I will be getting one

No Marthas I have never had to return any box or calendar. I am returning some of the stuff I bought (got two calendars!) and they just refund you as normal, don't worry.

Great

Thanks happy

I've just had an undies stock up so ordered mine as well and will pick up in my local store on Saturday. It looks really good value this time (I've been a bit underwhelmed with the last couple) and there are several things that I've wanted to try, particularly the Elasticizer, the REN shower gel and the Sleep Cream. I've got a couple of short breaks coming up so these sizes will be perfect to take with me.

Just had a look through lovely bits and bobs

Fragrance quite nice to pop in handbag too

Am really pleased with the contents. Also got the Advent calendar and was so disappointed so this is nice surprise. After spending day in the sun I have just used the elasticiser, shower gel and after sun....feels really luxurious and a real treat. Nail varnish is perfect for toes and my daughter has taken 2 lip balms. Am planning to order another box to bring on hols. A v happy customer😁.

Mine arrived today, very happy with it. Passed a couple of bits to my mum, but no pillow spray, so I'd better get in touch with them.

I'm pleased with my box, even though I wasn't sure initially if I'd use everything. The lip colour and nail varnish are great, and I even like the perfume. I am already a huge fan of Elasticizer and the Sleep Cream.

The only thing I'm puzzled by is the Color WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Hair Spray. I can't work out what it actually does - is it just....err......hairspray?! Hairspray is not something I use, and my hair isn't hugely affected by humidity, so I think I'll be offloading that on DM.

DD1 has already nabbed the lip balm.

Weebarra - the pillow spray was tiny, and wrapped in yellow tissue.

With the PK elasticizer, do you have to wet your hair properly to put it on? And then go back in the shower later to rinse it off? It sounds like such a faff. I really wanted to try this product and knew it was a pre-wash, but assumed you put it on dry hair and then rinsed off.

@CointreauVersial the wow spray is used before hair drying, the heat then activated the spray to prevent humidity. It made me hair nice and soft with no frizz

Thanks jridndn. Not convinced!

@LoonvanBoon - I dampen my hair very lightly before applying Elasticiser - I basically stick my head under the sink tap and pat a little water onto it, or comb it through. You don't want your hair too wet before you apply, or it drips everywhere while you are waiting for it to work its magic.

Great, I've got school uniform to buy for dc and as one is going to a new school it's going to cost me ££ so I may as well treat myself!

As I said previously, I'm picking up mine with my order tomorrow.

However, DH has also said that he wants to have a look and possibly buy a new suit, so has agreed that if he does he will get me another box.

I love DH....

Thanks Cointreau, that sounds a lot more practical.

The deep sleep pillow spray works brilliantly, I had my doubts, but I've had a really good couple of nights sleep using it. Despite the fact everytime I spray it it seems to miss the pillow and go off at an angle . The lip balm actually even tastes nice.

I like everything in the box except I wont be using the WOW spray because I have poker straight hair, I will however give it to someone who needs it. I bought 2 boxes, my DM bought one and they've sold out online although I'm sure they'll have a few left in the shops.

I wasn't going to bother buying this time around but I have no willpower and somehow the box made it into my bag when I bought dd's uniform yesterday

What was good when I checked receipts is the extra 10% off I got with my Sparks card so not bad for £13.50!

So far loving the lip gloss - perfect colour for me and dd liked the lip balm.

Can't be bothered with the hair products but love the Ren body wash.

Perfume is perfectly nice but zero longevity.

I don't wear nail varnish but will make a good present for someone so pretty happy all in all!

CointreauVersial I'm really looking forward to the humidity spray as I look like Monica from friends (I think when they were in Bermuda ). If you don't have frizzy hair I can see why you don't get it!

Aaah, think this has finished now. Missed out Never mind I didn't really need any more toiletries anyway!

Can anyone please tell me what the orange tube. Gel moisturiser is for? Face or body. I put it on my face, then thought it didn’t feel right. Also no SPF. So is it body lotion? Sorry I’m clueless.

Well, I have got night cream and the neck firming cream left - 2 DDs have picked over the rest!

Biggest fight was over the grapefruit lip balm followed by the lip colour.

I got mine with my order today - there were none in store and several ladies very disappointed (including me as I was hoping to get another one).

I am very pleased with it. Loads of good things and really good sizes for holidays.

Windy the Origins one? It's for face.

I tried it last night - quite liked the texture but not great for my sensitive skin so will try it on DS to see if it helps with the spots!!

Thank you Butterfly that’s the one. It was a funny texture. Also no SPF. I guessed if it was for body it would have been a bigger size.

Really pleased with most of mine! Love the face creams and the fragrance especially.

The lip colour though really doesn't suit me, if anyone wants it I would be happy to post to you - inbox me!

The fragrance is surprisingly nice, but quite subtle, and doesn't last long.
