Youcanstay you can happily have my brow pencil , it's unopened and I won't use.

snowflakestar · 19/12/2017 07:53

I'm really happy with today's as it's my favourite hand cream!

purplewaterbottle · 19/12/2017 08:18

It is yet another small thing of moisturiser though. Which is fine for the handbag but not very imaginative.

missfliss · 19/12/2017 08:34

I'm ok with todays. A hand cream had to appear at some point, and this particular one is known for being really effective (as opposed to just smelling nice)

Question about how to use the mist. It's lovely, and its 40 degrees here so it's refreshing , but can I use it over makeup? I wear basic makeup each day, so i never get to use these products! Can I just spray over the top?

BringMeTea · 19/12/2017 11:37

Yes, definitely can over make up.
Hand cream. Inevitable. S’okay.

snowflakestar · 19/12/2017 12:35

You can use it over make-up but it's supposed to have ingredients that are great for your skin and it's quite expensive so I wouldn't use it for that personally, I'd use a cheaper water spray!

snowflakestar · 19/12/2017 12:37

I'd spray it after cleansing, but before make up, personally.

snowflakestar · 19/12/2017 17:40

I'm loving the Moroccan Oil. I used it again last night and put curl cream straight on top. My hair is so shiny and soft again today! This will be something I repurchase.

problembottom · 19/12/2017 21:31

Incredibly pretty product but I’ve never used hand cream. Does it really make a difference?

ellaballoo · 20/12/2017 06:29

Very pleased today , a lovely travel size of my favourite moisturiser.

dirtyprettything · 20/12/2017 07:57

More moisturiser...
Nice but would love a bit more make up!

snowflakestar · 20/12/2017 08:09

Happy with today's. Though as much as I love skincare , I would love some make up too as that's something that I don't treat myself to nowadays...

caggie09 · 20/12/2017 08:23

Wanted to try this but never have. Think its abit pricey so nice to have a mini of it. It better work miraclesSmile £82 for 50mlShock

purplewaterbottle · 20/12/2017 08:26

Yes gotta say, my skin has never been so hydrated!

Annabelle4 · 20/12/2017 08:31

Amazing product but I'm also a little disappointed with the amount of skin care.
I put the rose one on my face when I was going to bed last night and it stung. It must be a bit harsh for my skin?

snowflakestar · 20/12/2017 08:39

I've bought and used it before and liked it but not as much as my usual Dermalogica and Elizabeth Arden moisturisers.

woofmiaowwoof · 20/12/2017 09:55

i also wish there had been more make-up in this - I love elemis, but this didn't do much for me, my DM bought me a tub once and I can't say that after I'd used it I looked miles better. I suppose make-up is harder to get something that works for everyone perhaps?

Chicci1 · 20/12/2017 09:59

I got the same thing yesterday and today - the elemis cream. Anyone else??

Paperdove87 · 20/12/2017 10:01

Another moisturiser! I guess at least we've got a lot of variety to compare but I don't really need another one. Would love a bit more makeup.

NaturalBornSinner · 20/12/2017 11:47

I was slightly disappointed with yet another moisturiser, although will reserve judgement until I've actually tried it! I was hoping for more hair products - I'm still using the Ojon hair serum from last year's calendar which I love.

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 20/12/2017 12:20

Another moisturiser? I'm hopeful the last few days will be a bit better than this...I have only got one face!

GrumpyOldFucker · 20/12/2017 15:39

Yeah, disappointed too. I got this one because I thought it was high on the make-up.

MimieD · 20/12/2017 16:34

This is the third year I have a LF advent calendar and it's never had a lot of make up in it, mostly skin and haircare.

problembottom · 20/12/2017 21:43

I already have this exact Elemis day cream and love it, so another winner for me.

I’m really getting on with the Korres overnight facial, love the smell and my skin is super soft.
