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

I like today's - have used it before (it was in the liberty calendar a couple of years ago).

Costacoffeeplease · 11/12/2019 09:46

Yes quite pleased with today’s

Can you say what you’ve had so far for those of us following?

westr · 11/12/2019 10:10

Sure. Today's was a travel size Laura mercies eye pencil in amethyst. I'm wearing it now actually...

KTD27 · 11/12/2019 19:17

Yes like today’s a lot! I used my liberty one out it’s a fab colour

LucyLocketss · 11/12/2019 19:58

I didn't go for Harrods this year as it just looked such poor value. They discounted them to £125 yesterday and that didn't tempt me either

Writersblock2 · 11/12/2019 21:17

Ooo pencil sounds nice. I’ve not been tempted enough to go for the half-price either, unfortunately.

Costacoffeeplease · 12/12/2019 08:56

Sturm sun drops today, haven’t heard of them but according to google about 50$ worth in the box

I don't think the calendar was discounted yesterday- it's been sold out for ages.

westr · 12/12/2019 09:08

Don't really understand today's but meant to be v good

Costacoffeeplease · 12/12/2019 09:17

It’s a factor 50 sunscreen, goes on top of moisturiser

@westr it was discounted to £125 for 48 hours. It hasn't been sold out at all, at £250 they couldn't shift it - it finally went when they slashed it in half. I had it in my bag and dithered over it but decided against it as it's not value for money.

Liberty is better but that took ages to sell out as well - probably due to doubling stocks, price and competition

westr · 12/12/2019 16:13

Yes I won't get it again, so far only one full size.

LucyLocketss · 12/12/2019 19:23

It's a shame as I either go Harrods or Liberty and I just couldn't see the value in Harrods this year. I think they'll do better next year

westr · 13/12/2019 14:33

Another miniature size today (5mil) although this is something I had wanted to try (omorovicza blue diamond serum). I don't think there are any full sizes in this calendar.

cozycat1 · 13/12/2019 14:38

Its still available on Harrods website for £125.

westr · 13/12/2019 15:09

Argh!

westr · 13/12/2019 15:10

That's so annoying and I just had a look and all the contents are miniatures.

Costacoffeeplease · 14/12/2019 10:00

Today’s looks very interesting, don’t know the brand but it looks expensive. Looking forward to a ‘transformation’ 😊

OP posts:
StargazyDrifter · 14/12/2019 18:47

I cheated and used today’s last night - for me, there definitely was a difference. Wouldn’t call it a transformation in my case, but that would take a miracle!

KTD27 · 15/12/2019 08:58

I’ve been using the moisturiser we got a few days ago and I’m in love. It has made a huge difference to my frankly knackered and dehydrated skin. Plus it smells amazing

Costacoffeeplease · 15/12/2019 10:09

Which one was that?

OP posts:
westr · 15/12/2019 10:27

I've lost interest in this calendar now, couldn't even tell what today's was as it was so small. But good to read the positive feedback above - haven't tried any of the recent ones yet.

KTD27 · 15/12/2019 11:48

@Costacoffeeplease I think it’s the sensai ultra silk one

Costacoffeeplease · 15/12/2019 11:55

Ooh, I haven’t started that one yet. I’ll make it next in line when I’ve finished what I’m using at the moment
