$25 CVS BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDAR

Transcript

This is CVS's $25 12-day advent calendar. I had no idea they had two 12-day advent calendars. People say that the products in here are so worth it. Let's see. Comes with stickers. Number one. Stop, you're joking. It's the NYX Face Glue setting spray. Two. This is Finery's body mist. God, this smells so good. Three. Tester of La Roche-Posay's SPF 50. Four. So cute. This is a mini of the TheraBreath mouthwash. Really good because I usually buy this when I travel and we're traveling this Friday, so I'm going to take this. Five. I have always wanted to try like a frizz tamer because my hair is super frizzy. This is Garnier's Frizz Tamer. This one is my favorite so far. Six. Another set of Pixi eye patches. Seven. Little mini Dais lip balm. Eight. Dry shampoo. I think there is dry shampoo in the other CVS one, but hey, I'll take it. Nine. It's Maybelline mascara. Ten. This is my favorite color in the NYX gloss. A little mini version, but still, you can take this on the go. Eleven. Found it. These are blemish patches. Oh, look at the shapes that they come in. Last one, number 12. Nice, a sheet mask from Burt's Bees. When comparing both of the $25 CVS 12-day advent calendars, I still think the other one that I reviewed is so much better. You get so many more full-size products. This advent calendar was still really good. I got a couple of full-size products. Look at these products that I got. For $25, these are great stocking stuffers.
