What gems have you found from Beauty Advent Calendars this year?

What have those of you who had Advent calendars found that you now will definitely repurchase as you have found the product to be amazing?
Or are there any products that have been good but you just couldn’t justify the full size price in the future?

oooh yes @ThreeTescoBags I already buy the Paula's Choice AHA as well! That was one tiny bottle in the AC.

Did you not like Ghost of Tom? I think maybe I love it the best! Also yes liking the orange hair oil.

I think we can all agree on The Seated Queen serum, so good.

I like the Ghost of Tom as well but have habitually gone for one of the other three when deciding what to go for in the morning. I should probably make more of a conscious effort to wear it.

I forgot to mention the cream blush. I really dislike cream products as a rule so thought it'd be a dud but I love this one and wouldn't be without it now. I'll have a look at some other colours.

oooh @user8800 this is good to read!

I have this AC as a 2024 treat (not Jadvent as it's my birthday month, so maybe Febvent hahaha) so looking forward to it even more now.

Oh, I hope I haven't split your surprise!
It's a good one imo though :)

Percy and Reed No Oil Hair Oil from M&S. I have thin oily hair and this has given it volume and I don’t feel like I have to wash it so much. Will defo but again.
