I couldn't see an opening thread so here one is. How is it Dec 1st already!

It’s come round so quickly. I’m really happy with todays, I like this brand a lot (Not sure if spoilers are ok on the day!)

Summerdew · 01/12/2023 10:36

Oooh me too but I posted on the general one, love this brand, really suits my skin.

Costacoffeeplease · 01/12/2023 10:46

Pleased with day 1 😊
I think we are allowed to say what it is or post photos

Summerdew · 02/12/2023 07:30

Noting the comments on the buying thread that people want to know, yesterday’s was a full size Barbara Sturm cleanser. Not moved to open today’s yet but will post when I do (as after 7am is apparently ok).

Today is olaplex shampoo and conditioner, pleased with this

EachandEveryone · 02/12/2023 13:18

My hair is short from the chemo so Im not one for using shampoos. I might put it in one of my nieces boxes

Neversaygoodbye · 02/12/2023 13:46

Looking forward to trying the Olaplex. I've moved to shampoo bars which seem ok for my very thin fine hair so I won't use this every day but maybe once a week. I'll be interested to see if it helps with strengthening my hair.

Piccalino3 · 02/12/2023 19:39

I'm please with both day 1 and 2, although I don't think they are exciting. I use the Olaplex anyway so this is a good one for my travel stash. Anyone tried the cleanser from yesterday?

I had a smaller size of the cleanser recently. It’s v foamy so you only need one or two pumps. It’s quite light so better for a morning or second cleanse rather than to take make up off at night

SaltyFulmar · 02/12/2023 22:12

I’m really happy with the first two days. Both brands I like. The Olaplex is something I already use so not exciting as such, but I was running low!

Gensola · 03/12/2023 06:28

Very pleased with day 3! And indeed all the stuff so far 😄

Yes - strong start for space nk
charlotte tilbury quad palette with nice neutrals and one more shimmery

Neversaygoodbye · 03/12/2023 12:11

First time trying Charlotte Tilbury and it's a very nice basic palette.

EachandEveryone · 03/12/2023 12:16

I never know how to but it on properly do you use all four colours?

Neversaygoodbye · 03/12/2023 13:20

I'm sure you can use just one colour if you want but I believe the idea is to use all 4. Lightest colour all over, light brown in the crease & slightly above. Darker brown to define the corner & maybe lash line & sparkle in the lid. That's how I would use it. There's probably a video tutorial.

MyCatsSlave · 04/12/2023 07:33

Really happy with todays Drunk Elephant LaLa Retro whipped cream. Looking forward to trying it. It’s been a strong start for me, the only one I’m not fussed about is the Charlotte Tilbury

Gensola · 04/12/2023 19:30

@MyCatsSlave do you plan to use as a day or a night cream?

MyCatsSlave · 05/12/2023 06:29

I’m going to try it as a night cream, over a serum, but I like a really rich night cream so if it doesn’t feel right I’ll try it in the day.

Costacoffeeplease · 06/12/2023 10:40

Nice hourglass lipstick today. I haven’t tried any of their lipsticks so looking forward to this.

Neversaygoodbye · 06/12/2023 13:25

Wearing the lippy today, it's got good staying power, not drying & is a really nice colour. I don't normally wear a red as I feel like a clown but I think this one looks good.

Neversaygoodbye · 07/12/2023 08:38

Looking forward to trying todays offering, love a good cleansing balm. Day 2 of wearing the new lippy, I'm really loving it. To be honest, I've never given much stick to luxury lipsticks but I might have been converted.

Popcorndoggy · 07/12/2023 19:07

Just lurking ! Had saved up for this then had to spend the money on something else. It looked really good this year. Hope you are all enjoying it!

SaltyFulmar · 15/12/2023 21:26

How are people enjoying the advent? I’m liking it so far. Only a few items I won’t use!

Neversaygoodbye · 15/12/2023 22:17

Really enjoying it although I've got stuff to use up so some of it I won't get to try for a while. Tonight I've just put on the lip sleep mask, been wanting to try it for ages and it's so lush.

TheChosenTwo · 15/12/2023 22:21

Really enjoying it so far but I did check very carefully before buying it as I have bought too many over the years just because I didn’t want to miss out on not having one only
to end up never using a lot of it and giving it away.
So I knew before buying that this one had only 2 days I think that I definitely wouldn’t use, the eyeshadow palette and then another one we haven’t opened yet so won’t spoil it just in case not everyone knows what in it!
loved the lip stuff today, I’ve got those lip balms in so many flavours, the pencil is a nice colour and the kosas is so pretty!
