Before I start this post in its entirety, I’m aware Halloween isn’t even here yet and the clocks haven’t gone back and this post is about the dreaded C-word… CHRISTMAS. But me being me, I’m going to put a little travel and lifestyle spin on it.
Beauty advent calendars have become all the rage in the past few years with every retailer putting their own spin on the product. No longer are ‘we’ wanting the £1 chocolate calendars we usually demolish in a day but instead daily treats in the form of beauty and skin care products that make us feel good. I’ve seen some that cost up to £500 and some as low as £30 but I can’t help but wonder if they are really worth it? That’s where Chemist4U comes in. Their ones are worth it.

Q-Ki 24 Days Of Beauty New York Advent Calendar, £14.99

This Q-Ki 24 Days of Beauty New York Advent Calendar is a new twist on traditional advent calendars that makeup addicts will love. Filled with lovely makeup that will keep you smiling right up until Christmas day and help you to look on point for all of your Christmas parties!
My thoughts?
- I use a mix of high end and high street make-up and the eyeshadows are surprisingly good quality.
- The quads make it easy to create a look without versus using a huge palette.
- I wish the other products were a little more inclusive as the contour cream and highlighter were way too light but you can’t have it all right?
- These would again be perfect stocking fillers so if you’re strapped for cash these year you can split this up among friends and family.
- A great gift for a younger family member or someone new to the world of make up.

Travel size beauty items make my heart swell with joy. Is it the packaging? Or knowing its purpose is specifically for a trip? Or the fact that it’s a little cheaper. It’s a mix of all three and its also a great reason to try some new products before committing.
