Latest in Beauty advent calendar opening thread 2022

[KimmySchmitt]

Thread for anyone who has the LiB 2022 advent calendar and would like to discuss contents.

In line with the waifs and strays thread I suggest no earlier than 7am for discussing that days contents? Also if we can try to minimise naming the contents still to come as I've tried to forget!

Happy opening!

I'm not really into facial oils, but happy to give this a try

Well I was sceptical about the Jetlag mask but actually I woke up with nice glowy skin. It didn't feel very moisturising though but I've put some of the facial oil on this morning so they seem to go nicely together

I love vitamin c and needed some more so this and the vit c mask were big draws for me. I put it under bb cream this morning but might try mixing it tomorrow.

I use it like a moisturiser x

Not tried this brand so keen to give it a go . Great size as well. So far I am super happy with this advent

This is one of the products I was really looking forward to from this calendar so looking forward to trying (I'm trying to stay strong on finishing a different one first!)

Really happy to have this one today! I love anything rose and agree, the packaging and bottle were very pleasing.
I tried the jet lag mask overnight but had a busy day so forgot to pay any attention to what difference it made this morning. Will try again at the weekend maybe.

Happy with todays, I have an Amika curling wand which is brilliant, but never tried any of their products. Dry shampoo is always useful.

Also very happy! I love dry shampoo, didn’t expect this to be such a great size

I rarely use dry shampoo so not an exciting one for me. Overall happy so far though!

Love the pattern on the bottle but one of the duller days today. I only use dry shampoo if I get it in these calendars or beauty boxes, wouldn't bother otherwise.
Still very happy with the AC!

My mystery box finally arrived today. I got the summer one which I'm really pleased with, lots I think I will like in it!

Good size dry shampoo, will make use of this.

dry Shampoo is not my bag but I’ve gifted it and made a fed-up friend very happy.

I i’m away for a few days and may have opened the next two days in a-leaving-the-house frenzy…

I’m loving mine. The perfume is fab, as is the brow pencil and lip colour.

I use dry shampoo a couple of times a week so this was a big draw for this calendar as it's such a good size. I usually use Living Proof which is very good (but not cheap) so will be interesting to see if this is as good.

Only a mini today but feel like I can’t complain given all the other full sizes! Not tried this brand before. The colour looks like it’s leaning towards more of a brown nude tone rather than the pinky nude I can wear, so I’ll probably gift this one. Overall still really pleased with this calendar

I’m not sure this is my colour. I’m tempted to open and try but should really pass this one on

I was tempted and did try it on. Wrong colour for me. I’m med-dark skin tone but nice texture. Would make a nice gift for some perhaps a bit fairer?

Lipstick is darker than I expected (good for me as I don't suit pinky nudes). Still not really my colour though. Might give it to my mum as she wears browns.

I like the look of this shade, will try later

@Lurkingshark thats what I thought too, I’m olive skinned and think it’ll be too light / beige on me

I like this colour, it's a really good nude on me (fair skin). Better than Pillow Talk

I'm not a massive lipstick wearer but like the look of this shade so will give it a try!

This is everywhere this year. I’ve received a full size in a goody bag and a mini in the Selfridges advent calendar this week. Having said that, I’ve read amazing reviews. It’s known as the 2 minute Hollywood facial and apparently really is effective at brightening the skin. Happy to have this! And full disclosure I got a little bit excited and bought a couple more off Depop for ridiculously low prices so I’m set.
