Jesus, have I actually killed the thread? 😂

problembottom · 14/12/2017 21:43

😂 I think like a night cream, yes. Heard good things about Korre. I’m ready for some more make up now.

snowplop · 14/12/2017 22:03

I used the mask today and loved it. Also used the Moroccan Oil - gosh I'd forgotten how good it is! Like pps I'd also got the Korres cream in the M+S calendar. I really like it so I'm happy to have some more. I love the brand; their fig shower gel is divine.

caggie09 · 15/12/2017 07:23

The brush is lovely! So soft and i love the colour. No clue what its used for though, i just used it as a blush brush😂

missfliss · 15/12/2017 07:39

Just popping on to say I used the Moroccan oil this morning, it's fab !! My hair is really shiny and manageable! Will definitely buy this again.
Scuse the morning face - usually after a rough blow dry my hair would be much frizzier and in need of taming. This is literally a blast with a hair dryer running fingers through and then a quick brush.

Very impressed.

Lovely, missfliss. I was impressed with how shiny it made my hair, I just have to work out how to use it with my curl cream.

A bit disappointed with today's. It's pretty but I've looked it up before opening and it's a contour brush. I don't use foundation or do contouring so it's wasted on me. And I already have the perfect blusher brush so wouldn't try to use it as that.

missfliss · 15/12/2017 09:11

Just opened today's - it feels very good quality so am happy, I can see me using this to apply powder ( I don't contour!) it's got a really nice rounded shape and good soft but dense bristles.

I was wondering what I would use to try the banana powder... wonder no more. I will say it again, I’m impressed so far...

BigStripeyBastard · 15/12/2017 10:56

I am happy with today's brush.... I will use it for blush as I don't have a blush brush and i definintely don't contour!

BewareOfDragons · 15/12/2017 17:57

I don't contour (or use blush for that matter), but it's great for the banana powder I finally tried today. :) Loved the banana powder - it worked!

problembottom · 15/12/2017 20:28

LOVE todays, what a gorgeous brush.

caggie09 · 16/12/2017 06:15

When i first opened todays i thought it was going to be a fail for me. Putting an eyebrow pencil in, is abit risky. It matches my brows though so im very pleased. Did everyone get the light/medium shade?

snowflakestar · 16/12/2017 08:01

Yes, I got the light/ medium shade. I don't use brow pencils so I don't think I'll open it. I once received a Chanel brow pencil to test, in the perfect colour, but it's been sat there unused ever since. I was quite excited when I saw the size of the box today!

woofmiaowwoof · 16/12/2017 09:14

Hmmm not something I can see myself using - suppose brush end useful for grooming but I’ve not touched the clear brush gel I got in last year’s M&S calendar

DuncanDonut · 16/12/2017 12:02

I thought I was going mad today - huge big box, but no weight to it, and the tiny piece of tissue paper inside - I seriously thought I'd already opened it and forgotten what it was!

Then I looked properly! Bit disappointed - wrong colour, and not something I'd use anyway. Though I've smeared it on as eyeliner, and I'm now hoping my eyes don't fall off.

purplewaterbottle · 16/12/2017 12:32

Yeah far too light for me- my eyebrows are way darker. I’ll be gifting it to my much fairer haired sister!

problembottom · 16/12/2017 14:33

Today’s not something I’d use, happy with my brows. Ah well, I love most of the calendar thus far.

woofmiaowwoof · 16/12/2017 17:50

Yeah you’re always going to get a few duds

BewareOfDragons · 16/12/2017 19:56

Yes, dud. I was disappointed with today's especially because it was such a big box. Expected more.

Annabelle4 · 16/12/2017 20:02

I've loved it too so far, but I hope there won't be any more skin care products I have enough to last 2 years already

Tomorrow's box is heavy 😊

BigStripeyBastard · 16/12/2017 20:33

I bought a bloody eyebrow pencil yesterday! However, the one I bought was a shade too dark so,with this one being a shade too light, I am now able to create perfectly serviceable browswith a comboof the two! Result!

InfiniteSheldon · 16/12/2017 20:54

I have hair growing out of my chin and vanishing from my eyebrows so another winner for me

BluebellGal · 17/12/2017 00:24

The eyebrow crayon was a winner for me (opened calendar early) however I was very disappointed it only last me 4 weeks. I was going to repurchase. Is this normal for a product to last just a month? I didn’t apply it heavily but did use it everyday

kmmr · 17/12/2017 01:44

Opened the lid today (where I'm storing most items) and the oil has spilled over everything! Crisis, especially the lovely new brush. Grrr. Big wash coming as it doesn't just wipe off.

caggie09 · 17/12/2017 07:12

Todays is a really good product! No wonder the box felt so heavy! This is another thing ive heard gets good reviews so cant wait to try this. Im using the Superdrug facial spritz atm and i dont like it, so this is going in its place!
