Day 7-12 CVS Advent

My CVS Advent Calendar unboxing adventure continues! After revealing the first few days, I was so excited to dive into Days 7 through 12, and let me tell you, this $25 calendar keeps delivering some fun surprises. If you're wondering whether the CVS Advent Calendar is worth it, especially for these later days, let's break down what I found! Day 7: Classic Clean Dry Shampoo First up, a small can of dry shampoo with a classic clean scent. This is always a lifesaver for busy mornings or when I need a quick refresh before heading out. It's perfect for extending a blowout or just adding a little volume. Mini dry shampoos are fantastic for travel or keeping in your gym bag. Day 8: Original Hydrocolloid Blemish Patches On day 8, I discovered a packet of blemish patches. These original hydrocolloid patches are designed to gently absorb impurities overnight. I'm always stocked up on these, as they're a total skincare emergency staple. Waking up to fewer blemishes is always a win in my book! Day 9: Bronzing Drops with Antioxidants Next, a small tube of bronzing drops. These are formulated to bronze and nourish the skin with antioxidants and sunflower seed oil. I love the idea of adding a natural-looking glow, especially as we head into colder months. Plus, the nourishing ingredients are a bonus for my skin! You can mix these with your moisturizer or foundation for a subtle shimmer. Day 10: Plant-Based Body Wash Day 10 brought a small bottle of body wash. It features plant-based moisturizers for calm and clearing skin, promising visible moisture. I'm a huge fan of gentle, plant-based formulas, so this is definitely something I'm excited to try. It sounds perfect for sensitive skin. Day 11: Blue Mesh Bath Pouf An essential for any shower routine, day 11 had a blue mesh bath pouf. Simple, yet effective for cleansing and exfoliating. It's always good to have a fresh one on hand, and it completes the body care experience from the body wash perfectly. Day 12: Tinted Lip Balm Stick Finally, for day 12, I found a dark red tinted lip balm stick. Designed to provide moisture and a hint of color, this is ideal for everyday wear. I appreciate a good tinted balm that offers both hydration and a touch of vibrancy without being too heavy. Bonus Find: Ultra-Soft Cleansing Towelettes I also saw a packet of ultra-soft cleansing towelettes in the calendar. These are designed to remove makeup, dirt, oil, and sunscreen, and what's even better, they're plant-based and compostable. These are incredibly convenient for travel or late nights when you just need to quickly clean your face. Is the CVS Advent Calendar Worth It for $25? My Honest Take! After unboxing these items from Days 7-12, I can honestly say that for just $25, this CVS Advent Calendar feels like a fantastic deal. You get a variety of practical beauty and skincare items, many of which are perfect for testing out new products without committing to full-sized versions. The blend of skincare (blemish patches, body wash, bronzing drops), hair care (dry shampoo), and everyday essentials (lip balm, cleansing towelettes, bath pouf) makes it a well-rounded collection. It's a great way to treat yourself or a loved one to a little pampering. I've found that CVS often has great deals on beauty products, and this advent calendar really showcases some of the gems you can discover there. While I didn't find any Nivea products in this particular calendar, CVS stores are well-known for carrying a wide selection of Nivea skincare, so it's always worth checking out their aisles for your favorites! This calendar is definitely a fun way to explore new brands and products available at CVS.
