Hi Renu…
It's a skip jump and a hop for me!!!
I get a biggie biggie bum bum every year and refill my little tubs. The bom Dia is amazing!! I bought that the second it came out. I also use the coco cabana shower gel and the Brazilian 4-play shower gel. My husband is also obsessed lol.
All of them are a definite miss for me. Sponges… really! Wow this advent calendar season is not looking good so far. 😕👎
I agree with the L’Occitane calendar. I bought one a couple years back…. never again. I’m drawn more to Rituals.
There isn’t enough value for the costs for me. I won’t like half the stuff and I have to pay for all of it. I would be better picking 5 full sized items and pay for them than these calendars. I’m no excited here either. You better find me something better than these or I’ll be so sad during advent season. Look fantastic is my only hope!!!!
☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️… Seems its all down the drain so far
I can’t even think about supporting the Body Shop. With the majority of their products being sold through multi-level marketing, they are basically a predatory and unethical company in my eyes 😔
On a side note, I’ve only just discovered you on YouTube, and I love your straight forward, no nonsense attitude! It’s a breath of fresh air.
And the Body shop is more expensive this year and worth less than last year. L'Occitane is not worth paying money for sample sizes. What do you think of Lumene brand and also Holland and Barrett?
Man, the BS calendars ain't that exciting anymore for me. They don't have make up or Christmas season scents at all in them! And I am not a fan of face masks at all. Soooo…. I guess it's a no from me this year :/
The big advent calendar from The Body Shop is one of the few that I’m considering buying this year. They always have 3 sizes and you’re totally right that only the most expensive one is worth it 😉
Thanks! Temptations averted! Hoping Selfridge’s will come out with a good beauty bag this year!
The first advent calendar I bought was the basic L'occitane. For me, it was great because I knew that I loved the Almond Shower Oil and wanted to see what other products I loved. I discovered the scents I like (original and almond) and that they have a bunch of products that I am ok without.
The Body Shop is a strange one for me. When I was growing up, there was a store at my mall but at the time I couldn't afford more than drug store. Then. It was gone from the mall before shopping online was even a thing.
So far me, they have the tags of being an old brand that's too expensive even though they probably aren't.
Great 👍, it’s crazy all these calendars are out so early?! I usually buy the L’Occitane ones for gifts because their lovely packaging. I would love the Ritual ones if LF will post to Australia. For myself, all of Lush Christmas bath bombs 😂
The body shop isn't my favorite. I just don't like their scents. lol. But it is a better deal. I prefer L'Occitane but it's all samples. Wish they would at least put a full size. Oh well. Thanks again for all your work.
If be interested in Holland and Barrett but so far the others are looking a bit dull and overpriced. Perhaps gift sets would be better value for money.
I think that this may be my first year without a beauty advent calendar, so far they are l so very disappointing. I saw the Look Fantastic contents earlier today 😭
I hope I can get the deluxe bath and body shop calendar. I’m very excited to get it I used almost all the contents out of last years calendar and didn’t even get the deluxe one but i agree that’s the only way to go
Since 2 years I find the bodyshop and l‘occitane adventcalenders missing specials
I must be the only one who has not tried the bum bum cream, my plan is to get a gift set for myself and probably buy 12 lush and have my daughter to wrap all my full size really wanted goodies with numbers as so far I am not impressed by any calendar, so sad really
? Do you rem the details of L'Occitane's big sale? I have a memory it was 30% off all products. Maaaaybe for 'Black Friday?' But maybe for Boxing Day. Can you remember? Anyone? This is the year I finally indulge in the almond oil 👍💛🤞
I am a body shop fan and bought two of the ultimate body shop calendars last year. Still going strong – favourites are the grapefruit shower gels that I use as bubble baths, the clay mask, body butters ofcourse, and youth serum. Not sure about this year though, looking for more inspiration.
I am not a fan of L'Occitane though.
loccitane is funny
