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

Yes, I like the look of today's too, but haven't yet tried it.

What is todays?

It’s the perfume in the attached - 1707 Lilas. I’ve put it on today and I’m very happy with it.

Wasn’t sure of the scent at first, reminded me of the cloying ones my mum loves, but apply sparingly and wait a bit - it mellows out and is rather nice!

100ml is £295…goodness me
Some already for sale on ebay

Really enjoying Fortnums. Lovely to have a change from Liberty- feel it might be a permanent change.
I’m being very restrained and not opening until used products used.

That’s Cult 51 day and night creams now
Day cream works out at £40 and night cream £50
I’m loving this calendar
Really good products

Ooh some lovely ones now that I’ve caught up. Can’t wait to try all the face creams, I’ve never heard of the brands which is exactly why I love doing these calendars. Also loved the fragrance but will use sparingly now I’ve seen the price!!

Went to a National Trust place today and used my F&M hand sanitiser. Seemed appropriate!

I'm another one who loves trying the skincare. My skin seems pretty happy with anything, so I don't have a set in stone routine and like playing around with expensive stuff I wouldn't buy at full price.

Very happy with the night cream - feeling the love for this calendar too.

This all feels so luxurious. I'm really enjoying opening it each day

Thoroughly enjoying the calendar! Slightly intrigued by today’s! I must admit when I glanced at the contents months ago I thought it was a facial cleanser. The reviews are good though. I have been using the face vinegar the last couple of months and after being a little dubious I love it. So hoping this will be a surprise hit too.

Galinee scalp cleanser. I opened a while ago so Ive used this already. Not impressed to be honest. My hair absorbed it before it got to my scalp. I know it's non foaming but there was no creaminess on my scalp to wash it with. I will stick to washing with conditioner.

What is todays and what do I do with it? Confused!

I actually like this. I do have a horribly manky scalp (nice!) and it gets eczema on my head and eyebrows, so this might be good. I used it instead of shampoo and conditioner and my hair feels really soft and smooth.

I'm intrigued too, my main worry is that I'll stick it in a drawer, and slather my face in it, in a few months. These hair cream shampoos are a new thing though I've wanted to try as some rave about them.

I used it today. I have fine hair, that has been falling out a lot and hence can look a bit flat and lank (thanks thyroid.) I am not convinced I'll be a convert, but my hair does feel nice. Soft and clean, albeit a bit flat.

Loving todays perfume! Subtle, sultry but also summery!

Oh my….lovely perfume today
Just checked and it’s £46
This is my first F&M calendar…and I’m really pleased with it

I think that might be with the case as it's £36 here

Oh, ok

Really excited to try this one - very pleased today 😃

I was excited to try this but I don't really like it on me (opened the calendar last month so have tried on a few occasions). It doesn't smell of much and doesn't last. I think it's different on everyone though so hopefully the rest of you have a more positive experience.

This was the first one I've not liked but perfume is so specific - agree it faded quickly.

I love it! It smells very fresh on me. Summery
