Only just opened mine but really happy with day 1. Nice to kick off with 2 products.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 01/12/2022 20:07

Thanks @countdowntonap Xmas Smile

imp2007 · 01/12/2022 21:12

Super pleased with Day 1 used both products straight away! Loved the Venn product from a previous year - so ££££ though!

EasterIssland · 01/12/2022 21:14

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

I’ve got a bottle of Autocorrect on the go at the moment and I really like it. The tube is much more compact than the bottle they sell although it contains the same amount of product – much better for my makeup bag. The Origins GinZing eye cream gives a very similar brightening effect if anyone wants a cheaper alternative!

Talisin · 02/12/2022 05:37

Hmm, I shall wait till I’m going to be in all day before trying today’s - never quite trust how this sort of thing will work on me.

@EasterIssland I’d take with but stick them in a bag without looking what they are and then lucky dip them.

SunshineBoy · 02/12/2022 05:52

I like today’s offering. Smells lovely and I’ve used some straight away so it’ll e interested how it fares.

Yeknom · 02/12/2022 07:25

Morning - I'm new here and hoping to look 10 years younger come Christmas Day even though I'm clueless. Todays product - is it for wet or dry hair?

shinny · 02/12/2022 07:26

I’ve got very similar products in both my ACs today - very odd. Not overly keen on them either.

Lotsofpots · 02/12/2022 07:35

I love this product. I use both the oil and the milk (milk is AMAZING) and really rate them, along with a few other products by the brand.

@Yeknom you can use it either way. On damp hair before styling, and/or a little bit when dry for smoothing etc

Yeknom · 02/12/2022 07:36

Thanks @Lotsofpots that is really helpful! I'm sure I'll be back with more questions before advent is out!

countdowntonap · 02/12/2022 07:42

This will be the second item
i try from Davines. I love the milk as it smells amazing. @Talisin will also be trying this when I have no where to do immediately after.

AnneShirleysNewDress · 02/12/2022 07:52

I love the Davines milk and repurchased after getting it in the beauty box so looking forward to trying this.

BurningTheToast · 02/12/2022 07:55

I tried the Davines hair milk after it came in the Beauty Drop box but wouldn't repurchase as I couldn't see that it did anything for my fine, menopausal hair. Other people loved it though.

Can't say that I'm enthusiastic about this oil today as it's the last thing my hair needs. A Drawer of Disappointment for me I'm afraid but Davines products are well-loved so I'm sure it will be greeted with joy by others.

EasterIssland · 02/12/2022 08:10

One for eBay from me (I also have the milk which I don’t like)

notanicepersonapparently · 02/12/2022 08:46

This is a new product for me. I love it. I’ve got that frizzy hair that absorbs moisture from the air so I do like to use some sort of serum on it. My husband says it looks like I’ve just come back from the hairdressers. I’m hoping that isn’t just a one off.

Sameiam · 02/12/2022 08:56

Can’t go wrong with hair oil! My hair both tends towards frizzy and dry and is quite bleached. Will see whether I notice any difference after washing it later

Fleecy · 02/12/2022 09:48

I've not tried the oil before, but I've had the milk and like it as a leave in detangler which doesn't weigh my fine hair down. I think I'll try the oil on flyaways and to slick and shine my hair when I put it in a bun.

Shayisgreat · 02/12/2022 13:22

I used it today and it has given my hair a nice shine. The smell is the main attraction for me though - so good!

dazzlingdeborahrose · 02/12/2022 13:24

Happy this morning. I use the OI shampoo and conditioner so happy with the oil. Tried the autocorrect. Not sure. I have the Ginzeng that a previous poster mentioned and I'm not sure the autocorrect is that much better.

Blossomtoes · 02/12/2022 14:24

I love the hair milk and, having tried the oil this morning I’m a convert to that too. The eye cream’s OK but not good enough for me to buy it. Same with the Venn serum or whatever it is.

TriciaMcMillan · 02/12/2022 16:28

Interested to see what effect the hair spray has. Already have a keratin treatment with my hairdresser which does pretty much everything I need. Smells good though...

marmiteadict · 02/12/2022 16:43

Used the hair oil today. Really liked it as it made my hair really smooth- will wait to see if turns hair greasier than usual as time goes on.

Really liked the SR eye cream but I love their products in general.

Probably won't repurchase the Venn as £'s and although nice not worth if to me

Darkrainbow · 03/12/2022 08:20

Well that oil smells gorgeous
