Hello guys, and welcome back to my channel.
So you're probably looking at the backdrop right now and thinking "Emily, it is the 11th
of November." Well actually it's the 11th of November when I'm filming today, but it
probably will be the 12th when you're watching this. But anyway, you'll be thinking
"Emily, it is November. Why on earth have you got Christmas decorations in your backdrop?"
I was just ready for Christmas. I feel like I've autumned myself out recently, and I really
wanted to get in the festive spirit. And I just wanted to be able to enjoy Christmas this year.
And I'm filming lots of videos for Christmas. And I'm also doing a lot of content on my
blog for Christmas. So I thought I will do it now, so that I have all of December to
relax and chill out. I've got myself all bedecked out for Christmas,
I'm feeling very festive in my room today.
Today I'm going to be doing an opening and unboxing of a beauty advent calendar.
Which is something I've never done before, but I've always wanted to do,
and I'm really excited to do one.
I'm going to be opening the Feelunique Beauty Advent Calendar, which I was very, very, very
kindly sent the other day, by the lovely Feelunique PR team, which I was so happy about. I got
to go to their Christmas event a few weeks ago, and see all the new Christmas launches.
And it was so fun, and they sent me this advent calendar. And I'm going to be reviewing it
today, and showing you what you get inside of it.
So I will warn you now, I am going to be showing the advent calendar, but I'm also going to
be opening every door. So there are going to be spoilers. So if you don't want the surprise
spoilt for you, maybe click off after a while, after I've stopped talking about the actual
packaging. Because I'm going to be talking about the things that are actually inside
of it. But if you wanna know what's inside this calendar, then just keep watching, because
you will be finding out very, very soon.
To start off with, this calendar retails for £35 on Feelunique. The total value of this
calendar equates to £90 worth of products. And I have to say, I do like the design of
this advent calendar. It is very chic.
It's a navy blue background, and then it's got all these little champagne gold dots on
it scattered around. And then in the centre, in the same kind of colour, it's got the words
"The Season To Shine by Feelunique" on the front. And then it's got this little champagne
gold ribbon the front, which ties up the 2 doors.
So then you open the doors like so. Let me see if I can hold this up and show you.
And inside of it you've got the doors on the centre.
This calendar is a 12 day advent calendar. So it's got 12 doors in it. So it's not the
full 24 days, so that's another thing to consider. It's completely up to you how you do a
12 day advent calendar to be honest.
On day number 1 you get the INIKA Certified Organic Light Reflect Cream. Now, I've never
actually tried anything from this brand before, so it's all new to me, and I have no idea
about the brand. But it does say on here that it is cruelty free, and it is also vegan as well,
and organic. And it's a small size, but I guess this must be a deluxe travel size,
because it's a small size but it's a fairly decent small size, if you get my drift.
And this says that you can put it on your brow bones, your cheek bones, or your eye area,
to brighten it and to reflect the light, and to give it a little bit of shimmer I guess.
So probably nice for the autumn/winter time, because right now my skin does not look bright
in the slightest.
And that's quite a thin consistency. So that feels like it's probably something you'd put
underneath your foundation maybe, just as a kind of pre-makeup product. So that feels
very smooth actually, that feels lovely on my hands. I'm quite intrigued to see what
that does, because that sounds really, really cool actually.
On day number 2, you get the Gatineau Perfection Ultime Retexturizing Beauty Cream, which sounds
quite intriguing. I'm not sure whether you use this on your face, or you use it on your body.
Let me have a look.
It says it's a face and neck cream, so that will be quite interesting. I've never tried
anything again from Gatineau. I know my nan uses it I think, and she really likes it.
But I've never tried anything from the brand myself.
Let's have a little feel of that. Ooh, that feels very nice actually. It's very thick,
but it does feel like it's given quite a nice moisture boost to the skin. It's very brightening
by the look of it as well. So that will be quite interesting to try. I mean, like I say,
I've never tried anything from Gatineau. So I can't really talk about anything in terms
of the brand, because I've never tried anything from this brand.
But that does feel really nice. So I will definitely give this a go and see what I think
about it. And again, it's another deluxe travel size, so I guess pretty good if you're going
away somewhere. Pretty travel friendly as well, which is always a good thing.
On day number 3, you're getting the Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula - Coconut Oil Conditioning
Shampoo. Again, I've never tried anything from this brand before, so I've not really
got an opinion on it. That is a very good size though.
That smells lovely! Ooh, that smells like a Bounty, that smells just delish. So it says
on the back it's got coconut oil to add shine and moisturise, it's got monoï oil to hydrate
and pamper, and it's also got keratin protein to strengthen and repair.
So that sounds really cool actually, I'm really excited to try that. Because I've not tried
anything from this brand, and it smells amazing. And I'm always on the hunt for new hair products,
so I will definitely give this a whirl as well and see what I think of that one.
On day number 4, you're getting the Revlon Leave-In All In One Spray On Hair Mask.
I've never actually tried anything from Revlon really. I didn't even know that they did hair
products. So that will be quite interesting to try. I'm guessing you just spray this in
when you're hair is wet, and then leave it in as a leave-in conditioner. So that will
be quite interesting to try that, again. It's a small size. It's again another travel-friendly
product, so you could take this with you for travelling.
On day number 5, you're getting the Roger & Gallet [gall-ay]... I think that's how you pronounce
it anyway, I believe. And it is their Relaxing Shower Gel in the scent Fig Bud & Aloe Vera.
