essence pocket mirror

Another “filler” product in this calendar is this small mirror. It’s cute and all but I don’t think it’s very practical when you don’t have a lid to cover it up and prevent it from scratching. I don’t know the price for this small mirror, but I’ll give it 1 euro, although I think I’m being too generous with all this filler items.

essence mini nail polish 03 ho ho ho

Now I’m kind of annoyed because this is the 5th mini nail polish in the advent calendar and I didn’t sign up for a nail polish one.

The color is nice, something like a mauve but even though the bottle has a cute design, the quality of this nail polishes is not that good. This also has a retail value of 1.25 euros.

essence message stickers

This is another filler product and it’s as bad as the gift tags or the nail stickers. What am I supposed to do with some stickers? There are 15 of them and they’re really small. I feel like the best products were found in the first part of the advent calendar and now all we get are just some cutesy stuff that isn’t worth much. I’m going to be generous and I’ll say this has a retail value of about 1 euro, but that’s probably too much.

Of the last 3 days I didn’t like anything in particular. Sure, the mini nail polish is nice, but by now I have 5 of them so instead of being excited to do my nails with a new color,I get annoyed. The pocket mirror is cute but I prefer those that have a lid and the stickers are useless for me. The products are worth around 3.25 euros, which brings our grand total to 32.14 euros and considering that I paid 27 euros for it, it’s not a great value and I could have used the money to buy the essence products I actually wanted. Let’s see what the last 3 products are, but my initial excitement has worn off this last week.
