Tesco Beauty Advent Calendar - Day 1

This year I managed to get my hands on the Tesco Beauty Advent Calendar, it looked brilliant from the start when I first saw it advertised and hopefully it will live up to expectations.  it cost £50 and was available online and through some Tesco stores.

Advent Calendar

The Calendar is said to contain everything you need to complete your Christmas party look, with brands such as Nip+Fab, Korres, Katy Perry, Dr. LeWinns, Baylis & Harding and Tanya Burr behind each door, it is bound to be 24 exciting days.

So every week up until Christmas, I will do a weekly round up as to what has been found within my Advent Calendar and if you follow me on Instagram, you might be lucky enough to see each item as I open it!  As today is December 1st, I thought I would be kind enough to show you what was behind door number one:


Advent day 1

Eyelure Lashes

Eyelure Lashes


So behind door number 1 we have a pair of Eylure naturalites 116 eyelashes which have an RRP £5 from Tesco. Described as follows:

"Add instant glamour to your look with Eylure Naturalite false lashes in 116 Black. The reuseable strip lashes are suitable for all eye shapes and all occasions, even regular wear. Adhesive and instructions are included with the easy to apply, lightweight pair of false lashes".


I might give these a go, though I am not the most patient when it comes to applying them.  That said, I am quite pleased with the content behind door number one.

If you have an advent calendar, please tag me so I can see what you get from your calendar and if you have a Tesco calendar, I would love to see what you get!

Bee Good Bee Pampered - Beauty Gift Set

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know that I am a huge fan of the brand Bee Good. For those of you who have't heard of them, Bee Good is an independent British skincare company based in rural Hampshire, who have harnessed the centuries-old healing powers of British honey, propolis and beeswax in an innovative skincare range, designed to make a real difference without the use of parabens, synthetic colour, mineral oil, silicone or SLS/SLES. Each and every one of their products are described as being packed with hard-working intensively soothing ingredients, there is nothing better to care for your lips than this nourishing and protective treatment delivered from the flower, to the bee, to you.

For a limited time only, the lovely people over at Bee Good have created a Bee Pampered gift set just for the Christmas and it contains a couple of their best sellers and some gorgeously decorated biscuits. It's all packaged in a recyclable box and priced at just £20.


Inside the box you will find

The Honey, Borage & Echium Intensive Hand Repair 50ml and Vanilla & Honey Lip Balm 10ml along with Three Little Bee Bakery biscuits which are just so cute, I didn't want to eat them - but now have!

Bee Good Lip Balm and Hand Cream

The Honey, Borage and Echium Intensive hand Repair is an intensive multi-use repair treatment containing moisturising British wild flower honey and replenishing British echium oil, to bring some TLC to hard-working hands and feet.  The hand lotion is quite rich and has a really good pump dispenser on it to help distribute the cream, one pump is more than enough for hands.

The Vanilla & Honey Lip Balm, which I am a huge fan of, is bursting with a blend of British beeswax and a blend of British crambe, echium and borage oils. Working together they bring some welcome relief and rescue to dry or chapped lips not to mention it has a truly addictive scent!
