Debenham's Advent Calendar

[whyamidoingthis]

Lots of people seem to have the Debenham's calendar. Just starting a thread so we can discuss.

I can't wait

Yes, anti-dandruff. Now that you mention it, I don't have dandruff or dry scalp, but I once used my husband's head&shoulders shampoo, and it gave me dandruff
I hope this one doesn't do the same. It's a pity that they don't make the products for 'all hair types' ...

What one is it from Debenhams it seems I have the basic one

but I once used my husband's head&shoulders shampoo, and it gave me dandruff

Oh dear. Dd is coming home for a few days this week. Maybe I'll get her to try it first (dh doesn't have enough hair and ds who still lives at home is a total fusspot). I'm sure dandruff is a great look for a first year uni student......

@MoonlightMistletoe - It's this one

@whyamidoingthis oh damn that looks lovely! I have got the Debenhams own make one and it's just full of glitter

@MoonlightMistletoe - that's disappointing.

I must say, I'm really enjoying this one (sorry - not trying to rub it in). I also have the glossybox one and the debenham's one is way better and cheaper. It was €50 (half price) if you bought another beauty product so I bought a €3 eye pencil.

Well worth keeping an eye out for next year.

about your dd & DS!

It was actually only €45 on the day it was released. I think it was around Halloween? It was €90, and half price if you bought another item.
Try and remember that for next year

It was actually only €45 on the day it was released.

Really? So I was done then. I think I paid €50. Ah well, it's great value regardless. I'm really enjoying it.

Exactly. It really is fantastic value.

And you got a €5 gift card in it, so that makes it €45

Of course! I'd forgotten about the gift card.

Well today's shampoo made my hair feel like straw!

I'm definitely testing on dd first then.

The shampoo worked really well for me today. My hair is very thin, fine and fluffy after washing and today I looked like I’d just been to the hairdresser.

Ok. We have a 50/50 rating on the shampoo. Anyone else used it yet before I try it on my dd?

Not yet, I've only just started using a shampoo called 'Colour WOW' that I got in a LookFantastic Easter egg (it's amazing, btw) I don't like mixing shampoos, I think that irritates the scalp.

But it's interesting to see the different results and opinions.

I didn't have time to look at the eyeshadow this morning. I think it came without a brush?

If so, I'm putting it into my dd's stocking

The little things that bother us 😂

An eyeshadow palette today. Nice nude colours. But I have loads of those colours so I'm not terribly excited. One for dd I think.

@whyamidoingthis Snap!

I am not keen on the eyeshadows so if anyone would like it for their DD or themselves, I’d be happy to post it to you.

The pigment is good but they are too warm for me. Still it's another brand I don't know and the quality is good

I tried the shampoo and I liked it, I use a lot of conditioner and didn’t notice dryness...

So we're now 2:1 in favour of the shampoo. One more positive one and I'll try it myself without using dd as a guinea pig.

Today is definitely a wtf one. A very, very mini nail top coat. It looks really mangey. Ah well, it's the only one so far that I have been really disappointed with.

Yes, today's has been the most disappointing one!

My dd isn't even interested in taking it. I obviously need to find a small child and donate it to them along with a tub of glitter for decent, sparkly nails.

Now, who do I hate enough to do that to......
