Today is ok, but I've had this previously and it's too iridescent/shiny for me, so will try mixing with another sunscreen maybe.

I think I’m the only one who is pleased with todays choice. My current moisturiser doesn’t have SPF in it, so I’m happy to try this primer.
I do wonder how shiny it is as the box says it can be used as a highlighter too. I’m going out tonight so will try it out then as I’ll be having some shimmer anyway

I am not too interested in today's buy I am going to give it a chance

I’m pleased with today’s. It’s a product I use and love. I was running low.I am outside a lot and while I wouldn’t use it for a full days sailing I do use it as my daily sunscreen in the summer.

Not contacted SpaceNK about my missing blusher yet

I have been really bowled over by all the products so far. Absolutely nothing that I won’t use. My 3 daughters are getting nervous ….

I have tested out a few of the products now and I am impressed! Day ones sdj has been gifted along with the Rare lip oil. Gorgeous shade but I can’t cope with any lip products that aren’t matte/don’t dry down.

Really love the Chantecaille blusher. It’s exactly the shade I’d go for, really pigmented, non streaky and easy to blend. I don’t want to love it though at that price! The serum is lovely too and sinks in really quickly. I don’t actually want Christmas to come at the moment! I don’t want to say goodbye to the advent 😂

@BloodyWolves I love the blusher too, I've been wearing it every day and it's enough to add some colour but not too much I look like Aunt Sally lol

I used the blusher today too and love it! I wonder if anybody would manage to get through the whole tube though as it’s so big and you only need a tiny amount. With products like this, I wish they would make them smaller and charge a lower price.

I used the Supergoop primer this evening and it’s lovely! I’m not sure how it will fare for day to day use on my usually pale skin, but this evening with a bit of fake tan it really enhanced my look, and my make up stayed in tact all evening

Really pleased today, another double drawer and both brands are new to me so looking forward to trying. Only problem is I've introduced a strict rule of not opening a new product until I've finished something that is already on the go so not sure when I'm going to get open all these interesting products and meanwhile the stash is growing...

Well I had a triple box today… the missing blusher was in there too. I’m glad I didn’t get round to contacting them yet.

Really pleased with all three items. Probably the best calendar I’ve had so far and I’ve been getting them for years and tried all the top ones!

I’m looking forward to trying the sleep mask. No idea if there at all similar but I love Glow recipes watermelon sleep mask so I’m hoping my skin likes this one as well.

I will try The Ordinary serum after I’ve finished the Medik8 one I’ve just opened. I’ve only ever tried one product from them before. If I remember correctly I wasn’t that keen but it was passed on to me by a friend and I was never convinced that it was suitable for my skin type.

At this rate I won’t have to buy much skincare for at least the first half of next year!

My dd is always talking about Laneige. It’s apparently quite the big deal!

Oooo I'm loving these double boxes! I agree, this is the best AC I've had so far I reckon 🤩 Looking forward to trying the sleep mask tonight and I'll keep the serum to use after I've finished the one we got the other day.

I'm trying to use things as I get them but also have a stash 'for later' only cos I have so much open just now!

My skin feels amazing after the Medik8 serum. I agree, it’s definitely the best advent I’ve ever had.

Great twofer today. I think The Ordinary one is the one that used to be called Buffet in which case I have used it before and it’s good. Not used the sleep mask but I love Laneige’s lip masks so hopefully this will be as good. I may give it a whitl tonight.

Oh and I used the Medik8 Hydr8 yesterday and really liked it a lot.

I have a Laneige sleep mask. Not this one, I've got the Cica one in a green tub. It's really nice. I do my usual skincare routine on an evening then an hour or so later just before bed I use the sleep mask as a second moisture layer. When I wake up my skin still feels hydrated. It's banished the extra dry skin I usually get this time of year because of the cold and central heating.

Delighted with today’s doubler and I agree with everyone that this calendar has been amazing! The size and quality of everything is brilliant. I might not personally like everything eg the spray on day 1 but I can see how it would be lovely for a lot of people

after having the most disgusting flakey crispy winter skin, it’s now looking pretty glowy. I’m pretty sure the medik8 serum is witchcraft

the blusher makes all other blushers seem pointless, love it

I really like the laneige sleep mask, I use it both morning and night though, it's so silky it is a great makeup base. This is surprisingly a travel size, with the bigger one still being very reasonably priced so I will add this in my regular routine.

The ordinary is heading to DD, only because I already have an spf, and I definitely don't need a shimmery one.

I tried the Chantecaille blush, and annoyingly it's great, goes on quick, easy to blend in a few seconds, no hassle, unlike powder blush. Will buy again, but hopefully will last until a decent sale on it comes up.

Each product has been brilliant this week
really excited for todays double drawer
stand out calendar and it’s only day 8!

I’m looking forward to trying the La Neige cream tonight. I have their lip sleeping mask which is amazing so I have high hopes. This is definitely the best calendar I’ve had so far.

Really looking forward to trying both of today's products. I'm going to hold out on the TO peptides until I run out of my Medik8 liquid peptides in the hopes it's a more budget friendly alternative! Will try the mask tonight. It's such a great selection of products this year, so far the winners for me are the summer Fridays balm and medik8 serum.

Day 9. Sunday Riley CEO Glow, vitamin C + Turmeric face oil. I’ve had this before from a previous calendar, it’s really lovely. Feels very luxurious and smells divine.

15ml which I think is full sized, but the outer packaging felt unnecessarily large and deceiving!

I’m really enjoying the calendar and think it’s excellent value for money.

Do you use the oil instead of a moisturiser, after serum or is it another step?

I have the face cream I’ve just finished so pleased with this if a little unsure when to use it!

I use it like a serum. Cleanse, then the oil, then moisturise x
