Mine has arrived! Not opening until December (obviously! Wink) but thought I’d get a thread started.

Details:
25 days, priced at £35. Listing states products worth £146 plus a chance to win a luxury spa break.
I used some of my H&B points towards this, and also went through Quidco. Shipping is free.
Link below, but to warn, the contents are listed on the sales page so you may want to be careful if you don’t want to know in advance.

Who else has one? Let’s use this thread to discuss the contents as we hit December. :)

I'm also not a fan of manual exfoliants but I use it as a hand/foot/body scrub instead.

Richlyfruited · 06/12/2019 09:03

This is great - I really like Sukin skincare so will definitely use this.

I've also opened tomorrow's as away this weekend. Very nice too Wink

Used this this morning with the micellar water and then the vit c serum, face feels so clean and fresh, no irritation whatsoever.

Coupon great too!

LOVE LOVE LOVING the H&B calendar so far. Way in front of the others.

Writersblock2 · 06/12/2019 12:50

@LEELULUMPKIN I reckon H&B should give us some free stuff since we are singing their praises way above the others. Haha.

Totally agree writers! Head honcho's at H&B please PM Writers and I with the stash!

Lol it was down to you Writer that I think a lot of us bought this calendar. They should definitely have you on the payroll.

Ponks · 07/12/2019 07:57

A "Festive Blend" essential oil today, smells nice so I'll try it in my next bath I think.
Enjoying this calendar so far, for the money I think it seems really good value. I did look at the contents before buying but only briefly and cAnt remember what's coming up so each day is a nice surprise.

Loving the oil! I will use this in the bath too. And my oil burner. Happy days!

Face mask today! Very pleased with it, I love face masks and I have never tried this one! Plus another voucher too!
Such a great range of products!

Ponks · 08/12/2019 09:01

Interesting - seahorse plankton face mask, I never buy this sort of thing so this will be great to try.

Today’s looks very interesting so I’m looking forward to trying. Bit small but that’s okay - everything else has been big, if not full size.

Richlyfruited · 08/12/2019 16:41

I rarely buy a face mask either so be good to try this one.

I'm currently burning the essential oil from yesterday and it smells lovely! Again, not a product I'd usually buy so feels like a real treat Xmas Smile

Writersblock2 · 08/12/2019 20:57

So I’m having a H&B session tonight - I’m in the bath with some of the essential oils and it smells amazing! I’ve only recently started using oils in my bath instead of bubble baths and I absolutely love how they can change my mood and relax me. So this is right up my street. I also have the plankton face mask thingy on at the moment (VERY thin layer) and I will be using the scrub when I am done.

Will report back!

I Probably don’t look any different but my face feels lovely to the touch

Writersblock2 · 08/12/2019 21:21

I’m now “tingling” in the bath, which is...interesting. Hoping I’m not having a reaction to the oils!

The toner looks nice. Just at the end of the one I am currently using so good timing!

OP posts:
Ponks · 09/12/2019 07:42

The calendar is still going strong- a spray Trilogy hydrating mist toner.
I've been using the serum and weleda skin cream after swimming in the evening and they leave my skin feeling lovely.

This calender looks amazing.

Keepsmiling1 · 09/12/2019 20:18

This calendar does look amazing! I will definitely try to get it next year - I bet it will sell out very quickly though!

QOD · 09/12/2019 20:33

I’m absolutely getting it again next year for dd and I

I have the Molton Brown one too

Richlyfruited · 09/12/2019 21:27

This morning's toner smells gorgeous! My face feels really nice after using the mask last night. Only a very small amount needed so I think the little pot will last a while!

Writersblock2 · 10/12/2019 07:30

I’m loving the smell of the lavender eye mask this morning. I’ll give it a whirl tonight. Need every bit of help I can get sleeping!

OP posts:
Ponks · 10/12/2019 07:48

Not sure about this one but will have a go, I don't sleep very well so worth a try!
