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

Swaps etc. allowed. Grin

It IS a banana smell though, isn't it? I love the look of it as I like souffle creams, but the scent is putting me off as I loathe banana smells.

HotSince63 · 16/12/2020 10:49

It smells like those foam banana penny sweets I used to have as a child. I used it this morning, it's really light and sank in really well and I didn't notice the scent lingering after a few seconds. Will see how my oily skin holds up during the day.

I used the banana cream over the Drunk Elephant oil today and they went together very nicely 🍌 🐘

TheChosenTwo · 16/12/2020 16:22

Oh. I used the banana thing as a body lotion this morning after my shower Grin
Is it a face cream then?!

TheChosenTwo · 16/12/2020 16:25

I used up pretty much the whole thing and there was a little bit left in the bottom which I rubbed into my feet 🤪

LizzieMacQueen · 16/12/2020 16:32

That's the trouble with this one. You have to refer to the booklet but then you risk spoiling the surprise for later days.

The Liberty one has wee explanation cards in each drawer.

Here's today's blurb.

HotSince63 · 16/12/2020 16:34

I've been going on the Cult Beauty website every day after I've opened the drawer to read the blurb and see how to use the stuff.

TheChosenTwo · 16/12/2020 16:52

I don’t think I kept the booklet but even from looking at it, it’s not 100% clear (not to me anyway!).
Oh well, it was a fine body cream Grin

HotSince63 · 16/12/2020 16:56

It's definitely not clear from the booklet - there are no instructions for anything, how much to use, etc.

That was one very expensive body cream at £28 for one use! Grin

TheChosenTwo · 16/12/2020 17:12

@HotSince63 I’m really laughing now! Although the price is for 50ml, this is only 25. Still, it’s made me chuckle Grin

afaloren · 16/12/2020 17:19

Anyone who doesn’t like their sleep oil should feel free to send it to me Xmas Grin I love it and have used it every night!

HotSince63 · 16/12/2020 17:21

I'm loving my sleep oil, and so is DH! He used the AB Rich Cream this morning too Grin.

TheChosenTwo · 16/12/2020 17:39

@afaloren I’ve already palmed mine off to someone else Grin
Foul smelling stuff Envy

Rose Gold Radiance Booster - what do you all think about it?

Housewife2010 · 17/12/2020 09:40

It looks very nice. It's worth £50. I'm going to try it soon.

Peridot1 · 17/12/2020 10:00

I already have an unopened full size bottle of this I got with something else from Cult Beauty. Must actually try it!

I’ve been concentrating on using up some specific items before opening anything else. Almost at the end of quite a few things so can start introducing new things.

HotSince63 · 17/12/2020 11:17

Added a few drops of today's product to my moisturiser this morning - I've seen 3 clients so far this morning and nobody has yet commented on my radiant skin.

Well that’s just rude! I’m sure you are radiant!
Bananaman123 · 17/12/2020 15:14

I use banana cream a lot as a night cream. The watermelon mask is amazing too

HotSince63 · 17/12/2020 15:57

Well that’s just rude!

I know!! I mean, I'm wearing a mask and visor, but still Grin.

PrincessWatermelon · 18/12/2020 07:12

Ooo...generous today!!

Ooo...generous today!!
You're making me want to get out of bed to investigate! 🤞 it's makeup.
PrincessWatermelon · 18/12/2020 07:30

Maybe... 😉

MiaN · 18/12/2020 07:45

I gave 2 out of the 3 items away but very happy with the one I kept!

Housewife2010 · 18/12/2020 07:47

Ok. I'm getting out of bed now.
