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.

Empty box for me today :(

SomethingAboutNothing · 06/12/2020 09:41

Oh no Audrina how annoying! Maybe send a quick tweet/dm to LF if you are on some form of social media and they will hopefully send you another one.

SomethingAboutNothing · 06/12/2020 09:42

Already have todays product on, hope it works as my hair is in pretty bad condition at the moment.

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 06/12/2020 09:43

Oh no @MysweetAudrina LF have been such a disappointment for so many people this year.
I'm sure they will send you the item or refund you. It's a Philip Kingsley conditioning treatment (pre-shampoo)

chloechloe · 06/12/2020 10:18

I have several tubes of this and like the idea of if it but find it a bit of a fad having to wet your hair and wait to wash it off. Has anybody used it in a different way? I might try it in my daughter’s curly hair as conditioner.

Very pleased with today's - I love this stuff, makes my hair feel wonderfully soft! I have managed to date never to have to buy any myself as I've had varying sized tubes of it in subscription boxes. Happy to add to the supply.

@chloechloe I haven't found another way to use it, but what I do is pick a day when I'm just around the house (so most days and every weekend at the moment...) and put it on, then get in the shower after it's had its 20 minutes. I actually prefer it to the ones you're supposed to put on after shampooing and leave for 15 minutes as I don't want to hang around in the shower for that!

@FlipperSkipper no worries, I'll put it on one side for you and we'll see what else comes along. I will be heading to the swap thread soon as one of my subscriptions came this morning and there are things I won't use in that.

My dd just pointed out that I had 2 number 6 boxes, one of which was empty and I have no number 14.

rooella · 06/12/2020 12:38

I seem to have a different product today.

ferretface · 06/12/2020 13:36

This is one of the products I was excited for but I didn't know it had to be rinsed - interested to try it all the same.

countingto10 · 06/12/2020 14:03

I had two products in my box today, just had a quick check of all the remaining boxes & there’s something in each so obviously lucked out - feel bad for Audrina though Sad

ImpossibleGirl86 · 06/12/2020 14:56

I also had a different product 🤔 odd!

AsPerMyLastEmail · 06/12/2020 14:58

It does seem as if the packing of the AC this year was slapdash & erratic! Sorry for those missing products. Like a pp, I’ve also had only one or two products wrapped in the pink paper. Otherwise it’s just been in the box alongside, scrunched up in one case.

As for the product I’m very happy as I like Philip Kingsley products. Agree it’s a faff to wash then wait. I usually do mine in the bath when having a long soak.

ferretface · 06/12/2020 21:38

Mine have all been wrapped up, maybe it was quite variable by packer...

FlipperSkipper · 07/12/2020 06:50

Oh Audrina, that’s rubbish. Today’s is nice but I won’t use it as I’m using dermatica.

That is rubbish @MysweetAudrina. It does seem to have been very variable all round. Mine was delivered early even though I ordered at the same time as others who didn't get theirs at all..

Like today's and already have three bottles of this! Stocked up when it was on Latest in Beauty. I like toner.

SomethingAboutNothing · 07/12/2020 10:18

I don't usually use toner so this one doesn't really excite me but I'll give it a try and see if it suits my skin.

ImEatingVeryHealthilyOhYes · 07/12/2020 10:24

Have enjoyed this thread but not chipped in yet. Um, regarding today’s offering, without giving the game away, mine’s not a toner but something long and thin...

Sorry to hear of people having missing/unwrapped items. I’m wondering maybe the packers were put under time pressure? Definitely needs to be decent customer service.

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 07/12/2020 10:25

Today's doesn't suit my skin. I got it in the M&S summer beauty box, and it was very harsh on my skin.
It gets great reviews though

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 07/12/2020 10:26

Mine is REN glow tonic

ferretface · 07/12/2020 11:52

The tonic is a duplicate for me as I also have the cult beauty starter kit which its also in. Generally I have loads of exfoliants (the most recent Cult Beauty GWP came with so many) so it'll probably be a while before I get to it.

AliceinBunniland · 07/12/2020 11:58

There is a swap thread for those who can't use today's

I might put the ND blush from day 1 up for swap

LarsErickssong · 07/12/2020 12:11

I'm going to give the toner ago but I think it will probably irritate my skin, worth a try though.

MysweetAudrina · 07/12/2020 13:59

I like REN and I use toner daily, so this is a good one for me.

chloechloe · 07/12/2020 15:28

I’m happy with this, I’m trying to get into using an acid toner more regularly. I have quite a few others to get through though with my excessive AC purchases!

Rocket1982 · 07/12/2020 22:05

Anyone tried the dragon blood from a few days ago? I think my skin looks smoother but maybe it is wishful thinking. My usual skincare routine is moisturiser only.
