Thread for discussion!

So, who has ordered one? With the pre-order £5 off and Quidco cash back it worked out nicely.

Today is 150ml of Wonder Oil from Dr Organic. Think this is a full size. It’s a body oil. Looks nice!

Thank you Writers. I got the same, including lipstick colour but writing was too small..

Today is Paula’s Choice BHA liquid. Perfect size for travels! I use this anyway so delighted to have it. :)

When would I use a BHA liquid? Again my eye sight is ropey, sorry!

I use it in the morning after cleanse/tone but before serums and moisturiser. It’s a chemical exfoliant. I think the rule of thumb is BHA in morning and AHA at night.

Hold up, is it a vitamin c serum and not Paula’s Choice? Think I may have my calendars confused!

I love this perfume

OneEpisode · 14/12/2019 08:49

But that perfume was so tiny!
Today’s is a hair perfume, in a big, very retro cut glass and gilt bottle. It smells very retro too.

Love the perfume from yesterday. It’s unique and quirky.

Today’s is gorgeous too. Nice big hair perfume.

So day 15 I opened my window and it was empty, but I think I found it shaken Lowe down the box. Hydrating facial sheet mask.

Not that exciting today. Avon isn’t luxe, and it’s yet another black eyeliner. At least I’ll use it, I guess.

Today’s is good but only 10ml. I keep going hot and cold with this calendar.

Really surprised more people didn’t buy this. I’m generally very pleased with it.
Today’s is Charles Worthington volume and bounce blow dry spray 150ml
Very generous size!

I opened it early and really liked it. The sizes were very good and I thought the variety was brilliant. Every year I'm so impressed by the LiB calendar.

Jumpi · 19/12/2019 15:39

It sounds like a really varied calendar. I’ve had the m&s one for 2 years and missed out this year but to be honest I’m kind of glad as it’s just the same thing every year.

Might try this one next year.
