John Lewis advent calendar opening thread

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

Please no spoilers before each day.

I agree, it's great and seems as good as those £50+ more. Hopefully they haven't put all the expensive items in the first doors though!

Haha I was thinking that too!
Even if they have tho…still good

I tried it this morning - it's really lovely!

Okay, was very excited to get the Dermalogica serum. I’ve tried it tonight, it’s nice, but smells and feels the same as my Sunday Riley dupe from Aldi… I’ll keep going, as I’m sure it’ll work better than the dupe. Maybe I hope it’s no different long term so I can save myself from an expensive splurge!

Today we have a small Kate Somerville goat milk cleanser. I've been wanting to try this and a handy travel size.

something I’ve not tried. Travel size costs £10!

One of my favourite cleansers. Finished up a full size earlier in the year so good to have some more.

Not tried this before so looking forward to trying, a bit small though.

I’ve tried this one before in free samples so was glad to get it. Shame it’s not a bigger size but not too expensive to repurchase

This is a nice enough cleanser. It’s been in a few calendars or GWPs.

Disappointed with this one . Feel like this should have been doubled up with something else . Worth £4 .

It's a bit meh. The kind of thing you get in a beauty box. Looking forward to something a bit more exciting!

The first DoD. I'm never a fan of one use mask things.

Yep very disappointing and poor value, I had hoped something else was underneath it. Will regift x

Not the best drawer I’ll use it but I never think they make much difference. Hopefully better things tomorrow

Yep that was definitely a DoD! Hopefully that means tomorrow will be a goodie 🤞🏻

Today we have Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil.

I've never used this before. Are you supposed to use it on its own or follow with moisturiser?

I’ve had this in a previous calendar. I let it sink in then I use a moisturiser

I've used this before - it's lovely. You use it after cleansing, but before serum and moisturiser.

Much happier with today's! The bottle is beautiful too

Love this oil I think I got it in the liberty AC last year, very happy x

Looking forward to using this, any Sunday Riley things I’ve used in the past have been lovely.

Love Sunday Riley; looking forward to trying this.

Let’s hope I don’t like this as a full size 50ml is £160!!! So this little 15ml is nearly £50 worth

It smells divine and is lovely to use. Very happy x
