@Chickydoo

Just tried, mixed with the moisturiser. It actually looks quite good. Makes me look healthy 😂
I am going to go give it a go.

Was waiting for someone else to try it first 🤣

Jooox · 09/12/2021 09:09

Can we mix the drops with any moisturiser? They’re so tiny.

Jooox · 09/12/2021 09:11

Gosh what a stupid question that was. Of course we can. As if the drops are going to be all ‘we have identified a different branded moisturiser, we will now shut down’ Blush

Darkpheonix · 09/12/2021 09:54

Don't think I put enough or the drops is in as I don't look any different.

I used the Strum HA this morning. Not a huge fan. See how the day goes though.

ithoughtisawapuddycat · 09/12/2021 09:58

I've been using my mascara for the past 3 days and it's not dry at all. Gives me incredible lashes so I'm happy. I think the colour drops today can be used as a cream blusher. Tried a tiny bit this morning and the colour was gorgeous and you need the tiniest amount.

This is my first ever beauty calendar so I'm happy so far.

JemimaPyjamas · 09/12/2021 10:08

Another possibly stupid question - do you then apply the moisturiser all over like normal, or just to your cheeks?

SocksAndTheCity · 09/12/2021 10:15

I put a bit on neat and the colour is lovely!

I haven't opened the moisturiser because I've got a few now and I don't want to wind up with lots of opened/slightly used ones, so I put it straight in the stash without looking but I might stick some in my usual one and see what happens Smile.

Twinsandsome · 09/12/2021 21:55

I use the drops over my finished
Make up just on the apple of the cheeks and they are amazing xx

diamondsandrose · 09/12/2021 22:48

I also used it neat ing I love it ! Can you get it in a bigger size I wonder ?

Also saving moisturiser as have lots opened , but it looks lovely

Still not received my replacement face mask but suppose they are busy this time of year

Darkpheonix · 09/12/2021 22:51

When people are using it neat, is that on the cheeks or using it all over?

Chickydoo · 10/12/2021 07:58

Happy with the candle.

Jooox · 10/12/2021 08:50

For those of us with covid nose, what does it smell of?

pattyparsnip · 10/12/2021 09:29

Love this Smilesaving for January when my Christmas candles are no more .

kikipie · 10/12/2021 09:34

I don’t use candles so will re gift this one

doadeer · 10/12/2021 09:43

I find it a strange smell. Not for me.

Darkpheonix · 10/12/2021 09:48

I really like it but I do like Boy Smells. I would say (and I am no expert so forgive my explanation) a little musky with a hint of Berry or fruit.

millymae · 10/12/2021 10:21

I love Boy Smells candles so am more than happy with this. I’ve had it burning this morning - it’s nice but I can’t detect anything smoky or hay like. First impression is that I won’t be buying another of these - for me their Gardener candle will take some beating.

freezingtoes12 · 10/12/2021 10:51

I like the candle!

Day 8 total: 226.80
Day 9: I can't find this duo out there to buy - can anyone else? Rosi Drops are £30 for 30ml, so £5 for this package. Whipped cream is £50 for 50ml, so £5 again for this, total £10.
Day 10: people are selling this on ebay for £15-20 citing that it's £36 RRP but that is for 240g. This candle is only 85g so I am going to say it's worth £12.75.

Total: £240.55

Jooox · 10/12/2021 11:18

Thank you @Darkpheonix I’ll pretend that’s what I’m smelling when I burn it later Smile

RedDingDongMerrily · 10/12/2021 14:15

The candle smells very strong to me even without lighting it. I have been wanting to try this brand but I can tell already that it’s not for me so I will use it as a stocking filler. Very happy that I got one to try before buying.

diamondsandrose · 10/12/2021 18:26

Good idea keeping the candle for January

I couldn't read the writing on the box this morning didn't have my glasses on and it's TINY 🤣

Chickydoo · 11/12/2021 07:18

Day 11
Anastasia loose powder. Not keen on this. Have a Laura Mercia powder that I hardly ever use.

TheDuchessOfMN · 11/12/2021 08:29

Not really keen on powder either —because I usually spill it everywhere— Blush

Darkpheonix · 11/12/2021 09:10

I am looking g forward to trying the powder. I haven't used one in years so will be interesting to see.

Never used anything from this brand, before, either.
