Tagging a few of you that bought this absolute beauty of a calendar - apologies if you've opened already/ don't fancy the thread!

@LightandBreezy thats the one. I’d have been gutted if I’d spent €150 on it. I might try again after Christmas when I’ve no events coming up

WeAreBorg · 01/12/2024 14:03

I can see this a objectively nice product but it absolutely stinks (to my nose)
will find a teen girl to take it off my hands

SaidItFromMyCoffin · 01/12/2024 16:05

I knew what the first door was - but that’s the only one I do know. However I’d promised this to my tween DD as it’s her favourite. I wouldn’t use it now as it has very much become her scent! She is very happy.

bozzabollix · 01/12/2024 16:10

My ten year old daughter who loves that stuff has nicked off with it. It’s way too sweet for me. There will be a load of ten year olds reeking off it on her next sleepover.

TreesinthePark · 01/12/2024 18:13

This is very sweet for me. I do have a 13 year old neice who might like it but her sisters are 10 and 6 so doesn't feel fair for me to give it to her. (Always annoying when I see something only one of them might like!)

I'll keep it for around the house as I do have Zara perfumes I like to use at home to save my fancier ones for going out!

MiaN · 02/12/2024 07:03

Love today's face cleanser and full size 🥰. However I have the xxl size of same and I don't want to hoard skincare. My 17 year old son is delighted with it!

Happy with todays although do have quite a few cleansers. It’s one I will use though.

Talisin · 02/12/2024 07:25

Very useful if not massively interesting today!

LightandBreezy · 02/12/2024 07:29

Skin Rocks The Cream Cleanser today, I'm lucky to have 2 larger ones of these already via Liberty gift sets, so it'll be used just not yet. I'm about half way through the first bottle and it does the job but it's not an all time favorite either, although I do like a cream or an oil cleanser in Winter and have now definitely got enough to get me through to March :)

MyStylish40s · 02/12/2024 07:31

I will try this tonight. I’ve just finished a Liz Earle, that I got in last year’s Boots’ calendar

Ive just remembered that the generous sizes were one of the main reasons I went for Space NK. I still can’t remember what’s in it, though Xmas Grin

LightandBreezy · 02/12/2024 07:37

Out of interest has anyone tried the Retinol 1 from Caroline Hirons? Or anything else from the range?

OP posts:
WeAreBorg · 02/12/2024 07:43

Cleanser looks nice and is a decent size. I also have another one from a gift set but not tried them yet

bigdecisionstomake · 02/12/2024 08:24

Joining in late as I was away yesterday. I sold my last SdeJ perfume spray in this scent on Vinted and got a good price for it. Not sure if I might keep this one and give it a go although if I remember correctly it is very sweet.

Have been really keen to try the cleanser from Skin Rocks so this was one of the products I was looking forward to.

A solid start but not mind blown yet.

BloodyWolves · 02/12/2024 10:22

It’s definitely a functional day 2! It looks nice, good size and I will use this after my current cleanser runs out but I can’t say I’m exactly balled over in excitement. I’m looking forward to getting some make up now.

rubyslippers · 02/12/2024 10:32

Pleased with the cleanser today
I usually use Kate Somerville goat milk cleanser but happy to try this one

Costacoffeeplease · 02/12/2024 10:54

This was one of my DOD in space nk, not a CH fan

GinandGingerBeer · 02/12/2024 11:03

Yesterday DH presented me with the Liberty calendar 🤦🏻‍♀️❤️
So now I have both the Space NK & Liberty.
I thought I'd save Space NK until jan but that went by the wayside by 10am!
Yesterday's SDJ spray- is ok for holidays.
I already have a CH cleanser that I've not opened yet as I'm getting through a nice bit bog standard Superdrug vit E cleanser.
So far I guess Liberty has the edge but I know I chose spaceNK as it had so many products I love or want to try so it'll be the winner in the end. 😊

MyStylish40s · 02/12/2024 17:25

I just used the cleanser. It’s lovely. My skin feels lovely and smooth.
I can’t wait for tomorrow. I’m so happy that I didn’t check the contents of the calendar (I did before buying it, but have forgotten everything)

ACAC2023 · 02/12/2024 18:42

Joining, I did open a few drawers towards the end of November but none of the early ones🙂. Not overly excited by the first 2 days but I’ll store the cleanser in the shower to use then

TheChosenTwo · 02/12/2024 20:51

The cleanser is something i’ll definitely use, it’s very functional and inoffensive - cream cleansers are useful to pretty much everyone so I think it’s a good item to include if not terribly exciting!
I can’t remember the contents of the calendar now but I seem to remember it being quite light on makeup, not sure if it’s true now because it’s been ages since I checked what was in it before buying 😂

Thelifeofawife · 02/12/2024 22:13

I’ve not had a door for this yet due to having 2 ACs and selling off some things. I’ve made sure I’ve got at least 1 door between the two calendars each day.
I do still have an SDJ mist as part of a set I bought a few months ago, and love the idea of spraying it on my dressing gown

BloodyWolves · 03/12/2024 07:02

Delighted with today’s offering! K18 is a holy grail product for me anyway but I usually buy the 15ml as I only wash my hair once a week and use three pumps a time so it lasts longer than you’d think. The 50ml is a really generous surprise! I won’t have to buy any for ages.

Pictured next to my current half full bottle for size scale 😁

MiaN · 03/12/2024 07:21

Me too, new product for me and I need to find some good hair care products. Looking forward trying it. Another full size! They are not messing around 🥰

MiaN · 03/12/2024 07:56

The full price for this is 81euro, cream cleanser 40e and Sol De Janeiro 62 - 24euro. So far all full size product bit this is the first one that is new to me and I need.

Pleased worth the advent so far

MyStylish40s · 03/12/2024 07:57

Me too. My favourite ever advent, so far!
