(My spa products for this blog are from my 2025 Advent Calendar and Soap & Glory Showstopping Skincare 7 Piece Gift Set; you can purchase the products individually if you want to try any of them to stock up your spa cupboard)

I’ve purchased these soap bag/vanity case gifts from soap and Glory since I first discovered them. The product works well on my sensitive skin, I love the aesthetic graphics and it is exceptional value for money.
Will be watching for their Christmas Gifts next year and hopefully purchase the Advent Calendar again.
Think it depends what products you need to replace in stock ~ I always get their gift sets like these every year ~ love them.
Another tip I’ve worked out with Advent Calendars is to go for ones that will keep you stocked up with essential products till February due to post covid badly stocked shops and January post.
This year I actually managed to stock up using the essential tip further down this blog, in that case you could opt for a non essential product one.
Guess you sort of shop around for advent calendars and what the format is like the Benefit shopping basket last year ~ love it. Benefit was just cardboard this year and I still had the makeup from last year.

Hope you enjoy the blogs created from my Calendars and gift sets.

Time saver facial as cleanses and exfoliates in one product.
Like the fragrance of this product too.
My face did look good after using this.
It works on sensitive skin unlike last years products.
Really important to get the right advent calendar for your skin.
Last years products had rave reviews but werenāt for sensitive skin.
Also you can just write a good review and not have to moan.
Will use the sample up and repurchase if it is a new favourite.

review
Started using this before the facial.
Got great hopes for this as love the mood boosting grapefruit fragrance and really need to exfoliate dry areas of my face on a daily basis.
As I don’t go out anymore sunburn isn’t really a concern. Have to laugh as it is a really dark grey day today anyway.
I guess this is a winter product, I won’t use this in summer.
Need to be aware it could irratate me.
Hope it doesn’t as it is just what I need.
Love the design and colour of the product matches my Lancome skincare routine really well.

Think I will use these for gentle cleasing products, wash by hand and dry overnight.
Probably won’t use them for mud masks and so forth.

review
Have to be honest about this as fed up of pretending everything is allright when it isn’t.
I’ve used these type of sheet masks for years, but during covid the size and shape of all face masks changed.
There was no way this would fit my face.
My only problem area is my nose so I broke up the mask into pieces and just put it on my nose area.
I wouldn’t re purchase this.
It is easier to just use a mud mask from a tube.
1 out of 5 stars.
Very disappointed with product usually good brand

Review
I can’t use these types of masks as they are in two halves that don’t fit my face.
The bottom half fitted my cheeks but I need to depuff this area not plump.
The top part I tried to put just on my forehead but it fell off.
Fed up of struggling with these new mask sizes so decided to throw the mask and do an honest review.
Unless I find a make of sheet masks that are pre covid sizings I’m not going to bother struggling with them anymore.
I need to cut down on stress so this is one stressful problem solved.
I’m just going to get face masks in tubs and tubes until anything changes.
They are a bit like the comedy apps maybe?
I don’t get the joke?
1 out of 5 stars.

I expected it to be a normal sheet mask but it’s gel. It comes in two halves (eyes and mouth). Due to it being gel it’s incredibly difficult to apply and keep in place. I wouldn’t buy again due to that
Just looked at the reviews it isn’t just me moaning.

review
The mask was too big for my mouth so wasn’t sure.
As I was irratated by the face mask was expecting it to fall off.
The mask stayed where it was.
When I took it off there was a glow around my lips.
It doesn’t get rid of dry skin you would need to sugar scrub them before applying this.
If you aren’t brilliant at makeup this creates an outline to follow with your lip liner.
You also get a pout look.
I love these.
You sort of need a big stash.
If you do it every week it might sort out dry lips.
It gets rid of lines too if that is your concern.
This makes up for the facial sheet masks.

Would like a stash of these.

Will write this up as a night time spa blog in January Ballerina Camp; Great if you live somewhere cold and need to hydrate winter skin.
Conclusion
Wonder if they should make a nose patch.
You could do under eyes, nose and lips without is slippery sliding off.
You used to get nose patches for pores.
As so many people are moaning why don’t all the companies get rid of the comedy mask shapes and bring back the post covid mask sizes.
Miss face masks that fit properly as much as fashion that fits properly.
Why face masks are supposed to be comedy I don’t know?
Spa and pamper days have nothing to do with comedy.
After moaning on I’m happy with most of my facial products and will repurchase quite a lot of this.
Really happy with my soap bags as usual.
I guess no one likes everything anyway and product testing is the only way to find favourite products.
Maybe if we are all honest they will bring back the pre covid face mask sheet sizes.
If everyone has stopped buying them maybe they will.
Will continue using the face products and write a new blog of favourites.
It took me till May last year to discover Lancome.
Have to laugh as just tried out some bracelet weights in Ballerina Camp. Was going to review them but they don’t sell them anymore.
I’m so slow.
Hopefully this is a bit quicker than last year.
Hope this offers ideas and inspiration.
