Haven't opened the calendar for four days, opened today, and I've got two bloody elastisizers. I never use them, and so annoyed that I have two. Just need to find out what it was supposed to be, don't remember which window.

How weird, we haven't had a single Elasticizer yet!

Nah not liking todays box (9), will give this away....

TheBelmont · 09/12/2022 07:13

I opened todays on the 6th by mistake so had all the disappointment then…peach is not a colour that suits me! However every cloud and all that….I got my conditioner today and will use that with the shampoo this weekend.

First miss for me though (and actually had it been in a more flattering colour for me, it would have been a hit).

Neversaygoodbye · 09/12/2022 07:21

Looks lovely but on my cool toned pale complexion this one is my first miss too. Will pass it on to DD as she seems to get away with this colour tone better than me.

TokyoSushi · 09/12/2022 07:21

You're not tempting me to get out of bed this morning! Grin

HollyHocks13 · 09/12/2022 07:34

Todays is lovely but unfortunately not my colour. Will give it to my daughter instead who it will really suit.

ApolloandDaphne · 09/12/2022 07:56

I love todays one. It is exactly the right colour for me.

MrsWidgerysLodger · 09/12/2022 07:56

Not the colour for me which is a shame as last year's was lovely and really suited me. If anyone would like mine then please shout up

Surely it’s shampoo and conditioner. Same brand as elasticizer but not same products.

Todays a bit meh. But inevitable it doesn’t suit everyone/anyone . Best to stick to non make up well except mascara which I love to get.

Sluj · 09/12/2022 08:26

It's very orange πŸ˜†

TokyoSushi · 09/12/2022 08:33

Oh what a shame! We got one of these last year in plum, it was absolutely lovely! The peach, not so much...

StretchedCanvas · 09/12/2022 08:55

Love today’s, love the colour! Great to have something different from the usual burgundy or bright red! Very happy πŸ˜ƒ

lbnblbnb · 09/12/2022 09:06

Only just found this thread.
Today's colour won't suit me (cool toned skin) but will put it aside for DD when she comes home for Christmas (next Monday! Wooo hoo!).

Have loved pretty much everything else.

HollyHocks13 · 09/12/2022 09:49

Actually I don't ale back what I said earlier about the colour not suiting me... I just tried it on and it looks lovely. That's what I love about this calendar, you get a chance to try things you never usually would. I never would have picked this colour in a million years but I was wrong!

HollyHocks13 · 09/12/2022 09:50
  • take it back
FB546 · 09/12/2022 09:53

Hello, can I join you?

Accepting I also got days 6 and 9 mixed up, I am quite pleased with today's orangey red lippy. Overall, enjoying my first AC. I'll use everything at some point but keeping the hair product for holidays next year.

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 09/12/2022 10:41

I didn't think I was going to like today's, but it looks lovely on. I like the bit of sparkle.

Movinghouseatlast · 09/12/2022 11:12

This is the same cour as the one from the summer beauty box. I doesn't suit me but I will give it to my friend. It's the first miss for me, I've loved everything else.

TokyoSushi · 09/12/2022 14:35

Yes agree, it actually doesn't look too bad on!

happyharpy78 · 09/12/2022 18:04

It looks ok on me if I put it on then wipe it off!🀣

rothbury · 09/12/2022 19:37

I have been so happy with everything so far, but there is no way I could get away with the colour of the lip pencil today.

I don't have any elasticiser either...

notanicepersonapparently · 09/12/2022 20:13

An update on the last few days. We had reached Β£82 on day 6. Then we got the Nuxe Merveillance lift powdery cream 15ml which would be Β£12. I’m looking forward to trying this. It’s a new brand for me.
Day 8 was the Lumene Nordic Sleeping cream 15 ml. Worth Β£7 based on the Look fantastic price. I’ve been using this one already and like it but don’t love it. The lip shine costs Β£10. I’ve not tried this on yet but I think I would probably wear it in the Summer as I switch over to purples in the winter. Adding it all up comes to Β£111.

TheBelmont · 10/12/2022 06:03

@notanicepersonapparently thanks for keeping tally!

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 10/12/2022 06:55

Another one I can't use today!
