It’s really easy to get swept up in the joy of beauty advent calendars. Let’s be honest, practically every brand has jumped on the wagon and as a consumer it’s really hard to keep up! Now I love myself a beauty advent calendar, but as beautiful as some beauty advent calendars are, they are also pretty damn expensive. Before you know it, you’ve spent an extra £250, when you’re already strapped for Christmas cash! This is why I’m a big fan of some of the more budget calendars and I love finding something that scratches the beauty itch, without breaking the bank!
This is exactly why I wanted to share the Bloom 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar* with you today! What’s lovely about this particular advent calendar is that it’s actually fragrance-based, which is a little bit different and it is great if you’re a fragrance fanatic! The Bloom 12 Days of Christmas advent calendar is a little bit bigger than an A4 piece of paper and it happy stands by itself, wherever you choose to put it. The design is a pretty festive townhouse, decorated with eleven windows and a festive purple door.
As you will have probably guessed, behind each window or door, there hides a little perfume gift. Once you open the door, you will find a little bottle of EDT, which is a mini 8ml sample of fragrance. The little scents arrive in little glass bottles and you pop off the lids and dab the fragrance onto the skin. It’s not the most ideal way to apply fragrance, but I have to admit, I’m in love with the little glass bottles – they are so sweet!
What I love is that the scents really have something to different to offer and really hit all ends of the fragrance spectrum. The scents include: Floral Bouquet, Lime & Ginger, Cherry & Almond, Pink Grapefruit, Sugar & Spice, Chocolate, Vanilla Bean, Berry Cassis & Fig, Mandarin & Lime, Orange Blossom and Bergamot & Cucumber.
The best bit? This Bloom 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar retails for £24, yet right now it’s priced at just £12! So, whether you just want to get yourself a calendar, or you want to buy one as a gift for someone special, this is the time to do it!
