GIVEAWAY & REVIEW: L'Occitane Advent Calendar

Beauty advent calendars have really increased in popularity in the last few years, with so many brands now releasing them. Today I am very excited to share my thoughts on the 2017 L'Occitane Advent Calendar and I also have one to give away to one of you!  The Classic Beauty Advent Calendar has a value of £87 but is priced at £49 so that's quite the saving!

The calendar itself is very pretty with an illustration on the front of a woman sitting on top of L'Occitane boxes and it is tied with a festive red bow. Inside is another illustration - this time it's a Christmas village scene. There are 24 windows with a product behind each one and below I will tell you what the contents are. If you would prefer to keep them as a surprise, you can skip down to the giveaway!

I love that there is a variety of products in the calendar -  shower gels, foot creams, body lotions and more. The exact contents are:

Day 1  Cherry Blossom Bath & Shower Gel 35ml.
Day 2  20% Shea Hand Cream 10ml
Day 3  Almond Delicious Soap 50g
Day 4  Verbena Body Lotion 30ml
Day 5  Pivoine Flora Hand Cream 10ml
Day 6  Conditioner 35ml
Day 7  Ultra Rich Body Lotion 30ml
Day 8  Light Comforting Cream 5ml
Day 9  Shampoo 35ml
Day 10 Verbena Soap 25g
Day 11 Ultra Rich Shower Cream 30ml
Day 12 Almond Delicious Hand Cream 10ml
Day 13 Revitalising Sugar Bath Cube 35g
Day 14 Citrus Verbena Shower Gel 30ml
Day 15 Ultra Rich Lip Balm 3ml
Day 16 Arlésienne Perfumed Soap 50g
Day 17 Relaxing Shower Gel 35ml
Day 18 Almond Milk Concentrate 20ml
Day 19 Shea Milk Extra-Gentle Soap 25g
Day 20 Cherry Blossom Shimmering Lotion 35ml
Day 21 Verveine Cooling Hand Cream 10ml
Day 22 Almond Shower Oil 35ml
Day 23 Dry Skin Foot Cream 10ml
Day 24 Arlésienne Eau De Toilette 7.5ml

I love that there are matching products - for example, Almond Shower Oil, Soap and Hand Cream or Verbena Shower Gel and Body Lotion so the products can be layered to intensify and extend the wear of the scents. The sizes, although mini, are quite generous in size so would be perfect for weekends away. I will be staying with my In-Laws at Christmas so will definitely be bringing some of these minis with me. At £49 versus the £87 value, this is really great buy!
