Vogue Advent Calendar 2023 Opening Thread

[HollyGolightly4]

No spoilers before 7AM please.

Happy opening everyone!

I shall try it tonight @ACAC2023 and report back

The blusher is very subtle on me but I thought it gave a nice glow. Will use it tonight as going out for dinner. Excited for tomorrow!

Hi ACAC, i really liked the cleansing balm tonight and my skin appreciated it! The smell of roses does linger after - but I like it. It's not strong - very subtle smell.

@SunMootStars Thank you for the update, it does look lovely. I usually use Emma Hardie Morninga Cleansing Balm which looks v similar without the rose scent 🙂

I'm happy with the REN toning oil today! I love the fact it is in a glass bottle.

@ACAC2023 Agree with Sun, I tried the balm last night and it was really lovely. It is very rosy I would say but doesn’t linger afterwards.

Tried the Ren oil this morning - like it. My skin is dry as a crisp atm but I’m always too cold to put on my freezing cold moisturising cream. The oil is relatively warm so problem solved!

Agree Holly, the glass bottle makes it feel a treat!

That's good to know @WeAreBorg .

I'm currently having work done on the house, so my life is in disarray and I'm yet to try out most of the products (too much plaster around 😅)

I think I must have opened the wrong drawer 😂. I’ll have to double check later, I thought it was 7th today!!

No surprises this morning @ACAC2023 🤣 although did you get just the mask in yours? I thought I saw you got cream as well

I just had a mask today. Not my type of thing but looks pretty enough

Yes, sorry about spoiling it. I’ll check the date from now on!! The night cream was from my Lumene Calendar

Haha it's not a bother! That's ok then ☺️ they looked a perfect combo

Barbara Sturm eye cream - I dont bother with eye cream usually but happy to give this one a go!

Happy with an eye cream to go with the face day cream we got during the week! Only just finished my Sunday Riley eye cream from last year's Liberty AC!

Definitely DOD for me today, really don’t like the earrings. Trying to figure out if I could give them away?

Oh no. I admit they're not my typical style, but I'm thinking they might look nice with a crisp white shirt!

I really like them - the jewellery was one of the reasons (amongst many) that I went for this calendar. I’m sure lots of people would love them as a gift @ACAC2023 !

I also like how the products are nicely alternated. Remember the Liberty one last year had seven exfoliators in a row (I exaggerate slightly), I still haven’t got through all of them

Actually I’ve retracted some of my enthusiasm - if they’re gold plated brass I won’t be able to wear them. I’ve tried to contact Sophie Lis (sounds too much like syphillis for my liking) and I can’t get past the bot detector

anyone know what materials they are?

@WeAreBorg On this Instagram post, someone asks - the brand says they are gold-plated silver.

Oh wow thank you so much! I shall try them out tomorrow, exciting!

You're welcome, I wondered the same 😊

Happy with today’s offering. I love getting expensive moisturisers to try, as I’d never buy them full price🙂.

My skin feels very winter dry, so I read the description for today and got very excited!

Ooh yes it sounds lovely. My usual moisturiser has just ran out so excited about trying this one tonight!
Love this calendar so much

My skin is so dry I’ve been using weleda on my face - yes the stuff normal humans use on their elbows 😂
