Harrods beauty advent chat for December (1)

[supadupapupascupa]

I don't think one exists yet so thought I'd start one!
Roll up roll up all you lucky Harrods advent calendar openers!!!

Please no spoilers xx

@AesopsMables oh I do love a good bargain!! Such fantastic value.

@Offredismysister good to know it's not too oily!

I’ve been using the medik8 from a cult beauty GWP that I got earlier in the year & that’s really greasy.

I'm curious to try, been a fan of Skinceutical Vit C for year now and that is fab

Bit late to the party but can I join
Very impressed with everything so far. However after a rubbish day yesterday I used the evidens masque just before bed to relax not realising that it was more of a wake up mask and all tingly haha

The serum went on well under my moisturiser this morning

The spoons are so you don't put your fingers in the pot which would promote bacteria growth and reduce the life cycle of your product even though they have preservatives. It's for longevity.

Todays not so exciting but will be good to pack for my post Xmas holiday. That’s if the new variant doesn’t ruin it 🤞🏻

I agree. Useful for a long weekend break. I'm sure it's nice quality

Today's looks good. I use Hado Labo HA which is also good and a lot cheaper so hopefully I won't like it too much 😆.

Never used NIOD, in fact never heard of the brand before, this is why I like getting an AC every year as it gives you a chance to try so many different products!

Happy with today's gift too. Never used Niod either.

I’m happy with todays, I’ve not heard of the brand but like this kind of product.

Today's looks great, full size again.
Going to use this before bed.

Today's looks good although not sure what it's for and when to use it. Any advice please?

I'm having serum overload too. I have so many in my stash I think I need to read up after Christmas and work out what does what before I open them

I’ve slapped some of todays on as WFH so no make up to go over it. It’s smells nice but is greasy. I prefer the NIOD.

Todays has come just at the right time for me, the winter weather is taking its toll. I really love the gold casing too. It looks very luxurious. I’m excited to try it.

I have been wearing the Augustus Bader Lip Balm all morning. It is the best lip balm EVER, so I thought I would buy another. £30 😲. Sadly that is way out of my league so will use sparingly to see me through the winter and then begrudgingly revert back to Burts Bees.

So far I have done a list below, not sure I can keep it up all month but what amazing value for money the Harrods AC has been (providing you use and like all of course)

Day
1 Sunday Riley Cream £60
2 EviDens Mask £144
3 111Skin Vit C Serum £95 (for 20ml)
4 Shamp&Cond Tester ?
5 NIOD Hylaronic acid £38
6 Dr Sebagh Rose Serum £129
7 Augustus Bader Lip Balm £30

Personally I love the NIOD and 111Skin serums both of which I am using in the morning after cleansing and before moisturising.

I used the Rose Serum last night before bed and think it would only be good for PM as quite 'oily' but smells delicious.

Have not tried the EviDens as that has moved to another box, however what I thought was day 2 is another pricey product.

Fantastic quality products and so very glad I ditched Liberty this year in favour of Harrods.

Great summary @AesopsMables! I like to see the value of the products and you e reminded me about 1 or 2 that I'd already forgotten about in my morning haste.

Am very happy with everything thus far

Am confused. I got Augustus Bader lip balm day, one - not Sunday Riley cream.
Today I got an Elemis moisturiser, nothing in gold casing!

Maybe we have got different batches?

@LesLavandes

Number 1 and 7 look very similar?

Lol, I wonder who got it right? Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't me but pretty sure it wasn't 1 today😳

The numbers are difficult to read on the calendar

I got a leaflet with the list of products and I have opened exactly as it says.

I didn't get a Sunday Riley cream! Did anyone get an Elemis Marine Cream? That was my day 7.

Guessing different batches! It makes this thread even more fun as we're a tiny group 😀

I got Sunday Riley day 1 and I've also seen the marine cream in there somewhere.

Today I got the Elemis marine cream, good size too.
It was the right box for sure as I have inspected in the light.
