unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve avoided posting about Advent calendars other than a quick top ten round up for the early birds last month because with the exception of a few (which you’ll start to see next week) I am bored with them! What I’m not bored of is 12 day advent style beauty boxes because practically speaking, you can give them at Christmas for opening between 25th and 5th of January. I gave one of my friends a regular advent calendar for her birthday in November and readers – she opened it all at once. I’m afraid I clutched my pearls.
I know this picture looks squint but I’ve run it through the straightening app and it’s come out the same so *throws hands in the air*. This is the Cloud 10 12 Days of Slay (definitely make sure you say Merry Christmas SLAY when you give it ;-)) and as usual, they’ve struck a cordial balance between the beauty categories covering skin, hair and make up.

There are some lovely products – I’m very pleased to see Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or included because that is just the most lovely shimmery sheen for bare limbs and sparkly frocks. It’s funny how trends change – if you’re in my age bracket, you’ll remember a period of time when the beauty industry was literally obsessed with us putting glitter on our cleavages. I haven’t seen that pop up as a ‘tip’ for a very long time and it’s good news for our decolettes that can comfortably languish without fear of being covered in shimmering chunks of plastic. I’ll list out what’s included in the box which is £72.25 (value £361.25).
Zelens Melatonin B12 Advanced Repair Serum
Emma Hardie Midas Touch Revitalising Cream
Tan-Luxe The Mist
Vita Liberata Heavenly Tanning Elixir Tinted
Pestle & Mortar Hydrate Moisturiser
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or Shimmering Multi Purpose Dry Oil
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeline Micro Tip
L’Oreal Professionel Absolut Repair Molecular Shampoo and Molecular Rise Off Serum
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
Mario Badescu Pore Minemiser
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Pixi Glow Mist
I think this is a generous 12 dayer – I should note, although it’s obvious from the pictures, that there are various sizes but many are full size. I’d happily give this to any of my friends for Christmas (and in fact, probably will!). The wait list is HERE and if you join it you’ll be notified as soon as it goes live. They do (genuinely) sell out.
