Any interest in a opening/review thread?

I tend to open early.
No photos until after 0700?

I'm so looking forward to opening mine tomorrow!

Roundaboot · 30/11/2022 18:39

I was just about to start this thread! So excited for tomorrow 🎅
I agree, 7am seems a sensible time for sharing photos etc

Chickydoo · 30/11/2022 18:44

Looking forward to joining you.
Getting excited

wasiwrongtoask · 30/11/2022 18:45

I'd check all the drawers first thing tomorrow! I did and had a high ticket item missing Hmm

PomRuns · 30/11/2022 18:52

Exciting !

Sorry to hear that @wasiwrongtoask I hope JL sorted out for you?

I have this.
So excited as I’ve only had M and S before. I’m going to start using everything as soon as I get it, rather than saving things until I’ve used up other stuff.

Thanks for the heads up! I just got DP to check mine and it's all there.
What happened with yours? Have JL given you a refund? It's fairly rubbish for what's supposed to be a quality calendar!

Stokey · 30/11/2022 20:32

Hello, excited to join. I bought JL first as definitely liked the ingredients best. Have since succumbed to Fenwick's too, as there reductions were great and some perfumes that I wanted.

I don't really remember what is in each though.

Thanks for starting a seperate thread @PomRuns . Looking forward to 25 exciting days

pattyparsnip · 30/11/2022 22:15

Hi just received this lovely surprise today Smile. Looking forward to tomorrow I haven't a clue what's in it .

PomRuns · 30/11/2022 22:16

Fabulous - looking forward to sharing with you all.
Off to zzz - have DC calendars ready plus the elf door in situ.
I’m at work early tomorrow - my 0530 alarm will hopefully be a bit easier 😊

Mine is all ready to go in the morning.

start of Christmas for me.

Pootle40 · 30/11/2022 22:41

Can't wait. It's in pride of place for tomorrow!

Maranello · 30/11/2022 23:30

Reporting for duty!

mangoforbreakfast · 01/12/2022 06:45

Joining too please, it’s my first time with a beauty AC and very excited. Enjoyed unboxing it last night. Trying to resist opening the first door until I’ve handed work project this morning so I have a treat to look forward too!

PomRuns · 01/12/2022 06:46

Happy advent !

day 1
A solid start. I’ve not tried before so will be interesting to use.

Happy advent! I’m not saying I woke up well before my alarm this morning because I was excited to open my first day but…

Anyway, looking forward to trying this as I’ve heard good things about it.

Nuffaluff · 01/12/2022 07:21

My hairdresser recommended this to me so I’m looking forward to trying it.
It’s so expensive to buy!
I’ll have to wait until I wash my hair at the weekend so I can use it as it takes time. I only wash my hair every three days so it’s not going to be this weekend.

Peridot1 · 01/12/2022 07:21

Happy with this morning’s offering. Not tried before. And could do with it!

Stokey · 01/12/2022 07:26

This was one of my weaker boxes when I was looking at the calendars. Not because it's a bad product but I just rarely have time to wash my hair and leave something on for 10 minute and then rewash. But I'm going to give it a go as think it will be good for my aging dyed dry locks.

pattyparsnip · 01/12/2022 07:37

Love this. I already use it , so will be nice to have some in .

Roundaboot · 01/12/2022 07:40

I'm pleased with this! I've been wanting to try it for ages but was a bit put off by the cost. It's nice to have a hair product in a calendar which is suitable for Curly Girl method

Chickydoo · 01/12/2022 07:43

Love this! I already use it. I've only got a bit left in my current bottle so delighted I have a replacement!

SpicyToothpaste · 01/12/2022 07:44

Hello everyone! This mornings was okay but unexciting for me as I have a bottle on the go already. It’s good but I don’t always have time to use it. A nice solid start of something I will use over time!

Talisin · 01/12/2022 07:49

I’m quite interested to try the Olaplex but at the same time, it’s not really a Wow! gift to start off with. More of a day 2 or 3 thing. I should get a job filling these things 😀
