John Lewis Beauty Advent 🎄

[PomRuns]

Any interest in a opening/review thread?

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

🎄🧑‍🎄

Great drawer for me.
Thanks @Peridot1 I’ll try it.

I worked out the value of the products I’ll use - it’s around £350- the rest I’ll swap or re home.

A lovely treat and I’ve enjoyed sharing the opening with everyone 🎄

What value did John Lewis say it was. I can't remember

I think it was over £700 value, but not sure of exact amount. It's definitely been worthwhile for me.

Sorry I meant the value of the products I’ll use. I think overall the value is £700 ish

I’ve really enjoyed it too! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s offering!

Thanks for this.
I pretty much do this already but will incorporate the new products in the same way 😊

Merry Christmas! Today's is a good drawer for me. Love the smell.

See you next year.

Merry Christmas all. I have so enjoyed opening my calendar every morning.

not sure about today’s. I’ll use but it’s not a wow for me.

Very happy with today’s offerings. Love the brand.

happy Christmas everyone!

I opened yesterday's drawer without my glasses on, was only when I was dabbing it on my wrist that I thought it was possibly not perfume . Very happy nevertheless.

Todays Neom products are a big hit with me even though I use the spray fairly regularly (often ask for it as a gift) and super happy with the full size candle.

This has been the best advent I've had so far, I think there's only 4 products I'll regift/give away.

Oops forgot to wish you all a very merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas. I'll enjoy using this candle and spray

Merry Xmas everyone. Sad to see our advent adventure over for another year but John Lewis has been great and looking forward to trying out all the new products (might see how many I can try today while I get ready see if I re-emerge as a swan!)

Happy with todays!

if anyone wants to swap either of the two other perfumes for the Floral Street one let me know!

I love this brand! The whole advent calendar has been such a treat for me ❤️ hope everyone has a merry Christmas

Merry Christmas all!

Happy with today's, love the brand.

What's our total?

Love the candle! Not much for pillow sprays but this smells wonderful so I’ll try to remember to use it.

Hero products that I’ll definitely be buying again are Olaplex - always meant to try it and it makes my hair feel wonderful - and the Acqua di Parma perfume which is just gorgeous. Products I haven’t tried yet but really looking forward to are the Dermalogica, the Sunday Riley and the Lumene. Also loved the Mac lipstick (used several times now) and the Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadows.

Happy Christmas, advent buddies🎅

Merry Christmas to all! I'm thrilled with the candle - it's huge and smells lovely! Also not normally a fan of pillow spray but this one smells so nice.

Happy Christmas! Very pleased with todays offering. I will keep the candle by my bed and won’t light it for a while as it’s already scenting the room 😂 I love a pillow spray so very happy

Merry Christmas 🎄

Loved day 25.

i think there were just 5 products that I’m not keen on, there are some really lovely things I’m looking forward to using.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas - it's been fab opening with you all. Hope everyone enjoys their stash and hopefully do the same next year! 😊

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas 🎄

Our lovely candle (£48) and pillow spray (£20) on day 25 took our end total to £760.40

I have throughly enjoyed opening the calendar every day and wasn’t disappointed with anything, there’s only a few make up bits I won’t use. I’m out (again) with some friends tomorrow night so will offer them out.

The items I was wanting to try did not disappoint. The CT eyeshadow palette is really lovely and I’m considering wearing eyeshadow on a more regular basis as I look so much better! The Christophe Robin salt scrub is fabulous, both times I’ve used it my hair feels so soft and lovely. The OTO night eye treatment is so much more effective than the usual cheaper eye cream I use. I’m so impressed with many of the other items too. I’m not saying my life has been changed by an advent calendar but it sure has been a real treat at a busy time of year.

Thank you all for the thread, it has been a pleasure sharing this with you all!

Morning all, just to echo what other posters have said, it’s been so lovely sharing the joy of opening the calendar with you all. It was my first beauty advent and did feel like an extravagant purchase but it has been very much worth it for me. Again only a couple of items I am disappointed with, but appreciate that these would be lovely for other people.

Dunno if anyone else is still around but I noticed my Oto eye cream seems to have a peach coloured layer on top then a cream colour underneath- anyone else?

I’ve only used a tiny dab of mine but it was a coral colour - I’ll have a look tomorrow morning
