Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021 Unboxing and Review

The Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021 has launched as this year’s Huda Beauty Advent Calendar, following the success of the first-ever Huda Beauty advent calendar which launched last year.

Last year’s calendar sold out within 48 hours as they had such limited stock, and it launched in November, which wasn’t very long before advent started, however the Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021 has launched with plenty of time.

Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021

“Treat your loved ones (or yourself!) this party season to the best of beauty! Curated with love by Huda herself, unbox cult-fave formulas, mesmerizing makeup, effective skincare and so much more!

Each calendar also features an Obsessions palette roulette, including 1 of 3 eyeshadow palettes – Nude Light, Haze Sand or Nude Rich – for a super special surprise! Complete with a reusable, recyclable box inspired by Huda’s fave crystal, the rose quartz.“

The Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021 is £151 / $175. The calendar has been created to look like a piece of rose quartz, with a rose quartz pattern all over the box. The lid of the box is 3D, and is designed to look like a piece of rose quartz crystal. 

On the inside of the Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021, there are twelve different shaped boxes. Each box features pink foil writing for the numbers, and the box has been designed that you can reuse it for storage, once you’ve finished opening all of the boxes.

Last year’s calendar wasn’t reusable at all, so I think it’s great they’ve rethought the packaging, and created something a little more eco-friendly, and it would be amazing for storing your palettes or makeup brushes inside. OK, let’s get onto the unboxing section…

For day one of the Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021, we have the Huda Beauty Life Liner Quick ‘n Easy Liquid Eyeliner, which is a relatively new launch for the brand, and I reviewed the eyeliner right here. It’s a super black, matte and intense liquid eyeliner pen with a flexible nib, and it’s great it was included as a full size within the calendar.

Next is one of my favourite Huda Beauty products, and it’s the Huda Beauty Water Jelly Hydrating Primer, which is a clear, jelly face primer. The Huda Beauty Water Jelly Hydrating Primer was originally designed to be a skincare essence for Wishful Skin, but the team realised how amazing it was as a primer, so they made it one. It makes any foundation look good – even super drying matte foundation, and this is full size. 

Then we have another of my favourites in the Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021, and it’s the Huda Beauty Silk Balm Hydra-Plumping Lip Balm, in full size. It’s such a lightweight gloss, with a balmy consistency. it’s not intensively hydrating, but for an everyday balm that you can apply without a mirror, I love it.

I particularly like applying the Silk Balm just before bed, whenever I don’t want to use a thick lip mask, and I so want Huda to launch more colours of this very same formula, as it’s amazing. 

Now I can’t be a hypocrite and not moan about brow products being included in a one-size-fits-all kind of advent calendar, but next is the Huda Beauty #BombBrows Micro Brow Pencil, which is another new launch for the brand, and it’s full size. We get one shade in every calendar, which is 4 Light Brown.

It’s a neutral toned light brown, which you could definitely get away with if you’re blonde, brunette or dark brown, but there will obviously be people the shade won’t work for, so I think one of their Matte & Metal Liquid Eyeshadows would have been a better pick. If this shade does match you, it’s such a great brow pencil, and one I’d totally recommend.

The Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021 includes a very exciting product, and that’s the Wishful Yo Glow Gingerbread Latte Enzyme Scrub. This is a sneak peek of a product launching as part of the Huda Beauty Holiday Collection for 2021, and oh my gosh it smells incredible. 

It’s a 40ml size, and is a limited edition scent which will hopefully be available individually once the holiday collection launches, but if you love the smell of gourmand, or foody beauty products, you’ll love the new Yo Glow scent. 

Next in the calendar is the Wishful Thirst Trap Juice HA3 & Peptide Serum in the 30ml full size. This one product alone is worth £41 / $47, so it’s amazing you’re getting the other eleven products for nearly £100 more. It’s a super hydrating facial serum, and it’s going to be perfect for the cooler months.

The Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021 contains one Mini Obsession Eyeshadow Palette, and there’s three different palettes mixed between the boxes, and you get yours at random.

You could get the Nude Light, Haze Sand or Nude Rich Palette, and I got the Nude Rich Palette. I was hoping it would be Haze Sand as I already own the other two, but it’s a stunning palette regardless, with nine matte, shimmer and metallic finishes.

Next is the Huda Beauty Legit Lashes Dual-Ended 2-in-1 Mascara, again full size. This mascara is two full-sized mascaras in one, with one side being designed for lengthening the lashes, and the other is designed to add volume. You can use them individually, or together for your perfect lash look.

Then we have the Huda Beauty Mini Power Bullet Matte Lipstick in Interview, in a 0.9g size. It’s the prettiest nude brown, with a velvet matte finish. I think this shade will complement the shades within the Rich Mini Obsessions Palette too. 

Next in the Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021 are the Huda Beauty Samantha #7 False Lashes, and they are Huda’s personal favourite set of false lashes, with a beautiful, fluttery effect. 

Then we have the Huda Beauty Wishful Honey Whip Peptide Moisturizer in a 20g trial size. This product only launched last month (read my review right here), and it’s a beautiful moisturiser, with the subtlest floral scent, and it’s my favourite Wishful product I’ve tried. 

For day twelve of the Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021, we have the Wishful Eye Lift & Snatch Instant Sculpting Masks, and you can read my review right here.

They’re bright-green eye patches, and they’re non-slip, easy-to-apply eye masks infused with powerful peptides and orchid stem cells that instantly lift the under-eyes while effortlessly staying in place. Perfect for when you’re on-the-go, your eyes will look tighter and brighter.

So that’s everything inside the Huda Beauty House of Huda Advent Calendar 2021. It’s a beautiful calendar both inside and out, with a great mix of skincare and makeup treats, and if you want to get your hands on the calendar, it’s available right now.
