A Wax Melt Advent Calendar?? Whiffy Wax 12 Days Of Christmas

Hey beaut's!

Advent calendars are huge now, gone are the days when we'd count down to Christmas with a teeny tiny chocolate that disappears in a single bite. Now more or less every beauty brand has a calender out, theres alcoholic calenders, stationary calenders and my favourite...the candle/wax melt calendar!
Now as you all know I'm a crazy candle ladie and I love my wax melts,  my house just has to be filled with festive scents at this time of the year so the Whiffy Wax 12 Days Of Christmas Advent Calendar is just a match made in heaven with me! Within the calendar you receive 12 1oz mystery scented wax melts - they are numbered 1-12 so you can have a quick search within your calender each day to find the corresponding wax melt for that day! As this is a 12 day calendar you have a couple of options on when you can open it, you could open it every other day from the 1st of December, that would then take up to Christmas Eve! You could wait until your 12 days away from the big day and then start it or you could be like me and just start opening it from the 1st of December until the 12th - I'm just too excited and impatient he he!
You do receive a scent list within your calendar that reveals each days fragrance if your struggling to guess and spoiler alert....I've listed all the scents below so if your going to buy this calender for yourself you might want to skip down he he.
The scents within the calendar are..
Mulled Wine & Berries.
Christmas Cake.
Vanilla Creme Brulee.
Berry Christmas Cake.
Blissful Spirit.
Salted Caramel & Pistachio.
Cranberry, Orange & Cinnamon.
Welcome Home.
Toasted Almond & Plum Crumble.
Raspberry Sloe Gin.
Vanilla Spice.
Chocolate Orange.
I have to say all of the wax melts really do smell divine and fill your home with a nostalgic Christmas fragrance. The quality of the Whiffy Wax melts is amazing, you literally need a small chunk of the wax to pop into your burner and that's enough to provide a big ole scent throw, I wouldn't say their overpowering but they do certainly pack a punch. The wax also melts pretty much instantly so your not waiting around for the scent to start working it's way around the house, I find that really handy when you've got someone popping over at short notice and you want your house smelling lush quickly! What I also love about Whiffy Wax is that all of their products are made entirely by hand using only handpicked quality ingredients, no machinery is used during the manufacturing process and the products use recyclable eco-friendly materials and soy wax.

The Whiffy Wax '12 Days Of Christmas' Advent Calendar is £15.00 and can be found HERE, you could also use my code HAYLEY20 to grab yourself 20% off all products, that would make the calender just £12.00, what a bargain!

Blogmas Day 13 - What I Got Inside My Tanya Burr Advent Calendar

Hey beaut's!

Welcome to blogmas day thirteen...I have never had a beauty advent calendar before and for years I've always looked at them and then looked at the price and thought 'no way' because their always so expensive, however this year I saw Tanya Burr's Advent Calendar on sale in Superdrug for £15.00 so I just had to have it, and teamed with the £5.00 worth of points I had on my beauty card I manged to get it for just a tenner, what a bargain. Tanya's Advent is a 12 days of Christmas one so I could of either opened it when there was 12 days of Christmas left to go, opened it every other day until Christmas or just open it on the 1st of December and that's exactly what I done because I just couldn't wait, so as I finished opening all the doors yesterday I thought I would share with you all what I got inside. 
Day 1. Candy Cane Lip Gloss - I've always loved the formula of Tanya Burr's lip glosses as their not super thick, sticky or gloopy and this fuchsia coloured gloss is such a pretty colour that I can see me wearing in the summer months as well as now to be honest. 
Day 2. Mini Tanya Burr Nail File - Not the most exciting thing to find in an advent calendar, however it was practical because I have lost all of my nail files so this little beauty did come in handy.
Day 3. Tanya Burr Mirror - Again nothing much exciting here but I needed a new handbag mirror so it came in useful.
Day 4. Champagne Sparkle Eye Shimmer Pot - This is such a stunning gold glitter pigment, perfect for pushing over any gold eyeshadow looks.
Day 5. Berry Pavlova Lip Gloss - Another gorgeous gloss perfect for Christmas because it's a pretty red shade.
Day 6. Glitters and Gold Nail Polish - This is one of my absolute favourites from this calendar, it's a full size glitter top coat that's crammed fulled on gold sparkling glitters, I love it.
Day 7. Ice Crystals Glitter Liner - I love glitter liners at this time of year but usually I always use gold ones so I'm excited to try this silver one.
Day 8. Snow Day Eye Shimmer Pot - Another pretty glitter pigment, this time it's a white glitter that reflects blue and turquoise, I've never seen anything like it before, it's lush.
Day 9. Christmas Stocking Matt Liquid Lipstick - Woohoo a liquid lipstick, this one is a bright true red shade perfect to wear on Christmas Day which is what I plan on doing.
10. Treasured Glitter Liner - Another glitter liner but this one is such a nice gold colour, I actually put this straight on when I opened it, it's so sparkly and twinkles in the light beautifully, this is going to come in very handy during the party season.
11. Sleigh Bell Nail Polish - Oh my goodness I love this nail polish so much, this one is actually a red polish with loads of tiny red glitters suspended within it, so it's a bit different to Glitters and Gold that I got in day 6 as that was a glittery top coat whereas this is in a proper glitter polish.
12. Glitter Rain Nail Polish - This is basically the silver version of Glitters and Gold from day 6, it's a clear top coat that's crammed full of different sized silver glitters, it's so pretty.

Overall I really enjoyed having a beauty advent calendar this year and I'm really happy with what I got inside Tanya Burr's offering, as you can see everything is super festive and Christmas inspired with lots of glitter and sparkle which is just what I love. Everything within the calendar is limited edition too which makes is that extra bit special because these shades and products wont be available again.

Did you get the Tanya Burr 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calender? What did you think? I'd love to know!
