Look Fantastic Advent Calendar 2019 Daily Thread

[happytobemrsg]

Anyone up for a daily thread??? This is my first beauty advent calendar & I’m super excited. DH is refusing to believe it’s an actual advent calendar since there’s no chocolate inside there’s no pleasing some people

[Sammi38]

I missed Lees post. I see it’s the marine cream, this is the reason I bought the calendar as I was just going to buy it on it’s own from qvc. I’ve used pcmc for ages, it really does make a difference, in my opinion.

[LEELULUMPKIN]

How much was it on QVC Sammi?

[Sammi38]

Think it was about £50 for 30 mls, so same size as the one in the calendar. They do sometimes do deals on qvc on Elemis sets that sometimes include the cream, but I only use the marine cream and the super serum (which is never in any sets), so I’d end up spending more on a deal and not use most of the items.

[LEELULUMPKIN]

£50! Gordon Bennett!

[InfiniteSheldon]

Loving the little cards and my hair was great on day two of the styling product I normally have to do it every day so I might be actually buying that

[Sammi38]

50 mls is £87 on the Elemis Website. So it’s definitely a good value offering today.

[Sammi38]

That photo is of the one with the spf in, but the one without is also £87.

[LEELULUMPKIN]

Yes, I googled that myself and saw £87 for 50ml. For this kind of cheese I am expecting serious results! :)

[Sammi38]

It is actually really good, I do find that I have to be careful with foundation though, as it can cause some pilling.

[LEELULUMPKIN]

Thanks for that tip. I am very lucky to have inherited good skin so tend not to use foundation, just a bit of concealer if I get a problem area, but I will watch out for that if I ever go "full face!"

[Talisin]

Looking forward to putting some of this on, post bath, given all the good reports!

[problembottom]

Lovely shiny big pot yes please. Very happy with today’s.

[Costacoffeeplease]

This is a winner for me too, I use it a lot but usually only when there’s a tsv on qvc as I like the cleansing balm too

[KeithPartridge]

Fantastic day today! Like other posters the marine cream was one of the reasons I bought the calendar.

[happytobemrsg]

Very happy with today!! I’m running out of my usual cream (Clinique moisture surge) & I’m excited to give this a go! About to wash my hair so will brave the hair thing too

[chloechloe]

I’m super happy with this today, it’s one of my holy grail products.

Has anybody got one with SPF? Mine is without, but the card has SPF on. I’m wondering if they’ve used two different products to fill the calendars?

I used the toner this morning. I loved the smell but found it quite drying on my skin, might have to stick to just using it at night.

I hope there’s an exfoliator coming up soon as I need a new one!

[happytobemrsg]

Just used the Living Proof hair styler. Smelt gorgeous & my hair has dried nice & smooth. I think it may have dried quicker too

[problembottom]

Am I the only one who didn’t look what was in the calendar? Literally no clue! I’m a sucker for a surprise.

[problembottom]

Ooo your hair looks lovely

[happytobemrsg]

Ah thanks @problembottom! I didn’t look at the contents beforehand either - I love a surprise

[happytobemrsg]

But I can see why people would check. £80 is a lot of money to spend of stuff you won’t use

[Talisin]

I look when they first release the details and make a mental note of which calendars to consider - by the time it’s actually time to open them, I’ve generally completely forgotten.

[TattiePants]

For anyone who likes today's moisturiser, Tatler magazine has a 15ml ProMarine Cream as a free gift this month. I don't read the magazine but £4.75 for 15mls is a bargain.

[Talisin]

Well today’s arrives at just the right time as my current one is about to run out. It even looks the right colour for me!

[Bumbl]

Yes im excited to try today's. Im going away for the weekend so may open the 7th and 8th today to take with me!
