Am I the only one with one of these? Very pleased with day 1, full size too

Day 2 is guerlain serum/oil. Looks good

Hoorah!
Can we post what we got? I guess we make the rules given there’s only two of us Grin
Loved day one. Perfect colour for me and a fan of the brand.
Day two was a nice idea but but underwhelming on my face. Will use though.

I haven’t tried the guerlain yet as I’m using an Elemis facial oil at the moment but will start it once the Elemis is finished. I also like the lipstick from day one. Today’s smells lovely but I’m not into candles, so will probably re gift it

I’m a bit gutted about today. Took it out and smelt it thought ooh that’s lovely and then promptly dropped it onto the tile floor and it smashed.
Hopefully tomorrow’s is bouncy.

I have the Harrods calendar but have been a bit disappointed so far... today's candle is tiny and doesn't smell of anything?! Also, why don't they do the little cards like liberty explaining what's inside?

KTD27 · 03/12/2019 20:59

I have to say I haven’t been as in love with it as I hoped. There’s time 🤞

KTD27 · 05/12/2019 07:45

Ok so yesterday’s perfume is so my scent! I love it. Funnily enough I did a scent match online with them and this was one of the results that I got. I’m still waiting for my piddly 1ml trial so to get 5ml was great. Assuming we have all got the same one?! It’s £170 odd quid full size!! Shock
Today’s - meh. I’ll use it so fine. Not a big fan of them in general

westr · 05/12/2019 07:52

Yesterday's perfume is nice but so small! About to see what we get today.

Costacoffeeplease · 05/12/2019 10:41

Yes the perfume is really nice, I haven’t tried any penhaligons before

I’ll use today’s but still waiting for a wow

OP posts:
westr · 05/12/2019 11:17

Same. Hopefully all the average products are being used first and we'll start getting some good stuff soon!

Have to say though that so far I wish I'd stuck with Liberty.

Costacoffeeplease · 05/12/2019 13:29

Look fantastic have beaten Harrods easily today, time to up your game Harrods!

KTD27 · 06/12/2019 12:59

Eugh. Today’s was crap. Come on harrods! I had my hopes pinned on you

westr · 06/12/2019 13:26

It really is! So tiny as well

Ponks · 06/12/2019 13:49

What was today's? - I like hearing what's in all the calendars

Costacoffeeplease · 06/12/2019 17:00

It’s a bath/shower oil. Very strong menthol type smell and in a tiny bottle

OP posts:
westr · 07/12/2019 11:49

Today's is a little primer. Really unimpressed so far harrods!

Costacoffeeplease · 07/12/2019 16:33

It is disappointing isn’t it? Back to liberty next year I think.

OP posts:
westr · 08/12/2019 11:18

More miniatures, sigh. At least there's 2 of them.

Costacoffeeplease · 08/12/2019 13:09

Yes small sizes but I used them this morning and you only need a tiny amount of each so there’s a few days worth

OP posts:
KTD27 · 09/12/2019 20:34

So a lightening powder today which specifies it should be put on with the specific brush. Which we do not get. Confused

Costacoffeeplease · 09/12/2019 22:28

Yes I double checked the drawer in case there was a little brush tucked away 🙄

OP posts:
Housewife2010 · 10/12/2019 05:33

You don't need a specific brush for the Hourglass powders. I have several and you can use any powder brush.

westr · 10/12/2019 08:13

I was pleased with yesterday's hourglass powder (at last, a non-miniature size) and today's looks promising too. Not heard of the brand.

Costacoffeeplease · 10/12/2019 09:33

Today’s is the first wow, good size and an expensive brand, although I haven’t used it before, it will be interesting to see if it’s worth the rrp

Hello, also have this calendar, only just spotted the thread.

The two miniatures that came as a pair a couple of days ago have left me with really blocked pores and spotty skin. The royal jelly stuff and the eye patches seemed a bit pointless.

Quite liked the bath oil and the perfume (though more as a pick-me-up mid afternoon, than something to wear properly, if that makes sense). Agree that the lipgloss and today’s silk cream are the best so far. Probably wouldn’t buy either though.
