Fortnum & Mason beauty advent chat for December (1)

[supadupapupascupa]

Welcome lucky advent calendar holders!!

I've opened mine but look forward to chatting on the proper days during advent.

Please no spoilers xx

I have the mask on my hair now and I'm toying with the idea of leaving it on overnight - I think I'll probably rinse it off. The smell is lovely but it's very, very thick and I could barely comb it through my hair even with a shower comb.

I also really like the oil from yesterday, so F&M is proving a very good buy so far (even though two days isn't really very far ).

Oh My God! I googled today's offering as I hadn't heard of the brand - nice enough looking face cream - 3lab WW cream. The normal 60ml size is £421!!! Which puts this 15ml size at £105....?! Jeepers. I'm expecting a whole new face after using this!

Ah yes, the ultra-expensive 3Labs cream - I remember reading about this when I was perusing the contents of advent calendars back in August. Have to confess I’d forgotten all about it (along with most of the other contents of F&M, so each morning has been a lovely surprise so far). Excited to try this and see what such a spendy product can do for my skin. Hopefully it won’t turn out to be the elixir of youth as I certainty won’t be repurchasing 😂

My worry also that I will love it and never again be able to buy it

This is great, a nice holiday for my face and puts the Barbara Sturm cream I want in the not as expensive as I thought category
Although I do wish I’d not put some on the back of my hand this morning to test it out - what a waste!

I'm sure I look better with the cream on - feels lovely! Yes, at that price it'll have to be a virtual face lift to be repurchased!

Wowsers - I hope it's not a magic cream as I'm another who won't ever be buying it, however good it is.

Still, it'll be nice to try.

I’ve used the 3Lab cream this morning so am sitting here now waiting for the results
Have to say, it’s the richest face cream I have ever used…..and I’ve used a lot
Really thick and creamy and sinks in well
Amazed at the price and don’t think I can put this on my Christmas list as it’s so, so expensive
Can’t believe over £100 just for the size in the advent calendar
This is my first F&M calendar (previously had Liberty for the last few years) and I have to say I’m really pleased so far

@Martinisarebetterdirty - hopefully you have an incredibly radiant and youthful hand now . Looking forward to trying this! I’m loving the calendar so far too.

Really looking forward to trying this. Calendar a huge hit so far.

@LoveLabradors I can definitely tell the difference between my hands

Today's smells lovely and feels gorgeous

I’ve not opened it - plan to make my way through them all individually as otherwise I’ll have loads of slightly used products laying about, and I also want to save some for long haul flight treats!

I'm doing the same @JemimaPyjamas - did a quick Google to see what it was but will keep it unopened until the one we got yesterday runs out.

I'm dying to try everything as soon as I open it, but know it'll be a bad idea as I can't use it all quickly enough (unless I start using it on places like elbows and shins...!)

Nice to get something a bit different today, I really like the room spray.

I want to love the room spray, but unfortunately, where I was expecting fresh and zingy, all I’m getting is old and fusty. Could well be my sense of smell though haha. Yesterday’s copper stuff looks interesting. If I’d been sensible like others on here, I’d have left it sealed until I’m ready to use it,. But I’m not sensible so I opened it and stuck my finger in! Now I have 2 opened face creams to use up- I’m going to be ravishing by the time we get to Christmas 😂

I felt the same way about the room spray!

I liked the room spray more than I thought -the lingering smell was better than the upfront although I'm really looking forward to the other dr vranjes.

Anything smells better than dog though!

I've used the eye wateringly expensive cream again, I'm worried, I do think it makes a difference!

Ah, maybe I should try that @casinoroyale4ever. I’ll go and spray a spare room in a minute, leave it for a bit and then go back for a sniff- 🤞I like it more then. I’ll report back.......

I find the spray initially reminds me of Opal Fruits but then it sees to settle.

I've not opened anything yet. I put it back in its drawer and hoard it. Then in the post Christmas gloom I intend to shut myself away and open the doors all again and indulge at my leisure. So I'm really enjoying hearing your thoughts on everything.

I've just done this - I sprayed mine ten minutes ago or so and got the full Opal Fruits blast, but now it smells lovely.

I've been away for the weekend so had a total of 6 doors to open when I got back and now I'm exhausted from all the excitement

Looks like a big end product 🙂

High not big !
