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.

What do you do with the thing in day 3?

LoniceraJaponica · 03/12/2017 09:18

This isn't something I would use being a soap user, but I will give it a try. The smell is rather overpowering, but not unpleasant.

crazymissdaisy · 03/12/2017 09:26

Ooh I like this brand! But do you rinse it off or is it a leave on thing? Makes me feel like an ancient Roman, washing with oil!

cardoon · 03/12/2017 09:28

Thanks Windy.

TheBitterBoy · 03/12/2017 09:29

Windy it's a shower oil, so just use in place of shower gel I assume (it has instructions in tiny writing on the back)
I'm really pleased with this one, I love the body oil, so keen to try this one.

NumberEightyOne · 03/12/2017 09:30

The scent is amazing.

MelanieCheeks · 03/12/2017 09:36

Hmmm, I find the scent too overpowering (is there Ylang ylang in it? I never could stand that smell).

bagelbaby · 03/12/2017 09:40

Oops. Didn't have my glasses on and rubbed it all over my arm thinking it was a body lotion! Off to the shower now Blush

sluj · 03/12/2017 09:43

Never used a shower oil either. Will it leave an oily film on my nice white stone effect shower tray? 😁

LoniceraJaponica · 03/12/2017 09:52

That's my concern as well sluj

CiderwithBuda · 03/12/2017 10:05

Only just remembered to open today's offering!

Happy enough with it. Like the smell. Have had it and used it before. Going away for a few nights in a couple of weeks so will save it till then.

I've used it before and didn't notice any oily film on the bath after. But I was staying in a hotel so not bothered. If you are concerned just make sure you rinse the shower really well with hot water.

I used yesterday's mask last night before going out. Unfortunately I still look the same as I did before!

CiderwithBuda · 03/12/2017 10:09

Oh this thread is worth a read esp if you are not overly impressed with the M&S offerings every day! Grin

Trills · 03/12/2017 10:12

I already have some of this day 3 shower stuff and I like it, so I'm happy enough to have some more. Yes, you use it as you would use shower gel.

Pomegranatepompom · 03/12/2017 10:13

Pretty pleased with today's, wasn't too impressed with day 1, not keen on the fragrance.

CointreauVersial · 03/12/2017 10:26

Ooh, I love this stuff. The smell of Nuxe is heavenly.
3 out of 3 so far, M&S!

craigglen · 03/12/2017 10:27

Am so glad I've found this thread. I love everything so far - am looking forward to trying the mask this evening.

Very happy with the shower gel. I have noticed we are all avoiding mentioning brand names but I think it's OK once the day is here IYSWIM?

I just wanted to avoid some bastard rocking up on day three saying the best thing is the Opi nail polish in day eleven or something like that!

I can't smell anything very well at the moment as I have a slight cold but I have the Nuxe perfume which I really love and hope this will smell similar.

Skin is feeling good today. Tanned patch isn't looking as tanned so I would say the Rosie tanning cream is good for just a night out but I did like it and it didn't make the hairs on my arms go dark or orange. I am very very fair though with almost invisible hairs.

Just tried the shower oil in a shower that doesnt have a fancy stone type tray. Its really more like a cream than an oil or gel.

It hasn't left any film on the shower tray or screen so will be ok to use in the stone one, I think.

I have to say I couldn't really smell anything or feel any difference so not something I would buy. Nice to try something different though.

Trills · 03/12/2017 11:10

I originally thought the Rosie cream would be just shimmery, I was surprised at how brown it was when I squeezed it out. I didn't notice any colour on my arms from it at all though.

LoniceraJaponica · 03/12/2017 11:10

Have you got a cold sluj? The shower oil has a really powerful smell.

sluj · 03/12/2017 11:12

I have actually. I'll go and get some sinutab then have a sniff 😁

LoniceraJaponica · 03/12/2017 11:15

I hope you feel better soon

sluj · 03/12/2017 11:20

Cheers Lonicera. It's only a little one. It will be nice when we get our fully qualified medics home, eh?

mowglik · 03/12/2017 11:24

Pleased with today’s nuxe shower oil, I’ve been wanting to try a shower oil for ages - I currently have yesterday’s face mask on and will jump in the shower to try the shower oil - happy with day 2 and 3 so far!

CointreauVersial · 03/12/2017 11:24

OP, I figure most people who visit this thread will have opened that day's box before checking in.
