Hi All,
Apologies if there is another thread about this, but I couldn't find it. So I thought I would start one.
Happy to get it deleted if there is one already, if not - happy unboxing, let's hear what you think :)

I liked the Vit C powder yesterday. I actually mixed it with the serum from last year and I definitely had a brighter, "glowy" face! Back to my usual haggard self this morning though Grin

Unsure about today's offering. I've applied it and it smells lovely but that's about it.

MabelMoo23 · 15/12/2019 13:28

Yeah I was a bit "meh" about this mornings offering....

LizzieMacQueen · 15/12/2019 14:24

I love the smell of this muscle rub. It might find it's way into my DH's christmas present.

plantingandpotting · 15/12/2019 18:37

@jammydoughnuts I'm a big fan of the powder so would be up for swapping if there's anything else you've loved 😌

Feel free to PM me 😁

BloodyCats · 15/12/2019 20:08

Smells good but I’m addicted to the sting of tiger balm so it’s not quite hitting the spot for me. The smell is lovely though so I will use it as a massage gel.

It’s my birthday today and the calendar was a gift, so I’ve gone ahead and opened everything Grin some lovely gifts to come!
I’ll keep up posting photos for lurkers if it’s wanted Smile

Really happy with the vitamin c powder - I loved the serum last year. Today's will find its way into DH's stocking!

Chickydoo · 16/12/2019 07:41

Not 100% sure what today's is.
Is it eye shadow? It's not highlighter as it is too dark. I have never heard of 'lid lacquer' ..off to google..

queenofkale · 16/12/2019 08:36

Hmmm I'm not sure about today's... unless anyone can convince me I'm happy to swap
If someone wants it.

Does anyone in real life actually ever want wet-look shiny eyelids? I have literally only ever seen these in magazines and even there it looks a bit weird.

LizzieMacQueen · 16/12/2019 09:58

I googled it, it's $36 on their own .com website.

MabelMoo23 · 16/12/2019 10:16

This is one I've been waiting for. Sali Hughes bloody swears by it and she always looks fab wearing it.

£35 in Space NK - I already wear cream eye shadows so really want to try this

TightPants · 16/12/2019 10:18

I’m loving the perfume and the Trish McEvoy lippie if they don’t suit any of you and want to swap for something?

BloodyCats · 16/12/2019 12:11

Love this! Not something I would have bought myself but I’m glad I’ve got it. It’s very subtle.

Does any one have any photos of this on?

Pomegranatepompom · 16/12/2019 20:16

I’m happy to swap the lipstick.

TightPants · 16/12/2019 21:13

@Pomegranatepompom - I’ll PM you

imp2007 · 16/12/2019 21:44

Not sure about today's am keen to try new things I wouldn't have bought but had a little play with it after work and it just seemed to wear off super fast and a friend popped round and told me I looked tired Confused

TightPants · 17/12/2019 00:11

The reviews on line aren’t great either - creases like a bugger and you can’t wear any other eye make up with it from the sound of it.

AesopsMables · 17/12/2019 06:30

Today's is fab! Totally what I hoped for and kinda makes up for yesterday's eyeshadow/gloss which lasted 5mins on my lids before creasing and melting 😐

Chickydoo · 17/12/2019 06:58

LOVE today's REN overnight recovery balm. My skin is so dry & I know it's morning but I've just used a bit & going back to bed for half an hour. It reminds me of the Egyptian magic cream but not as sticky.

imp2007 · 17/12/2019 07:36

This is more like it! Looking forward to trying tonight my skin starting to feel really winter dry. Looks like full size too?

Expo · 17/12/2019 23:18

@Jammydoughnuts what’s wrong with silicone. Genuine question. It is an inert chemical. Sand is silicone.

Expo · 17/12/2019 23:21

Silicone dioxide to be precise. But anyway silicone is inert. Just wondering. Are you allergic?

AesopsMables · 18/12/2019 07:03

Excellent I'm just ready for a new mascara
Bobby Brown too!

imp2007 · 18/12/2019 08:01

Brilliant - works party on Friday this will coming in my handbag!
