I chose a Summer Fridays sample and a mask sample to test out and see how good they were. I was thinking wether or not i should buy the Summer Fridays and decided i should try the sample before buying the whole product. Waited for my package to deliver and checked and found samples that i did not order. I know its just samples but i got samples of the products i already own. Why would i need to sample them if i own them? And thats why i didn't choose those samples. I wouldn’t have minded the mixup of samples if they had let me know beforehand about me not getting samples of my choice. I do not really care about samples as they are just free samples but this time it really annoyed me. I recommend to fix this as if we are given the option to choose what sample then we should be delivered the sample we chose.

Wanted to take some time to list other types of advent calendars -non-beauty, non-chocolate related advent calendars, as well as how to use an advent calendar in a non-traditional way. If you know of any not listed here, please let us know. Non-Beauty / Non-Chocolate Advent Calendars:CoffeeTeaSocksAdvent calendar for petsClue game - @Samtian, I know you play Clue as part of your self-care (on my list to try) and I thought of you when I saw this. It looks fun! Self Care - Pinch Provisions has, in the past, had a 7-day calendar with self-care tools Other Ways to Use Advent Calendars:It can be overwhelming the sheer number of things that roll in with the holidays, at least for me. I'm grateful for the outpouring but it can be a lot sometimes. In the past, I've spread the love over time. It makes it feel less overwhelming and I get to keep that holiday cheer going for a little longer; sometimes, a lot longer. Voluspa puts out a couple different advent calendars every year (or they have in the past); I'll tag them as they come up on Sephora online. Some are filled with their classic sizes as well as one with votives; others are from a particular collection (e.g., Japonica). They're generally 12-day advent calendars.The first year I picked up one of these Voluspa advents, I burned a new calendar each day for 12 days. For me personally, that meant too many partially burned candles as I have other candles in use during the holidays.Since that first one, I've picked up a Voluspa 12-day advent calendar but I've treated each box/day as a candle for each month of the year (roughly), beginning that following January. Some years, I've done just that - open up a new candle from the advent calendar every month. Other years, I've started in January with the candle behind door/box 1 and just worked my way through as I've finished a candle from the set. I did that this year and we started out going through more than one candle in the early part of the year and then experienced a bit of a lull because I wasn't burning candles as often. I'm opened door/box 8 earlier this month so I'm back on track with one candle per month from the advent. If others have ideas for non-beauty advent calendars or other ways to use advent calendars, do share!

I can highly recommend joining Ulta’s reward program, much more generous samples, you can get like 12 samples for like 50/60/70$ online purchases and your points are actually turned into actual money you can spend, Sephora’s rewards program is a joke to compare!!
