Anyone else got this? I’m very impressed with day one. A big bottle of something that I’ve had mini versions of in another calendar!

Do tell! This was one I debated on as I had already bought others then I wish I had got it when it sold out. I shall live through the rest of you!

OK! It’s a big bottle of Alpha-H Liquid Gold, which they sell on the site for £33.50. I’ve had the little bottles before from M&S. A very solid start.

That is a fantastic start! :) :)

That's brilliant stuff I got some in duty free this summer and it seriously works. Really wish I'd managed to get that calander

Given that I got it for £160 (gulp), that’s a big chunk of that back already!

I will also be reading this one each day! I couldn't afford it this year but will definitely try to save up for it next year if it's any good.

DoctorMarten · 01/12/2019 15:18

Ooh, I have never used this stuff So happy to hear that it’s good! Will report back once I’ve used it. So happy to have got this calendar!!

Really wanted this one but it sold out so quickly I’ll have to be content with following this thread and hoping they do one next year

Today is a highlighter and bronzer duo from a brand I’m not familiar with. I am not someone who has worked out highlighting so this is less exciting for me!

Sounds like I’d love that. Haha. Wish I’d got this calendar. Sorry you don’t like it though x

I don’t dislike it but I’ll probably just use the bronzer bit. It’s this: www.cultbeauty.co.uk/natasha-denona-mini-bronze-and-glow-.html

Love the two products so far. Absolutely delighted to get the Alpha H Liquid and the make up feels so luxurious. I also just LOVE the actual calendar box itself. It is so cute.

DoctorMarten · 03/12/2019 00:17

The box really is gorgeous. Going to keep it and fill it next year for DC. Am pleased with today’s product as my highlighter just broke. Never used this brand so have high hopes.

I like today’s. Again, not a brand I know, but I’ve used it and it went on well.

Eye cream from Dr Barbara Sturm.

OK, I have a lip moisturiser. I will look up the brand later. It is applied with a crystal roller and promises the world. Sadly it did absolutely nothing at all.

It’s this. Oh my word, it costs a fortune. I will persevere as I want it to do all the things it promises!

Wow I had no idea it cost so much money!!! Will have to try this ASAP!

Today is a Ouai Leave-in conditioner. No knowledge of the brand at all but I will give it a go next time I wash my hair. Quite like leave-ins if they defrizz well.

I quite like Ouai. Next year I’m going to have my eye on Cult Beauty calendar!

LizandFlo · 06/12/2019 20:07

I really like lots of Ouai products. It’s owned by Jen Atkin who is/was the hair stylist for Kim K, Chrissy Tiegan, Kendal Jenner, the Hadids etc which would normally turn me off, but I’ve really like the shampoo which sls free, repair conditioner, the soft mousse and hairspray.

Today’s product is exfoiliant which I am really pleased with. Paula’s Choice is the brand.

Today’s has made me laugh. It’s Roques O’Neil’s Therapie Aromatherapy brand Protect Bath and Body Oil.

It claims to be immune boosting to combat colds and flu, which I can’t really imagine to be true. But it looks like it may be a nice inhalation if congested. It ‘provides natural support to your body’s immune system when you feel weak or need inner fortification’. DH asked whether it can be drunk.

Tried the watermelon glow and am very impressed! My skin looks great.
