Look Fantastic Advent Calendar Opening Thread 2020

[Butterymuffin]

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.

I love today’s offering! It suits me really well.

I’ve been pretty much thrilled with everything so far, except the black eyeliner.

How did the tan drops go?

Loved this morning's! I was also a tad petrified of the tan drops, but after everyone's reassurances I mixed a couple of drops in with my moisturiser this morning. And I'm really impressed!!! It is more healthy glow than tan, but I definitely look like I've spent a weekend in the great outdoors, rather than a year not leaving the house and eating cheese.

Yes, very happy with this! Always nice to get an Illamasqua product.

Really happy with today's, it's the perfect colour for me and can't beat Illamasqua.

Today's looks nice but I am reluctant to try it in case I want to give it away

Is it a liquid lipstick or a gloss?

Ooh today’s is lovely, glad I came on this thread as I had not examined closely and thought it was a mascara and since I got on in a LF box recently I wasn’t going to need it for a while. Just tried it and it’s a really nice colour on. It feels glossy @AliceinBunniland

Thanks @Directionerforever I think I'll try it

Should also add I’m sitting here with a shower cap on having applied the Phillip Kingsley stuff which smelled delicious. I have the anti frizz serum from a different LF beauty box and it’s fantastic so I have high hopes for this.

Quickly smudged on a few mins ago using hardly any as just about to go back in the shower so not a perfect application but so you can see the colour on.

Thanks directioner (beautiful lips by the way!) - I’m tempted to try it now as it looked more of a brown colour through the packaging whereas it’s actually more pink than I expected. Unless there is more than one shade. Off to investigate!

I think the shade on mine is Vogue? Assuming that’s not something to do with the brand?! #clueless 😂😂

I’m having a right fun day of it though, just used my body scrub and now about to whack some tanning drops on my face and pray I don’t look like Ross from friends 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Ross: “What number are you?” Tanning shop guy: “Puerto Rican”

The tan drops are pretty idiot proof. I put 2 drops on my face and 2 on my neck last night and have a bit of a glow but no obvious colour. I’m a MAC NC15 / 20 if that helps. If in doubt, less is more!

I have the same shade “Vogue” so may give it a go.

That's nice on @Directionerforever

Loving getting an illa masqcua product but wish it was a bright red, the colours a bit mumsy for me (ie MY mum would love it before I offend anyone 😗)

An eye mask today. I already have one from another calendar or GWP which is still opened. We have electric shutters which make the bedroom pitch black so not much use for it. Does anybody actually wear an eye mask regularly, I feel like it’s something you only see in films!?

Hello! I’ve been meaning to join from day 1 but kept forgetting.

I bought this as I’m terrible at working out how to use beauty products so wanted some new products I wouldn’t pick. And then I’ve been discounting some as soon as I open like the tanning drops so it’s really good to see others saying they’re not sure either - thanks for the video link. If I manage it it’s truly idiot proof!

I work shifts so use an eye mask for my daytime sleep, which means I have a good quality one that is nicely padded and blocks out all light. My son liked this one though

I have used the tanning drops for the last 2 mornings now, no obvious tan as yet but my skin was far less oily at the end of yesterday than usual so I might have to invest in some more hyaluronic acid products!

The eye mask is a bit of a let down to be honest, but at least it's not a sponge (one of my pet hate non-items to get in these things).

@SomethingAboutNothing I have oily skin but have been using a hyaluronic acid serum for a couple of months now and really like it.

I do use an eye mask at times as suffer with insomnia so already have one. I’m guessing it’s not real silk?

Not real silk imo, but happy enough as it's an improvement on the free ones from airlines I otherwise use. I don't use them regularly, only when travelling and can't get the room dark enough.

I will use the eye mask for yoga nidra so am happy enough with today's. Might try a few drops of the tan later today when I decide to get ready.

I use a mask for sleeping so happy with today!

I do too. Have just googled yoga nidra, hadn’t heard of it before so thanks!

I just opened my calendar and came onto the thread to realise I opened the wrong day!

I will open number 13 tomorrow...

I'm pleased with the one I opened today though!
