NEOM Advent Calendar 2025 Review

I have to say, I’m really impressed with the NEOM Advent Calendar 2025. It’s such a beautiful edit of the brand’s wellness favourites, and it feels really thoughtful. I love that there are 10 full-sized products in here, so it doesn’t feel like you’re just collecting minis. The Perfect Night’s Sleep Mist is one of my absolute favourites. It’s worth £25 alone and always makes such a difference to my bedtime routine.

The Sparkling Joy Essential Oil Blend is a brand new festive fragrance, and it’s gorgeous. It’s really bright, uplifting, and instantly puts me in a Christmas mood. I also think the Christmas Wish Candle is a standout inclusion. It’s full-sized, it smells amazing, and it’s exactly the kind of thing that makes an advent calendar feel really luxurious.

Avora Immersive Experience

August 28, 2025 - 7:30 pm | August 28, 2025 avora review, lifestyle, sarah fynn, THINGS TO DO, things to do in london

Comments Off

Hello hello everyone!

I first saw the experience about 2-3 years ago on my fyp and its always been on my mind, this year for Yasmin birthday I finally decided to do it!

Without giving too much away, the Avora immersive experience is one of the popular experiences in London. The concept is simple: you are a top research scientist and you have been invited to a trip to Avora, to learn about the planet and the people. The experience comes with 3 drinks and these can be with or without alcohol. They will ask your preference at the door. And please remember to bring your ID! Don’t let the outside throw you off! I legit thought I was in the wrong place

This was my first immersive experience and whilst I didn’t know what to expect I was really excited. The actors were phenomenal- they really get into character and its very interactive- your willingness to also get into it with the actors and your group will make your experience more enjoyable. I was called up to be the doctor who brought the music- LMAO!

Avora is a beautiful planet filled with very curious Avorians. You learn about them, explore their world and ‘drink to survive’

My overall experience is really positive. The actors were great! The experience starts pretty much once you book because you will receive an NDA to sign prior to your experience! The drinks were really good ( strong for me haha) and you get given a special spacesuit to complete your experience! It very much gave Avatar vibes. I highly recommend it.

My only con was that I wish there was more of Avora to explore. In total we went into 3 rooms with a new drink in each room but I wish there were 5 rooms/areas to explore with the drinks more spaced out. The tickets are kinda pricey £49.50 ( peak time) but think of it as paying for the drinks with a show. I think tickets are slightly cheaper during the week.

We saw Alcatraz next door- I think they are from the same company, another popular immersive experience- I’m not quite sure if I want to do that one.

Will you make accept the call and brave the journey into Avora?

Catch you later

Rhode Glazing Mist Review - Hydration and Barrier Support in a Bottle?

If you’ve been curious about the Rhode Glazing Mist, you’re not alone. This skincare mist has been getting a lot of buzz, and I’ve been testing it out to see how it really performs. Here’s my full review, including what I liked, how it works on the skin, and who I think it’s best for.

What is Rhode Glazing Mist?

Rhode Glazing Mist is a facial mist designed to add a layer of hydration and barrier support throughout the day. It contains a mix of humectants, barrier-building lipids, and soothing ingredients. The formula isn’t overly complex, but it does what it sets out to do: hydrate and refresh.

Key Ingredients

Glycerin – one of my favourite humectants. It draws water into the skin and keeps things bouncy and hydrated.

Ectoin – a very buzzy skincare ingredient at the moment. It’s known for protecting the skin against stress, pollution, and dehydration.

Beta-glucan – calms irritation, hydrates, and supports healing.

Ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) – great for strengthening the skin barrier

Panthenol – soothing, repairing, and helps with skin softness

Magnolia Bark Extract – antioxidant with anti-inflammatory benefits.

How to use it

You can apply this straight after cleansing and before your serums and moisturisers. It’s also designed to be used on the go, whenever your skin needs a boost in hydration.

I really like how hydrating this mist feels on the skin. It’s lightweight, refreshing, and has lots of those barrier-building ingredients that my skin always appreciates.

I especially love the inclusion of glycerin, which is such a reliable hydrator, and ectoin, which feels very of-the-moment and innovative.

When I apply it, it gives my skin a lovely dewy glow. That said, I don’t think the dewy finish lasts all day. It sinks in quite quickly, which makes the effect more subtle as time goes on.

I tried it on my husband and he looked nice and glowy (in fact, more dewy than he wanted to look!), but later on in the day, I honestly forgot I’d sprayed it on him. So I’d say the finish is fairly temporary.

Who is Rhode Glazing Mist Best For?

This is definitely a hydration and barrier support mist, so if you’re someone with:

Dry skin
Sensitive or stressed skin
Or just looking for a quick moisture top-up during the day

…it could be a really nice product to keep in your handbag.

It’s not an anti-ageing mist and it won’t target serious skin concerns, but it does a great job of hydrating and refreshing when your skin feels tight or dull.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Lightweight hydration
Good barrier support ingredients (ceramides, panthenol, ectoin)
Gives a dewy glow on application
Easy to use on the go

Cons:

Dewy effect doesn’t last overly long
Not targeted for anti-ageing or deeper skin issues
Quite a “basic” function compared to more active mists

FAQs: Rhode Glazing Mist

Is Rhode Glazing Mist good for oily skin?

Yes, but you might not need the extra barrier lipids unless your skin feels stripped or tight.

Does Rhode Glazing Mist set makeup?

Not really. This is more of a skincare mist than a setting spray. It may refresh makeup but isn’t designed to lock it in.

Can I use Rhode Glazing Mist every day?

Absolutely. It’s gentle enough for daily use, even multiple times a day. I like this about it, because I think we can get a bit mist happy and you can completely go for it with this one. Whereas something like the Elemis Pro-Collagen Toning Mist contains active exfoliants, so you should go mad with it.

Is Rhode Glazing Mist anti-ageing?

No, it’s not formulated to target fine lines, wrinkles, or pigmentation. It’s more about hydration and barrier repair.

Alternatives to Rhode Glazing Mist

If you like the sound of this formula but want to explore other options, here are some alternatives with similar hydrating/barrier-supporting profiles:

Origins Mega Mushroom Soothing Hydra Mist – packed with reishi and fermented ingredients, this one leans more into calming sensitivity alongside hydration
Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Hydrator Mist Radiant Skin Rescue Essence – luxe option with hydrating actives and a radiant skin finish, ideal if you want a more makeup-friendly mist
Curel Deep Moisture Spray* – ceramide-infused mist designed specifically for barrier support

Final Thoughts

Rhode Glazing Mist is a lovely hydrating mist with lots of thoughtful, skin-friendly ingredients. If you want something simple to top up moisture during the day and enjoy that fresh, dewy look, it’s a good option.

It won’t transform your skin or tackle major issues, but it’s a comforting, handbag-friendly hydration boost.

The Rhode Glazing Mist is £30 and available now via the link below:
