Beauty advent - best and worst bits?

[MWM]

So now we've all had some time to use the products from our advent calendars I just wondered what everyone thought of them?
I got the liberty calendar and I loved it, the box was so pretty I daren't bin it. My favourite product has to be the Votary oil, it just makes me face look so fresh the next day. I have also liked the lip balm, Bobbi Brown tint and the Eve Lom cleanser.

The worst was probably the weird cucumber perfume and the brow balm.

Yep the Aldi one was shit. Millions of serums, repeated. Really disappointing.

Hmm, I actually liked the aldi one, me and dh had one each, it was lots of serums but I knew that before a bought it.

My skin was fantastic by Christmas, after i purchased my first one they got reduced in my store so I ended up with a few more to use through out the year.

That wasn't a name check hmm to hmmmhashtag just a general hmm

Sorry lozenge
It was too good not to share, seriously reduced lovely, lovely Nuxe products. I've got a nice stock now to last me the year ahead.

In the M&S one ,the liquid gold and Rosie chubby lip pencil were amazing

I've just bought the nuxe countdown calendar- thanks amythst for the link!

I had the M&S one, but I think I'm a bit younger than the target audience, so I've given my mum quite a bit.

I haven't tried much from it, but I liked the liquid gold. Its been great at drying up spots.

Also liked the lip gloss, and Burt's bees lip balm.

I didn't like the nuxe oil, or the Neils Yard hand cream, because the smell was awful.

I had the M&S one. I love the filler, the acid peel (the green tube, can't remember what it's called),the REN day cream, the perfume, the hand cream and the lip crayon. DD has been using the hair products as she has long swishy hair whereas I have a pixie cut.

I didn't rate the nail polishes as they chipped really quickly. I also didn't rate the eyebrow gel, I prefer the no7 one I already have.

Omg that Nuxe calendar, what a bargain!!! Have just treated myself. Thanks so much for the tip :)

I was disappointed with aldi!
Dd had the Boots one and it was brilliant
I am having it next year. I bought her a Jack Wills one 1/2 price the other day 😂
She'll have no clue it's 2016

All change! Just ordered 2 nuxe ones for me and my mummy for xmas 17

I had the M&S one. Quite disappointing. I have quite oily son and very unlined son despite my great age. So many of the items were geared for dry, wrinkly skin. The face peels were no better than a 99p face pack from the local chemist. The nail polishes were almost identical, (as someone up thread already mentioned) the hand cream was dull and boring, ditto the nail file and lip balm stick. Who really wants sun block in January and what was with the pointless clear eyebrow tamer? I didn't have any lipsticks in mine either.

Next year I'll go for one with make up in. Skin care products are to me basic items and are functional rather than thrilling.

I did like the hair oil though. Makes my long locks shiny and smooth.

Massive bargin on the nuxe website though they have the summer gift set of 100 ml oil plus 50 spf face cream for £10 - 100 ml oil is usually £28 ... I may have stocked up I love that stuff!

Nuxe website has really god deal on their Creme freche moisturiser. Normally costs £25, they had a set with a free face mask reduced to £12.50. I may have just stocked up on a set or three......

Though have had my fill of the huille prodigeux, loads of free samples in various m&s calendars and beauty boxes.
