Vintage & Co Baubles & Belles 12 Christmas Wishes Advent Calendar


Beauty Advent Calendars are a BIG DEAL these days.

It was only a few years ago that they didn’t even exist and now the market is saturated with an array of dazzling and wonderful offerings from almost every brand imaginable.

Many of these calendars can be fairly pricey but I’ve found one of the most darling calendars that is also really reasonably priced.





In case you failed to notice, this fabulous calendar and packaging has been Inspired by the 1950s where the festive season sparkled with charm.




Cocktails, glitter, holly & pine…
Eggnog and brandy and looking divine!
Bambi and reindeer, plum pudding and wine;
The era of plenty brings sparkle and shine.
When ladies wore hats with no hair out of place;
Where gloves were the norm, no longer old lace.
So be gloved and beloved, no drabness in sight;
Our festive fine Ladies are designed to delight.
A fruit-filled festive fragrance of pomegranates, red
berries, vanilla, sweet orange zest with a dash of eggnog

How quaint is that! I love it!




This gorgeous gift comprises of 12 beautifully presented hand care must-haves hidden behind each door.

Inside you’ll find a selection of nail files along with hand creams and hand soaks which have been enriched with natural extracts of shea butter, vitamin E and sweet orange essential oil and fragranced with wonderfully festive notes of spiced rum, pomegranate, red berries and orange zest.





I can’t get enough of the illustrative designs, they are just too cute and because there are several hand creams and soaks within the calendar you can share the joy by perhaps gifting one or two to loved ones or friends.

It’s not called the season for giving for nothing you know!



 
This wonderfully retro calendar is available now along with a selection of other Vintage & Co Baubles & Belles treats from heathcote-ivory.com.

Rose & Co



If you love beautiful, kitsch, vintage-esq brands and products then you're going to love Rose & Co!

Available from their quaint Victorian store in Yorkshire, online or from select retailers such as Harrods, Fortnum & Mason and house of Fraser, their collection of beautiful beauty products are to die for!




Packaged in gorgeous, vintage inspired bottles and jars, I was lucky enough to try two products from their new range as well as their world renowned beauty balm, the Rose Petal Salve.

No.84 is their new signature bath and body range which is named after Rose & Co's world famous Apothecary, No.84 Main Street, Haworth.




This range is fragranced with an aromatic, modern -Rose composition with elements of tea, violet, jasmine and iris enriched win cedar, amber and musk.

It is a soft, powdery fragrance which is used across the collection, including their Hand Cream (£5) and their Cupcake Soap (£5).

The hand cream is a lovely texture and consistency, made with Shea butter and enriched with Vitamin E it leaves your hands feeling soft and smelling lovely.




I actually can't comment on the soap because as far as I'm concerned, it's just too pretty to use! I mean, look at it!

I love the smell of roses and utterly ADORE their Rose Petal Salve (£5)!

This pretty pink salve contains vitamin A, natural emollients, beeswax and sweet almond oil which work together to deliver a nourishing treat to dry skin and offers healing and antibacterial properties.

Pretty great hey!




Delicately scented with sweet smelling Rose oil, this miracle pink balm is so much more than just a lip balm. In fact, it is a real multi tasking skin saviour with around 20 different ways to use it, including;
 
Soothes chapped lips and seals in moisture

Glosses lips with a light pink sheen

Cheekbone enhancer

Softens cuticles



Rescues and treats dry patches and rough skin,
including knuckles, elbows and hands

Provides a barrier to skin for rashes

Provides a barrier against nail varnish bleeding onto skin and cuticles

Tames eyebrows

All these uses for just £5 a jar is pretty special!
