I think the candle calendar would be a fun one for a friend group or party, like maybe doing it White Elephant style. Let everyone smell them all and then start picking out the ones you want to keep!
Ok i do actually like the chocolate croissant candle, i do feel like trader joes candles burn awful and dont have the best scent throw, but i do like the scents. I also hated the consistancy of the hot cocoa scrub, it wasnt whipped and airy, i did love the smell, but wasnt very exfoliating. I loved the actual feeling of the gummy bear lip products but the scent and the flavor is so strong and nauseating
I got that gummy bear set last year and the overnight mask got NAUSEATINGLY grainy after only a couple months (and I live in an area with a pretty stable climate too)
Yay! I was just sitting down to dinner and wasn't finding anything to watch and then this video popped up! Thank you, Lauren!! Happy Holidays and take care! 💕(Sidenote: LOVE seeing the cozy tree up in the background again!!!)
I was at Trader Joe’s on Sunday and passed on the beauty advent calendar just because I had never tried any Trader Joe’s beauty products. If they had the candle one I probably would have gotten that. I ended up with the Lip Balm pack I want to say it was $5.99 for 6 of them I kept two for myself and I love them. Very great balm texture and the scents are clean. I also grabbed a 3-pack of the tin candles for $7.99. I like the one I burned it’s not super scent throwing but a nice clean burn. Sometimes the Bath and Body Works ones are too much for my sinuses.
From what I’ve seen, you can decide how much water you add to powder cleaners, less water would mean more exfoliating pieces. I have the good molecules exfoliator that’s a powder, and I’ve seen Tina Tanaka Harris talk about Japanese cleansing powders. I think sometimes they also have an enzyme in the formula so it is also chemically exfoliating as well (the good molecules one does and it’s very gentle).
We did the Trader Joe’s beauty Advent one year and my one complaint is they are limited edition products. My brother loved the Marshmallow body wash and then we couldn’t get more than the sample size 😭 feels like they waste an opportunity for people to find TJ body products they can use year round.
The upside of trader Joe's is that sometimes they do bring things back. Supergoop sunscreen dupe seems to be available most of the time now.
I think the Trader Joe's advent calendar could be nice considering a lot of people will be traveling during the holidays!
That’s a great point!! They are great sizes for travel!

Btw the sunscreen in the Advent calendar is the dupe for the supergoop

This pink sweater looks so gorgeous on you, you must be a light summer!!
She's definitely a Summer of some kind!
Their candles have been a bit disappointing to me too. Good scents but pretty mild throw
I love all your efficient and critical input! Thank you 😭

I'm early early, nearest TJ is 30 minutes away ! These items are making me want to go to one for the first time.

The best one I picked up was their lip balm kit that had like 8 lip balms to try.
Love the Trader Joe’s Advent Calendars. ❤
We didn't have TJ's! The candles are the winner. Good stocking stuffer! Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️

your make up is so gorgeous and you look so good in pink!!!!
Glad I passed on the lip stuff! I picked up the Brazil nut gift set that had the body cream, body spray and body oil which was so worth it to me!
I picked up the candy cane body butter.its shimmery.i like it.😊
In my experience the TJ candles don’t have any scent throw once lit :(
I love a rice cleanser like the one included in Trader Joe’s
Yeah🎉u read my mind, haven’t been to TJ’s yet for holiday items . Thanks for the research and lovely recs! ❤❤
i got the gardenia body butter and it will be the PERFECT layering lotion underneath white floral fragrances. smells amazing
Please do a Rouge 540 dupe video!
I picked up the TJ's candy cane body butter! Love it so much!
I so enjoy these videos even though we don't have a TJ over here it's still interesting to watch this:)
Good variety of smells. Love the hand creams from TJs

Love advent calendars! I would be very interested to try Trader Joes products 😀 we don't have them where I live but very fun video
I got the advent one, im excited
Yes, I needed you to do this video. Always wondering if I should get something there or if it’s a little sus 😅
I really enjoyed the peppermint shimmer body butter! Did you see that there?
Thats a good deal for the candles & gift whats not ur cup of tea ❤
Always a good day when it ends with a new video from Lauren and a sheet mask 🙏
I LOVE the gummy bear lip because it’s so sweet. However, it doesn’t have any color
Not this advent calendar being one of the smoothest and cleanest to open
Please do a tutorial on this look!!!
Hey the word is devolved not divulged
Keeping it real, opening the tube with your teeth! Sometimes that’s the only way to get it done!
Gift the candles you dont like lol makes me laugh Christmas would be easy if you could always do this l
Oh yeah, Michaels has a very specific smell...
I love the smell of Michaels and Hobby Lobby.
The beauty advent calendar should have been named self care advent calendar.
♥️♥️♥️
There are no permanent items at Trader Joe’s
I just don't understand the hype over Trader Joe's? Is it just me?
