I thought I would share with you my favourite four products from the Latest in Beauty 2013 Advent Calendar*. I really liked most of the 25 products but these are the ones I have enjoyed the most so far.
Steamcream £12.95 – I’ve blogged about this product before (in a different tin). This is a wonderful multipurpose product. It can be used as a hand cream, body lotion or a moisturiser for your face. It is gentle and hydrating and can be used on any skin type. Its a beauty blogger favourite and I can see why. It is very good for travel, one product with many uses. If you haven’t tried it yet I recommend giving it a go. Its very hydrating and quite calming for your skin. A big plus for me is that its handmade in the UK and its 100% Vegan.
Trilogy Rosapene Night Cream £25.65 – I love their rosehip oil and was excited to see this in the calendar. It is quite a thick cream and is perfect for hydrating and soothing, you need only use a small amount as it is quite concentrated. This regenerates skin, helps it look glowing, smooth and nourished. Its a little pot of gold as far as I’m concerned. I wake up looking like a better version of me with bright fresh skin. Its wonderful.
Dr Lipp Original Nipple Balm For Lips £11 – Naughty name that makes my husband laugh and ask why I am using it on my lips & not my nips. Over the cold month of January this has kept my lips looking smooth and feeling soft. It is really good if you suffer from very dry lips as it’s a thick formula but not greasy and sinks in very quickly, it doesn’t just coat your lips it absorbs and hydrates. This can be used on dry skin, eczema and also good for addressing those dry cuticles. Its is fragrance free which I like.
Q The Fine Fragrance Body Spray – I’m not normally one for body sprays, they remind me of being a teenager & liberally spraying some hideous sickly sweet cheap body spray. Alas this is not like that at all, this body spray is grown up in scent and lovely to use to freshen up. I did spot these in Boots and will be buying a few more. The most surprising thing to me was finding out that it only costs £2.29 – utter bargain!
Have you tried any of my favourite products from the 2013 You Beauty Discovery Advent Calendar*
Products that are marked with an * have either been sent to me for my consideration or I’ve received at events. I’m under no obligation to review them on my blog. However if I do, the reviews are 100% my own.
I love the design of Steamcream packaging and I think I’ll splurge soon since it’s made in the UK and animal friendly. 🙂

I love the sound of the Trilogy Night Cream, I will definitely add this to my wishlist. I didn’t buy any of the advent calendars last year, but think I might have to indulge this year!

I still laugh at the Nipple Balm, why on earth did they have to call it that? The Trilogy night cream does sound tempting, one of my favourite brands – damn you Vicki! 😉 x

These are some of my favourites from the You Beauty advent calendar too. It’s going to be a very sad day when the Trilogy night cream runs out!

I really enjoyed the Dr Lipp Nipple Balm but when I stopped using it, my lips went so dry – almost like they had become reliant on it and it look ages for me to wean them onto another product 🙁 xx

The night cream so my absolute fav & the tweezers are so good x
I passed the Tweezers on to my cousin as I have a good pair of HD tweezers
I loved the Trilogy and Q spray 🙂
They’re both so good
The nipple balm will always make me laugh! Some brands have such clever marketing!
I totally get what you mean with the body spray situation, but I love them for summer, they feel so refreshing against the skin! Its always nice to find one in a more subtle scent!
