Cult Beauty Advent December Chat

[MiaN]

I hope there are others with cult beauty advent who are interested in daily chat about the goodies! It's the first year I have not opened a single door ahead of time

I’ve used the shampoo this morning, it lathers up ok and yes, the scent is very mint choc chip ice-cream!

I don’t have any flaky scalp issues but I do have greasy hair and wash it every other day, so I’ll be interested to see what my hair looks like by tomorrow evening - whether the charcoal has dried it up a bit.

I can’t forgive cult beauty for the ridiculous amount of Black Friday emails they sent me!!!

all companies went mad this year I think. I need to clear out my email!

I was going to mentioned, I am using the daily boxes to organize my makeup and beauty products for last year and plan to use some for my bathroom cabinets too. If you are not reusing the box, you could try making use of it this way

I just threw out the shampoo from last year's CB not long ago, now another one would have much preferred a decent conditioner.

I am going to try today's later, and post photo shortly. I have different shade from the range and I love it, so I really hope it suits me!

The rituals item is from my other advent, sorry for the joint photo! Can't wait to try the lipsticks

I'm looking forward to trying the lipstick, it looks like it might be a good colour for me.

Love the lipstick packaging. Colour is a little lighter than I would have chosen, but a nice neutral.

Really like today’s. I tried it on first thing and love the colour (got an odd look off DS while I was making the packed lunches in my dressing gown). It’s nice and creamy too so not drying like some can be.

This was one I knew wouldn't be a hit for me. I'm dark haired with olive skin so normally prefer a stronger lipstick colour. That said the packaging is beautiful and it looks lovely and creamy. I'm tempted to try, or may give it to my sister in law whose a fairer blonde.

I have sway that I bought myself which is darker, and agree pout is bit lighter than I would have chosen but the colour suits me and I love the formula. It feels lovely on the lips

I've just tried today's lipstick and whilst it's little on the light side, it feels lovely. Saying that I don't have any other make up on so it will probably look a bit better once I have foundation etc on!

I've tried and it's almost the same colour as my lips so not for me. Am sure a friend will love it though, such pretty packaging.

Haven’t tried it on yet but it’s lovely packaging and a colour very similar to my own lips. Nice slim stick too, good for touch ups on the go I should have thought.

I'm worried it's too similar a colour to my lips, possibly even lighter. I think this might be one I ebay! Shame, I've heard the texture is lovely.

I absolutely LOVE today’s lipstick. It looks expensive, it feels expensive - both the packaging and the lipstick itself, it goes on like a dream, and the colour is perfect for me.

I think I may buy it in some other colours now.

Mind if I join you? Haven’t tried today’s yet but I’m very happy with it, if only because the packaging is so luxe! And a decent lipstick should always make a satisfying click when you close it!

Please do post a picture – I have brown skin and I'm wondering what shade it is – don't want to use it if it's going to be far too light on me

they have good diversity of models and try on option on their website. To be honest, I mid toned and it's light for me. used it over VB lip liner all over my lips, that darkened it little. you could like it as it feels very moisturizing on the lips but it is light. I will make use of it, I like the look even if I would not purchase this shade myself

that's from the website

unsure about the item today as it has ingredient I usually avoid, but it feels really nice on the skin. I will give it a try and it's very good size.

the vb lippie is my favorite so far, followed by the face mist from day 1

I never really see the point in toners and they quite often irritate my skin but I will definitely give this a go! Currently got a large Elemis Apricot toner I got in the recent QVC deal on the go so today's product will be getting stashed away for a while yet.

I'm not a toner fan either, they seem like a pointless extra step. But my hyluronic acid is about to run out so I may use this as an extra for a bit.

So far no wow items for me. The packaging for the VB is beautiful but my skin time is somewhere between 1 & 2 above and it just doesn't work. The spray is ok but does feel too intense. I may change the bottle.

I really like this toner, better than the REN one we always seem to get. Just started a massive Elemis one tho so this will wait a while.

That spray on hot summer day if you are out in the garden or around the pool is a bliss but for this time of the year, changing bottle makes more sense. If you are wearing makeup you can't really use it over, it's so intense!
