In recent years I’ve looked on enviously as other bloggers open their beauty advent calendars. They are a huge indulgence but what women doesn’t love beautiful mini beauty products especially when you get a new one every day!
The advent calendar I felt a particular longing for this year was the Ciate Mini Mani Month. I love Ciate’s beautiful range of nail polishes and the thought of having 24 delicious new colours to try was more than I could bear! I was delighted when after christmas the set was reduced to half price. So from a rather pricey £42 to £21 this was a sale bargain I couldn’t resist!
I had seen it on the John Lewis site but this sold out before I got the time to order so I got it directly from the Ciate website.
These are all the colours that are included
I was really impressed with the selection of colours and I actual love nearly all of them. There is a nice mix of coloured polishes, glitters and a couple of nail caviars. The set also includes a base and top coat and a fabulous full size red glitter polish.
The other advantage to getting this in January was that I could open all the windows in one go!
My Favourite shades are these pretty pastel ones.
The set comes with a handy mini top and under coat
I love these pretty feminine neutral shades
Lots of glitter and caviars
Beautiful Silver Shades
Delicious wintery reds
I can’t wait to try them all out and hopefully get full size versions of a couple of my favourites.

January 10, 2014 at 4:48 amOooh, I would have pounced on that deal in absolute heartbeat, too. Beauty advents aren’t as common here in Canada/America as in the UK/Europe. Wish they were, it would be such a chic was to ring in each day of December (or January, if you shopped post-holiday like you did, dear gal).

January 10, 2014 at 10:02 amWhat a great deal. They are all fantastic shades. Like Jessica I haven’t seen many (or any) beauty advent calendars here in Australia – which is a shame. Though I really think I just want an advent calendar that gives me a new vintage hat each day…
