Just that really - so many advent calendars were discussed on here with so many products, but which ones are your HG?

For me it'll be the True facial oil which was in the Holland & Barrett calender. I adore it. Ill be repurchasing on payday next Friday.

JMAngel1 · 30/01/2021 21:57

Is that the Rosemary and Rosehip one?

Percy and Reedhair serum, lasts for ages and really effective at taming my frizzy mop.

Plump82 · 30/01/2021 22:35

That's the one.

Ohhh I've not tried the facial oil yet. Might give it a bash tonight. For me, it's the Sukin rose night cream. Smells divine.

The Ren ready steady glow, I have brought the big bottle already!

I loved that too, but i prefer the Clarins one i normally use so won't repurchase. Definitely try the oil. I read that it should be the last thing you put on, so over face cream but i didn't like how it felt so i preferred to use it before cream. Its so hydrating. I have very dehydrated skin which appears oily and i swear its helped that.

Le Prunier face oil - absolutely amazing. sadly out of stock everywhere at the moment.

CoronaCurls · 31/01/2021 09:56

Elemis Rose make up removing balm - have bought a full-sized pot already in January sale, even though I haven't finished the advent calendar one yet.

Aromatherapy Associates bath & shower oil. Have already bought more for me and for friends’ birthdays. It’s amazing

Gonegrey31 · 31/01/2021 10:52

The By Terry Baume de Rose lip balm. The best ever, and a little goes a very long way.

lookdeepintotheparka · 31/01/2021 12:08

From the H&B one (the only one I bought this year)

Dead sea magik BB cream
Evolve serum
Whamisa deep rich toner

Love all of these and will definitely repurchase. Was a brilliant calendar again this year Smile

Orcadianrythyms · 31/01/2021 12:31

I bought the Venn All in One moisturiser which if fab as a day cream. It's really good and one of the few things that was a hit in the Liberty calendar, the other thing I liked was the Augustinus Based but I couldn't justify the price. I rebought the Venn with a credit from net a porter so could tell myself it was actually only £55 Grin

JudgeRindersMinder · 31/01/2021 12:32

Maltesers Grin

StepOutOfLine · 31/01/2021 12:34

I only had the H&B too and am loving everything tbh.
I'll definitely try that trick with the oil, thanks for the tip!

Trumpton · 31/01/2021 12:53

Weleda arnica bath milk from the H&B calendar.
So lovely .
Rose face oil again from H&B

Sosigsandwich · 31/01/2021 12:57

Philippe Christophe sea salt hair scrub. Absolutely amazing for my greasy hair.

ChequerBoard · 31/01/2021 13:04

Second vote for the Venn age reversing all-in-one concentrate from the Liberty advent calendar. I've bought a full size and am loving it.

I also liked the Decree light cleanse and have bought that too. Lovely lightly foaming very soothing cleanser.

BangingOn · 31/01/2021 13:23

Lots of lovely things in the Space NK calendar and I haven’t used everything yet, but the two I hadn’t tried before and will absolutely be buying again so far are the Olaplex No. 7 oil and the Olverum bath oil.

BangingOn · 31/01/2021 13:28

Oh, and the Jo Loves Layered Christmas candle was gorgeous so I could be tempted by one of those next year.

lotusbell · 31/01/2021 14:30

If anyone wants my True facial.pil from.the H&B calendar please PM me.used once, didn't like it.

ConnectFortyFour · 31/01/2021 14:36

H&b urban veda rose night cream and weirdly the coffee face scrub which is very hydrating

Trumpton · 31/01/2021 17:09

Ah yes the weird coffee and citrus face scrub . I do like it but am using it as a body scrub .

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 31/01/2021 17:32

Olverum bath oil is divine. I got it in the Fenwick calendar a couple of years ago.
