I have been wanting The Body Shop Advent Calendar, but I could not justify spending 600 kr / $84 on it. Luckily once December began, the advent calendars were on sale and I was able to buy the smallest calendar for 30% off.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, the calendar was originally 600 kr / $84, and after opening all the items, I still think the price is too high and I would definitely recommend purchasing it on sale. The calendar itself was good quality, and I enjoyed opening all the items even though I was not able to start on December 1st. Even though most advent calendars stop on December 24th, this calendar included 2 items for Christmas, which was a nice addition. I do wish there were more makeup items besides the lip liner and eyeliner instead of having 4 lotions, 3 shower gels and 2 lip butters, but at least they were different scents and the body butter from Day 24 was full size. I also like that the calendar included makeup tools, but they do not seem to be that high quality especially the nail file.

Overall, I liked most of the items included in The Body Shop Advent Calendar, but I would still recommend purchasing it on sale.
