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

Although the drunk elephant cream has surprised me, I don’t really like it and find it very drying, not moisturising at all. I used it up on my legs after showering.

Costacoffeeplease · 15/12/2023 23:02

I came here to say the same about the drunk elephant moisturiser. Really disappointing

SaltyFulmar · 16/12/2023 00:05

I was a bit sceptical about the lip mask and don’t love a gloss but you’ve encouraged me to try it!

Is it all getting abit samey now?

Costacoffeeplease · 19/12/2023 15:48

No but I’m opening more than one and forget which came from which calendar. Tatcha moisture spray today, which I’m pleased with as I haven’t tried this brand before

EachandEveryone · 19/12/2023 16:00

Oh I got that yesterday I must be a day ahead😂😂

Middleaugust · 19/12/2023 18:47

Finding it dull too and regretting buying it now.

EachandEveryone · 19/12/2023 20:03

Im giving quite abit of it for Xmas presents too many face masks and face creams.

What’s with the glitter under eye balm thing - why would I want glittery bags under my eyes

Middleaugust · 19/12/2023 22:31

Yes too many cleansers. Just feels too samey.

EachandEveryone · 19/12/2023 23:24

Nothing for the shower as yet?

EachandEveryone · 19/12/2023 23:25

Too many hair products and hair only just growing back so I might keep the oil and wrap the rest up.

SaltyFulmar · 20/12/2023 21:19

I’m wishing I’d got John Lewis now! I try not to spoil it ahead of time so don’t look in detail but far too much hair stuff and repeats. Would love a perfume or candle.

EachandEveryone · 20/12/2023 22:01

I would also like a good push shower gel I’m sick of face creams it’s been quite disappointing

SaltyFulmar · 24/12/2023 10:31

Well my face will never be so cleansed or moistened!

I’ll do my research better next year!

Neversaygoodbye · 24/12/2023 11:37

I'm enjoying trying out some luxury products but I definitely think there's a bit of doubling up which is unnecessary. I would have liked to have seen an SPF and a shower gel at least, I think they are staple products. I also don't understand what the point of a shimmery under eye stick is for and with fine thin hair I'm disappointed in receiving a hair oil as well as a mask etc. one of those but definitely don't need both.

Costacoffeeplease · 24/12/2023 14:30

I’m enjoying the eye stick. I’ve actually made a note of it to repurchase plus the Beautypro retinol eye patches

EachandEveryone · 24/12/2023 15:20

Honestly it’s not a patch on last years

SaltyFulmar · 24/12/2023 18:58

Yes an SPF, face mask, either a blusher or bronzer, shower gel, did we get an exfoliator? … a perfume would have been really nice. For the cost, it was just too repetitive on moisturiser and cleansers! Nice to try, but just too many of the same!

EachandEveryone · 24/12/2023 19:26

i think there was at least one face mask? A jet lag one and another after that😃 i wouldve loved a bronzer and a mascarra. Did we even get a handcream? It was full of them last year.

SaltyFulmar · 24/12/2023 22:10

Jet lag was a moisturiser I think?

Gensola · 24/12/2023 22:46

I got a mascara but nothing jet lag related 😬😵‍💫

Middleaugust · 25/12/2023 00:08

There was the Eve Lom mask which seems very good.

Costacoffeeplease · 25/12/2023 18:41

I’d rather have cleansers and moisturisers as those are the things I use most

EachandEveryone · 26/12/2023 16:43

Goodness me, what did that candle smell like?
