@EachandEveryone Thanks for the spoiler, I’m not coming on this thread for a while now. How hard is it to stick to the no spoilers until 7

This is delicious! Might be overpowering for some but it’s a beautiful, sweet, tropical scent.

All good @EachandEveryone Simple mistake, was bound to happen at some stage!

This was another one of the products that made me choose this calendar. I've had the Bom Dia Bright cream a few times but never the original and I know it's a firm favourite of lots of people.

Reviews often mention the delicious scent and I've only sniffed it in the pot so far but it reminds me a little bit of the Body Shop Almond Milk and Honey Body Butter/Yoghurt which is one of my favourite scents so that's all good.

It came as a bit of a shock for me with menopause that suddenly I went from never having to use body moisturiser to having to slather it all over, every day, to avoid constantly dry, flaky and itchy skin on my legs and arms. I go through lots of body lotion therefore and any new options are always welcome.

I think I’m probably one of the very few that doesn’t like this 😂 the smell gives me a headache but no worries there’s always a couple of misses I find in the ACs

Tbh I hate the 7 am spoiler rule. If people want to avoid spoilers until 7 then come after.

Jeez I get up for work and jump in the shower that have coffee. I’m sorry I never knew this was a rule.

All good @EasterIssland , not a big deal!

BTW I didn’t edit the title of the thread, the MN team must have!

Oops I mean @EachandEveryone

Happy with today’s. It’s a staple for me.

I don’t tend to use cream so not sure whether another one for my sister

Can you use it on your face?

Love the bum bum cream . Love the scent and it is so moisturising. A little goes a long way.
Also tried the laura mercier eye caviar and like it more than I thought! Not a lot of colour but just enough to make it look like I have made an effort .

Terrible !!!
Bye bye pussy cat!

@TheDuchessOfMN That's an interesting question. It's not intended for facial use as far as I'm aware and for me I think it would be too heavily scented to want to put it on my face - not just for the smell but also the risk of irritation. As long as your skin isn't too sensitive though I would have thought there's no reason not to? Disclaimer - I'm not a skincare expert 😂

Oh that hair cream was rubbish I thought. I have curly prone to frizzes and its not a patch on the Lush hair cream.

So who’s going to take one for the team and try it on their face, right before Christmas? 🤣

I ve got other real creams from the calendars this year and my la met 30ml still has got around 20ml left after a month or so , so doubt I’ll need anything specially as big as this one

I always thought this cream was for the bum bum to have a Brazilian bum… yeah I shouldn’t always believe what I think :D

I’m with @CurlyFerret, I don’t like the scent of this. It’s all right to begin with, if a bit overpowering, but after it dries down it smells cheap and nasty on me. Like something from a 1980s teen fragrance line. And still overpowering, so there’s no point wearing actual perfume.

I know I’m in a minority though. Must be something in my personal chemistry that doesn’t work with it.

Interesting one today! I always get given this one in samples but smaller size I believe

The sizes are really annoying me now, tbh.

This is a really good day for me, I love both these products. I find the DDG peeling wipes really effective and also incredibly handy for travelling. The SR CEO is a good Vitamin C product for my skin too as I can find some Vitamin Cs are a bit drying but this one is lovely and rich and hydrating. Very happy today 😀
