A magic advent calendar is a special kind of advent calendar that adds an element of magic and surprise to the countdown to Christmas. Traditional advent calendars have small windows or doors that are opened each day in December, revealing a piece of chocolate or a small toy. A magic advent calendar takes this concept to a whole new level by incorporating magical elements into the experience. Instead of opening a door or window, each day the calendar reveals a small magical surprise that can range from a spell or charm to a miniature potion or magical creature. These calendars are perfect for those who love the holiday season and have a passion for magic and fantasy. They add an extra sense of excitement and anticipation to the countdown to Christmas as each day brings a new magical surprise.
These lipsticks don’t have the same matte finish as the original Hot Lips collection. I have another Charlotte Tilbury lipstick, admittedly from the Matte Revolution line, and they really weren’t joking when they said it was matte. These are a lot more comfortable on the lips and have a gorgeous sheen that make your lips look lovely and juicy.
I mean, you ve got to hand it to her, Charlotte Tilbury is has come out with the most gorgeous packaging so obviously you d never want to chuck it away. It also makes it more versatile you can wear your lipstick as it s original colour and choose a lip liner that is close to it, or you can go for different lip liners to play around with the colour.
They add an extra sense of excitement and anticipation to the countdown to Christmas as each day brings a new magical surprise. The magic advent calendar can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from children to adults who still have a sense of wonder and imagination. It is a great way to add a touch of magic to the holiday season and create lasting memories.
Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2
From the moment I had a taste of my first Charlotte Tilbury lipstick experience with the ever iconic Pillow Talk- I was hooked. I began to look for more Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks to include in my rotation. The research process was so fun- it was like I was introduced to this new world of lipstick! What I notice from Charlotte Tilbury’s lipstick range is the extensive level of different undertone range she has for a single color. For example, even their pale pinks come in various undertones ranging from cool to neutral to warm- and the same goes for their peaches and reds etc. So although many seem to look similar on the bullet, or swatched on the arm, once worn on the lips, there are differences, though not stark.
And then one day I stumbled on the Hot Lips 2 series- where I was enamoured by the shade “JK Magic”, this peachy beige rose that seemed to be the right amount of peach, beige & rose for a nude lip that's flattering for my skin tone. I am always on the search for beige-y nude lipsticks, and so once I saw this color and the magical lipstick case it came in- I knew this would a must have for me . I picked another 2 shades up, Dancefloor Princess and Angel Alessandra - all from the same collection. These all happened to be in another one of Charlotte’s popular formula called K.I.S.S.I.N.G, one I had not tried before as Pillow Talk is in her Matte Revolution formula.
About Hot Lips 2
The Hot Lips 2 collection is an extension from the Hot Lips collection where the shades are named after celebrities and public figures that have inspired Charlotte, and in turn have inspired the colors of their lipsticks. The ones I picked out are JK Rowling for JK Magic, Kylie Minogue for Dancefloor Princess, and Alessandra Ambrosio for Angel Alessandra. These shades truly to match the personality they are paired to.
This collection isn’t new and there’s already countless reviews done on these lipsticks, so this post won’t be too much about that. But rather it’s just an easy breezy one that I’d thought I’d write up, take some pictures to. The thought just came up as I was going through my lipstick drawer, and I thought I’d show a little love & appreciation to these beauties. By now Charlotte Tilbury has probably countless of new lipsticks, but if you’re looking to try Charlotte Tilbury- I think these series are a great place to start! Their shade range is lovely and their casings are so special. On top of that- they are available to buy as refills too, so you don’t need to get a new case each time. It’s like special little collectible lipsticks.
Swatches
I’ve done some quick arm and lip swatches of the shades I currently have, so if you have a similar skintone to me, it may help you decide if these are the right ones for you. Especially if you love wearable peach, pinks and rosey toned beige. These do pull more on the warmer side on my skin tone, but not overly so like so many other “neutral” lipsticks I’ve tried, and they don’t contrast too much and are able to work seamlessly with countless number of looks.
Here they are on the arm:
- Angel Alessandra is a coral peachy nude
- J.K. Magic is a peachy beige nude-rose
- Dancefloor Princess is a dreamy, pretty, cool-girl pink
Some magic advent calendars also come with a story or a narrative that unfolds over the 24 days leading up to Christmas. Each magical surprise is tied to the story, creating a cohesive and immersive experience. In addition to the magical surprises, many magic advent calendars also include a small gift or treat for each day. This could be a piece of chocolate, a small toy, or a special item related to the magical theme. Overall, a magic advent calendar is a fun and enchanting way to count down to Christmas. It adds an element of magic and surprise to the holiday season, making it even more memorable and special. Whether you are a child or an adult, a magic advent calendar is sure to bring joy and wonder during the most wonderful time of the year..
Reviews for "Experiencing Enchantment: The Magic Advent Calendar Phenomenon"
1. JaneDoe123 - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Magic Advent Calendar." The illusions were lackluster and I felt like it was just a cheap trick to make money. The props were poorly made and easily breakable, and the instructions were confusing and hard to follow. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this advent calendar to anyone who is hoping for a magical and entertaining experience.
2. MagicEnthusiast99 - 1/5 stars - As someone who loves magic, I couldn't have been more let down by the "Magic Advent Calendar." The tricks included were basic and something I would have already known as a beginner magician. The quality of the items was also subpar, and I found the whole experience to be extremely underwhelming. Save your money and buy a proper magic set instead, as this advent calendar is a complete waste.
3. DisillusionedMagician - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the "Magic Advent Calendar," but it turned out to be a major letdown for me. The tricks included were nothing special and could easily be replicated with items found around the house. The packaging was also cheap and flimsy, and some of the pieces were missing when I opened the box. I would advise skipping this advent calendar and investing in a more professional and worthwhile magic set.
4. Magic Lover - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to receive the "Magic Advent Calendar" as a gift, but it turned out to be a disappointment. The tricks were basic and not very impressive, and I found myself getting bored after the first few days. The materials used were also low quality and some of them broke easily. Overall, I think there are much better magic sets out there that offer a more enjoyable and magical experience.
