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.

gives the illusion that they're more sculpted.

ooooh nice. I only tested a patch on my arm but I'm looking forward to trying it on my legs after reading this.

I hope the mask can make me seem more alert, because with a 3 month old I'm a hot mess of sleep deprivation.

Newts is your skin normally quite dry? Mine is oily and I have just removed the mask and my skin doesn't feel tight really, just very clean.

After last years calendar I bought one full size product which I am still using, and another I have bought three times since because I love it so much. Don't want to name them as could be spoilers. So yes, if you are reading, S&B marketing gurus, it is worth cheaply? giving us your lovely stuff in the advent calendars Grin

Joining you all, this thread makes the calendar even better.

I was a little underwhelmed yesterday, thinking ‘surely that’s a summer product’ but just put some on my dry, scaly, pale winter legs and now I think it’s fabulous! Like tinted moisturiser for your legs.

LoniceraJaponica · 02/12/2017 20:39

So, overall it looks like yesterday's product was a bit of a dud then.

snowflakestar · 02/12/2017 20:40

My mask is on! Just reading up on it and apparently it erases all signs of tiredness so I am very excited to see how I will look in 20 minutes Grin

snowflakestar · 02/12/2017 20:43

Although it says that application becomes "a real moment of relaxation and pleasure for your skin" but my skin suddenly feels really tight!

I also thought the Rosie cream was a bit duff but I have just put some on and it looks fabulous I am really impressed!

I think my skin looks a bit brighter after using the mask, however it still feels uncomfortably tight. And I like a mask to make my dehydrated skin feel hydrated, especially at this time of year.

Baileystruffle · 02/12/2017 21:51

Mask looks ok, I haven't tried it yet. Something I will use but again, not an item I'm particularly wowed by.

StickyProblem · 02/12/2017 22:15

I did the mask! Smells gorgeous and I did feel relaxed :) skin feels nice now. Mine is oily and doesn’t feel tight.
It’s another big box tomorrroｗ！

BlueEyedWonder · 02/12/2017 22:44

I was hoping I might find a thread like this. DD (13) and I are sharing the calendar.
I have a Christmas party on Friday night so, if I don’t wear tights, I’ll try out the Rosie cream. It’s not something I’d ever buy.
Face mask looks good.
Hoping to wake looking 25 by the 25th 😂

Asmallrole · 02/12/2017 23:06

I like the face mask. It smells lovely. I'm going to use it daily and see if I can see a difference.

SaltySeaBird · 02/12/2017 23:11

Just checking in as have this advent calendar too. Loved the face mask underwhelmed by the tinted cream as not something I’d use.

PeoniesforMissAnnersley · 02/12/2017 23:47

The tinted cream made the hairs on my arms really dark - will try on legs tomorrow, perhaps good for a posh dinner I am going to on Thursday. The mask was excellent. Looking forward to tomorrow!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 03/12/2017 01:22

Well I think you'll all love No3.
I do!

chloechloe · 03/12/2017 06:44

I do too tracy. It's a good'un! Although I have about a year's supply of shower gel to power through first!

AmethystMoon · 03/12/2017 06:46

Pleased with 3, I've used this before and might purchase as a treat. Gorgeous scent Smile

caggie09 · 03/12/2017 07:19

Ive never actually used a shower oil before, so excited to try this. I do have a few lush shower products to use up for first. Now along wait until tomorrow morningXmas Smile

snowflakestar · 03/12/2017 07:24

I prefer baths to showers but I'm not allowed to bathe at the moment so this has come at a good time! It smells nice and I will try it tonight.

SymphonyofShadows · 03/12/2017 07:38

I liked the mask and I'm pleased with today. I was expecting something from this range as they have included it in previous years. Not sure about the shimmer as I'm blue hued. got a mascara in my other calendar so I'm chuffed with day 3

thegrinchreaper · 03/12/2017 07:53

Day 3 is a regular purchase so no complaints here. Although I prefer discovering new things. I'm looking forward to something makeuppy

Commuterface · 03/12/2017 08:24

Really happy with day 3! I love Nuxe anyway but have never tried this. I’ve just put on the mask from yesterday and I’m hoping for a revitalising miracle as I’ve had a cold for over a week

cardoon · 03/12/2017 08:56

Did the Rosie cream from day 1 have a seal on the tube? Mine didn't which seems a bit unusua]. And just checking, are we not ever mentioning the name of the actual product on the day?

MyNameIsJane · 03/12/2017 09:01

Day 3’s offering really is my favourite range. I love the scent and bought the perfume last year.

WindyWednesday · 03/12/2017 09:16

So far only day three has been sealed on the tube. Can I ask what do I do with today’s? I think we had a version of this from last years calendar. How do I use it for best benefit for my dryness.