Now, I've actually tried their hand creams before, and I love them, they are beautiful.
Ooh, that smells lovely. It's very sweet. Mmm, I like that actually. I like anything
fig-scented, because it's very sweet, and very comforting. So I do really like this.
And I have tried, I think it was actually this hand cream in this scent I think, because
it smells very similar. And I absolutely loved it, so I'm definitely keen to try more things
from the brand. Because I didn't even know that they did shower gels and things like
that, I thought it was only hand creams that they did.
So I will definitely enjoy trying that out, because it smells delicious. And I do love
trying all different shower gels. I think that's one of my things. I like having a different
shower gel for each day of the week. It might be quite weird, but I like using different
things in the shower. I don't like using the same shower gel because I'll get bored.
So, yeah, I'm really excited about that, and I think that sounds lovely.
On day number 6, you're getting the Organic Pharmacy Lip & Eye Cream, which is a refreshing,
nourishing treatment for your lips and eyes. It sounds intriguing that you can use it on
your lips AND your eyes as well. Probably very good for travelling actually, come to that.
It has a little bit of a scent to it. It smells a little bit like it's got shea butter in
there or something like that. But it's very thick. So I probably would use that more on
my lips than my eyes. But it depends. Probably for a night cream I'd use it on my eyes actually,
but that does feel like it's gonna be very moisturising, it's gonna create a very nice
barrier for the skin.
So I think this will definitely work a treat for my lips around this time of year, so I'm
really excited to try that actually. Because I have not ever tried anything from this brand,
but it sounds really nice. So I'm really happy with that day actually.
On day number 7, you get the PHB Natural & Organic Eyeliner. Now, this eyeliner is vegan and
cruelty free. And I've actually had one of these before, and I do like it to put on the
lower lash line, to smoke it out a little bit. It's not something that I would use every day,
because it's a little bit more blue toned as an eyeliner, and I prefer something
a little bit more jet black.
But I do like this when I'm using a lower lash line eyeliner, because it's very smooth,
and it's very gentle on my undereye area. And sometimes when I use certain eyeliner
pencils on my lower lash line, it can irritate my eyes a little bit, and they get a bit sensitive.
But this one hasn't ever been irritating on my eyes. So I do like this.
On day number 8, you get the Invisibobble The Traceless Hair Ring, and you get 3 of
those in a pack. And these sound quite intriguing. I've actually heard people talk about these,
but I've never tried them myself. It says that they are traceless, that they avoid headaches,
they're hair-caring, non-soaking, strong grip, and a revolutionary up-do tool.
They sound really cool actually, I'm quite excited to try these. Because I usually have
my hair up when I'm at home, but it really does give me a headache. So these sound quite
interesting actually. I don't know how they're supposed to work and be invisible, because
they are mint green. So how is that supposed to work? But I'm sure there is a method behind it.
I'll have to Google it later on.
On day number 9, you get the Elizabeth Arden Skin Renewal Booster, which is a serum.
So I'm guessing you put it over the top of your moisturiser before you put on a foundation
or a primer. This sounds really interesting actually. And I've tried some of Elizabeth
Arden's products, in particular the 8 Hour Balm, which is the cult classic product,
everybody uses it.
And this is like a gel consistency. It does feel like it's gonna absorb into the skin
very quickly. It's very thin, it's not too heavy on the skin. And it's giving a little
bit of a glow. My hands are gonna feel amazing after this.
I like the way that's made my skin feel as well too.
Ok, so weirdly enough, day number 10 was missing. There wasn't anything in day number 10. So
I'm not too sure what happened there. But apparently, I think on day number 10 you're
supposed to get the Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream. I think, anyway.
[Mum, laughing off camera] Wah! Wah! Wah! [Emily] That's a shame! Oh man!
On day number 11, you get the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, and mine is in the shade Ibiza.
There are 2 shades you can either get in here. It's either Madrid, which is more of a really deep
red colour, or Ibiza, which I believe is more of a pinky tone colour.
That's very pretty actually. That's a nice deep pink, with a slight hint of coral to it.
That is very nice actually. And I do have quite a lot of these soft matte lip creams
from NYX, and I really like them. They are lovely on the lips. They are really nice and
comfortable. They give the finish of a liquid lipstick or a matte lipstick. But they don't
feel like a matte lipstick on, which I personally like. So I think that's really great. So you
can either get the 2 shades in there, either this one or the Madrid colour,
which I think is very nice.
And finally, on day number 12, you get the Rimmel Magnifeyes Eye Contouring Palette,
which has lots of nude taupey shades in there. If you're more of a nude toned eyeshadow lover,
or you like more taupey tones, or more neutral tones, you probably would like this palette.
Because it is essentially nude shades in this palette. So that's what you get in day number 12.
So that concludes this Feelunique advent calendar unboxing. I'm sorry that I couldn't show you
day 10. So I do think it's a good calendar. You're getting a variety of different products.
You're getting hair care, you're getting skin care, you're getting makeup, there's a bit
of everything. It's not like just one particular thing, there's a little bit of everything
in this calendar for you to try. And I think, personally, I do like this calendar for the
variety of products that you're getting in there.
Thank you so much to Feelunique for sending me this calendar, I really, really enjoyed
filming it. Do let me know in the comments if you've got an advent calendar this year,
and if so which advent calendar you've got. I'd really love to know.
