Excited for this year as I didn't get one last year. Shall we say no spoilers before 7am?

Very nice product and a good brand (I use the neck cream and it's amazing!)

DH gets restless legs at night so I will give this to him in the hope that it helps. Great to have a full size product

Another one gifting this to DH. My DH is obsessed with magnesium.

Not over keen on the body lotion. I have tried the sprays before but was not wild about them either. This lotion reminds me of Vicks.

I very rarely like perfumes given out in advent calendar but I genuinely really like today’s. Much better than the one we got earlier in the month.

Disturbia81 · 14/12/2024 07:25

Well I tried the lotion last night and I fell asleep so quickly, and it was that lovely feeling of can't keep eyes open instead of trying to force sleep. Gonna read about magnesium now

Todays perfume seems nice based on a quick test spray in the air.

Really happy with another perfume, and this smells good.

I've got a thread on chat about not sleeping well you may be interested in. Found taking a magnesium supplement helped but it gives me an upset tummy.

I regularly use a magnesium butter on my feet, I have no trouble sleeping ever.

Happy with today's. I like little perfume like this for my handbag

mrsnjw · 14/12/2024 08:36

This is their Chanel no 5 dupe. Smells lovely, very nice for winter.

Disturbia81 · 14/12/2024 08:41

@LivingDeadGirlUK Thanks OP, and I hope the lotion works for you too!

Disturbia81 · 14/12/2024 08:41

@ThePoshUns Ooh good to know thanks.

That's so interesting because I could swear when I tried Chanel No 5 years ago I didn't like it but I really like this... I wonder if our tastes in perfume change over the years?

mrsnjw · 14/12/2024 08:55

Your sense of smell might have.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 14/12/2024 09:45

This perfume is gorgeous I hope it has staying power.

I slathered the deepsleep cream on last night (along with the MD serum on my toenails - i live in hope) and slept really really well, which is excellent as i have been sleeping really badly recently. I had strange dreams but I put that down to the vast quantity of cheese I had for dinner!

Could you share which one it is please?

LivingDeadGirlUK · 14/12/2024 12:33

Perfume does not seem to have lasted :(

Happy with the perfume today. It is a lovely winter scent. I am interested in trying out the rest of the range too.

itsnothingoriginal · 14/12/2024 12:38

The perfume today is nice....to me it smells very similar to Alien! I might pass this on to DD as I already have the Zara dupe of Alien which is brilliant....lasts all day on me!

The nail serum is a big hit for me! Already noticed my cuticles look much better.

ThePoshUns · 14/12/2024 12:46

@bigTillyMint this one, I've been using a while now

ThePoshUns · 14/12/2024 16:14

Agree the perfume is nice and has lasted well today. Another winner.

ThePoshUns · 14/12/2024 23:19

Trying the 'this works' body cream tonight. It smells a bit medicinal
