The Pip Box | Countdown To Christmas Advent Calendar Doors 16-20


I know my blog posts have sort of taken a back seat at the moment but I've been spending most of my time trying to get rooms finished. I've also been working hard on my revamp and trying to get things sorted for my blog relaunch in the new year! I'm totally excited about it. 


My advent calendar has sadly been feeling a little neglected so I've been opening a few doors at a time where I can. I was hoping to get this post up Thursday but my day ran away with me and I've only just had chance to sit and get this written up. 


If you missed any of my other posts you can catch up here, here, here, herehere, herehere and here.


For those of you who don't know what The Pip Box is all about, it's a cruelty-free monthly subscription beauty box. It costs £13.50 (plus P&P) and you get 5 beauty treats each month. It's also vegan friendly.

On the 16th, 17th, 18th 19th, and 20th days of Christmas The Pip Box gave to me......


More amazing products starting off with this lovely Chocolate Lip Butter from Lucky Cloud Skincare. I've tried a Vanilla and an Original Lip Butters before and really like them. The packaging is so cute as well. They're packed with lots of great ingredients and retail at £4.50, so great on the pocket too. You do get a lot of product inside these nifty tins. 



Out of the Advent Calendar next is this really pretty sparkly Medusa's Makeup Mystical Eye Dust in Chrysaor. I like this American brand. I've tried a few of their products before and reviewed their false lashes here, so really excited to see this and give this a try. 


This doesn't have to be used just on your eyes but can also be applied to your lips and face. I bet this will look gorgeous for a night out. It's like a rose gold/purple shade, it seems slightly duo-chromey. 


It retails at £9.99 and I can't wait to wear this over Christmas, I'm wondering if you can wear it wet too. As you can see it's a really soft shade. 


Out next is this Okko Skincare Mini Face Balm. I received this in a beauty box in February and used it mainly as a lip balm but also on my cuticles and it worked wonders. I'm not a massive face balm person but as the winter months are getting colder I'll definitely be using this on those really dry spots on my face and especially around my nose. This retails at £4. I have a few of their other mini products to try so really excited for that.  



Behind Door 19 is this really pretty looking cream lipstick by a brand I'd never heard of before, Elate Beauty. Really excited to try this and the packaging is so cute. It's made from bamboo and the shade I got is called Muse. 


It looks like a copper shade or a rose gold I'm not quite sure but really excited to give it a try. It's not a lip shade I'd go for if I'm honest. It retails at £16.99 so can't wait to see what this looks like on. 


The last product out of the calendar is another brand I've never heard of BAO skincare, those of you that know me, know I love my baths (even though I don't get to enjoy them alone) and I love my bath products so really excited to give these lovely smelling Detox Bath Salts a try. 


These little guys retail at £1.99 and I think you could get a good couple of baths out of this. I know the munchkin will enjoy these more than me because he'll have them in his bath. I love the citrusy scents so this will be amazing and fresh smelling. 

I've absolutely been loving all the products and can't wait to review what I've tried so far. 

Can't believe I've only got 4 more days to open, Boooooo!! But I've still got my 12 Days of Christmas Calendar waiting for me instead. 

Here's the latest YouTube video, hope you like it. 

Have you tried any of these products?? What's your favourites?? 

Lots of Love
