
07:02I'm getting so many scents from this.
07:04And it includes the Snow Fairy shower gel, which if you're a fan of Lush, you'll know that this is
07:09literally the best smell that they do.
07:11And it only comes out at Christmas time.
07:13So lots of people buy it in bulk so they can use it throughout the year.
07:16So if you're a big fan of this, you definitely want to give this a go.
07:18Nice.
07:19Thank you so much for watching.
07:21We're now going to fight over who gets which calendar.
07:24I hope you enjoyed it.
