Tanya Burr's Advent Calendar

 If you also picked up the Tanya Burr advent calendar this year and haven't opened all the doors yet then you may want to look away, as I'm about to show all that's inside!



The advent calendar is 12 days long which gives you the choice to either do the first 12 days of December, the second lot of 12 days or one every 2 days. Personally, I did the first 12 days of December as I was 1. too excited and 2. thought that the items inside would probably be aimed at the festive season and all the Christmas parties. And that is exactly what the products are for with a heck of a lot of glitter and sparkle!







I love everything that's inside and think there's great variety. I'm so excited to try out the shimmer pots as they're a new product which I haven't tried from her range. The only products which I've really tried are the lip products and I have fallen truly and deeply in love with the matte lip in Christmas Stocking. The other glosses are also great and smell amazing!

If I wasn't already feeling festive then I certainly would be after opening all these doors! If you also got this calendar let me know what your favourite item was!

Favourite Christmas Candle


I love a scented candle but rarely love one so much that I buy it. However, on a recently Christmas girls weekend we stumbled across the scented candles on offer from Next and couldn't put them down. They not only smelt incredible but I loved the simple yet festive designs. 


Each candle is a different metallic colour which matches it's scent and would fit in with and festive fireplace. The scent I eventually settled on was the Gingerbread one and it is hands down one of my favourite scented candles I've ever smelt! They are only £7 and I think I'll need to buy some back up to last me through until next year!


The other scents available are Figgy Pudding, Under the Mistletoe, Roasted Chestnuts and Cream Liqueur. If you find yourself passing a Next store anytime soon I would definitely recommend popping in for a quite sniff but be prepared to leave with a new candle as it's impossible to leave these behind!
