Glossybox advent calendar 2018

[JennyHolzersGhost]

Anyone else with the Glossybox calendar and want to discuss what you’ve got each day ?

Day 1 - not a shade I would have chosen (I got the pink-red called Burning Love) but it actually looks really good on. I like the texture, gloss enough to be able to put a light layer on if you don’t want to go the whole hog.
All in all, v pleased with that for day 1.

Anyone else ?!

Liked today's mascara! Seems like a good mascara for day to day wear as opposed to a night out etc

Really pleased with the mascara. Have used it today and it has worn well.
Happy it’s a full sized product to.

Renarde how much was it in the sale if you don’t mind me asking?

Lip primer today ! Probably more useful for someone who wears a strong lip regularly - I’m a novice in that world. But I like the smell !

Ive never actually a lip primer before, i tend to use a lipbalm and then pop on a lipstick/gloss. I did try it today, it did matte my lipstick and lasted a good few hours. I couldnt stand how dry my lips felt so went back to my lipbalm. Ill use it to again, but i wouldnt buy one when i run out!

Lip primer not really for me , don’t often wear lipstick and find if I wear it it dries my lips out.

@slownorris it went down to £65 on Black Friday and if you added the Karl Lagerfeld box you could get both for £65.01. It was the 1p “extra” box that made it feel like a steal I think, these companies know what they’re doing

Haven’t opened the lip primer, I prefer lip tints or balms to lipstick so probably not for me, another for the “pass on” pile

Renarde that was definitely a steal and I’ll be following in your footsteps next year!

Don't regularly wear lip products so not the product for me today!

Today's smells lovely but don't know much about the brand? Nice but a bit of a filler maybe?

I think my nose is broken! I usually love sweet smells, but this is too sweet for me. Shall use up though. I have heard of this brand, last year Superdrug gave free gift sets of this brand out with orders.

Not a fan of sweet scents or baking themed stuff but this will get used when I’m travelling in the next few weeks.

Hmm bit of a filler product this one, not too keen on the smell but will probably use it up in a few washes anyway

Today's shower cream smells nice, not a wow product though!

Ohh im very happy with this! I can throw my beauty blender away now!

Ooh love a good RT brush

Not really got a use for this so it will go on the swaps pile !

Lelly Thats interesting to see actually!

Not excited about todays, i dont use hair products that often, ill give it ago. But just to use it up!

Thanks Lelly that’s really interesting ! I got mine in the sale for £60 so by my reckoning that means I’ve paid £2.50 per day. Most days have been worth more than that to me, so I reckon it’s good value so far.

I don’t usually use hair products other than a bit of leave in conditioner sometimes so am quite interested to learn to use today’s. And I could do with some extra volume.

Think I might put today's on the swaps pile, I already have a v strict hair routine

Loved the brush yesterday.
I like Charles Worthington products so will give it a try.
I think it’s definately worth the money when you look at the value of the products.

Ohh i love skincare! I think this is in another advent i have, happy to have two if thats the case. Never tried anything BareMinerals. So far so good
