Yes two items @rooella

queenofkale · 01/12/2021 07:26

Just checking in! I'm quite excited about trying today's although for me both seem like an evening product so will hold off from using!

Chickydoo · 01/12/2021 07:27

We are off to a fabulous start
Sunday Riley Face Oil and Sunday Riley Retin A
I love a face oil, going to try these in a minute, I will report back later.

Couldn't wait, just used a bit, feels lovely

'Reveal a brighter, dewier complexion with the Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil, a skincare treatment with brightening properties'

JemimaPyjamas · 01/12/2021 07:59

DH surprised me last night with the F&M one - was blown away!
Delighted with the face oil, and the F&M cuticle oil.

Not a good start from me I’m afraid - box number 1 was a sticky mess. The serum appears to have leaked out of the tube somehow - not sure how tbh but it’s definitely not the glow tonic and the tube seems to have hardly anything in it.

Jooox · 01/12/2021 10:04

It’s my first year with an expensive calendar and I don’t really have a good knowledge of the pricier labels but I love a face oil so I’m happy with today.

The boxes are so soft and fancy.

@Chickydoo I prefer looking at your photos to my own products Grin so pretty.

Do we have a math whizz keeping a running total on these threads?

CeeCeeDeeBee · 01/12/2021 10:13

I’m happy with day one! Haven’t tried the product yet but looooove the boxes and the excitement! It’s my first ever beauty calendar.

kikipie · 01/12/2021 10:47

Pleased with this, I’ve used some of their other products but not this one yet

Birdybirdbirdy · 01/12/2021 10:59

I was really pleased with today’s offering! I just started the blue Sunday Riley oil that I got in an advent calendar last year (I put it in a safe place and forgot it was there 🤦🏼‍♀️) and I’m loving that so exorcised to try this.

Birdybirdbirdy · 01/12/2021 10:59

*excited not exorcised!!

Player067 · 01/12/2021 11:09

Very happy with today's present! Had to scrabble a bit to get the box out but worth it.

Mcmcmcmc · 01/12/2021 11:18

@millymae that’s a shame! I suppose you could contact their CS and ask if they could send you new ones?

I opened my Space NK advent last week Blush but will be following this thread. I haven’t started using today’s products but have started using another one that is a few days ahead…

Chickydoo · 01/12/2021 12:52

I do love the little boxes, it feels more like a special gift than opening a drawer

pattyparsnip · 01/12/2021 13:07

My husband bought this as a surprise so don't know what's In it . Happy with the serum today think it costs £34 to buy .

The packaging is lovely and the boxes feel nice. I had a vitamin C product I didn’t love a little while ago but maybe in a face oil - which I do usually love, it is gentler. Reserving judgment as I do worry these potent skincare treatments can be a bit too strong for me…

My first expensive beauty calendar- saved £10 a month for this from last December- so great to be able to buy it then!
Loved today’s offering!
Can’t wait to see tomorrow’s!

The CEO Glow is £68 for 35ml.

I won't count the other serum as it is so small and definitely a free sample. But if we are counting it for maths purposes, 30ml = £70, so this is worth £11.67.

Running total = £68 or £79.67.

SocksAndTheCity · 01/12/2021 17:26

I couldn't wait to try this even though I have two face oils on the go! I've been wanting to try some Sunday Riley products for ages since they always seem well thought of and this definitely the sort of thing I like - I haven't tried the serum yet.

One thing I will say, however, is don't get it in your eyes, folks Confused

freezingtoes12 · 01/12/2021 17:27

Oh I've realised it's only 15ml :( so @pattyparsnip was correct with the total.

£34 or £45.67

ColourChange · 01/12/2021 20:14

I always have to look up how to use the products. Sunday Riley A+ 1 or 2 drops on clean skin at night. Is that every night?

C.E.O. Glow - massage into face when needed - does this mean unlimited amounts a day as suits?

ColourChange · 01/12/2021 20:16

I’m hoping for some silk hair bands again this year. Really made a difference to my hair breaking.

TheDuchessOfMN · 01/12/2021 21:32

@ColourChange I massaged the oil into my face and neck after a bath (tonight).

I much prefer that to using it in the morning.

My skin feels amazing now Smile

Chickydoo · 01/12/2021 21:55

@freezingtoes12 I think you are our designated mathematician for the month. I am happy to take the morning photos if you do the maths Grin.
Going to slather the oil on after my bath in a mo' The way my day has gone today I might just cover my whole body in it, maybe I will look 21 in the morning 😂

ColourChange · 01/12/2021 22:02

I’ve cleansed and slathered too. Feels good it’s a thumbs up from me. Will dot some SR A+ on before bed but there seems to be a lot of strong ingredients in it so might do that twice a week instead of daily.
