I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021

The I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021 is £30, and is the most affordable advent calendar available this year. You then have the Deluxe Calendar which is £120, so they have something for every budget.
It’s a small, slim calendar with twelve perforated doors featuring pink foil numbers. It is quite basic and plain, and I guess that’s because it’s the most affordable calendar, but it is very basic.
I’m always honest with you with every single review, but I kinda wish it felt and looked less basic, even if the price was an extra £5 or £10 more expensive.
However, all that matters is what’s inside the I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021, so let’s get unboxing and swatching…
OK, let’s start with day number one, and it’s a makeup brush. It’s a fluffy powder brush with a pink wooden handle, matte pink metal ferrule and pink synthetic bristles. It’s a really nice quality brush, and is a good start to the calendar.
Day number two is a lip gloss, and it’s the I Heart Revolution Chocolate Lip Gloss in the shade Milk Chocolate. I have reviewed the I Heart Revolution Cookie Tin Gift Set right here, and there were two glosses inside that set, but they are different shades. Milk Chocolate is a rosy brown hue, with a delicious sweet scent.
For day number three of the I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021, we have a dripping chocolate compact mirror. I know these mirrors get a bad rap, but it’s something we’d all use in our handbag, and it’s cute.
The I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021 next features the I Heart Chocolate Ruby Cocoa Powder Blusher, which contains 2.5g. It’s a really pretty, almost neon melon shade, and is matte, and super pigmented.
Then we have the I Heart Revolution Shader Brush, which has a pink wooden handle, pink ferrule and pink bristles. It’s not the best brush in all honesty, but let’s move on to the next product…
Next up is the I Heart Revolution Chocolate Gloss Tube. It doesn’t have a shade name, but it’s a clear pink gloss with a subtle pink tint. Sometimes gloss tubes can look completely clear on the lips, but this one has a subtle pink tint, with a sweet scent.
Next up in the I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021 is the I Heart Revolution Eyeliner Pencil, which doesn’t have a specific shade on the pencil, but it’s a matte black shade. It’s super pigmented, and should totally be part of their permanent range, as the formula is so good.
The third and final brush, in the calendar, is the I Heart Revolution Eyeliner Brush. It has a pink wooden handle, pink ferrule and pink bristles, like the other two brushes. This brush is better than the last brush, but it’s not as good as the first brush in the calendar.
The next product in the I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021 is the I Heart Revolution Chocolate Clear Brow Gel. There’s not much to say about it, other than it’s a clear brow gel with a small tapered brush.
There’s a second gloss inside the calendar, and it’s the I Heart Revolution Chocolate Lip Gloss in the shade Berry, which is a berry pink shade, and has a subtle sweet scent.
The next item in the I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021 is the I Heart Revolution Cocoa Highlighter, with 2.5g of product. It’s a deep bronze shade, and all of the highlighters across every single Revolution advent calendar this year, are very deep.
I’ve not found one pale-skin friendly highlighter, however, I actually think that’s a good thing. Deeper skinned beauty lovers need to be catered for, and a deep highlighter could be used as a bronzer or an eyeshadow by a light skin toned beauty lover, whereas a pale highlighter is very limited for deep skintones.
So I am going to say Revolution have done a great job at making their 2021 advent calendars inclusive. This is a beautiful, smooth highlighter, and has some gold sparkle too.
We are then on day twelve of the I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021, and it’s a palette! It’s the I Heart Revolution Pink Pepper Chocolate Bar Palette, with eight powder shadows. With a name like Pink Pepper, it was always going to be a pink palette, and it is very pink, and very pretty with a mix of matte and metallics.
So, that’s the I Heart Revolution 12 Days Of Chocolate Advent Calendar 2021 unboxed and swatched for you. For £30, it is a good calendar, and you’re getting eight makeup products, which would cost you more than the £30 price alone. Revolution do say this calendar features £44 of products, so you’re getting a nice saving, and it’s available right now.
