Beauty Advent Calendars 2020 part 3

[Butterymuffin]

The hunt continues! We await Black Friday developments.

I've been inspired by this thread to get the Velvetiser for my daughter for Christmas

Yes, that's a really great idea, especially if she lives with you!

I am enjoying this thread. I hope we can continue it even once we have separate threads for each calendar

She does.😂🤣 Another plus. We are both chocaholics.

I am really enjoying this thread.

Me too, even if it means I have an advent calendar (or two!) more than I had intended. Will be buying the Velvetiser for DH I think, who loves his hot chocolate...

I don’t have either LF or H&B, so hopefully we can continue to use the thread come December to share views on products from the advent calendars for which there aren’t separate threads?

For the velvetiser fans , I don't know what hot choc you buy but I'm a fan of Milo , this is usually in the foreign foods aisle in my Tesco but it's a malted hot choc and really good (IMO)

That sounds delicious! It isn't that easy to find really nice hot chocolate I think. About twenty years ago I lived overseas (Hanoi) and went to a little cafe by Lac Viet. They sold the most delicious hot frothy milk with syrups of all different flavours...they called them Steamers. I got completely addicted and ever since have never been able to replicate them exactly.

I love this thread too and hope it carries on right through Christmas.

I think I've pissed off Ryan from LF. He's been responding to my dm's. He's now stopped adding an x after his name

😂🤣 My friend used to work in Lidl HR and she said they could always tell how pissed off a person was when the correspondence began with Kindest Regards, then drifted to Kind Regards, then to Regards.....and finally nothing.

A bit like the Frank Kelly song...

Its in a big green tin ! I found it on a trip to NZ , you put a LOT in the mug but it's really lovely

You don't want to make an enemy out of me!😂🤣 I remember Sarah Kennedy or Terry Wogan used to play that on the radio around Christmas...I always loved it!

Thanks T-shirt! I will definitely give that a go. I've stopped drinking for a bit and am on the hunt for some lovely hot drinks to have in the evening.

Yes. I got my first email to say it was on its way about 3 weeks ago and was told to expect it that week. Then I got an updated email two days ago. And it arrived today! Lovely box!

That was my failed attempt at quoting another post in a reply! It was in reply to the question about whether I'd had any update about the LF calendar. Sorry. I'll master this one day!

As this is now a joint advent calendar and velvetiser thread, here is my first velvetised hot choc (chocolate orange!). I kept seeing tips to leave a little chocolate to go on top but I think I left too much out

at Ryan no longer doing kisses

My username is of course in honour of arsed emails.

Arsey emails!

That looks lovely.

The more arsey I'm being, the more formal my emails become.

I will look up Milo

Ochon Oh dear I really hope it arrives soon!

carole Do you love it? I think the orange will be my favourite so I'm low key saving it Keeping some time sprinkle on top is a great idea!

This thread is in danger of morphing into a hot chocolate one

Yes I think it will probably be my favourite so I probably should've saved it until last!

Also YY to Milo, it's served cold everywhere you go in Malaysia and I think it's the only thing I drank the entire holiday

Ryan has obviously finished for the day. Eva has obviously not read all my messages yet and realised I'm a pain in the arse as she has signed off with an x.

Latest: We are currently waiting on an update from one of our teams with the whereabouts of your parcel.

Sounds like they've lost it

Too many obviously's in that post, obviously.

Oh Ochon that is so annoying. I really hope you get it

Ordee yourself a velvetiser in the meantime

I would, except I really, really, really hate milk.
