As I am looking forward to this thought would set up a thread so we can compare thoughts on the contents daily come December 1…..

I like the lipstick. My skin is looking surprisingly good for winter but I’m trying so many products I have no idea which ones are working well. The Eve Lom is going to last a lot longer than I thought. I left the Oplex hair bond on overnight but it gave the same results as leaving on for 10 mins except I woke up with itchy scalp.

This thread is wonderful. I’ve vicariously had a beauty calendar this year courtesy of all of you. As a result I bought the Drunk Elephant moisturiser and drops and the blusher on eBay - calendar contents are flooding on to it - and I love them both. Thank you so much. ❤️

A bit meh looking at the shade. Not sure whether to try it or ebay it.

Day 24
Face Mask. It's full size which is good. We don't have a 25 so today is the last day.

Wow. What a thoroughly underwhelming last day.

SocksAndTheCity · 24/12/2021 10:41

I think the mask looks great and I'm looking forward to using it but yes, as the last one in the calendar I would have like it in a little Santa hat or something at least Grin.

After going back through it all though, there are very few items that I won't use (I can't actually think of any bar the mascara), so it's still a win for me. I've already RP those exfoilating face pads and I'll likely be having a look at the sale later for the rosi drops and couple of other bits Smile.

@Blossomtoes what a good idea. On the Oplex thing my hairdresser said not to overnight as it can go too far, only 20/30 mins

Trying not to feel disappointed with this overall. I wish I’d gone for CB and don’t think I will use space nk again. Too many tiny products and small samples.

Chickydoo · 24/12/2021 13:17

@Jooox yep I completely agree

Necessity. I left it too late to get either of the calendars I wanted of which this was one. My only complaint is that it’s started a £50 moisturiser habit! I’ve really enjoyed the thread.

Happy Christmas!

Thanks for being advent buddies Xmas Grin

Jooox · 24/12/2021 17:12

Thanks everyone. The thread prolonged the calendar fun each day.

My favourites are the eye shadow and body cream, although I’ve not used most things so that might change.

I’ve just used the face wash, pads, baden oil, eye cream and today’s mask as a moisturiser. My skin feels nice and clear. My dog appreciates the effort for our evening in together Xmas Grin

CeeCeeDeeBee · 24/12/2021 19:31

I've enjoyed the thread! Merry Christmas everyone!

My favourites are the eyeshadow, the rosi drops, the blusher, the body cream and the lipstick :)

Just want to say thank you. This month has been the worst I have ever had.

But between the sadness, the Advent calandar and this chat have really helped give me some sense of normality.

I actuly liked the calandar, which was my first.

So thank you all. Merry Christmas.

Chickydoo · 24/12/2021 22:41

Merry Christmas 🎅 it's been fun 🎄

rooella · 25/12/2021 09:44

Merry Christmas, have a great day! I've really enjoyed the calendar. Not tried everything yet but really happy overall.

CountryCob · 26/12/2021 10:49

@Kbish1 very sorry to hear that but glad the advent created some frivolous interest. It really was a tough year and I hope you are ok 💐
