Are we all ready? Stand by your beds for tomorrow! I just keep looking at mine in wonderment. It really cheered me up every day last December having something to open every morning Smile

I couldn't see another day by day thread - happy to delete mine if someone else has one.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the different face creams and trying to work out what to use when. I'd really like some perfume and some kind of makeup like lip gloss or mascara.

Georggggeee - queue some dreadful synthesised 70s music

I’m putting them all back in their boxes until the last day so I can have a good look at everything. God I’m boring.

I checked in my TKMaxx today to see what Rodial stuff they had. Unfortunately nothing in the dragon's blood range :( I did spot a few things from the exfoliating range - including a full size of last year's exfoliating mask, but it was only reduced to €40 so not much of a bargain. I got an exfoliating cleanser though, for €13, so happy enough.

Did everyone get the same colour lipstick? A pale purply pink colour?

PeppersTheCat · 08/12/2017 00:14

heateallthebuns Yes, it seems that everyone got the same colour lipstick.

CastielIsMyAngel · 08/12/2017 06:12

Ooo,.looking forward to trying today's offering! Just what I need to be honest

AmethystMoon · 08/12/2017 06:16

Very nice, I liked the waterproof one which I think came in a summer beauty box by eyeko. This should surely please most of us?

Kez0777 · 08/12/2017 06:22

I’m very happy with this and hoping it works. I’m on a never ending search to find a mascara that doesn’t end up all over my face and hoping this is going to be the one Grin

crazymissdaisy · 08/12/2017 06:30

I'm always happy to try a new mascara!

panicovernow · 08/12/2017 06:53

I’m very happy with today’s offering. Loved this brands eyeliner last year so I have high expectations for the mascaraSmile

caggie09 · 08/12/2017 07:05

Needed a new mascara for today as i binned my other amd waited to find one in advent! Cant wait to try it, really like the curved brush!

MelanieCheeks · 08/12/2017 07:10

The lip thing is very Claudia Winkleman.

I always seem to have too many mascaras, as there is always one in any free gift set. And they are never the type I like. So I'm less than enthused by today's offering.

ForSaleChesterDraws · 08/12/2017 07:11

Finally! Something I was glad to get. I only wear tubing mascara so excited to try this one out.

Xmasbaby11 · 08/12/2017 07:11

I need a new mascara and this looks very stylish! Can't wait to try.

snowflakestar · 08/12/2017 07:17

Fairly happy with today's but will wait for people to try before opening as it says it's designed for after hours, as it creates a lot of volume and drama. My lashes are naturally long and thick - I only wear mascara to make them darker as they're naturally blonde - and even the cheapest standard mascara can make them look like false eyelashes if I'm not careful! And having young children I don't go out so I only wear it during the day.

FourEyesGood · 08/12/2017 07:24

I won’t use mine (I only ever use brown mascara). Anyone want to swap?

saladdays66 · 08/12/2017 07:29

Yay! Mascara. Looks good.

CiderwithBuda · 08/12/2017 07:32

Happy to try this. I'm going to a Ball tomorrow night so will use then. And if it's not too night time it will be handy next weekend when I go away.

Finally used the chemical peel from last year last night and followed with the Korres Rose night mask from yesterday. Skin feels nice and soft but have a couple of little spots this morning. Nothing major though.

Pomegranatepompom · 08/12/2017 07:33

Looking forward to trying and just in time fir my work party !
Will there be a swap thread ?

LoniceraJaponica · 08/12/2017 07:37

"The lip thing is very Claudia Winkleman."

It actually looks a lot darker on your lips. It looks horrendous on me, but brilliant on DD.

Tonight's Keep fit group drinks has been cancelled so I don't have an occasion to wear today's offering. I have dark eyelashes anyway so never wear mascara. I could have done with this last Friday as we had our work meal out then.

rookiemere · 08/12/2017 07:40

hurrah at last something other than skincare for aged crones (of which I am one) or unsavoury lip colour. I love these mascaras got one in their summer box and it lasts for ages. Very happy 😀

YesThisIsMe · 08/12/2017 08:14

I’m wearing it today (feeble eyelashes mean I need all the help I can get). Seems OK, you couldn’t use it on bottom lashes.

Gaagaa · 08/12/2017 08:28

I got one of these (waterproof one) in summer and it is fab and still going so hope this is a good 'un

I have dark eyelashes but found it good consistency and not too spidey eyed (not too thick) hopefully this is similar consistency
