John Lewis Beauty Advent chat

[Talisin]

Couldn’t find a JL thread when I searched so thought I would start one myself. Going by the run-up-to-December advent threads, I think a few of us have it.

My first drawer of disappointment. I have this already and it does actually work for me. This is not beauty imho.

That’s strange I got a Nars lip pencil in my calendar today!

Underwhelmed today.
Pillow spray, smells nice though

I already have and like this product but I got a 75ml version last year or the year before in a different calendar and haven’t got through that yet as it’s not something I remember to use. It’s a nice product though and good sleeps definitely helps beauty-wise!

I’ve had my second dose of the drink today - I’m feeling very healthy

I also have this product in a larger size from a previous years Advent Calendar. I am yet to finish it. Not overly impressed

I'm pleased with the pillow spray.

@DarlingCoffee I accidentally pulled the drawer underneath out today as well and what you got today fell out so those 2 might have got muddled up!

Ooh, Have heard good things about this brand but have never tried it. Need to do some research about where this particular thing could fit into my routine.

Today’s is the one I’ve been waiting for! Can’t wait to try. A good day! @Sosigsandwich yes I think this is exactly what happened

Have been wanting to try Sunday Riley and Good Genes was on the list.

Happy with today's drawer.

This product is the reason I bought the JL calendar. Heard such good things about this product and never tried it.

A winner for me today!

Yay this is the main reason for buying this AC this year. I can't wait to try this.

The SR Luna oil from last years AC lasted all year. I still have a few drops left.

It'll be interesting to see the consistency of Good Genes and how long it lasts. I'll probably only use it once a week

Is it quite strong ? Stronger than REN for instance?

I am really excited to try this. How often are you supposed to use it?

Have heard of this brand but don’t know much about it or this product - I’m looking forward to trying it. Am intrigued as to why part of the blurb states it it’s formaldehyde-free - I don’t usually use glycolic products and it makes it sound like formaldehyde is the norm

I am pleased with today’s product, the label is very festive

The label is so pretty!
Once I’d popped my reading glasses on I could just about read that it’s used as a serum. So popped it under my day cream today.

Delighted today. Loving this!

Well. Todays treat is right on the button. It’s like they knew…

Will get ready for the weekend with today's mask (Dr.Jart+ Ceramidin single use facial barrier mask).

Nice complement to the drawers opened so far.

I used the Sunday Riley serum last night after cleansing and before the gel moisturiser from the other day - it's made my face incredibly smooth, I don't think I realised before how rough and bumpy it was!! I have pretty sensitive skin and this hasn't made my rosacea flare up at all - a definite win!

I'm a bit underwhelmed with a single use face mask if I'm honest so it had better have amazing never been seen before results.

I used the Augustinus Bader last night and my skin is silky smooth and plumped up this morning and I get to use it for more than one night.

Happy with a face mask. I have used this previously because I had heard good things about it and then saw a box of 6 in tkmaxx for £12.99 - so you can get it for cheaper than the RRP stated. It’s nice enough but doesn’t wow me personally - I haven’t found a sheet mask that does yet though to be fair.

My Augustinus Bader is still going and I’ve been using it morning and night since we got it - and I don’t scrimp either. I’ve enjoyed trying it but it just leaves a film on my skin and my skin doesn’t feel very hydrated.

Underwhelmed would describe my feelings too. I've had this before and it's fine, but single-use is a bit disappointing and it's not amazing. I'm still impressed with yesterday's though so I guess we need some less exciting drawers to balance the good ones.
