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.

Looking forward to trying this. I’ve also got a sample of the pro-collagen night cream, not sure what the difference is.

Tried the Dermalogica serum this morning, it’s lovely. Probably won’t be repurchasing though if it’s £96!

Really happy with this drawer. So far, this calendar is brilliant!

Did everyone else get the Ellemis Pro- Collagen overnight matrix? According to beautyadventcalendar.net, it should have been the Morning matrix. I've thrown out the box sleeve now so can't check what was listed in the contents.
I'm not complaining at all, I think I'd rather have the night cream! Just wondering if everyone got the same?

I got the overnight one.

Yes I got the overnight too

Interesting, I just checked the original listing on the John Lewis website and it said it should be a day cream. I also got the night cream

Night cream for me too. I use Elemis day cream anyway so I’m happy with a night one

Must have been a change to contents at some point then. Like I say, I'm really not complaining as this looks lovely

Maybe it was just an error on their part when they listed the contents. It wouldn't be the first time!

I prefer getting the night one since the day ones aren't as useful to me if they're not with SPF

Disappointing for me, I'll regift the pillow spray x

I don't mind the pillow spray, I don't have any at the moment so will use.

I didn't get Elemis yesterday, I got a make up product.. I won't say which in case you all get it later on... I'm disappointed as I love Elemis. Should I message them do you think?

Not a great fan of pillow sprays. Definitely would not pay £40 but I will try it in the hope it helps me sleep

Maybe the doors have been mixed around and you will get it in another day?

Pillow spray is a bit meh for me - I have one on the go from The Sanctuary that I hardly ever use, so not sure I'll get round to using this one! Might regift it.

When I get the calendar I always open each drawer and check by putting my hand in there is something in there as I once had an empty drawer. It may have been mixed up with another days

I love a pillow spray! I'm enjoying this advent calendar I'm pleased with everything so far

I've had a little look in the other drawers but tried to do it without having a proper look at the products if that makes sense, just tried to peek if they were Elemis shaped! It doesn't look like there's one in there.

It's a tube if that helps, not the round pot.

Today we have the Sol de Janeiro bum bum cream. I do like this so don't mind it, but it seems to be everywhere these days. I'll keep this for summer.

I've been wanting to try this as it seems to be everywhere! It smells lovely.

I've also never tried this! What does it smell like? I don't want to take the seal off to sniff as I may pass on to a teenage niece. Is it very sweet or coconutty?

I've got a jealous 11 year old this morning. She loves this stuff .

No it’s not coconut smell it’s quite fragrant but only had a quick try. It seemed pleasant
