I wanted one of these so bad last year and didn’t get one when I first saw it. It proceeded to become popular on social media and was instantly sold out. This year I saw it on the shelves of Target in November and immediately picked it up. Here are my thoughts:

1. Eos Pink Lemonade 24hour Moisture Lip Butter- I like Eos (I use it every night), the scent is pleasant and it feels like a gloss going on my lips. I’m not sure if it actually heals the lips (some chapsticks, despite that being their job, do not), but it does seem to create a barrier on my lips.
2. Winky Lux Uni-brow Precision Pencil- This was a tiny little thing but I actually kind of like it and the color matches my brow color for the most part.
3. Olly Beauty Gummies- I have used Olly in the past for other vitamins and they are just regular vitamins but expensive so I usually choose another brand. Not a bad brand though.
4. Sonia Kashuk Beauty Blender- This is so spongy and soft and probably my favorite item from this calendar.
5. Bliss Drench & Quench Cream-to-water Hydrator for All-Day Moisture- This item is cruelty free and vegan. When I apply it to my face it feels and looks like droplets of water and my skin is really smooth afterwards. I have used this for a couple of weeks now and I have not had a breakout due to the product.
6. Byoma de-puff + Brighten Eye Gel- This is unscented and includes Vitamin C. I have not used this much but when I did use it, it went on smooth.
7. Batiste Dry Shampoo- I have this product but I couldn’t really tell you how I feel about it as I am not a huge dry shampoo user.
8. Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier- I think these are a great way to get some extra hydration or for an after-drink boost but I’m not sure how I’ll feel about the green apple powdered probiotic kombucha flavor.
9. NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray- This is a 16hour wear. The bottle is quite tiny but I have heard about this product before and I am enjoying it so far.
10. Aussie Conditioner- This product has such an amazing smell and I have used them in the past. Aussie conditioner makes my hair so silky smooth.
11. E.L.F. Power Grip Primer- I have used this product before and liked it in the past. E.L.F. products usually never fail for me.
12. Tanologist Medium Self Tan Drops- This is dermatologist approved but I am not a self-tanner so I will probably give this to someone else.

I really enjoy just the act of puncturing the perforated “doors” so when I get something out of it as well, bonus. The perforation on this calendar was a little too strong and doesn’t give that satisfying, clean rip that I would like. I do think the price for the items was well worth it, especially if you are really into makeup.
