Space NK beauty advent chat for December (1)

[CountryCob]

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 had a bad day ...

@Footballfrenzy2021 That's a spectacular photo! So sorry you've had a bad day, those boxes made me giggle though. Enjoy the contents and I hope tomorrow is better for you.

I've used both of these before, like them. I wouldnt use at same time. I would do alternate nights or the oil in the morning and the Retinol at night 🙏

Day 2
Charlotte Tilbury push up lashes. This looks interesting, it claims to be a mascara that lifts lashes for 24 hours. Will let you know how I get on with it today

I've tried this mascara before it's ok . I'll probably save it for holidays .

My day 2 was empty!!! What’s the best way of getting in touch with them do you think? And will they be that bothered?! 🤔

@Birdybirdbirdy
Just found the customer service number for you : 0208 740 2085

I have just tried the mascara, its very dry/almost empty doesn't seem to do anything. 🤷‍♀️

@Chickydoo Mine is completely dried out too. So disappointing.

@Chickydoo thank you!

@TheDuchessOfMN I'm going to phone them later and complain

@doadeer thanks for the tip. I will separate them out this week.

Day 2 - is it because it’s such a tiny sample that it’s dried out? Mine doesn’t seem to have much mascara in it.

I plan on saving the mascara for holidays too but presumably it’ll be the same for all of us and dried out. What a real shame.

Just had a look at mine and it's dried out too . Hopefully tomorrow's offering will be better .

I wonder why? Is it something to with how little product they’ve put in there, or how it was stored and packaged?
I’ve since remembered that it also happened to a mascara in a previous advent calendar

Was going to save the mascara but now you've all said yours are dried out I'm at least going to open it and check when I get back home, thank you.

I tired the mascara this morning... your right I think there is not that much in the tube. But I did like the look of it and it stayed put today!

Mine is completely solid I struggled to even get the tube opened ! When I got the brush out it was completely dry , totally unusable . Not happy at all !!

I was going to eBay mine because I don't wear black mascara, and now I don't know whether to chance it or not without opening it! I don't want to send somebody a dried out mascara

Would the old sticking the tube unopened in a glass or hot water sort it out?

Oh no I'm scared to open the mascara. How disappointing! I was hoping to save for over Christmas but think I'll have to try sooner.

Looking forward to trying today's though!

Olaplex no 3
So many people have told me how brilliant this is, so I am excited to try it, will use this evening. Is it used like a conditioner?

I love todays - you put it into damp hair - sometimes I leave mine in overnight with a shower cap on and wash out in the morning!

It’s a bond builder rather than conditioner. I leave olaplex overnight then rinse / condition the next morning and my hair has never been better despite hot tools / bleach.

Have emailed space nk re the mascara.
Olaplex is great but yes not really a conditioner as such . You use it ( leave on as long as poss) THEN shampoo and condition it out. It's strong so you don't need much. I put it on the ends of my ponytail if I'm having a "house day" ( dampen end of ponytail first)

Has anyone got through to them about the mascara? I emailed yesterday. It’s unacceptable imo, for a £200 purchase!

I checked. My mascara completely dry too. Such a shame, it's one of the products I was most looking forward to trying.
