Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2020

[Writersblock2]

Thought I’d better start a thread for this beauty. No spoilers please! Only post in each appropriate day.

Swaps etc. allowed.

This is the first meh item for me as I’m not a big body cream fan and it’s bloody tiny.

it is bit meh I agree but they can't give so much value each day. It's not bad really, we are just spoiled first 6 days! :)

Oh I know! Even discounting the items I know I won’t like/use this calendar is brilliant value and the first 6 days were amazing

Another kind of boring day but it will get used after my bath tonight so I’ll get it over and done with quickly.

I am not sure about today to be honest. First day that I am not so sure it will get used

This is a bit like the Elemis Quiet Mind Temple Balm, which I have, and love. Side by side, I think I prefer the Elemis but will use this one too.

how do you use it tinytroublemaker?

Ooh not keen on this one, it smells like a urinal covered in cabbage soup 🥴😂
Oh well, first thing I won’t use so not too bad in the grand scheme of things.

I put it next to my bed to try tonight and had to go up and smell it. It's not great scent I agree

Today's Settle is worth £40. I'm happy. I love sleep sprays/roll ons.

Mia I think you're supposed to put it on your temples, this one says wrists too so maybe pressure points, to help you wind down, relax. Bit like a pillow spray but on your skin. As I say, the Elemis one is IMO better (it's a lotion not a roll on)

I put my Tisserand roll on on my wrists and sometimes a little on my decolletage. I do prefer sleep sprays though.

I love things like this, I’m a big user of sleep sprays and temple balms etc so I will definitely use it especially when travelling, assuming I will ever travel again hashtag 2020 hahacry.

I usually use the This Works spray although I'm on the Ren one at the moment. I like to take the mini This Works ones away with me so my bed smells like home.

I do that too! DH rolls his eyes but then if I don’t spray the bed he starts asking where it is

Tiny 10ml bottle this morning, bit unimpressed (potentially spoilt yes, but the Calendar is supposed to be worth £400+ overall). Has anyone tried this product?

for 10ml the cost is 82gbp

Cult beauty are asking for 100 euro for 10ml or 270 for 30. Barbara Sturm is very overprized and I am glad it's not something like hyaluronic acid as hyaluronic acid is so cheap.

I am happy to try it, it's not something I will ever purchase but I like getting a chance to try what is the fuss about. I love her face cream and had the chance to try few times from GWPs - I would never buy it but as that's what advent calendars are fun for - discovering things I can purchase and few luxuries I just get to try

What is it, a face serum?

I'll wait until the end of the month then decide what I'll not use. Open to swaps but if anything is in the £30+ category I'm tempted to sell them on ebay.

It had better be good then 😁

Gosh - that's worth a lot of money 😂
I'm not sure my face is worth that much!! Will it really do €100 of amazing?!

I doubt it. I would never buy her face cream either as it's not worth the price for me but I enjoy every drop of it when I get it with gwp so I hope this will be same!

I highly doubt this is going to do anything amazing for my face but I’m looking forward to trying it out.
I’m not against spending money on my skin, I’m a marketers dream, can’t wait til tonight!

I enjoyed the Settle roll-on last night, I thought it had a pleasant subtle fragrance. I usually use Neom magnesium lotion and pillow spray but find the fragrance can be a bit overpowering. DH had a go of it and liked it too.

I've already used up the body lotion from the other day. It was ok, nothing special, I wouldn't buy it.

I'll be trying today's gift tonight. I'd never usually pay £90 for a night serum so I'm expecting great things!

I’ve given the roll on thing to my mum, the smell turned my stomach!
I’ve used the serum this evening with an oil over the top as I found it strangely drying?!
