I love today’s items!

@countdowntonap my hair is the same, I used it last night and it was really good. The smell is amazing.

Happy with the blusher I needed a new one. Second mirror after one in the beauty drop I think I prefer this one nice pattern

Gnomegnomegnome · 09/12/2023 09:11

@Hadenough2022 agreed! Although I’m just going to have one in my work bag and one in my every day bag.

Fatlegs46 · 09/12/2023 09:31

Today’s is nice! Will regift one of the mirrors as I got the beauty drop one too.

Buster27 · 09/12/2023 09:48

Blusher looks good, but I don't seem to have a mirror. Will get my husband to check the other drawers when he gets home!

Hadenough2022 · 09/12/2023 10:10

Good idea!

Jellycats4life · 09/12/2023 10:40

I love getting make up in advent calendars, although I know retailers shy away from it because it’s hard to cater for all skin tones.

This blush looks nice and the packaging is really luxurious. Thumbs up!

BIossomtoes · 09/12/2023 10:47

The blusher’s great, beautifully natural looking. On the other hand, not another bloody twee mirror!

Growlybear83 · 09/12/2023 11:13

Im disappointed with today's drawer. The mirror is ok but not as pretty as the one in the recent beauty drop, but I never use blusher, so it's another thing for the charity box.

PomsRun · 09/12/2023 11:16

@Growlybear83 Im going to put mine on vinted. I’ll do a Christmas food shop for the local
food bank instead.

listsandbudgets · 09/12/2023 11:23

Never use blusher.. DDs stocking is going to be phenomenal this year so far bracelet, mascara, blusher and i've got a feeling there will be lipstick at some pointn as well.

Now I want a splash if something fragrant.. tomorrow???

Did everyone get the same shade of blusher? Mine looks quite brown so not sure if it would suit my pasty winter skin. But it's a cream so probably not ideal for summer either? The case is lovely.

It’s beautiful. Use it with a light touch and there’s no brown at all, the colour in the pan is very deceptive.

I got excited seeing 2 items today as it's my birthday but I won't use the blusher as I like my old staple. For the mirror I need magnifying at that size so will gift it on.

Gnomegnomegnome · 09/12/2023 11:59

Happy birthday @Isabelle70 !

The blush is exactly the right colour for me.

clowniform · 09/12/2023 12:01

After a bit of googling the blush seems to look wildly different on different skintones from tawny brown to light peach! I don't routinely wear makeup other than lipstick anyway so should probably pass it on in its pristine state.

Happy birthday! Cake I think December birthdays should get a full month to celebrate so you've many chances yet 😁

Ploppppppppp · 09/12/2023 12:12

How do we use it as a lip colour?x

pattyparsnip · 09/12/2023 12:14

Really like this blusher, I usually use Bobbi brown powder pink and I'm down to the pan so this is a great replacement.

Dab with finger? Lip brush? Either would work.

Everyone should use blusher

Jellycats4life · 09/12/2023 15:43

Tried the blush today and the texture is really different! I have a few cream blushes (apparently they’re better for ageing skin) and this one has an almost mousse-like texture.

According to the Liberty blurb it is “Infused with a blend of skin-quenching squalane, protective vitamin E and barrier-strengthening ceramides, this two-in-one lip and cheek tint is where skin care meets makeup”.

The compact is refillable too. The shade is definitely more tawny brown/peach compared with the cool pinks and mauves I usually go for, but it’s nice to have something different.

Jellycats4life · 09/12/2023 15:45

And the compact has a mirror - I hadn’t noticed the protective film!

FizzyLaser · 09/12/2023 15:47

Just looked at the box and the colour is called daylily

Ploppppppppp · 09/12/2023 16:34

@Jellycats4life Doh I didn’t realised it was a cream blusher it looked like a powder when I looked at it.
