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!

Agreed! A good day for me. 75ml travel size bum bum cream, worth £20

How delightful is the snow?!

This was one of the products I bought the calendar for, I know a lot of vloggers are bored of it but I've not had it that often and it smells amazing. I've been so busy this last week I feel I haven't had a chance to actually sit and look at what we've had, hoping to get some time this week to relax and try some of it out.

Still worling my way through the largest size pot of this but will make use of this too eventually. Lovely scent.

I love this cream too.

I've not tried this before, I'm happy to hear the good reviews on this thread as on others people seem fed up of this product. Looking forward to trying it now

Love this cream . I will be dragging it out for my holiday in January. It is the smell of holidays for me. I could never get sick of it!

Day 13 looks good! Medik8 Sleep Glycolic,
30ml, £39

Rejuvenate the complexion with Medik8 Sleep Glycolic, an at-home facial peel that works to smooth and brighten the skin for a more even-toned appearance.

This potent exfoliating formula contains 10% glycolic acid to help refine the complexion, working to slough off dead skin cells and promote healthy cell turnover to boost radiance. Glycolic acid works to address dull skin by decongesting and exfoliating, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and hyperpigmentation. Time-release technology helps to keep the skin barrier healthy and reduce any irritation normally associated with a chemical peel.

Use this overnight treatment 2-3 times a week in the evening to encourage a glowing, healthy-looking complexion.

KEY BENEFITS

Features high-strength glycolic acid
Gradually releases throughout the night to reduce the chance of irritation
Works to exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal radiant skin
Helps to minimise the look of hyperpigmentation and uneven texture
Decongests to promote a bright, even complexion

Looking forward to try out today's.

I love medik8 and the smell of yesterdays cream so really happy. The full sizes are making me happy too!

I love this calendar I think it is amazing value with all the full sizes and I have liked all the doors so far and will use them, good variety too . So far my favorite has been the moisturiser from day 1 and surprisingly the biossance face oil which I was not bothered about at all but my skin really likes . Also quite impressed with the eyeliner (rest I haven’t used)
Very pleased with todays door as love Medik8

Is the medik8 gentle? Am not sure if it’s a swap for me as not a fan of harsh exfoliation, I like the tangerine perfume but not this one so will be swapping that. Really enjoying the calendar though

I've not used this before so looking forward to giving it a go. I’ve used an retinol eye cream and hylauronic serum from Medik8 before and it is a great brand.

I’m not 100% but I think as this is an overnight exfoliator it’ll be quite gentle? The ones you leave on and rinse off after a few mins (like the exfolikate) are the harsher ones I’d say

Thanks @Ohdear7 yes I can’t use Medikate but will reserve judgement for now, if anyone tries yesterday’s box I would be interested to hear how you find it. I really love the bum bum cream too and also save it for holidays as it reminds me of them and really works to rejuvenate upper legs and hips I find

A DoD for me this morning - but the first one really so can’t complain. I’m not sure I even know anyone to gift it to. It is big though which weirdly makes me feel better about it.

DS got very excited about yesterday as it had the word bum on it…

Yeah it is a massive bottle . My hair needs all the help it can get so willing to give it a go but otherwise will try to pass it on . I must admit the calendar is quite hair heavy this is the fourth hair product! We should have fabulous manes by the end of December!

Also not that fussed on this. I'll give it a go I suppose. It is a good size but this is one I wish was more of a trial size so I don't feel wasteful if I don't like it. I don't even know who I could pass it on to. At least it gets good reviews.

Also got a hair product in my other calendar so disappointment all round today

I was dubious about today but I tried it this morning and it does what it says on the tin. I have big bouffant hair and it blow dried really quickly. I think this would be great if you have naturally flat / fine hair. And I also prefer it to the scalp scrub I got in my other calendar:)

I'm quite happy with today's (haven't actually tried it yet but I'm sure I'll use it).

Yes I think this is potentially nice as I do have fine hair

I don’t use hairspray but I’ll find someone to pass this onto easily enough!

Well I like todays offering as it’s new to me but I’ve had other products by the brand that I like.

Has anyone wore the Trish mcevoy eyeliner ? A few days in I think I noticed it’s quite smudgy and has glitter in it? Am I seeing things?

Day 15, lixirskin vitamin c paste. @Lurkingshark good to hear, I haven’t heard of this brand before

I haven’t used the eyeliner sorry!

I tried this and it was nice, not harsh

@Lurkingshark I have tried the eyeliner haven’t noticed any smudging or glitter but am an upper lid only lady and only wear it on an evening so wouldn’t necessarily notice any glitter as also wear eye shadow I might give it a whirl tomorrow during the day as off out shopping

Wow, I love today's! My eyes have been dry and itchy after a lot of screen time at work.
I put it on as soon as I'd opened the door as I have just run out of all my other eye creams. My eyes feel zingy and awake now 10 mins later. Love the cooling roller ball. Looked it up, Suzanne Kaufmann eye rescue serum and am it's £85 for the 10ml size we have today. Wow! This advent has been exceptional value for money in my view.
