REVIEW: ASOS Advent Calendar 2021

I really wanted to get a beauty advent calendar this year and saw the ASOS one and had to get it.

The cardboard advent calendar comes in a tote bag which is quite handy.

Great product to start with, I can't wait to try it out and there will be a blog post.

Full Size: 75ml

Full Size Price: £24.50

Day 2: Dr. PAWPAW Tinted Rich Mocha Multipurpose Balm

I have already got this product and I am not a big fan of it so I will give this away to someone, the shade doesn't suit me.

Full Size: 25ml

Full Size Price: £6.95

Day 3: Beauty Works Argan Serum and Comb

The packaging of the comb says on the back 8x Beauty Works X Molly-Mae Waver Clips so I guess they are recycling packaging, I am looking forward to trying this serum.

ASOS claim that the calendar is worth more than £280 so I thought I would work it out, if the product can be bought at that size then I put that down and if you can't then I work out the price with the full size.
