Very happy with this, and a great size. Hoorah!

TheRealMummyPig · 11/12/2022 11:32

I'm excited to try this - it was one of the products that drew me towards this calendar over others.

panko · 11/12/2022 11:44

This looks like an amazing calendar

MyCatsSlave · 11/12/2022 13:57

So happy with today, It’s something I already use and love

Day 12, Space NK Voyage Body Wash, 350ml, £14

Energise your mind while calming the body with this gently foaming body wash, made with uplifting adaptogen ashwaghanda along with agave extracts and jojoba esters which work to soothe and soften the skin.

Voyage’s transportive scent is reminiscent of a dreamy holiday in warm, far-off shores and includes fragrance notes of mandarin, coconut & sandalwood.

This bottle is made using 40% post-consumer recycled plastic and is 100% recyclable. Because our pumps are harder to recycle, we encourage you to reuse these by either refilling your original bottles at one of our refill stations in selected Space NK stores*, or you can purchase a refill bottle online and attach your original pump.

*Refill stations are available in Regents Street, Kings Cross, St. Johns Wood, Northcote Road, Parsons Green and Bath.

Not the most exciting but it’s a decent size and I’ll get good use out of it. Happy with today!

Happy with this one. Great size. I was pleasantly surprised by their hand wash so looking forward to this.

EasterIssland · 12/12/2022 09:35

Meh. Wish it wasn’t own brands

rubyslippers · 12/12/2022 14:17

Overall I’m happy with the products and that so many are full size
for me a big improvement on Liberty calendar already
the body wash sounds lush. Not tried Space NK own brands but happy to give this a go

bigdecisionstomake · 12/12/2022 17:21

This is an 'OK' day for me. Not terribly exciting but a good staple that will get used at some point.

MyCatsSlave · 12/12/2022 22:22

I used todays as a bubble bath and it was fab. It smells great and left my skin really soft.

EasterIssland · 13/12/2022 07:44

For those with fake eyelashes not good :) will give this one to my sister

Zoetrope1 · 13/12/2022 08:52

@EasterIssland not for me either but at least it’s not a high value item!

I love a new mascara to try so not a 100% drawer of disappointment but the size is so teeny! I guess there have to be some low value items to balance out the big ticket items...

Zoetrope1 · 13/12/2022 09:21

@bigdecisionstomake definitely! and I heard this is a really good brand too?

MyOtherCarIsAHearse · 13/12/2022 11:05

The size is ridiculous. I’m really not impressed with this calendar this year.

TheRealMummyPig · 13/12/2022 12:04

Bit disappointed with today's offering. I don't know the brand and it's a tiny size. Hopefully something more impressive tomorrow!

rubyslippers · 13/12/2022 17:50

Love Rare Beauty. Their liquid blush is 😍
but yes the size of the gift today is poor
but will try as really rate the brand

TheDuchessOfMN · 13/12/2022 17:51

I love the calendar so far. I thoroughly checked the contents before I bought it, so I knew to expect the odd teeny sized product.

Eirepopcorn · 13/12/2022 19:29

Last 2 days not great. Own brand body wash and an insy winsy teeny tiny mascara. Maybe it’s a single use one as I doubt it will last any longer. Going for Cult Beauty next year.

PacificState · 13/12/2022 19:50

I can always use a black mascara, it's the one product I always wear (if I'm wearing make up at all). Don't usually like shower gels - i'm a soap woman - but this one smells of Je Reviens or one of those very soft '70s florals - smells exactly like my mum, in a good way, so I'm unusually happy with that one.

Day 13, Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara, 3ml sample size (tiny), worth £3.22

I love a tiny mascara. Great for travel and you're meant to chuck them every so often anyway.

Twinsandsome · 13/12/2022 22:08

On a separate note if you are on the market for a lip liner this lip liners by this brand are up there with the best I love them so much x

EasterIssland · 14/12/2022 08:36

Nice size cleanser. I’ve got a few sachets of this brand and really like them

bigdecisionstomake · 14/12/2022 17:21

Never used this brand before and not sure if it is a foaming face wash to be rinsed off in the shower or better wiped off with a flannel. Was hoping for @Zoetrope1 to do one of her lovely helpful product summaries to help me decide! Will have to go off and Google...

Zoetrope1 · 14/12/2022 18:00

@bigdecisionstomake hahaha sorry I’ve been a bit slack today! looks great to me too!
