24 Days of Christmas with Sephora

Monday, December 25, 2017

Let's be honest, most of us buying chocolate advent calendars end up eating the entire thing the same day we bought it. I mean... who has that sort of self-control to wait anyways. Sounds familiar? Yup, should've just went to IGA and bought a chocolate bar instead.

But who says they only have to contain chocolate? In fact, there are several brands starting to offer advent calendars customized to their products and Sephora definitely did not skip the trend this year. I was lucky enough to try their 24 days Winter Wonderland Advent Calendar packed with various makeup, beauty, bath and random accessories.

Obviously, I think the key to not being disappointed in advent calendars is not to expect too much from each slot. Just like how you probably know the chocolate in them are usually lower quality, I knew the products in this one would be closer to sample size than full size. If you're looking for specific products or generally dislike surprises (why would you smh..) then I don't think advent calendars are made for you. But otherwise, who doesn't get excitement from opening a gift every single day, no matter how small or irrelevant it is? If you want to know everything in this one, scroll down for the full list. Overall, I would say most of the products were meant more for testing purposes and mainly for fun. It's a great gift if you wanted to introduce a brand to someone or just to give something way more exciting and original than a gift card.

Additionally, as part of their winter holidays collection, Sephora also introduced a few palettes are UNDER $20. Not only is their packaging adorable, but for that price, there's a very generous amount of product in each palette. I have yet to try any of them, but I'm already in love with the colours. They will be gone soon as they're all limited edition so what you waiting for?
