Beverly says
I wish someone would do a lipstick one and a seperate one for purfumes.
Especially the purfumes, just little spray ones to try many different scents and then you could throw it in your purse or travel with them.
Regarding the lipsticks, sometimes with the lighting in the store it looks really differnent then when I am walking out to dinner and it seems a little too dark or not dark enough.
Just a thought but these are beautiful and very fun.
Rebecca says
I think my favorite is the Harvey Nichols Advent Calendar where I get to try lots of different brands without spending a whole lot of money.
Plus the way you lay it all out it seems like it is a really good value and good sizes for the products.
Good job.
Sophie says
So many beautiful choices to choose from. Some of them are such great values. I might have to get one for myself. I always remember your Charlotte Tilbury ones you have featured in the past. It’s such a nice way to have a special treat every day in December. Thanks, Kelly.
Laurel says
Oh my gosh I had no idea. There were so many choices. I gave my sister one last year as an early Christmas present and she loved it. It’s so nice they’re making big people advent calendars now.
TAMMY says
Wow all great selections. The one I just purchased is the nail polish collection from Sephora. Works great when I don’t have time to go to the nail salon. Warm week coming up in NYC for November. My girlfriends and I got a manicure and pedicure last night after work. Today for the office I am wearing a white mini skirt a red top and my killer red high heel sandals.
