[REVIEW]: Babor Advent Calendar 2015

Get Healthy, Glowing Skin from Babor this Festive Season


The beginning of Christmas as a kid, always meant we got to open up our advent calendars every day. It's something my brother and I still love to do together even to this day. Being in the beauty world you can imagine my delight when I saw these Advent Calendars from Babor!  


This luxurious advent calendar contains 24 intensive ampoule treatments to help nourish your skin. One of Babor skin treatments that it's best known for, are their ampoules! You can read my review on their new skin fluids here

Day 1 of the advent calendar contained the Hydra Plus Active Fluids which helps boost your skins hydration levels. You can read how I apply my ampoules here Needless to say, it was very exciting opening up my first ampoule - hello healthy skin for the festive season! I cannot wait to open up the rest - there are even some with gold particles which suits my inner princess and ones with agents from the deep sea (we all know I'm a mermaid, so this is like it was made for me).


The advent calendar contains the following:

2 x Hydra Plus Active Fluids: a rejuvenating thirst quencher for every skin type that needs moisture.

3 x Algae Active Fluids: a pure wave of fresh moisture with the power of the sea.

2 x Revitalizing Oxygen Fluids: the oxygen shower for dry, tired skin. Activates cellular respiration and protects the skin against environmental stressors.

3 x Triple Booster Fluids: the personal trainer to “reboot” skin functions. With its triple action, it boosts the skin’s barrier functions, activates skin renewal and creates a moisture reservoir for “drought periods”.

2 x Collagen Booster Fluids: stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production function and reorganises the collagen fibres in a regular, stable matrix.

2 x 3D Lifting Fluid: combats the skin’s natural aging process in three dimensions. Wrinkles are reduced, the tissue is tightened and the contours are strengthened.

3 x Lift Express Fluids: The depth of gravity and facial expression wrinkles is reduced. Smoothens wrinkles immediately and prevents the skin from losing moisture.

3 x HSR Glamour Fluids: special tightening version for the Advent calendar! Gold particles give the skin a fine sheen, while liquid gold stimulates cell activity.

2 x Ultimate Glow Booster Bi-Phase: two phases and a revolutionary breakthrough in lipid research: The instant effects of an ampoule and that perfect feeling after applying cream to your skin.

2 x SeaCreation The Serum: luxury care with highly effective agents from the deep sea which pamper the skin and highlight its beauty.


If you're looking for the ultimate Christmas gift or just to spoil yourself, you can get the advent calendar here.

How I made my Christmas Glam and Green

Christmas, Glam & Green


So my previous blog post was how to make your Christmas a bit greener, did you guys manage to do something green for Christmas?

I had so much fun wrapping my presents for family & friends the Glam and Green way so decided to post some photos so you can be inspired for next Christmas, even for birthdays..







I bought my cousin a pair of shoes that didnt come with a box, so I re-used a shoe box of mine and covered it in pages from old magazines. This way I got to re-use the shoe box and now my cousin can use this box for whatever her heart desires.. even the tissue paper was re-used!



Gifts under our 'African' Christmas tree for my parents <3



I hope that all the wrapping paper you used, cans of food & bottles of wines you finished were recycled :)

see how easy it is to make an event a bit greener?




Did you make your Christmas green in any way? If so, leave me a comment, I would love to know :)

Almost 2012, lets make it Glam & Green..

A Glam and Green Christmas

A Green Holiday Season


So I've kind of left my Christmas shopping to the last minute, I bet I'm not the only one though?
Luckily I sort of know what gifts I need to buy for my loved ones so hopefully it wont be too much of a mission. While thinking of gifts though, the thought of gift wrapping crossed my mind..

Do you know how much paper is wasted during the festive season? So much money is spent on wrapping gifts, only for them it to be ripped open and the paper chucked in the bin!



But alas, there is a green option..
Do you have old magazines or newspapers lying around? well there is your wrapping paper!
Yesterday I wrapped a present in pages from a magazine, I made sure they were pretty pictures and that it looked glam..

The gift I wrapped, I even put a picture of gifts on the front :)

See how easy it is?

Here are a few pictures for some more inspiration





You can even make a some Christmas decorations at the same time...



~Kind to your wallet, kind to the environment~




Wishing you all a Glam and Green fastive season




Merry Christmas
