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

Agree @Puppermint bit of a stingy size!! It feels nice on the skin and smells lovely. I wouldn’t buy this but that’s what I like about advent calendars: lots of things to try.

I am not fan of shesiedo skincare, so I am going to use neck down. Full size is expensive but I don't think today's size is too small tbh. I know there are good few full size products over all and I don't mind some in smaller sizes

I wish they have the special offers few days after the advent item day to give people chance to try and love the product. If I open cleanser today, and the discounts are today I wouldn't know for certain I want to purchase it for few days.

@MiaN I know what you mean, re the daily offers. It must be a pain to set up. I'd prefer a code that us advent calendar buyers could use in January against our favourites. Mind you, didn't this come with a gift voucher to spend?

Today's is not great for me. I have an unopened one of these already from a summer Space NK GWP. I guess I'll use it at some stage but not very exciting.

Not too excited about today’s cream but it’ll get used. I’m starting to wonder when we’ll get something a bit more exciting. Today I mixed yesterday’s tinted Illuminator in with my face cream and really like it. I only used a tiny drop as I was worried it would look greasy so will use a bit more tomorrow.

Considering there are 38? Products I'm surprised there hasn't been a double product day yet.

What's this special offer business? Missed that ☺️

I'm a bit meh about today's item. Hoping for something exciting tomorrow!

@DoctorMarten each day cult beauty is offering a % off that day's particular brand - matching the drawer contents.

Though i see today's is a gift offer, not % off.

Aaah! Makes sense - many thanks 😊

Really pleased with today's offer, it's a brand I've been keen to try and I've also just run out of facial oil so it was very well timed!

I am pleased with it too, and it's good size for oil. I have the rich cream and is bit too rich for me for daily use but lovely as once a week overnight treatment

I think the offers are different every day, some % off some GWP

I'm happy with this too. I loved the rich cream in last year's Liberty calendar so happy to try this. And my Votary face oil from Liberty 2019 is about to run out so this will be a good replacement.

I love AB stuff so I’m very happy with this. Lovely heavy packaging too.

Today's offering.

Not sure I'll be too fussed on this one but I will give it a try.

Last year we got a full size Votary face oil of which I still have at least half left, and the AB Rich Cream last year was far too rich for my oily skin and brought me out in terrible spots - DH ended up using it and he really liked it.

The packaging is really high end though, it looks and feels expensive.

The Votary from last year is possibly my fav ever advent calendar product, I got a second bottle and still loving it. One of those things I would never have tried without the advent.

I take back what I said this morning, today's face oil is gorgeous, it has a very light feel and I think it might really suit my oily/combination skin.

Oh that sounds good Too Wicked, looking forward trying it myself.

I am goin to try today's item in the next hour or so, it looks unusual

I got today's item in the August GWP, I started using it and it was ok but I found it hard to stop it looking clumpy, I recommend wiping as much excess off the wand as you can before applying. Although it wasn't amazing I was happy enough to continuing to use it, until I got a tube of Benefit Bad Gal Bang in an ASOS beauty box and wow nothing else can compare to that now I love it!

So basically it's a meh day for me but I will offer it to my friends and I'm sure someone will want it.

I'm in need of a new mascara so will give this a go today and see what it's like. I really struggle to not end up looking like a panda by lunchtime with most brands tho sweaty eyeballs maybe so we'll see.

I didn't get a mascara and was very confused. Then I realised that my son had opened tomorrow's window for me by mistake. So I'll enjoy today's treat tomorrow.
