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.

Meh disappointing for me. I've never used them and can generally sleep anywhere. DH suggested he blindfold me tonight 🙈😂

Fresh bedding on tonight, so I've made the most of it with a bedtime bath with the Rituals scrub. It smells divine - I can see why you all rate it 🥰

Pleased with this! Very good size Elemis and I haven't tried the night cream.

@bez91Grin

@WildRunner it's one of my favourite Rituals items.

I'm not sure this product is for me as my skin is oily, so it might be a bit too rich. But its a good size, looks a good product so I might pop this one in someone's stocking! The full size one is quite expensive too!

ferretface · 14/12/2020 08:30

Quite a nice big pot!

I'm really happy with this calendar, for the price I think it's punching above its weight.

AliceinBunniland · 14/12/2020 09:05

I opened 14 yesterday by accident so opened 13 today.

Pleased with both. I do use eye masks sometimes so happy to have another one.

I've never used any Elemis skincare but it's a brand I've wanted to try and a nice size so I'm pleased with this one as well.

I agree it's a good calendar. Shame their customer service was so bad for some people as that might put me off buying the LF calendar again next year!

chloechloe · 14/12/2020 13:38

This was my excuse for buying the calendar as the marine creams from Elemis are amazing. I even got a goody bag when buying the calendar too which included a 30ml jar of the day cream (and other nice bits including my favouriteOskia cleanser) so I’m super happy.

MysweetAudrina · 14/12/2020 13:55

This is my sad day as I have no 14 box :( and I do like a nice night cream but in fairness to LF they have put £10 back on my card to help me deal with the pain. So I will treat myself to something ( not like I haven't been treating myself to multiple things in the lead up to Christmas)

AliceinBunniland · 14/12/2020 13:59

Do you have two of another number instead @MysweetAudrina?

clary · 14/12/2020 15:27

That's crap mysweetaudrina, like a pp this was my reason fir buying this calendar, I love this cream and it's almost worth the £70 price I paid alone :)

MysweetAudrina · 14/12/2020 15:55

@AliceinBunniland yes I have 2 6's but one was empty :(

YorkieTheRabbit · 14/12/2020 17:46

I’m really pleased with today’s Xmas Smile I already use the day cream and I wanted to try this.
I’m really happy with the calendar so far, apart from the sleep mask and black eyeliner, I’ll use everything else.

AsPerMyLastEmail · 14/12/2020 18:09

I’m still enjoying the eyeliner, it remarkably doesn’t seem to smudge as much as most others. Perhaps I should do a swap with one of you who hasn’t opened theirs for something I won’t use ...

HedgieHog · 15/12/2020 06:24

I’ve used the eye mask every night. Pleased with the Elemis. Nice big pot

OchonAgusOchonO · 15/12/2020 08:15

I got am email today from An Post saying they have received my LF calendar!!!!!! Two weeks after LF told me it was in Ireland and any delays were An Post's fault, An Post finally gets it. Gobshites. Jadvent here we come.

GrinGrinGrin Great news! A Christmas miracle!

I’m pleased with today’s item, I like a nice serum and it’s made in Denmark which is good.

Yay so happy for you!

I was just saying to DP last night I hope there's a serum in the next few days as I have run out this weekend, but I have sensitive skin so not sure this will agree with me. Will give it a go though.

Happy with today's item too. I am always keen to try a new serum.

MysweetAudrina · 15/12/2020 09:07

I like today's too. Will use it after I wash my face in a minute.

AliceinBunniland · 15/12/2020 12:51

Good news that you may get your calendar Ochon

OchonAgusOchonO · 15/12/2020 13:12

Ta dum....

Well done An Post. Arrived in their sorting facility around 1am this morning and delivered by lunchtime.

I've opened today's and am happy with that. I may go from today and then continue at the beginning so long as I can resist the temptation to open all the early ones in one go.

I’m hoping for a mascara as realised mines on its way out

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 15/12/2020 20:15

Woohoo, excellent news Ochon

The Elemis night cream is my favourite so far, skin feels fab.
