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.

the oil or the serum? I had some irritation around my cheeks bellow the eyes yesterday. It's either from the serum or from the serum reacting with the eye cream I am using. I will give it few days rest and I will try it again

I really like the oil

Happy with today's shower gel

Me too. It's not a scent I've tried before, it smells lovely & fresh.

@MiaN it was the sleep roll on balm thing from DeMamiel. The smell killed me! I rolled a bit on my wrist when I opened it and i washed it off straight away, nothing relaxing about that pong!
I have to say, my face feels lovely this morning, although I did a chantecaille mask before applying the serum last night so I’m not putting it down solely to Barbara Sturm!
Today’s shower gel I will use.

Always love a Milton Brown shower gel - and a lovely fresh scent.

Haven't really used the other products yet as I have things to use up. Hoping I won't forget what's what!

MB seem to have got this into a lot of calendars this year, but I like their products, so am quite happy.

I’m pleased, I love this scent and it’ll be good to put in my wash bag for weekends away etc.

I have hunted for the Oskia mask for days thinking I had mislaid it but not remembering what it looked like. I found it today in box number 10, I had the MB early in the month - so must have been mixed up!

Love todays, one of my fav scents and good size too. Not sure about the serum and that oil on top, didnt feel great. Trying the serum again tonight with a cream moisturiser

@Bananaman123 did it all ball up? Trying to work out if it’s my skin peeling through using retinol or if the products don’t mix! I use them a few minutes apart but it sounds like they just don’t like each other!

Happy with today’s, I’ve just used it and it had an odd thick waxy texture, but I like that it hasn’t made my face greasy at all. I’m wary of vitamin c products as my skin hasn’t always got on with it in the past... time will tell.
I’m generally a bit cautious when things are advertised as being for ‘glowy’ skin - it always just looks shiny and greasy to me 😂

I am really glad I got to try todays' as I was tempted to purchase full size. I opened the advent last month and I already used it i up and won't repurchase.
It's very hard to get the product out, considering how small it is and how expensive the product is I was disappointed
It's waxy and it impacts my makeup application after. It doesn't absorb very well for am treatment

I think fans of Sunday Riely CEO will like it a lot but it was not the one for me

However if I didn't try it, I would have purchased just like I did SR CEO and PTR potent c and I didn't like either so it's saving me the cost of full size. Starting to think vit c is not for me - I am not mad about PC booser either!

Couldn't understand your chat but it turns out I opened 14 today instead of 11. Too early and no specs was my excuse.

@TheChosenTwo Yeah, felt horrible so i dont think they like each other. Went better with glow recipe banana cream on top last night, that tends to sit well over anything to be fair

Very happy with this morning’s oil. Smells nice and feels absolutely lovely. Saw on the website it can be used for hair as well as skin too.

Today's is worth £50! Looking forward to trying it out after my shower. Hope we get some makeup tomorrow - there's one item I'm really looking forward to.

Probably my second favourite, Votary still top 😁

Dont care much for today's. Oskia Votary Verso my faves so far

Haven't tried the Oskia yet
The vitamin c is thick, but wore it today and skin seemed to like it

No comments yet about today's?

Is that a reflection on how good it is? A balancing mask so I'm thinking it's an overnight treatment?

It's a great size so if it's any good it should last a while.

Just read the blurb. It says rub in until it changes colour. Then rinse off after 3 to 5 minutes.

I’m looking forward to trying it; I’ve just run out of an Oskia mask so this seems like a good time to try a new one.

Oh my god, I forgot to open mine so just ran to do it! And technically could have opened today’s but I was really good and didn’t peek 😂
Happy with the look of the mask, I’ve tried a couple of Algenist samples before and liked them so I’m going to have a go with this mask now before bed.

It's clay mask so I am bit concerned if it will be drying. I tried it and my skin feel lovely after but won't probably use it weekly

I don’t do clay masks very often either, they can be dehydrating if you let them set too much.
Bit disappointed with today, we already had a similar item and I still have 2 of these in a drawer from previous drunk elephant purchases where this came as an additional free gift! I mean, it’s fine, I’ll use it but it’s not anything exciting x
