Nothing in my drawer! But realise I had todays on Day 7 and never received the roller ball one (Aromatherapy). Have emailed

LittleBearPad · 17/12/2023 11:12

I can’t work out what to do with the clips. They remind me of school.

Buster27 · 17/12/2023 11:24

Like the clips more than I expected, will be handy. I'm not generally a hair oil fan but I got one in my other AC that I'm liking, so will keep an open mind. Will take me ages to finish then first one though so will be a while until I actually try this one!

clowniform · 17/12/2023 11:34

@giadaros Yes the lipstick smells/tastes perfumey to me too. Like an old-school cosmetic scent.

Today's is meh. Hair clips will join the bracelet in DN10's stocking. Seems like this year's hair stuff is all best suited to textured and dry/damaged so far, rather than fine (are we so unusual?)

Bluemacaroons · 17/12/2023 11:51

One of my clips was broken too, but rubbish for a high end calendar. The hair oil is really nice though

LadyHester · 17/12/2023 12:22

Another rather pointless day for those of us with no hair.

Orcadianrythyms · 17/12/2023 13:14

One of my clips ( the square one ) was broken. This was one of my empty drawers, so had emailed but it turned up in the drawer which was supposed to be the hair mask. Which isn’t in any of the remaining drawers but I can’t email again.
The replacement sent out was the clips but not the hair oil! It’s been a shambles but I don’t have any more complaining in me😞I think I’ll try another brand next year.

I love the lipstick- wasn’t keen when I opened it but it’s lovely on.

listsandbudgets · 17/12/2023 13:32

Hair oil is useful. I've not had any for a while as I run out towards the end of November and decided to wait on the hope some would turn up in the AC. It smells lovely too so happy with that

No quite sure what to do with the clips - sorry to those that like them but in my opinion they're ugly. DD would be insulted if I put them in her stocking - suppose I can use them to keep rest of hair away if I've got a nasty tangle to get out - otherwise not for me. I've not had many misses in the AC so done pretty well so far.

SarahC50 · 17/12/2023 15:25

I'm finding my winter skin has never looked better and it is down to all these gorgeous products. It is introducing me to expensive tastes. I might have to go back to the JL advent calendar next year! However for now I am really enjoying clear,plump skin x

Jellycats4life · 17/12/2023 17:13

I’m not a hairclip kind of person, so I think I’ll be using these to keep my hair out of my face while I’m using a face mask or something.

Gnomegnomegnome · 17/12/2023 17:54

I shouldn’t say it as it’s tempting fate but I’ve liked everything so far!

Bimblesalong · 17/12/2023 19:03

A miss for me today on both fronts but have done pretty well up to now. They’re trying to please a range of people and not everything will be amazing I guess.

wizzywig · 17/12/2023 19:30

Maybe the hair oil can be used as an overnight treatment?

Jellycats4life · 18/12/2023 07:26

This is fine. Not very exciting, but fine. I have tubes of hand cream everywhere because I can never remember to use it.

Verden fragrances are lovely though, so I’m sure this one will be pleasant to use.

Boring one for me today. Hate hand cream

Yeknom · 18/12/2023 08:37

I've been waiting for a handcream so very happy!

listsandbudgets · 18/12/2023 09:04

I've got quite a bit of hand cream but that's ok because I wash my hands quite often - I always have some by the basin, always put some on in the morning and often put some on if my hands feel dry or chapped in the cold.

I've not been impressed with the verden body / hand cream we got in the BD as it just won't sink in so hopefully this one is a better experience

Buster27 · 18/12/2023 11:46

I have loads of hand cream (and actually got one I prefer the look of in my other AC today too) so not an exciting one for me.

casuarinatree · 18/12/2023 12:42

@listsandbudgets I have a massive bottle of the Verden hand/ body cream and I really dislike it because it is so much effort to get it to sink in!

Gnomegnomegnome · 18/12/2023 18:04

Not exciting but I’ll use it. I want to smell it but don’t want to open it before I’ve used a few others up!

clowniform · 18/12/2023 22:02

Not enamoured of the Verden creams either. Somehow despite staying tacky for ages they're not even particularly nourishing. This one does smell lovely though.

Hadenough2022 · 19/12/2023 07:03

Another large drawer with something small in. However I like it. I haven’t particularly liked the other Le Labo perfumes before but I like this. £74 is a lot for a small amount

Jellycats4life · 19/12/2023 07:26

Another pricey one this morning! A liquid balm perfume is just a fancy rollerball isn’t it?

Le Labo feels like a quintessential Liberty brand. I remember when they launched. Thumbs up. Fingers crossed I like it.

Oh I thought it was a lip balm! Good job I came here first.
I was disappointed by the small product in large drawer.

PacificState · 19/12/2023 08:02

Big fan of the le labo balm. I don’t usually like rose perfumes but this has a lovely mild, comforting smell.
