Title edited by MNHQ at request of OP - No spoilers before 7AM pls: Space NK advent calendar - opening thread 2022!

[Zoetrope1]

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

In line with the other opening threads, suggest no earlier than 7am for discussing that day’s item(s).

Looking forward to tomorrow!

It will be interesting to see if people are happy with the smaller sizes that were talked about.

Interesting. This was by the far the best value advent for me taking into account the brands I love and the products I would actually use!

Absolutely. There were lots of calendars I could objectively see were good value, but weren't for me. The space NK ones are always so beautifully packaged too.

I think there was a thread but haven’t had any notification from it for a while. If I find it I’ll link it :)
can’t wait til tomorrowb

Hoorah!

Ive had a crap three months so Im so pleased I bought this. I only remembered it seeing this thread. I dont know whats in it I never looked at spoilers. Exciting!

This will be my first advent calendar since childhood 😍

Really pleased though that I’ve mostly forgotten what’s in it as I bought it weeks ago, the first time they took 20% off.

Thanks for starting the thread @Zoetrope1

Excited!

Day 1: Paula’s Choice BHA exfoliant, 118ml, worth £34

From Paula’s Choice:

Our No.1 bestselling exfoliant around the world.

Reveal flawless skin with our bestselling leave-on exfoliant. This gentle, lightweight fluid quickly exfoliates dead skin cells both on the surface and deep inside pores to reveal smoother, clearer, more radiant-looking skin. BHA (salicylic acid) has anti-inflammatory properties and helps to reduce blackheads, blemishes and redness.

Thoughts? I’m really happy with Day 1! One of my favourite brands and this is already in my skincare routine. I know it’s in a lot of advents / goodie bags though so if you don’t use BHAs might be a little underwhelming. Love the little message on the box!

I've never tried this before so am keen to give it a go. Just use an M&S generic glycolic acid at the moment. Have heard really good reviews of this product though. Do you use it every day?

Yes I use it most days but I’ll skip if my skin is feeling a little sensitive

Not sure ill be using this one

Not a good one for me. I use it on my upper arms to get rid of chicken skin bumps. But since I stopped using soaps thats gone. (I use aveeno cleanser or oils now. I'm not a dirty gertie)

A staple for me. Boring but definitely will put to use.

I finished my previous bottle of this a few days ago so it’s good timing for me.

I now consider it a staple too but I’ve never directly purchased it, I just keep getting it in GWPs. Good stuff though. I don’t love the way it smells as it goes on, but that disappears in moments.

It’s niggling at me that the cheery little message doesn’t scan if you imagine singing it to the tune of the actual song.

I use the DE one but this looks great too and I’ll certainly use it when my present one runs out .

I need your help. Traveling this weekend to Europe. Shall I take 3-4 or open them on the way back

Are you flying? And if so, do you have check in? If so, I’d take them with you! It’s only two boxes and it’s fun to open on the day

im flying and checking suitcase. And 4 boxes (Liberty and space nk :))

This is my first Space NK calendar
I defected from Liberty which I’ve had for the last three years
i use the Paula’s choice already but it seems to have made me spottier than ever 🤣
it’s a good, full size first product tho

I am probably going to open mine next year but will read your updates and reviews. Both I and my son loves it so happy with it.

Day 2: Necessaire hand cream, fragrance free, 65ml worth £20

Description:

Hydrate dry hands with Nécessaire The Hand Cream, a skincare treatment that acts as a daily peptide and multi-vitamin moisturiser. With a fast-absorbing formula, this hand cream works to counteract skin dryness as well as eczema.

Rich in vitamins, this hand cream has been formulated with niacinamide, vitamin C, vitamin E, omega-6 and omega-9, as well as peptides to help nourish the skin. Dermatologist tested, it is also hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, making it a suitable choice for sensitive skin.

For best results, Nécessaire The Hand Cream should be massaged into the skin until absorbed. This hand cream has received the Seal of Acceptance from the National Eczema Association. Vegan and cruelty-free, this product has been certified plastic-neutral and climate-neutral.

I’m very happy with today! I love this brand, I have a few of their body products. They focus on formulation and use high quality skincare ingredients. Most of their products are fragrance free but they have a lovely eucalyptus body wash.

Hmmm that’s a tough one! A lot of boxes to carry around with you!

Oh no! That’s not the desired effect! 😬😂
