Look Fantastic Advent Calendar Opening Thread 2020

Hello Look Fantastic calendar openers! Post as you open each day and we'll discuss our thoughts. No spoilers please.
As said on other calendar opening threads, think it is fair to say you can post about the current day from 7am so people know to avoid the thread after that time if they haven’t opened yet.

Brilliant - I had a feeling I'd seen one. Thanks

I lobe today’s brush, the colour and feel if it pleases me. I used it to apply yesterday’s blusher & highlighter and really like that duo too.

Butterymuffin · 03/12/2020 07:31

I like today's! Will definitely use, it's a brand I know and like and the scent is lovely.

I’m happy with today’s too! Tried the blush from Tuesday too and really like it, makes me look a bit less like I’ve been freshly dug up!

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 03/12/2020 08:13

I love Molton Brown. Good size too. Happy so far.

Chrysanthemum5 · 03/12/2020 08:22

Love today's! Happy with it all so far

LarsErickssong · 03/12/2020 08:25

Love today's its smells divine, so far so good for me Smile

ferretface · 03/12/2020 09:02

Great so far! I've moved everything straight into use. Hope it continues as strongly as it started off :) I feel like it's competing with some calendars that were quite a bit more expensive.

AliceinBunniland · 03/12/2020 09:06

I'm happy with today's item. Good size and I like the scent. Haven't had this scent shower gel before. Did everyone get the rose & rhubarb?

Butterymuffin · 03/12/2020 09:16

I did. Really like rhubarb so pleased with that.

Very please with rose and rhubarb gel and happy to have received the brush yesterday so that I could apply Tuesday's blusher. So far, so good...

BurningTheToast · 03/12/2020 10:06

I love this showergel! I was a bit 'meh' about the first two days but very pleased with this. The handcream MB do in the same scent is gorgeous.

AliceinBunniland · 03/12/2020 10:07

Yea I liked the hand cream too Toast I think that's where I tried the scent

bez91 · 03/12/2020 10:12

Pleased with the Molton Brown rose and rhubarb gel today too. Best so far IMO, not a blusher person although it will use the make up brush although it's a little squashed!

AliceinBunniland · 03/12/2020 10:29

What they should have done is put the blusher and the brush in the big number 1 drawer! Grin

MysweetAudrina · 03/12/2020 13:27

Thumbs up today after being a bit meh about the first two. Even used it in the shower this morning.

I'm just popping in to update those of you who were following my LF saga on the advent calendar thread.

The bit I think is absolutely hilarious is they are now trying to blame An Post. Yes, there are delays with An Post. However, nothing I have received in the last month through them has taken more than a day or so longer than expected. An Post is the company who received my CEWUK beauty edit last thursday and had it to me by monday so I was able to make my own calendar. If LF had actually shipped the calendar on either of the dates (12/11 and 18/11) they claimed it shipped, it would have been here ages ago so to blame An Post is totally disingenuous of them. Feckers. And breathe....

Looks like I may be in here with ye sometime next week after all.

Ochon I have really gone off LF after this. I'm enjoying my calendar but I don't feel inclined to order from them again!

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 03/12/2020 16:49

Ochon I ordered items last Friday (from debenhams and Carriag Donn, not that it's relevant) and both arrived via an Post today. I can't remember when they were dispatched, but there's clearly no major delay.

I hope you can treat yourself to something nice with the €45. I was going to suggest the Black Friday beauty box (€40) but it's out of stock.

Hope to see you joining us very soon Xmas Smile

Other than the freebies, I certainly won't be using them again.

I've just ordered a serum and a toner. Hopefully they'll turn up....
AsPerMyLastEmail · 03/12/2020 17:42

I’m also v happy with today’s. I’ve been getting Molten Brown bath & shower gel as a regular treat for probably 10 years or even more now. I have none at the moment so this is great. It’s in the bath I’m currently running for myself Grin

Really happy so far, 3/3. I’ve always found it to be a brilliant AC, one of the best for VFM. But like others I’ve had such bad customer service from LC, I won’t be buying from then again except possibly next year’s advent calendar.

bez91 · 04/12/2020 07:05

Love today's, I've already used this morning!

I'm impressed so far compared to other years which I've found a bit meh!

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 04/12/2020 08:13

Yes, I like this. I'm glad it's not one of those cleansers that has to be washed off.
I almost read the name in front of my 6 year old son. I said ''dragon's blo.... never mind' (dragon's blood) Shock
