John Lewis advent calendar opening thread

[virgocatlover]

Join us for day by day discussion of the JL calendar this December.

Please no spoilers before each day.

Happy with today as I’ve got fine hair and all the Percy and Reed products ve tried I like. I reckon we’ve received about £70 worth of products so far

Yes it's great value so far. I wasn't expecting 4 products in one door!

I'm pleased with today's stash . Also thank you to the pp who's keeping a track of the value of products, it's always good to know .

@Hadenough2022 I think you're right. I googled each item to see how much they are when I opened them in the morning. I'm going to keep a running tally.

Yes I check on the website also I think this morning was about £56

I did a spreadsheet of the cost of everything before buying 😅
I am working between two calendars (this and Space NK), some products I have sold off already and replaced with some extras.
Todays door is Percy & Reed styling cream plus my Hourglass evil eye palette which I got on Black Friday (I did think this should be my Xmas eve treat but I want to use it on the run up to Christmas)

Is today's hair stuff sulfate free?

After yesterday I checked that there were no extra products in the drawer today 😆

Me too 😆

Another brand I like and something I haven’t tried. £28 today which means we’ve had products over half the cost of the calendar in 3 days!

Today's is a Laura Mercier eyeshadow stick in shade sepia which is a matte tan colour (nicer than I've made that sound!)
I really liked the eyeshadow stick in last year's calendar (the Bobbi Brown one) so I'm looking forward to trying this one too.

Happy with todays . I'm not much of an eyeshadow wearer but this is Matt neutral and I would wear it if I'm going out . Also heard good things about these. .

Happy with today's, never tried this.

I sold this one due to the colour, it wouldn’t suit me. I am keen to try LM eye shadow though so would be interested in what you all think of it once you’ve tried it

I think this on is a tad boring, feel like I’ve had a lot of LM or Bobbi Brown sticks in previous calendars or beauty bags in a similar colour. I suppose they have to use a bland colour like this to be ok with most skin and eye colours

Happy with today, a really nice easy to use colour Loving it so far x

At least this one isn't glittery, I found the BB one last year abit sparkly for my maturer eyes . It is difficult I imagine to please everyone with advents, but I'm quite happy to take the chance on not liking everything ( I don't check contents before buying) . I'm just hoping we don't get 2 cbd products again this year .

I liked last year's eye shadow stick because it was a bit glittery as I generally only use them on nights out. Am happy with today's though, as it's something I'll enjoy trying.

Really excited to try this as I've just about run out of my current vit c . And worth £96 !

Today we have a Dermalogica vit c serum. Think this is worth about £38?

Oh yes £96, the smaller one is £38!

Think it’s £95 on the John Lewis website. The first two reviews say it’s great for teenage boys!

This might be one of those products that I hope I don't like, as I'll never be able to re-buy! It does look good though and I could do with a bit of a glow

This is the most expensive product I think? Looking forward to trying it

Yes this is a big hitter. Exciting. Calendar excellent so far IMO.
