Beauty Blogger Advent Calendar Swap | December 1st-6th

As some of you may remember, I did a summer beauty swap with Laura from Petit Moi - Big World after Kat from Tales of a Pale Face paired us together. Well, Kat recently did another post about creating a beauty advent calendar for yourself or a friend, and Laura suggested to me we do it as a swap! 

I haven't had an advent calendar for a few years now so this was very very exciting! Unwrapping all of the parcels all at once was tempting, but I've been good and I'll show you what I get every 6 days! 


Day 1: Barry M Textured Nail Paint in Countess - This was a wonderful surprise, as its the most beautiful nail polish ever! Thank you so much Laura! It's the perfect Christmas party shade.
Day 2: Eyelure Pre-Glued Lashes - Another thing thats perfect for Christmas! I needed some eyelashes for my work's night out and these will do the trick.
Day 3: L'Occitane Mini Shea Hand Cream - I love L'Occitane hand creams, they're so moisturising and this one is a great size for popping in my handbag.
Day 4: Katy Perry Killer Queen Sample -  I'd wanted to smell this since it came out, and now I have the chance! It's lovely and very floral and fruity it's definitely a possibility that I'll buy a bottle at some point. 
Day 5: Essie Smooth Sailing Mini - I don't normally wear a lot of blue nail polish, but this colour is stunning. It's like a darker version of Bikini So Teeny and I think it's very wintry and icy even though it's not supposed to be!
Day 6: Montagne Jeunesse and Superdrug Face Masks - You can't go wrong with a good ol' face mask, especially in the party season when I love a good pamper session! 

I am absolutely thrilled with everything so far and just wanted to thank Laura again - I'm absolutely loving this! 

You can see what I get everyday by following me on Instagram (beautyfiend_) where I'll be posting my advent calendar goodies daily!

Top 5 | Summer Nail Polishes


Illamasqua Stance: £14.50 - Although pricey, this is the most gorgeous purple pink colour. I honestly can't describe it properly, but it just seems so tropical! I think it would look amazing teamed with a golden smokey eye, perfect for summer nights. 

Models Own Hedonist: £5.00 - From last years Hed Kandi collection, this neon coral is an amazing summer colour. It's really bold and although I haven't worn it much I intend to when the sun comes out.

Essie Bikini So Teeny: £7.99 - Although this icy blue might look wintry, the name suggests otherwise. This pale blue with subtle shimmer seriously enhances a tan. 

OPI Did It On 'Em - Although this is no longer available there are plenty of similar colours about, and I think this yellow based green looks amazing with multi coloured glitter on top. 

MUA Bright Pink: £1.00 - What a bargain! These wee polishes from MUA are great, and I've bought them when I've been looking for polishes to match a lipstick/outfit but didn't want to splash the cash. Bright pink couldn't be more summery if it tried!
