Anyone up for an opening thread?

Day 15- Lixiraskin Electrogel Cleanser

Probably one for me to use when I come back from London!

I’ve just been given this for my birthday, very excited! Love everything so far, can’t wait to try them out.

Great to have you here @Sausagefingers9 !

This looks interesting, but the "science" made me laugh:

"Based on the knowledge that things that are bad for your skin generally have a positively electric charge, this formula includes negatively charged electrogel, which attracts, captures and eliminates toxins for an unbeatably deep cleanse."

Happy with today's - I'm intrigued!

Is it a once a week type deep cleanse do we think?

I'm disappointed as I think the pixi glow is making me break out on my chin. Every time I try it, it does this! Everyone else raves about it!! Such a shame it just doesn't seem to suit me

Following but not contributing but does anyone else think the Votary cream smells rather unpleasant?

Yes, cardoon! It's doing wonders for my skin (I'm using it as a night cream) but I don't like the scent at all.

Getting lots of compliments on my skin from all the new products, though am finding it a bit hard to work out a) which ones are making the difference or b) whether it's just the regular application of any kind of products (I'm a bit hit and miss ordinarily).

Loving the calendar. Am enjoying all the products except the deodorant which left me a bit 'meh'. Faves are the eye brightener and the hair texture one. Feeling sad there are only 10 doors left....

Shall we have a round up of swaps at the end ?

Yes to swaps - I will have a few unopened ones and the wretched pixi glow to swap !

Yes! @cardoon
I posted about it being pongy up thread but nobody else felt the same. It's a bit health food shop meets day old porridge
Although the smell isn't as pungent now I've held my breath and used it a few times. I wouldn't buy it myself though, but I do love votary oil, that smells divine!

My votary cream doesn’t smell of anything

Mine smells of shit - literally

But to be fair it does wear off after a wee while

I quite like the smell

I’ve had a poke around online about today’s cleanser and people mostly seem to recommend it as a second cleanse, apparently it’s not great at removing make up. I’ll try it tonight and see what I think. Do love the packaging!

Interesting that the votary cream stinks for some people, it’s completely odourless for me and I normally have a very strong sense of smell!

Love the Votary cream def one of my faves so far - don't mind the smell!!!

I'm a bit behind, but was very happy to see the Dr Sebagh serum. Knew it was in there and loved it last year so was waiting for it to come along. I use it at night before a facial oil - seems to help my skin absorb the oil.

Today's cleanser looks nice, will try it tonight though I am laughing at the card too!

My numbering is definitely screwed up... my no.13 box contained the card and product for no.18 (wasn't my eyesight after all). But I have no box numbered 18 and 2 no. 25s, as I mentioned before!

No. 25 is usually a good’un, so maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if you got two of the same tabby! Having said that, my no. 25 from last year is still unopened

I think my 25s are different as I had a sneaky feel inside chloechloe! Can't remember now whether last year's 25 was the candle or the perfume - I love the perfume and used it a lot, like the candle too but it seems too nice to burn!

So one of my 25s, which I will open instead of the missing 18, must contain the item that everyone else got in no.13! It's making my brain hurt

Day 16- Hourglass mascara

tabby the candle was in 25 last year. I loved the perfume too!

I’m pleased with the mascara today as im a fan of Hourglass - they have really lovely products. I just went out and brought a new Benefit mascara this week though - I should have known to hold out for the calendar instead! I desperately need to reduce my beauty stash as it is immense

Happy with today's!!! Been looking forward to trying this

Tried the mascara this morning and liked it, I was after some more make up bits in the calendar so am happy with this.

chloe and tabby - another fan of the perfume from previous years here, thought it was odd at first smell but now love it. I hope you end up with everything you’re supposed to tabby!

I'm disappointed with the mascara today. Haven't tried it but it says 'easily removed with water' so I'm not sure it's really suitable for the current UK climate. I always wear waterproof mascara so I don't think I'll be using this one.

I wanted to try out the hourglass mascara, so pleased with todays. I used it this morning and love the mascara, but found it difficult to apply as the wand is so short. I think for the price of the calendar they could have put in a full sized mascara to be honest!
