Look Fantastic advent calendar thread

[missfliss]

Ok, shamelessly copying the M&S and Liberty Advent Calendar threads...does anyone want to join me on a Look Fantastic calendar thread

Colour’s not really me but it is a very nice thing to start off with.

Oh wow what a great start and the colour is ideal for my skintone.

Shocked at ladyofthecanyon but thanks for the spoiler-free review! I'm going to try today's gift later and post a piccie. It looks like a lovely colour in the tube.

Welcome to all the new joiners !

Agreed, a strong start even though not for me. Lovely consistency and staying power. Would deffo buy the brand on back of it (so the calendar is doing its commercial job!).

By the way ( and I hope this is helpful) anything that goes unused or only slightly used you could sell on Depop.

I hadn't realised until recently that you can't sell on opened cosmetic stuff on eBay when I tried to sell a barely used Urban Decay Naked 2 eyeshadow palette. A thread on here alerted me to Depop and I sold it there.

I LOVE the first gift! Am rocking it today!

Joining in!

The colour isn't really me and mine isn't very marbled - it's very red at the top and there's a large band of white much further down - which might have helped to tone it down, however it's a lovely lipstick and the staying power is amazing.

Cost £20 from their online shop I see, so this calendar is going to be amazing value for money.

Not my usual colour either, but this is why I do advent calendars - get out of my comfort zone.

Hope no one here knows me in real life. If you do, please be kind...!

I really really like this lipstick. I think it'll be my everyday one. I'm wearing a lot of grey today and a, very pale, it adds just a nice amount of warmth to lift an otherwise dull outfit.

The texture is great. Big thumbs up from me.

I think this is a god representation of the colour, there's no filter and it's taken in a northerly light.

Looks great on you missfliss. It is a very good quality lippy.

Beautiful on you missfliss. It really suits you.

Looks lovely on you! I really liked the shade on me and it's definitely different to colours I'd normally buy. Calendar is looking good at the moment!

It really suits you! You look lovely

Looks fab, @missfliss!

Thankyou I like it too! I wouldn't normally have picked it so big thumbs up from most people for Day 1

Can I join?

I’ve opened today’s box and it is lovely. I tested it on my hand this morning and I’ve had my nails done, cleaned, put up a Christmas tree, washed my hands a lot etc and it is still there!

Looking forward to day 2

Of course you can join and welcome!

I do apologise for my feral behaviour in pre opening but to be fair I watched an unboxing video on YouTube before I bought one so there wasn't much in the way of surprises -but I thought the value offered ( LOADS of full size products, and in brands I liked) made it seem a no brainier.

I repackaged it for my mum with all manner of ( beauty and non beauty) treats in it and she texted this morning saying " Oooo! Lovely nail polish!" So I'm hoping I get an update every day ( as I've forgotten what I put in there )

I love reading all the advent threads though. Listening to people's ( mostly) pure pleasure at these daily little mood lifters is brilliant!

Missfliss apologies, meant to add you look gorgeous!

About spoilers, on the Liberty thread they're saying it's ok to discuss on the day itself, but not before. Sounds reasonable to me - just don't look on this thread until you've opened?

Can i join! I love the lippy and it's a lovely color on me. I don't know the brand, but was really impressed with the quality and the price when I looked it up.
I'm in Australia so I get to open it sooner than you! It's Saturday here already (although stupidly early, thanks 3 year old! )

So pleased I’ve got this calendar this year - I had the same make two years ago, and loved it. Last year I had a selfridges one (not the one that everyone else seemed to have though), and it was awful - hand sanitiser!!

I like the lipstick, but it doesn’t seem too long lasting on me. Non ever do though😞

I don't have the calendar but the lipstick looks lovely, do you mind me asking what brand and shade it is?

It's this one - www.illamasqua.com/lava-lipstick/11551220.html

It's a lot pinkier on me - could that be because of the 'lava' swirls?
