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

Please no spoilers before each day.

I’ve just run a bath with a small amount it’s certainly a potent smell

I've been looking forward to today's! I love a lip oil and I've just run out of my favourite Clarins one. This looks and feels more like a gloss to me but it's pretty on, clear and a tiny bit shimmery

Ooh two things .
I'm thinking of buying a primer so happy with today's offerings.

I completely missed the primer! What a wally!
I'm not sure about the whole glass skin thing for me...might regift this to teenage niece. Always lovely to get two products in a drawer though!

Happy with today’s two items the lip oil feels more like a lip gloss but anything moisturising is good for me.

Nice to have 2 products!

I'm not a fan of blush and I have several, so I'll try and sell or gift this.

Is it just me or is it a rubbish colour? Can't see it at all!

It's very pale isn't it? I really like the Nars blusher from last years calendar and have been using it all year but I think this will just be too pale for me. Another score for teenage niece though!

I'd have liked a full size blush, it's a bit small to use effectively. But hopefully the pale colour will work for me as I'm pale. Though probably not a very universal colour.

Oooh, yes, loved the Nars blusher from last year's AC; still using it for nights out.

Will have to see what this one looks like on later.

Agree this looks pale and small!

Seem more of a highlighter than a blush . I've passed it on to my daughter.

I've had something totally different in mine today. Not sure whether I should say what it is in case it spoils a later door for you all.

Don't like today's offering teeny and far too pale.

I tried it on today and it was completely invisible

This is a bit of a meh one for me. There's a hotel I used fairly frequently for work that has these in their bathrooms so that's the association for me. It's nice enough body wash but not much of a wow.

I can't get too excited about a shower gel but practical I suppose.

Is anyone else tempted to just open the remaining doors now?

Yeah I'm tempted . Think I'm going to open 25 on 24th as my excuse is I'll be so busy on Christmas Day

Today’s is ok it will get used. It smells nice

Happy with todays . I've been getting very dry lips so like a lip balm .

I'm happt with today's too. I'm a bit fan of 8 hour cream so it's nice to be able to try it in this format.

This is fine, practical if not very exciting!

Nope, going to be good .
Will also swap/buy theread open or will that start on here after 25th?

I'd like to get rid of the blusher, the floral street spray and the hair stuff. I'd buy the pink spray and cream pair, and plenty of other stuff!

Oh, I need this today! Definitely require some reviving!
I have been looking forward to this. We've had the De-Stress version last year and I love it for an evening bath so it's great to have this one to use in the shower in the morning. Really looking forward to usimg this.
