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 :)

This isn't at all what I'd normally choose and at the moment it smells a bit too floral for me.

However, the whole joy of this is to try things I'd never pick for myself.

Quite pleased with today's smell still lingering after a small squirt this morning. Not getting much other than roses though - not sure I would pay full price

bellabelly · 03/12/2019 18:33

I actually really like the perfume now, hours after putting it on. I was thinking of regifting it but I shall keep it.

HappyInL0nd0n · 03/12/2019 19:56

Thanks StarShapedWindow and BloodyCats - appreciate the empathy. Had a full night's sleep yesterday and felt completely invincible today. Woot!

Love this perfume too. Right up my street. I hate sticking to one scent so am happy with a small bottle. Great to have new brands too.

I'm hoping for a good night cream. I really liked the Egyptian magic one from last year, though I know that provoked a really mixed reaction.

GinandGingerBeer · 03/12/2019 20:47

I've finally decided yesterday's facial oil smells of.........took me a while to pin it down........
Manure!!!Grin
But in a strange kinda good, earthy way.
I was so sleep deprived this morning I've only just opened today's offering and it's a bit late to test now so will save for tomorrow.

AesopsMables · 04/12/2019 06:04

Disappointed with today's offering
Never tried it but have not ever liked anything from this brand (no spoilers before 7am right?)
So far I have liked 2out of 4

BloodyCats · 04/12/2019 07:00

I loved the Egyptian magic too, I only have a tiny bit left. Really liking the oil and perfume fro the last couple of days.
Not a huge fan of this brand, I associate them with acne and teenagers. I’m surprised Liberty include it tbh.
Anyway I’m willing to give it a go, just glad it’s not the boring cleansing gel!

I don’t like the cleansing gel at all, so at least it’s something different to try.
Did you use the Egyptian cream on your face? I found it too oily and was concerned re breakouts.

BloodyCats · 04/12/2019 07:24

I use it everywhere. Didn’t use it much over the summer but it really comes in to itself this time of year, holding off buying another pot in case it appears in the calendar again.

Chickydoo · 04/12/2019 07:39

Love the eye cream, have just used it
Feels good. Happy with this one.
I liked the Egyptian magic last year too. Still have a bit left. It is great at this time of year.

LizzieMacQueen · 04/12/2019 08:01

Happy with this. For those interested in value, it's a full size and RRP £40.

Wonder if it works on eye bags. Happily I have few wrinkles but the bags are a problem.

Yesterday's perfume is still lingering on my dressing gown. It's really growing on me.

LEELULUMPKIN · 04/12/2019 09:15

Happy with this too. It's a new product for me as I would never pay £40 for an eye cream on the off chance it really DOES work.

So I am excited to try this and like Aesopsmables it is 2 out of 4 for me too!

I'm v.happy with my current eye products, so might regift this one without opening (although it's a bit of a loaded gift, an eye wrinkle cream...).

Those who loved the Egyptian magic cream, what did you use it for? I still have nearly the whole thing left and have never taken to it. Maybe I'm using it wrong.

PinkysEars · 04/12/2019 11:50

I'm interested in today's as I don't currently use a separate eye cream. Didn't like the cleansing gel from Dermalogica last year, but hoping I get on with this better.

Trying yesterday's perfume again today. I thought it developed into a very strong smell of roses (which I'm not mad about unless it's actually a rose), but my DH said it was a far more complex smell to him, to I'm having another whirl with it.

Sammi38 · 04/12/2019 12:12

Not sure if I’m too keen on day 1s shampoo, I found it really hard to lather without quite a bit of water, although it smells lovely.

LEELULUMPKIN · 04/12/2019 12:35

I am LOVING the shampoo from day one. I washed Ds's 14 hair with it on Sunday and it helped with greasiness no end. It's still shiny and smells lovely.

I use the Egyptian magic literally everywhere, but I am a big fan of oil products.
I’ve used it as a hand salve at night, on my elbows, face mask, on my legs after shaving, it makes a nice hair mask if you have thick hair. TMI but I’ve used it on my vulva too, although obviously very careful about getting it out the pot with that use. I just find the ingredients very simple and pure there aren’t many places you couldn’t use it.

plantingandpotting · 04/12/2019 14:04

@bloodycats No such thing as TMI with MN!

Funnily enough, the one use I did find for it was perineal massage prior to DDs birth (ended up with an EMCS anyway...).

The Egyptian magic cream folk need to add this use to their packaging 😂

BloodyCats · 04/12/2019 14:40

plantingandpotting · 04/12/2019 15:20

Bravo 😄👏

MabelMoo23 · 04/12/2019 19:57

I'm not a fan at all of the Aveda. It's nowhere near as moisturising enough for me

BloodyCats · 05/12/2019 07:16

Love this! Looking forward to trying it later

This is a great one for me! Need a setting powder and perfect for handbag 👍🏽

Chickydoo · 05/12/2019 07:21

I am not sure about this mornings offering. The card is not the same as the item.
I won't say what I have as I suspect drawers have been mixed up.
The day 5 card says Hourglass setting powder. That is not what I have.

Chickydoo · 05/12/2019 07:22

I will look forward to the setting powder when I find it.
My item is ok... a bit odd
