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.

The radiance stuff that was in yesterday’s, am I best using it in the morning or evening?

MoonlightBay · 11/12/2017 19:12

Thank you Snowflakestar.

I have just read back and seen reference to bobbly bits etc. I am wishing for a potion that will reverse my ageing brain. Despite reading every post on this thread, I could not remember it being explainedXmas Blush

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 11/12/2017 19:12

No worries I've reported mine too Smile

MoonlightBay · 11/12/2017 19:13

Kez0777 I would opt for evening as some have been getting a tingle.

I must be the only person that was grateful for the beauty blender/sponge! although I just bought myself some. I use these and think they're brilliant, and a pack of 2 can sell for £10 (although I usually buy them on offer) so not bad value either.

Kez0777 · 11/12/2017 19:57

I’ve just lost half my face Shock it feels amazing Xmas Smile

PodgeBod · 11/12/2017 20:02

@SaltySeaBird sorry I don't get notifications on the app, would love to swap 👍

YolandasFridge · 11/12/2017 20:11

Yay kez you must have the same skin as me !
I think I lost about 4 layers at once and I can see into pores I didn't know existed

I do honestly exfoliate regularly...
As I said before, not a thing came off my husband so it seemingly either doesn't work at all or is pretty spectacular

Face footner!

LoniceraJaponica · 11/12/2017 20:12

How often should the face exfoliator be used?

Kez0777 · 11/12/2017 20:15

I’m going to use it everyday and hope I look 25 when I go out on Saturday Xmas Grin

SymphonyofShadows · 11/12/2017 20:42

Blimey, I lost half my face too! I'm definitely getting the full size unless I wake up looking like Igor

Newbiecat · 11/12/2017 20:45

Has anyone used their mascara yet? I've used it two days in a row and I cannot stop itching my eyelashes tonight, I'm convinced it's that. Particularly as I haven't worn any eyeshadow. I'm quite gutted as I need a new mascara as I was getting bored with my No 7 however at least I didn't rub my eyes to shreds with that one !

YolandasFridge · 11/12/2017 20:46

Lonerica no idea officially but I'd say couple of times a week tops
I do like the idea of a Benjamin button type rewind to youth

I'd like to put it all over my body!

YolandasFridge · 11/12/2017 20:55

Newbie that's a shame, sounds like you could be sensitive to something in the mascara Sad

Newbiecat · 11/12/2017 20:59

I know I must be- it's been years since I reacted to mascara! I've just been looking in the mirror and my upper eyelids look all puffy Sad

jpgirl · 11/12/2017 21:03

They do sell a body exfoliating gel in Japan which works in exactly the same way as this one - it’s both amazing and disgusting! I wonder if you could buy it on Amazon..?

Tentomidnight · 11/12/2017 21:18

I've just had a look and there are lots of Japanese & Korean 'peeling gel' products on amazon. The photos show the little rubbery bits that form on the skin. This is an exciting discovery!

CantChoose · 11/12/2017 21:20

I got a lip balm but would have preferred the sponge. Can't please everyone :) I'll still use the lip balm. Just very, very slowly!
I love a beauty blender. Takes too long for daily use but it's amazing with my ELDW for a night out.

Hareinthewoods · 11/12/2017 21:23

I am really pleased with my calendar. I am not really into skin care and have used the same cleanser and moisturiser for years. Just recently my face has really started looking all of it's 40 years. I have noticed a vast improvement in my fine lines and wrinkles since using these products. I will definitely be looking at various different products now. Today I went into my TK Maxx, sadly no dragons blood but did find a rodial highlighter for £3.99!

CiderwithBuda · 11/12/2017 21:37

I wouldn't use the peel or any exfoliator every day. Two or three times a week I'd say.

PodgeBod · 11/12/2017 21:51

Oh I was talking to the woman at the No7 counter at boots today, she said nip+fab do a version of the dragons blood which works just as well but is a fraction of the cost of rodial. If anybody wanted to give that a try Xmas Smile

jpgirl · 11/12/2017 22:00

@Tentomidnight The one I used to use was called Suteki Hada in a turquoise tube. Both delighted and disgusted me! Grin

ChristmasTreeLight · 11/12/2017 22:01

OK so I was moaning about the lip balm earlier but I have just tried it out and the blackcurrant seed oil is really lovely Blush

usernameinfinito · 11/12/2017 22:50

Christmas stop making me jealous! ;)

MoonlightBay · 11/12/2017 23:07

What are the best Nip and Fab products to try?
