I saw the voucher @bellabelly but delivery is about £6 anyway so not sure I will use it!!

Xmas Grin Yes, with the delivery charge, I guess it's not much of an excuse to splurge in the sale! I also think that I have more than enough beauty stuff to last well into 2019...

Pomegranatepompom · 26/12/2018 19:08

I’ve a few things I’d like to swap please.
I won’t use: the eye brightener/ lip smudge thing/ pixie glow/ clear lip gloss/ hair perfume/ deodorant/face mask

I’d like: votary/ candle/ hand cream/ aurelia eye cream.

Was overall pleased with it, only really 4 products I definitely would not use ( listed a few more not too fussed about! )

Pomegranatepompom · 26/12/2018 19:11

Have 2 glow tonics as got one in m&s calendar.
Happy to throw in some extras from M&S: peach lip gloss, beige eyeshadow and some elasticizer !

RoxyL · 26/12/2018 19:36

Really enjoyed the calendar. Wish there was more make up. My favourites are: Votary cream, Dr Sebagh, lip pencil, Omorovicza face moisturiser. I have some swaps:

Trish Mcevoy Eye Lift - tried once
Hair by Sarah Mc knight - unopened in box
Egyptian Magic - one small tester used
Clear Mind Roller Ball by Liberty's
Primer - used once don't have the box and bottle is marked from being in my hand bag. Im sadly allergic to it :(

My nieces nabbed some of the other bits I was going to swap...

Pomegranatepompom · 26/12/2018 19:46

I haven’t opened any of the items.

I really enjoyed the calendar, my 3rd year- best yet imo

ladamanera · 26/12/2018 19:52

My favourite advent calendar of ll time

littlepooch · 26/12/2018 22:14

I absolutely loved the calendar. It really really perked up the year for me and got me through a difficult month!

I have some swaps so will post them tomorrow along with my faves!

starsky22 · 27/12/2018 09:27

@pomegranatepompom I'd like the Trish McEvoy eye brightener please, would swap for the candle and hand cream.

Pomegranatepompom · 27/12/2018 10:53

Ooh lovely starsky. At work today, will pm you later.

imp2007 · 27/12/2018 17:59

Have really enjoyed this calendar overall hugely pleased with the contents! Happy to swop unused REN primer if anyone would like it? Ideally for the dr sebagh serum or a moisturiser but open to suggestions? x

intelligentPutty · 27/12/2018 21:04

Hi all

Swaps if anyone interested.
Egyptian magic
The lipstick - Surratt Baton quantrielle
Davines Oi Milk 50ml
Sam McKnight Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist 50ml
Browbar- from last year

Swaps for most other things in the calendar.

Am definitely putting £20 aside per month to save for next years calendar. This year was such a treat to open each day.

WellTidy · 27/12/2018 21:07

I’ve really warmed to the advent calendar as the 25 days have gone by. I wasn’t sure to begin with!

Swaps I have - aromatherapy associates roller eye thing, deodorant stick, lip pencil in a plum colour (but I did test this one)

What I would like - candle (love love love).

WellTidy · 27/12/2018 21:16

I also have the eve lom lip thing to swap if anyone is interested. DESPerately hoping for a candle, but would be happy with the ren primer or illuminating moisturiser.

intelligentPutty · 27/12/2018 21:39

@RoxyL I'll have the primer from you if there is anything u would like from my list?

intelligentPutty · 27/12/2018 21:41

@imp2007 will swap below for primer off any interest?

Egyptian magic
The lipstick - Surratt Baton quantrielle
Davines Oi Milk 50ml
Sam McKnight Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist 50ml
Browbar- from last year

RoxyL · 28/12/2018 08:02

@intelligentPutty I'd swap Ren Primer for the Surratt Baton quantrielle. I have used the primer once on half my face - had a very bad reaction to it :(

intelligentPutty · 28/12/2018 09:41

Hi @RoxyL that's great. I'll send u a pm.

santababyconvertible · 30/12/2018 11:38

Is anyone interested in the lip pencil and the Le Labo perfume, both unopened ?

OP posts:
HundredMilesAnHour · 30/12/2018 12:10

@santababyconvertible

I might be interested in the Le Labo perfume if I have something to swap that you're looking for. What's on your wishlist?

intelligentPutty · 30/12/2018 17:18

@santababyconvertible also interested in the perfume.
Let me know if it doesn't work out with HundredMiles.

RoxyL · 30/12/2018 19:18

I also have an unopened perfume - forgot about it! Not a perfume lover.

santababyconvertible · 30/12/2018 20:49

@HundredMilesAnHour candle, lip balm, any other bits you have and want to send off??

OP posts:
HundredMilesAnHour · 30/12/2018 21:12

@santababyconvertible

I definitely have the lip balm that you can have but the candle is already used up. I could add the Hourglass mascara too?

(I'm away from home for a few days over the New Year so trying to remember what's left - and that no-one on MN ever wants the lip gloss!!)

santababyconvertible · 31/12/2018 07:25

I regifted the mascara already! Have you got anything else apart from that?
