I've got the nail varnish and Black Tulip off ebay - having had a nasty accident at an airport with the original items in a plastic bag - both destroyed! Just incase anyone is interested. Xmas Smile

CrazySheepLady · 19/12/2018 14:34

Thanks for the advice, panicovernow and MeetOnTheSledge. Smile

@shopalotalot would love the neck cream and ultimate sleep cream, only swaps I have are ones you're getting rid of so can pay postage or can wait til end of calendar and see if there's anything I don't like that you do.

I do have a benefit they're real unopened sample and and a benefit Porefessional pearl primer mini tube sample thing if you'd like those? I love them but have several full sized ones already.

I'm on app at minute and can't see a way to PM you.

A thick round blushed brush is great so quite happy!

JessicaJonesJacket · 19/12/2018 18:48

I have lots of brushes so wasn't jumping up and down at this morning's but I will use it eventually.
I tried the M&S night cream last night. It felt very greasy. I much prefer the first one. I loved the rose toner. It smells like a Strawberry Shortcake set I had when I was a child! Grin

Skinfulnappies46 · 19/12/2018 19:34

Could I have the REN cream please shopalot?

Skinfulnappies46 · 19/12/2018 19:36

Happy to have the lot and will pay postage and packing.,though not the Elasticer xx

Atalune · 19/12/2018 19:49

doamond or the Elasticizer?

diamondsandrose · 19/12/2018 20:16

Sorry atalune been at work , shower gel is fine!

Why don't we wait until the end as it's only a few days and see if there's anything else we could stick on the packet?

shopalotalot · 19/12/2018 20:24

Happy to send but you need to know me your addresses otherwise I can't post!!!!

PrincessWatermelon · 19/12/2018 20:24

This £47 eye cream is the most Googled beauty product of 2018
mol.im/a/6507185

Not sure if that Daily Fail link will work - but this is our first eye cream isn't it?

shopalotalot · 19/12/2018 20:25

Let me know....sorry! Half watching Home Alone with the kids!!!

ButteryParsnips · 19/12/2018 20:29

Yes it is!

Atalune · 19/12/2018 20:40

diamond good plan. But remember you are paired with me 😜

IJustWantToWearDungarees · 19/12/2018 20:40

Wore the eyeliner last night and it was lovely - went on very well and stayed put.

Like the brush today - good little handbag size.

JessicaJonesJacket · 19/12/2018 22:19

Princess yy I think it is. I was just looking to see how much a full size jar was because it's worked very well on my eyes.

In fact I showed DH a close-up pic of my eyes from this week. And one from a few weeks ago. He noticed I have less wrinkles and fine lines now.

CantChoose · 19/12/2018 23:05

None of the last three items have been things I want but i found the first bit of the calendar really good so not too bothered. I have used the sleep cream with the previous calendars but just don't get the hype, it must just not suit my skin type!
Not sure what I'd like tomorrow, maybe a nice foot cream just for something a bit different.

Stokey · 19/12/2018 23:12

Shopalot i'd happily send you perfume for the moisture boost or night cream. Can chuck in last year's orange one too if you like. I'll PM you.

I think last year's was better for me. I think I'd go for something else next year.

Gotthetshirt23 · 19/12/2018 23:33

If shopalot has already swapped I'm happy to Stokey ?

diamondsandrose · 20/12/2018 00:16

Atalune I am yours alone Xmas Wink

MeetOnTheSIedge · 20/12/2018 07:18

Another hair product this morning, styling this time. I'm not sure whether to bother, I find styling products fall into two camps - they either make my hair look worse than normal or make no difference whatsoever so I gave up on them a long time ago.

ProjectGainsborough · 20/12/2018 07:20

Excited by today’s! Had some living proof stuff before that was good. Has anyone used this one?

panicovernow · 20/12/2018 07:20

Intrigued by today's. Looked at reviews online and they're fairly mixed. Those that like it use a very small amount from mid to ends get best results. Will be giving this a try

FedupNagging · 20/12/2018 07:30

The 2nd time I used the moisture boost my skin reacted so probably won't use again-Stokey, happy to send to you (no chance I'm getting rid of the night cream Grin ) would love last years perfume if the swap doesn't work out.

I wasn't keen on the lip gloss so handed it on to a friend & she loves it. Black eyeliner has gone to dil as black is too harsh for me.

Looking forward to trying out today's hair product. I think this range is silicone free which I'm trying to avoid for my awkward hair!

PrincessWatermelon · 20/12/2018 07:40

Another dud here. I have v specific curly hair and have my products sorted and I don't blow dry. Oh well. Can't win them all.
