Next Beauty Advent 2023 Opening Thread

[Moofart]

I'm sure there's enough of us with the Next calendar for a thread :) Please don't post spoilers before 7am on each day.

Hiya. I got Next as a last minute fomo thing and am opening it just before i go to bed (I have a different one for my morning treat). I’ll be passing on yesterdays Aromatherapy Assoc. bath oil - smells lovely but I never use bath oil stuff as it always gets in my hair.

Ooh, the Inkey List! I’ve tried their Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C & EGF Serum before and liked both so looking forward to using the Peptide Moisturizer now.

I’m pleased with both days so far! This weather has made my skin so dry, so I’m looking forward to using the moisturiser.

I also bought this as a last minute treat. I wasn’t tempted by any of the others this year but was struck by fomo so ordered on 30th November and picked it up yesterday! Very pleased with the first two days. @Talisin you can use the oil in the shower as well, which makes it easier to keep it from
getting in your hair. Looking forward to day 3!

Picking mine up tomorrow. I've had it in my basket for a few days and finally convinced myself this afternoon. Looking forward to joining in!

Yes I used the oil in the shower too as don't often have baths. It was a lovely and invigorating scent. Been happy with today's too as I was out of moisturiser.

I'm very impressed so far: the oil smells lovely, my skin still feels great the day after using the moisturiser and I desperately need to wash my hair so today's is very useful 😆

Great first three days. I was surprised how heavy it was when I picked it up in town. Looking forward to tomorrow morning!

I’ve had the Living Proof dry shampoo a couple of times and am a bit meh about it but I’ve not had the actual shampoo before so this’ll be interesting.

I loved Bad Gal mascara but They're Real gave me conjunctivitis (twice years apart, it wasn't coincidence 😆) so I'm a bit wary of today's product as the brush looks similar to the latter. I'll give it a go though, might keep some cooled salt water on standby...

I used the shampoo this morning and not sure what I think. Hair looks fine but it's made it a little knotty i think. I'll keep using it as it is only a little tube so soon be gone.

I’m a mascara junkie so always happy with another and I like Benefit.

I also tried the shampoo today and quite like it. Can’t say it gave me any extra body but my hair felt and looked nice.

Espa pink hair and scalp mud today. I think this’ll be one for the days between Christmas and New Year when I can lounge around in the bath for hours and experiment with scalp masks and the like.

I was really pleased with today's. Also thinking it's something for the Christmas holidays.

I've stashed away the hair mud for Christmas break too, hoping for a face mask to to do at the same time.

I'm not sure about today's product, has made my skin feel a bit tight and dry (even with the lovely inkey list moisturiser on top).

My skin feels a bit tight too but I'm not sure if it's psychological as I hadn't noticed until you said it :D I will try it again tomorrow and see.

Sorry! It stopped feeling tight not long after I put it on so hopefully just the power of suggestion 😵‍💫

Never tried anything from BeautyPro before so happy to give this a whirl. My only previous brush with squalane was with The Ordinary’s Retinol in Squalane formula which did feel quite hydrating.

Quite like todays offering. Pleasant smell.

Yes I quite like today's too :)

I love Floral Street perfumes. I got the Sunflower Pop in the John Lewis advent calendar last year so was very excited to see this one. I really like it - not too sweet or sickly.

I sprayed some of the perfume on my pyjama sleeve this morning and can still smell it now. It’s lovely!

This is the first Floral Street perfume I’ve come across that I actually like!

Love today's. Perfect for me and something I use already and rate highly!

Yes todays is great for me too! Love it 😊
