All the Products in the Rituals Advent Calendar 2017 I Review
Hello everyone ^^
Here it is the first Review of 2018 ;) yay
And its not only one but 24!
Even tho Advent is more than over, I thought I´d quickly let you know all about the products in the calendar since most of them are available all year round ;) So a tiny little review for every product ;)
Here are all of them in one pic ^^
...I tried so hard to take an amazing pic of them all in one...failed a bit there and therefor I just use the one from the rituals website...plus there are a few missing on my pic since I gave away some of the products already ;)

Well, I think I´ll talk about everything just in order as they are in the pic above ^^
MIRACLE WIPES - TRAVEL
aloë vera & organic cotton flower
make up cleansing wipes
These are very nice wipes and such a practical size for traveling!
They smell really lovely and fresh, nice and quickly remove your makeup and leave your skin feeling fresh and clean but also a tiny bit dry.
Maybe not the perfect choice for sensitive skin!
THE RITUAL OF ANAHATA FOAMING SHOWER GEL
rosewood & pine
foaming shower gel sensation
Loving the scent of this collection! Make sure to get everything soon since its a limited edition collection ^^
Its definitely a christmassy wintery scent and its so so so nice!
Also I don´t think I have to say anything about how amazing the foaming shower gel sensations are ;)
said my praises about these often enough did I ;)
THE RITUAL OF HAMMAM FOAMING SHOWER GEL
organic fresh eucalyptus & rosemary
foaming shower gel sensation
Again...LOVE for the foam ;) Best thing ever to shave your legs with btw ^^
But I have to say that I personally do not really like the scent...I just think its too heavy on the eucalyptus side...I am neither a huge fan of eucalyptus-y nor minty scents and even tho I kind of like the combination with the rosemary I probably will give this one to my boyfriend
who really likes these kind of scents ^^
THE RITUAL OF HAMMAM HOT SCRUB
ginger & fresh eucalyptus
sea salt body scrub
Same thing as above...the scent is not really my thing but and here again the product is amazing!
I really really really love Rituals scrubs a looot! Every single one I tried so far was incredible and this is either.
You only have to decide if you prefer salt scrubs or sugar scrubs...or totally different ones ;)
I do actually like all of them when it comes to how good they do their job ^^
This one leaves the skin super soft and perfectly nourished and pampered :) The great thing about these scrubs is that they leave a kind of oily film on the skin which makes it feel like the nicest thing ever and you wont even have to use a body lotion after ^^
THE RITUAL OF HAMMAM BLACK SOAP
organic fresh eucalyptus & pure olive
ultra hydrating black soap
Again a very nice product again part of the Ritual of Hammam Series which makes it...scent wise...a bit harder to say anything other than I do not like the scent. The product is a...a little bit strange to be honest ;) ...black massage soap with a paste like structure.
Its specially created to deeply cleanse and purify the body by removing old skin cells. And yes I have to say it leaves the skin feeling super soft. Also the website recommends to use it in combination with the Kessa Glove or a body scrub. Well to be perfectly honest I cant say too incredibly much about this yet...besides that I am just not the biggest fan of the scent and that I liked it on a first impression...product-itself-wise ^^
Such a nice thing again...might be a bit of a downer in an advent calendar at first but I really liked it ^^
In my opinion it has a slight and really nice scent to it once it´s wet and I really recommend to put it on before its wet ;) cause it gets so sloppy when its wet ;) And I never thought this would be possible but I actually like using the scrubs even more with this one ;)
SAMURAI COOL DOWN
bamboo & deep sea minerals
energising 2 in 1 shampoo & shower gel
Well...again the opinion of my boyfriend: Its an amazing product but especially for summer.
I mean that sounds logically since its called Cool Down, isn´t it ;) hahaha
The fresh scent with bamboo and the eucalyptus makes it really refreshing but since...and there he is just like me... ;)
he prefers sweeter and more heavy scents in winter he does not use it to often around this time of the year.
mint & yi yi ren
relaxing serum
The amazing scent of the Ritual of Dao...this time with a additional minty note and a lovely product.
Its a light cream which claims to reduce stress or tiredness...cant say too much about that by this point tho ;) I did not immidiately realise that ^^ But I´ll take it with me to use it more often and will come back to you about this once I´ve used it more often and know more about it ^^
THE RITUAL OF DAO NIGHT BALM
white lotus & yi yi ren
night balm for the hands
Again this product has the amazing scent of the collection but also a pretty thick consistency...of cause because its a total different approach to hand cream in general...which I am not the biggest fan of...in general... its a night balm which means its a lot more nourishing and hydrating and that again means that its a thicker cream which needs a lot longer to sink in.
But I can see myself using this as a night hand cream when I do not really care how long it needs to sink in, so yes I do like it.
