Who has ordered one?
It just went on general release today. Not bad at £80 for non-subscribers, and worth over £370. Lots of different products. Quite makeup heavy but I’d use most of it.

Anyone else?

Link to buy: www.glossybox.co.uk
Contents link (SPOILERS): www.reallyree.com/glossybox-advent-calendar/

Me too. It looks good. My daughter will take any makeup I don't use.

It does look good. I’m hoping I forget most of the contents by the time I open it so I can be surprised lol.

Yes, I'm ready! Haven't looked at the contents or any unboxings, so I am ready to be totally surprised!

Oooh thank you - I've bookmarked that. Will make sure I open before nosing on there and on fbook too incase they post it on the glossybox page :)

I know what 25 is - or rather what sort of product it is - purely because the back page of my 'spoiler' booklet was bent down slightly and I saw the top corner. Been forcing myself not to watch spoilers on fbook or look anything else up :)

I did look at the unboxing but tbh I did for a whole bunch, some I bought and some I didn’t. So I honestly can’t remember what’s in anything. Exciting!

I can’t remember what’s in it, but I had it last year and loved it. Not long now!

Is this going to be the daily thread? Delighted with today’s offering. A strong start.

@SymphonyofShadows - Yep, this is the daily thread. Feel free to say what it is as long as it’s on the right day (anyone opening in advance should only reveal on the correct day).

I think it’s a great item. Brill start from Glossybox. I’ve not got any products from NYX but I keep hearing about them. I will definitely use these shadows. Can never have too many neutrals. Great size for taking in holiday too.

I agree the colours are fab. They will suit most people's colouring. I love the sparkly ones.

I like this! Good to start with a substantial product, and like @Writersblock2 I'll always be able to use neutral colours. I know people often say they like red / glittery stuff at Christmas but tbh I won't use those much the rest of the year.

Very happy with the NYX Ultimate pallette in warm neutrals this morning. Again as I said in another thread, I had a massive make up/skin care clear out and use up to make way for the December influx of calendar stuff and I'm glad this is there because the palette's from Glossy box most recently are not my colour in the slightest. This one most definitely is!

Strong start from Glossy box! :)

What do you all think of the packaging? I really like it. It’s a heavy calendar and it feels pretty luxe. A lot more substantial than some of the others. Makes me wonder about the sub boxes - if they are like this then I’d be impressed.

They haven't revealed on the glossybox website yet. I'm hoping they do some demos with the eyeshadow. Nice to see some different ways of using it.

Thanks Writers The sub boxes are a mixture. You get some higher end products mixed in with some oddities. Last year in December I think I got a really nice palette and Imperial Leather ‘mermaid’ shower gel amongst the items.

Did anyone get the christmas box? I think it's already sold out!

Writersblock2 · 02/12/2019 07:56

Nah, decided not to in the end, since I have so many calendars.

Speaking of: happy with today’s offering. What does everyone else think?

I'm pleased as I had resolved to try some new perfumes. Just getting ready so I'll put it on then and see what I think. It's a decent tester size.

I didn't go for the Christmas box either, as I figured I will have a glut of stuff from my many calendars. Also I have lots of Yankee candles already and there was another item I wouldn't have used, so that just tipped things.
