Cult Beauty advent calendar 2019

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!

I'm going to use the oil in a footpath. I'll try anything to shake this cold I've had for the last month.

This morning is a night serum from Drunk Elephant. Lovely packaging.

The Cult Beauty calendar sounds so good!

ThatSeventiesLass · 09/12/2019 11:25

It is definitely my favourite out of the ones I have. No duds at all.

Writersblock2 · 09/12/2019 14:33

Will be trying for this one next year!

Doubleraspberry · 10/12/2019 08:01

OK, properly excited this morning. Product looks amazing and it’s £65. Pretty sure it’s this one as I opened it at 6.30am in low light. I hope I won’t be back later to correct myself.

It was indeed the AB cream, the Rich Cream. I used it this morning and it does feel glorious. Just waiting for it to kick in and make me ten years’ younger.

This morning I am less impressed - a hair serum which claims to mend split ends, which I don’t think is actually possible.
But as I was washing my hair I thought I’d give it a shot and see how it felt. I couldn’t get anything out of it! It’s pump action, and I can see cream inside it, but the pump isn’t picking any up. I’ll try again when I’ve got more time.

Doubleraspberry I would love it, if you ( after Xmas) you gave a long term review of the products. It would be really interesting, as you probably would not have bought them as seperates , see if they really do what they claim ?

Doubleraspberry · 11/12/2019 08:13

I’ll give it a go. I am loving the quality of the products so far purely in terms of packaging and description. Of the three Blush calendars I have it most reliably delivers something that looks actually exciting.

I’m loving the stuff I’ve tried so far! The leave in conditioner was good, too.

What was today’s item?

Doubleraspberry · 13/12/2019 07:43

Sorry, I’ve missed two days!

Yesterday was another moisturiser, sample size this time:

I haven’t tried it yet as I am so loving the AB cream. I rather worry a very expensive habit may have started here.

Today was gorgeous, and I’m wearing it this morning to cheer myself up. Full size.

Wow today’s is great, full size too. I’m following and hope to get my hands on one next year after missing out this year.

This seems to be doing the best out of all of them, nice variation of products and all usable.

Doubleraspberry · 13/12/2019 11:41

Absolutely. I’m beginning to think there isn’t going to be a sponge or nail file in here!

OP posts:
DoctorMarten · 15/12/2019 14:13

The vitamin c stuff treatment from today is excellent! I used it underneath the pink watermelon moisturiser and my skin looks great on it. New expensive habit ahoy!

Doubleraspberry · 21/12/2019 09:22

Sorry, I had a weekend away and then fell off the posting wagon. Over the weekend I will do a catch up. There have been some interesting products this week although Cult has let me down enormously with a sodding sponge! Grin

OP posts:
Doubleraspberry · 23/12/2019 07:29

Right, back on the horse for the last three days! Today’s looks nice, although not a premium product.

Yesterday was this:

Beautifully packaged and an interesting product, but I got the Cherry Blossom shade which I think may be too pink for me. I have very pale skin and it looks a bit bright on me.

OP posts:
Doubleraspberry · 23/12/2019 10:04

Right. As promised, stuff from the calendar in no particular order as I cannot remember which day was which!

Beautyblender sponge.

Huda Power Bullet matte lipstick in bright red (El Cinca De Mayo):

Laura Mercier setting powder.

Vitamin C Paste (30ml size):

Shani Darden Texture Reform (10ml):

Sunday Riley Good Genes lactic acid treatment (8ml), which is not on the website, but the glycolic acid product is £80 for 30ml.

Susanne Kaufmann moisturising mask (15ml):

I think that’s the missing products. Did I mention Drunk Elephant night serum already? I think I did.

That’s a great haul. Thank you for updating.

Doubleraspberry · 24/12/2019 13:26

Christmas Eve brings a Jo Loves candle - White Rose and Lemon. Smells gorgeous.

Confidence in a Cream Anti-ageing Armour (7ml)
A Zitsticka cleaning swab and patch!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

This is the only calendar that interested me & I have never bought one before. It sold out whilst I mused. Thinking of next yr would you recommend?

Doubleraspberry · 26/12/2019 21:13

I totally would. I’ve loved it. So many new brands and lots of luxurious things.

Thank you, think I will commit!