THE RITUAL OF SAMURAI
energising shampoo
The Ritual of Samurai is the colletion they have for men and therefor I gave all of those products to my boyfriend ^^ I love the smell btw ;)
So I asked him what he thinks of the shampoo and he said that it was...yes he already used it up ^^ it was amazing ;) and he is not so easy to please with his shampoos ;)
He loved the scent of it which is naturally quite like the rest of the range. He also loves that its not drying out the scalp and now its his fave shampoo of all the ones you can get from Rituals. And he is quite sad that you cant get it in the stores regularly ;) so people of Rituals please let us all buy it ^^
MIRACLE 3-IN-1 MASCARA
sapphire
3-in-1 mascara
This quickly became one of my favourite products and one of my fave mascaras.
Such a nice mascara, amazing length, so so so pretty long lashes ^^
But I also have to say that its primary length and less volume ... I always combine it with the maybelline lash sensational for peeerrrrrfect lashes ;)
TINY RITUALS
Christmas crystals
Such a nice product! Its amazing! I love it!
;) haha well I don´t know at this point if this bath was so perfectly relaxing because I was so incredibly tired or because of this bath but it probably was the most relaxing and nice bath ever ;)
It says on the packaging that it is so realxing because of Magnesium in it and many other amazing things and it actually was!
I sat in there and after two minutes I felt sooo good and calm ^^ LOVE
THE RITUAL OF DAO BED & BODY MIST
white lotus & yi yi ren
calming bed & body mist
I feel like I constantly repeat myself but I like this ^^
Its the signature Ritual of Dao Scent of cause even tho I think it might be a bit more intense so the tiniest bit will be enough ;) Its a very nice scent. I actually see myself using this more often as a body mist ;) but I slept very well after using it on my bed ;)
THE RITUAL OF DAO SHOWER OIL
organic white lotus & yi yi ren
caring shower oil
I don´t think that I ever used a shower oil before and still not too sure if I really like it ^^ yes it lovely transforms into a soft and yes pretty lovely foam together with water and yes it leaves the skin feeling pretty nice...I just don´t know...probably I like it but I wont commit that I could like a Rituals shower product as much as I like the shower gels ;) hahaha
Love the scent in this one tho again...I just love the Ritual of Dao ^^
THE RITUAL OF SAKURA BODY CREAM
rice milk & cherry blossom
rich, nourishing body cream
Ritual of Sacura is another one of my faves ;)
Its a very light floral scent and its perfect all year round.
The body cream is really nice too...looooving the body creams a lot btw ^^
Its a pretty thick cream but it sinks in very nicely and pretty quick which is always an important criteria for me!
Leaves the skin nicely nourished and feeling amazing for a good long time.
THE RITUAL OF SAKURA SHOWER SCRUB
rice milk & cherry blossom
softening shower scrub
Again an amazing product and yes I´m bored too that I constantly just like everything...maybe I´m just too easy to please ;) hahaha
Sill kind of wondering why this one is so specivicly called a shower scrub tho ;)
I love the range, I love the scent, I love the scrubs and I love this one ^^
Soap bar
with Mandarin and Yuzu
If I got it right than this is one of the things which you only get in Hotels which partner with Rituals...meaning you wont get this one anywhere else... which is sad because its really nice even tho nothing overly special.
indian rose & sweet almond oil
hydrating hand lotion
An other amazing hand cream... well I, as someone who rarely ever uses hand cream, love this one ^^
I hate using hand cream in general because I feel unable to do anything for as long as it takes the cream to 110% sink in ;)
For me loving this hand cream means that it sinks in really quickly ^^ I mean yes it takes a few seconds but its great.
It pretty quickly feels a bit like your hands are wet...which might sound like a strange description but I can´t think of a better one ;)
And I just love the scent of the Ritual of Ayurveda range so much...I have to love this product too ^^
THE RITUAL OF AYURVEDA FOAMING SHOWER GEL
indian rose & sweet almond oil
foaming shower gel sensation
One of my all time favourite products! Love the collection, love the scent love the formula ^^
Such a great product - probably will have one of those on my shelve for ever...hopefully ;)
THE RITUAL OF AYURVEDA
balancing shower gel
Again a shower oil again not too sure if I like the concept of a shower oil itself...might have to come back to this when I´ve used it more often! I do like it tho for the same reasons I liked the Dao one. Lovely soft foam and very nice soft and nourished skin :)
Love this one tho because of its amazing Ritual of Ayurveda scent ;) Yes I am this superficial when it comes to scents ;)
MINI THE RITUAL OF ANAHATA CANDLES
rosewood & pine
relaxing scented candle
Again this wonderful scent of the limited edition collection and these four little candles are sooo cute
and its such a cute idea to put one in the calendar every Sunday to celebrate advent ;)
And that has been everything!
Well... I know which Advent Calendar I want to get again this year in December ^^
Which one of your advent calendars was your fave and did you like the ritual one if you had it?
Which Rituals product do you like most?
With lots of love
