If anyone is interested, I’ve managed to get myself one Grin

I ordered mine this morning and it was despatched tonight!

I wasn’t massively bothered about the contents of this one tbh but I was buying a running top and a couple of Nuxe sets as Christmas presents anyway. I also got a free Nuxe gift with purchase!

I would never spend £25 on it but the This Works stuff does sound lovely for before bed so that swayed me! Bit too much hair stuff I think (would’ve swapped one of the styling products for a shampoo at least) and is it me or is nail cream just really boring?! Nonetheless, I look forward to its arrival Grin

@FordBlue for what it’s worth, I have tried 2 out of 3 of the hair products and they are both very good! The nail cream is likely to double up as hand lotion!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 28/10/2020 07:18

I was all set to buy one, but I’m not impressed with the contents. Too much hair stuff I have no need for.

Still sulking that they haven’t done an advent calendar this year.

I think I'll get one as hair stuff is better for me as my skin is so sensitive. Plus I need some new undershirts anyway. Reviews are pretty mixed with the only 5* seeking to come from someone who hasn't received it yet though!

NotJustACigar · 28/10/2020 08:43

Having had another look the product sizes seem tiny for the most part...hmmmm not sure if it's even worth £20!

Dizzywizz · 28/10/2020 08:48

Oh I ordered one yesterday - I thought it seemed good for £20 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hoping people will comment as they start to arrive!

vjg13 · 28/10/2020 09:25

Really liked the Summer one but can't decide on this one.

vjg13 · 28/10/2020 09:26

Just to add, haven't ordered it yet.

redroses86 · 28/10/2020 10:08

I went and got one yesterday as I needed a few M&S bits. Also still sulking about the lack of advent calendar.
The This Works stuff is a decent size and smells amazing.
I also like the two full size hair products too and will definitely use them.
Am a big fan of the eyeliner too, there was a similar one in a previous advent calendar that I’m still using.
Less bothered about the nail stuff and Eyeko. How does Eyeko even still exist, I only ever see it as the naff addition to boxes and calendars.

littlefireseverywhere · 28/10/2020 10:13

I’ve ordered one, thought could use as stocking gifts for family members etc.

HellooJackie · 28/10/2020 10:25

Hmm those products look pants Sad

FlyingByTheSeatof · 28/10/2020 14:43

It's a bargain for £20 if you want and use those products.

olivo · 28/10/2020 15:02

I got one today. Will share the contents with DD. Would have offered the serum but as predicted, got the PRai cream.
have a couple of other advent calendars to make up for no M and s one!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 28/10/2020 16:19

I’ve still got the eyeliner from the summer beauty box.

It’s a motley collection of products IMO.

I’m after skincare really. The Eyeko mascara is ok, but not fantastic. It doesn’t have a WOW product. The summer box was really fab, I’d have thought they’d have a better selection for Christmas.

Eaumyword · 28/10/2020 16:20

I adored the summer box contents, but don't fancy this box. I would have been tempted with a face serum, shower gel and body lotion, pretty neutral colour lipgloss and a mini candle!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 28/10/2020 16:36

A lipgloss or nail polish would have been nice. But I suppose with no Christmas parties etc, they haven’t done it? Don’t know, but I’d have liked something to make me feel glam even if I’m at home!

lindyloo57 · 28/10/2020 16:59

I had the summer one, the eye liner which get great review was the worst one for me, smudge within the hour. Heres hoping the different one in this box is better.

Agree, but I’ve found if you powder your eyelids first it’s ok.
Skinfulnappies46 · 28/10/2020 19:39

Too much hair stuff for me. I use CGM so would be a waste of money. Bit miffed they aren’t doing their advent calendar this year as all other beauty calendars are way too £££
