Hey, is there anyone out there that wants to join me in a daily opening of the Look Fantastic calendar? Day One looks to be a good start!

@SciFiFan
Yes, me!!
Haven't opened yet.

Oohh, glad to hear it's a good one.

Are we doing spoilers or waiting till a given time?

SciFiFan · 01/12/2024 09:37

I think a time will be the easiest as we want to discuss what we have. Shall we say 9am.? Let me know when you’ve opened it.

Can I join? Today's is a good start, and full size too. I haven't used it before, but looking foward to trying it.

SciFiFan · 01/12/2024 10:45

Of course, you’re very welcome. I’ve just had a go with it. Took a moment to work out how to unlock the pump (you turn the top half anti-clockwise). It went on nicely and didn’t sting so feels suitable if your skins a bit sensitive. I’m very happy with Day 1

Plus retails at about £24

Happy enough with day 1. I like the brand and it's full size.

Champagnecharleyismyname · 01/12/2024 10:52

I love Medik8 products so a very strong start. Also read it can be used with retinol so that's good. I worry about stripping my skin using retinol in the evening and an exfoliating toner in the morning.

This looks like it will be quite gentle though.

MonkeyTennis34 · 01/12/2024 11:14

Hmm, but disappointing first me as I never use a toner.

Maybe I should start!

Or I may re-gift.

YorkieTheRabbit · 01/12/2024 16:31

I’ve not tried this brand before but I’m happy to give it a try. Xmas Smile

Did anyone else get a 30 quid voucher?? The qr code isn't working so wondering if it's legit xx

OvaHere · 01/12/2024 16:38

Just interloping to say I bought this advent when it first came out but opened it at the time to use and regift. I've been using the Press and Glow toner since then and I highly rate it.

Prior to that I hadn't used a toner in decades but now I'm a convert. It's quite gentle despite being exfoliating and I've not had an issue despite having sensitive rosacea prone skin.

So those on the fence maybe give it a go.

Pinklady81 · 01/12/2024 17:14

I loved the first day! Currently use Ren tonic so this will be a good comparison will make mornings in December a lot easier with the drawers to open

Same with me, have been using it a few weeks already and really like it, having not used toner for decades.

LivelyFinch · 01/12/2024 17:19

Haven't heard of this brand but I love a toner so looking forward to using it.

Yes, I did and no, the qr isn’t working. It’s for £30 off a Foreo device which is something I won’t be buying.

TriciaMcMillan · 01/12/2024 20:03

Hello. Checking in as also have LF. I haven't tried anything from Medik8 before so keen to see if this is noticeably better than my standard Ren. I like starting with full size too, feels generous, rather than the mini/micro 'deluxe' version. Nice!

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 01/12/2024 20:26

Day 1 is Medik8 Exfoliating PHA Tonic. Happy with this as I love a good toner. Full size too which is a great start

I was gifted this calendar on Friday so today was a nice surprise. I use tret so will be interested to see if this makes a difference.

VillageFete · 01/12/2024 22:14

I missed out on the calendar and cried 🤣 Huge fan of the Look Fantastic calendars, and I kept putting off buying it, thinking “I’ll do it tomorrow”
Ended up having to buy the bloody thing on Ebay for £200 😫

Anyway, LOVE Medik8, and I use this toner anyway and get so many compliments about my skin. Stick with it, it’s a great product and so gentle.

ElvenElf · 01/12/2024 22:34

I'm joining too 😊😊
I don't look after myself properly so decided a beauty advent might be the way to go.
Used the toner tonight and will keep using it, hopefully it will brighten me up as looking decidedly dull.
Do you moisturise afterwards?

LittleSF · 01/12/2024 22:50

Joining too, was delighted with day one.

I use the Byoma milky toner daily which I love but happy to have a full size of a different brand.

Have used this brand before and liked it so very pleased with this.

Roll on day 2 :)

Blueuggboots · 02/12/2024 00:05

I opened mine, and happy with the toner. I've never used this brand before.

I did get the voucher and the QR code worked but its for £30 off facial things I wouldn't use that are a couple of hundred pounds???

Chickenwing2 · 02/12/2024 07:45

Can someone please tell me what a toner is for? I've used it the last 2 days but can't notice anything other than it slightly dries my skin.

Have opened day 2- meh!!

SciFiFan · 02/12/2024 08:31

I like todays brand but haven’t used this particular product before so happy to give it a go.

i did see that the Faroe brand (re the £30 voucher) also sells face masks and I wondered if I could buy some of them with the voucher.

Day 2. This Works Body Wash. Bit bored with This Works now but it will get used.
