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

Duncan, it says for use from head to toe so I think it should be fine as a facial moisturiser. That's what I'm going to use it as, anyway.

Plus it can also be used on children so I might try it on the dry patch that one of mine gets. I've just checked and descriptions online say that it can be used on the face.

My hair doesn't look as good as normal today, so I won't be bothering with scalp exfoliating again!

Just incase you've missed this

Thanks for that Annabelle, I hadn't seen that page.

I really like the lipstick and would quite like one in a pinker colour in the future however I went to investigate them and they seem to be out of stock in every colour in most places - have they been discontinued or are they just popular I wonder?

Happy with today’s.

I've tried the cream and it's not like I expected it to be; I thought it would be rich and thick but it's lightweight and has sunk straight into my skin (so much so that there isn't a trace left so I think I'll apply more before bed).

I opened number 4 today and both DDs were really unimpressed! I’ve had this cream before and really liked it

I really liked today's cream: very light, not greasy and went right in. Yay.

The cream isn’t cutting it for my dry hands I’m afraid- need my trusty L’Occitain

I opened this calendar about six weeks ago. One of the products which I love (but you guys haven’t opened yet - no spoilers here) has run out after just 4 weeks of use

I’ll be interested when you get to it to see what you think. I had decided this was a repeat purchase, but now I’m not sure.

Have you spotted anything yet that will be a repeat purchase? I think the lava lipstick is a definite for me - I love it. Perhaps the eyeliner too

The cream isn't moisturising enough for my face - I put on a second layer and my face still felt dry.

MissFliss Off topic but where did you get your lovely earrings from please? The ones you have on in the eyeliner pic.

Sorry to butt in eveyone. I'm enjoying the thread even though I don't have the LF one.

I do use Micellar water so this is a good day. Nothing to exciting, butvit will get used! Ive not found another one thats came close to the Garnier one yet

Yes I'm quite happy with this too, haven't used this exact product before but it will definitely be used.

I've used Lancome eau micellaire water in the morning for years, since before cleansing waters were a big thing (I get the giant pump bottles which last forever). Have just tried today's and I'll be sticking to the Lancome. It feels very drying on my skin and it is too highly scented for me (and I'm not sure about the smell either). I can still smell it on my face!

I used to try brand after brand in the search for something that would help my then problem skin. I finally found a regime that works for me and have stuck to the same products for years now, because they work for my skin, but I do feel a little bored every now and again. I used to quite enjoy researching products, and now I haven't got a clue about many of the latest products! So this is a good way of trying them - though I'll be very surprised if I like any enough to switch to them.

The last time I used miceller water it made my eyelids flaky and sore, so I’m a bit hesitant to try this out. I’ll hang on and see what you all think!

Never used micellar water before so am looking forward to giving it a go. Really impressed so far.

I like this miscellar water - useful when you’re feeling lazy. Not mad keen on the fragrances used by the Balanceme brand as a whole though - this one is better than it’s other products.

I'm not keen on micellar waters for cleansing, I prefer a hot flannel and a balm. But, today's one does smell very nice so I'll pop it in my emergency work overnight washbag.

enid the earrings are Pilgrim constellation earrings called "Cassiopeia"

They are available still on QVC for a tenner

I cleanse with cleanser and toner at night and find the water is all I need for mornings. I tried hot flannels and balm - and the whole CH routine - but it didn't do anything for me so I went back to my trusty favourites.

I was fine waiting months (or so it seemed!) to open the first box but now I'm struggling to wait a day for the next one (though I am waiting!)!

Wow, the liberty one does look absolutely beautiful I must admit, but I couldn't justify the expenditure

MissF Thank you!

Everyone's different snowflake I use a cheapish balm from M&S and didn't get on with eve lom / Emma hardie posh ones. I don't wear foundation usually or even tinted moisturiser just eye make up. I like liquid exfoliants.

I have tried micellar waters too there's that original one ( forgotten who makes it) and they felt refreshing at the time but did irritate my eyes.
