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.

Salty, right I made time before the school run for such important business Xmas Grin
How about a Clinique dramatically different moisturising lotion (no size I can see but looks about 20ml) plus the Rosie body lotion, plus a L’Occitane Shea hand cream (10ml)?
If not your bag, day and I’ll see what else I have? Xmas Smile

I'm quite fussy about scents and went a bit Hmm when I saw it was orange, but I actually really like it. Nice to have a perfume as well.

TossDaily · 13/12/2017 08:35

Yuk. Smells like air freshener.

I'm a bit disappointed this year.

HeyRoly · 13/12/2017 08:39

I have sinusitis so I have no hope of smelling this fragrance. I've seen them on QVC recently so they must be a decent brand. I love citrus scents so I look forward to trying it... maybe after the weekend Hmm

Trills · 13/12/2017 08:39

I'll wear this today before deciding what I think of it.

Commuterface · 13/12/2017 09:09

Absolutely delighted with the perfume today. I loved the Shay and Blue offering last year so I couldn't wait to try this and this is an even better scent for me. I'm not working today so had a couple of spritz before the school run and will smell gorgeous for the hairdressers later Xmas Grin

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 13/12/2017 09:10

I really like it! I didn't think I would but it's a nice fresh one.
Good to have something a bit different too

Gaagaa · 13/12/2017 09:12

I like this perfume- was a bit too orangey at first spray but has mellowed into nice not-too-sweet spicy warm scent. I think I'm quite fussy but shay and blue is up my street. Alpha-h of yesterday also a great day. Best to use on its own last thing at night a couple of times a week for super smooth skin in the morning. Last years lasted me a good few months.

Happy advent one and all

NewtsSuitcase · 13/12/2017 09:12

Its lovely. I sprayed it once very quickly at about 6am and I keep getting wafts of it. Its smelling very warm and luxurious.

LizzieSiddal · 13/12/2017 09:22

No i dont like this at all. Smells like air freshener to me too.

Will add to the pile of things to give to my DDs when they come home for Xmas.

WindyWednesday · 13/12/2017 09:23

Have sprayed this and will see how it develops through the day. So far I think it’s masculine.

It’s totally different to my normal perfume.

However I’m sure I will find a use for it.

Whitney168 · 13/12/2017 09:25

Love today's perfume, definite shades of Jo Malone!

wildbuttercup · 13/12/2017 09:25

amethyst was that a spoiler alert aaagghh Shock

snowflakestar · 13/12/2017 09:28

I didn't even realise till you said, wild, I just thought they were other products she had lying around from elsewhere!

AmethystMoon · 13/12/2017 09:53

Wild no! Not a spoiler I promise (well I hope not) Xmas Blush
Salty had said she’d consider things from previous boxes etc. So the other bits were items I had unused from previous beauty boxes or similar.

SunnyUpNorth · 13/12/2017 09:58

Hello! Can I join in too? Only just found this threas after repeatedly thinking there must be one on the go but forgetting to look.

This is my first beauty calendar, I'm 37 and have loved it so far. Really liked the peel and today's perfume. Less sure about the body stuff and have been giving away most of the things I don't like... so shall stop that now for swops!

I love the perfume and the korres sleep mask if anyone has those they don't want?

I haven't opened the Rosie glow, the shower oil, the nail varnish, or the blending sponge. Anyone fancy a swop?

Frederickvonhefferneffer · 13/12/2017 10:10

I really like today’s perfume and im quite fussy with fragrances.
I used the Rose stuff last night and today my skin is lovely and smooth! Feeling great today!

Frederickvonhefferneffer · 13/12/2017 10:12

The shower oil is really nice Sunnyupnorth. The fragrance is average but it is the loveliest shower oil I have found, makes your skin baby smooth, give it a go!

Hareinthewoods · 13/12/2017 10:24

Are we going to do a proper swap thread after Christmas or is everyone swapping now?

MoonlightBay · 13/12/2017 11:08

I love the blood orange fragrance. I will definitely be purchasing this.

TheLuminaries · 13/12/2017 11:11

Lovely perfume. I have lots of perfume so I am in a world of dither over whether to keep or add to DD's stocking. I am really enjoying this calendar & I am glad the thread has perked back up. It got a bit picky and moany in the middle and was harshing my buzz - as I understand the young 'uns like to say - so I haven't been back for a while. All smiles again though Smile

miffy2 · 13/12/2017 11:23

LOVE the perfume. Right up my alley fragrance-wise. I was actually considering plumping for orange sanguine by atelier cologne but fhink I will buy this instead.
I like the alpha h liquid gold too so this version is a nice addition
I got the sponge the other day. Can never have too many of them in this house.
So after a couple of duds I’m really happy. Mind you at an average cost of less than €2 per item I’m certainly not complaining!

AmethystMoon · 13/12/2017 11:58

Salty I’ve PM’d you Xmas Smile

FridgeCut · 13/12/2017 12:25

It's quite long lasting, I've taken my 2 year old swimming and can still smell it.

Anymajordude · 13/12/2017 12:38

I like the perfume too, I'm wearing it now. It's not too sweet or cloying.
