Hello ! Came on to see if anyone had started a thread and can't find one...anyone fancy a daily opening thread ? Smile

I use this every summer specifically on my face, neck and hands with other cream self tan for my body. It smells quite nice but beware of drips as you will have brown blobs all over your skin. It gives a nice colour if applied correctly but is a bugger to get off if you make a mistake!

BarbedBloom · 05/12/2019 19:54

This is the only one so far I won't be using. I do agree about yesterdays too, was disappointed.

diamondsandrose · 05/12/2019 23:03

Ah see I LOVED today's!
I use a spritz of light tan on my face year round but particularly in the winter. Takes the edge off the grey pallor! I feel like if I have a tint of colour it transforms my face. If I forget to spritz some on for a few days I think , ugh I look ropey, then it dawns on me what's been missing!
This is super for travelling/gym bag as you very rarely get fake tan in little sizes. Am hoping it's refillable so I can reuse the spray bottle.

I like PK but the bottle and label feels and looks dirt cheap on this (like it was done specifically on the cheap for the calendar). Maybe it’s just mine. Doesn’t “feel” like other PK products I’ve bought.

Anyway, I’m sure it’s nice and I will definitely use it. However, Grazia needs to pick up its game with the next few days to keep me buying next year.

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 11:31

Hang on...what did you get this morning Writer? I got the Omorivsca (sic) face moisturiser which I LOVE and is the reason I got the calendar.

BarbedBloom · 06/12/2019 11:49

I got the PK blow dry lotion too. Am about to do my hair so will see what it is like. I was never a fan of the elastisiser though.

Writersblock2 · 06/12/2019 12:42

@KeithPartridge have you opened the wrong door (9, perhaps, if upside down) and spoiled us? lol

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 12:47

Lol no Writer...I even went back to double check. It is definitely number six. How weird!!

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 12:49

Although the PK lotion sounds like something I would try so will be happy enough with that when it arrives I think.

I was wondering why they put in such a great product so close to the start.😂😂

Writersblock2 · 06/12/2019 12:51

Maybe you got a bonus item!

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 13:17

Lol I wish! They must have got the boxes mixed up. I was missing a whole item from the LiB calendar but they are sending out a replacement apparently which is great!

BarbedBloom · 06/12/2019 13:31

Maybe it is just me but I actually hate the PK blow dry lotion. I have fine hair and it has just made it really knotty, sticky and sort of crispy. I don't know if I got a bad batch, but had to rehash my hair

BarbedBloom · 06/12/2019 13:31

Rewash even

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 13:53

Eewww that sounds terrible. I hate it when products do that. I had to throw out some salt spray stuff DH bought me as my hair went crunchy. He also got me a massive amount of Aussie stuff that was the worst ever.

Olive122 · 06/12/2019 16:38

I got the same as you KeithPartridge, how weird!

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 16:41

That is so strange Olive. We will no doubt get the PK stuff later on. I absolutely love the bottle..I wish I had a beautifully modern, glassy, shiny bathroom to put all my gorgeous bottles instead of my cottage one where you have to duck just to get in.

diamondsandrose · 06/12/2019 23:06

I got the Oro thingy moisturiser and am very excited , this is the one pp's raved about

The PK thing sounds rubbish , hope you lot get the moisturiser soon

Writersblock2 · 07/12/2019 08:06

I hope I get the moisturiser too!

Love today’s satin lip pencil by Nars. One of my favourite brands so I feel this is much improvement over some of the other offerings.

diamondsandrose · 07/12/2019 10:40

It's pearly ! Aw naw!
You can have mine if you want @Writersblock2

Writersblock2 · 07/12/2019 10:54

@diamondsandrose that’s really kind, but unless it’s a different colour I doubt I’ll get through two. Which did you get? Smile

BarbedBloom · 07/12/2019 12:35

Lovely lip pencil today and in a colour I will actually use. V pleased.

supercee · 07/12/2019 13:10

I'm only really wear red lip colour but love Nars so might give this colour a bash.

I8toys · 07/12/2019 13:46

I like this lip pencil - goes on nicely.

Olive122 · 07/12/2019 17:52

Pleased with this one, the colour is one that should suit me and NARS products are usually really good.

Writersblock2 · 08/12/2019 09:28

Essential oil mask. It’s a tiny 5ml though. Grazia, you’re not really doing it for me, I’m afraid!
