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

I’m quite excited by this. I’ve been using flannels but I’ve kept meaning on buying one of these.

[Richlyfruited]

Very useful one today! Feels good quality too

[Crazybunnylady123]

It’s not very exciting but useful to me anyway. Wondering whether we are going to get another big one. Only five doors left!

[Ponks]

Weleda lip balm, feels lovely on the lips so another good one today

[Jumpi]

Is that the second balm?

[NotStayingIn]

I love Weleda, happy with that. Is there a difference between using a flannel and a Muslim cloth? Is one better for your skin or is it pretty much the same?

[Richlyfruited]

Another lip balm but it's excellent! Tried it out this morning.

I went and bought more of the Dr Organic Manuka Honey range for me and as presents yesterday - love it!

I always use a muslin cloth as have very sensitive skin and find that flannels aggrevate my rosacea.

I'm delighted with my H&B advent calendar, it's the first time I've treated myself to one. I'm using the Weleda Skin Food Light that we got earlier a lot - it's excellent, so I think today's lip balm will be equally as good. Another favourite so far has been the Festive Blend Essential Oil. My house has smelt so christmassy.

[NotStayingIn]

Thanks Richlyfruited will start using the muslin cloth. I love the service blend too, it smells lovely!

[Ponks]

Ambience CBD body oil "a stimulating massage oil that will refresh and revive" today. Looking forward to trying this.

Incidentally am enjoying using the Push Up Buttock cream, smells lovely!

[Writersblock2]

Yay! Never tried any CBD so I’m looking forward to this!

[Crazybunnylady123]

Never even heard of this one from today. Looks alright though.

[Ponks]

Mineral shampoo and hair serum today.

As an aside, I used the manuka honey cream on my face last night and my skin looks great this morning!

[Richlyfruited]

It's good stuff today and perfect for taking away on holiday.

The Manuka face cream is great isn't it ponks

[moretea]

I'm pleased with today's. Although it's sachets there's 25ml in each so will be able to use a few times. It describes the serum more of a conditioning treatment, just what I need.

[Writersblock2]

I’m not so keen on sachets but I love the product range.

[Crazybunnylady123]

Yeh, I agree not so keen on the sachets. Plus they have free written in them.
I will use it though so I guess I can’t complain.

[Writersblock2]

I like the look of the exfoliator. Happy to try this. Hoping for something spectacular to finish tomorrow!

I’ll be sad when we are done. You lot have been a blast!

[Crazybunnylady123]

Looks interesting today. Let’s hope tomorrow’s is amazing!
So overall my favourite is the honey cream. Weirdly also the deodorant because it works really well for me. I usually use bionsen but I’m changing to the one in the calendar.

[Richlyfruited]

Delighted with today's as this is exactly what I needed. I've also opened tomorrow's as it will be a really hectic day and I can confirm that it's a good un

I'm sad it's over but have most things still to use which will keep me going through Jan! Have also gifted some items which has been great too. Will definitely buy again next year

Happy Christmas all

[LEELULUMPKIN]

I am also well chuffed with today's and something I desperately needed too!

Unless my other calendar's contain a winning lottery ticket in tomorrows H&B have won hands down for me this year.

[Jumpi]

Merry Christmas all.

Can anyone confirm if their item from today has a seal on it?

[Jumpi]

Mine looks like it’s been opened and isn’t full

[moretea]

Merry Christmas! I wasn't sure about the smell of todays facial oil at first, rose isn't really my thing, but I've tried it and it was really good on my skin. As a PP asked, no mine wasn't sealed either so probably not intended to be. It was filled to just above the top edge of the label. I really like the glass bottle and dropper too.
I found yesterday's powder scrub difficult to use, so I don't think I'd buy that again, nice packaging though.

[Crazybunnylady123]

See you guys next year! Kind of wish I had a calendar for January now!
