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

Please no spoilers before each day.

Murad eye serum . I'm looking forward to using this . The reviews look positive and for fine lines and puffiness. 89 pounds on cult beauty.

Oh dear hope there’s some left

The eye serum was one of the reasons I picked this calendar hopefully it will make a difference. I’ve never tried retinol near my eyes before I’m guessing it’s lower strength

This is good timing because I’m currently using a sample of the Murad retinol, so now I’ve got the matching eye cream too.

This is one of the products that swayed me towards this calendar, so I’m looking forward to trying it. I also purchased the night cream so I can try them together

I really like the Ghost perfume and the bottle looks pretty on my dressing table.
I used the Sunday Riley sleep oil last night. I don't look 21 yet but it smells and feels lovely, a real treat on dry winter skin.

I'm going to be sensible with today's and add it to the sell/swap pile without trying. I don't really get in with lipstick. I prefer lip oil or gloss during the day and love Clinique Black Honey when I want something a bit more lipsticky, so I suspect I'd try this once and realise it's not for me which would be a waste. Never mind!

I like todays at first I thought it might be too pink . But looks more nude /natural on me .

Looking forward to trying this, I really like mac lipsticks..looks a nice shade

I am pleased with this lipstick not a shade I would normally pick but actually looks and feels nice

Apologies for lurking but I’ve been enjoying your calendar at a distance. Can I ask please which lipstick you got? It sounds really nice and a good shade for me possibly

I don't wear lipstick so I think I'll swap/sell or regift this. First DoD for me, so that's pretty good going!

Todays is another hit for me! One of the products I really wanted.
I’m also loving yesterdays eye serum so far! Used it last night and again this morning, I can really see I difference. I’m hoping after 2 weeks use my fine lines will have completely disappeared 😁

Pleased with today's too! This is a really lovely soft scent

I've been looking forward to today's gift. It's lovely

DOD for me, I don't like this brand, I bought a mini sampler pack and none of the scents lasted at all. Still using the lovely delina perfume, considering splurging.

When does the swap thread start? X

Looking forward to trying the lipstick; think the shade might be quite nice on.

Tried the perfume today; I quite liked it! And it looks pretty sitting on my dresser.

Ooh this is lovely. Love all the perfumes so far!

I didn’t get on with the Floral Street discovery set either (apart from Arizona Bloom, which is lovely). I do like this fragrance though and the other Van Gogh one, Sunflower Pop.

Sweet Almond Blossom is really nice in candle form too.

@Hadenough2022 ooh that looks like a gorgeous, wearable lipstick. Thank you very much for the picture

Happy with today's. I love baths and this has good reviews.

Not very keen on bath oils but I’ll try this

Happy with today too. I love baths so this will definitely get used
I looked it up, value is £28 so should be a nice one x

I've used this before and it's very good. A generous size too as you don't need to add much to the bath.

Love this bath oil a tiny bit goes a long way. I had a bath this afternoon and it was lovely x
