Is there a thread for NAP yet? I can't see one? If not does anyone else have the calendar and want to join me? I've enjoyed the Liberty threads the last couple of years but fancied a change this year can't wait for the morning!

Got to be honest, for me foot cream is drawer of disappointment!

imp2007 · 08/12/2021 17:39

I wasn't mega excited about todays but have just tried it and it smells lovely - agree lip balm lovely perfect in this cold weather too x

I've been quite happy with everything so far but think my fave is the lipstick - packaging is so beautiful will definitely check out some more VB products.

Happy with today's!

Snally82 · 09/12/2021 17:00

Happy with the candle too, it’s already in the lounge

imp2007 · 10/12/2021 18:14

I absolutely love a nice hand cream - something I often ask for as a present. I've not tried anything from this brand before so today is a good day for me. Scent seems nice not too strong I thought it absorbed really quickly too. Happy 😊

Loving the body oil. Packaging is lovely and I don't find the scent too strong. I've been really impressed with everything so far. The pillow spray from yesterday is divine. It's all so beautiful to look at as well, aside from the eyeliner. Not much can be done with an eyeliner.

imp2007 · 13/12/2021 14:54

Been away for a couple of days just catching up the pillow spray is beautiful the lovely packaging gives it such a lift so it doesn't feel like a boring drawer!! Jungle oil is fab this is one I was looking forward to - the smell really reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on what? Todays not hugely exciting but will get be used by me and DD.

Hmmm bit meh about the neck cream today but the bottle is beautiful and it is ££££ definitely something I wouldn't buy myself

Yes, I looked it up and crazy money! It is nice, again the glass bottle is lovely. I can't see what is in it to justify the price though. I shall enjoy it, but won't repurchase! The vitamin c powder we got is fab though. I may repurchase that it is quite effective.

imp2007 · 14/12/2021 21:36

I've had a little pamper session tonight tried to use as many of the products as possible. Looking forward to waking up in the morning looking firm, young and with hair like a beach babe!!! Finishing off with the pillow spray and deep sleep cream!

OP posts:
LesLavandes · 14/12/2021 23:16

Let us know! Been away from home today so haven't opened mine. 2 tomorrow 😊

imp2007 · 15/12/2021 07:50

Great nights sleep and skin feels super smooth and looks good going to try and use the vitamin C powder every day now thanks @lightningstrikes for reminding me! Todays has excellent reviews and is a brand I like so looking forward to trying good size too!

Oohh yes this mask does get good reviews doesn't it! I find the creams from Omorovicza too rich for my skin, but this looks really promising. Can't wait to try it. I've been really impressed with this calendar so far. A really nice mix of products that feel like a real treat.

imp2007 · 17/12/2021 17:46

So happy with todays - lovely high end skincare that I would never buy myself. Although I love trying all the products this is really why I buy a calendar

OP posts:
lightningstrikes · 18/12/2021 12:28

Well I'm not sure about this. Feel that I'm unlikely to use it realistically. Used the facial oil today though and like that. It sinks in nicely and smells lovely, though the scent doesn't last long.

imp2007 · 18/12/2021 15:00

Todays is a drawer of disappointment for me realistically not something I will use however I have regifted it to a friends daughter so all good. Still loving the oil used again this morning even feeling bleurgh after my booster skin is looking glowy!!!

OP posts:
imp2007 · 20/12/2021 21:20

Todays is interesting not used anything like that before - if it does what it promises will be amazing! I can't help feeling slightly nervous of it though. Think this will be one to try in the new year! Still loving the ageless fave oil think that has moved into the top spot for me so far!

wheresmyshoe · 20/12/2021 21:22

I find it a bit terrifying too. I don't want to use something harsh on my skin. I might patch test on my arm.

imp2007 · 21/12/2021 19:15

@wheresmyshoe that is a very good idea!! I'm going to try the Omorovicza mask this eve hoping it will improve the look of exhaustion brought on by a day of Christmas food shopping and wrapping 😱

friendlyflicka · 21/12/2021 21:30

That mask is the only clay mask I love. It really makes skin so clean and polished without drying it at all. And I am 55. So quite an achievement

imp2007 · 21/12/2021 22:01

@friendlyflicka I wouldn't normally go for a clay mask but it is lovely my skin doesn't feel dry at all after using it. Will try and remember to do it once a week!!

imp2007 · 23/12/2021 07:23

Wow really happy with todays and yesterdays this calendar is just getting better and better for me. Have been wanting a nice moisturiser and todays will be lovely for winter. Smile

OP posts:
Snally82 · 23/12/2021 07:49

Super happy with today too, in fact I had just been thinking that it was strange there hasn’t been a moisturiser
