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!

I'm happy enough with today's face wash. Used it this morning and it's fine. I'll use it up but won't repurchase as I prefer my normal cleanser.

purplecomet thanks for saying what today's item was. I thought I was going mad as my drawer was empty! And that I'd opened ahead of myself somehow. But I definitely didn't get a face wash yet so I think this was missed off mine!

I'm giving the lip gloss to my niece, I'm already using a plumping lip gloss and the one I have is clear which I prefer. I have used the perfume mist but it's got quite a strong vanilla scent and I don't love it. I have popped the face wash in my toiletry bag and will get some use out of it. I'm enjoying the calendar so far.

Oh no! It's this one https://www.boots.com/first-aid-beauty-pure-skin-face-cleanser-142g-10344794?CAWELAID=620000410000831075&srsltid=AfmBOoqGNUp5FdGt1Hgt92pE7Yx_dBp_MegM7DMgb6IuWj8q9d7qUuNokJ0 but a small travel size 28.3g. Mine was hiding under the shredded paper. Are you sure that it was missing?

Yes mine was also well hidden under the shredded paper today whereas everything else has been sat on top of it

soberfabulous · 08/12/2024 03:44

purplecomet thanks for sharing. Mine is definitely empty!!!! Took all the paper out of the box. So annoying. I travel a lot so these products are so useful.

MonkeyTennis34 · 08/12/2024 16:13

Love the lipgloss.
Haven't tried the face wash yet.

purplecomet · 08/12/2024 19:17

Excited to try today's Estee Lauder advanced night repair. Does anyone use this? What do we think?

chloechloe · 08/12/2024 19:23

I wasn’t too excited about yesterday’s face wash but it’s a handy size for travelling so will get used.

I’m happy with the Estėe Lauder serum as I’ve wanted to try it for ages and it was one of the reasons I used to justify getting this calendar!

I love it. As I mentioned up thread I bought this calendar but opened it a while back to repurpose some stuff for homemade calendars. I kept the Estee Lauder ANR and started using it about a month ago. I've not tried anything else that feels quite like this serum. It was one of those why have I only just discovered this moments!

I know it's a small size but it goes further than you think. I've been using it alternate nights because I still have another serum to use up but I'm definitely a convert.

OvaHere · 08/12/2024 19:31

Also LF are having an up to 30% off Estee Lauder day today with some good savings. They know what they're doing! 😂

Pinklady81 · 08/12/2024 21:21

I have used the serum for years , it is magical stuff!

Pinklady81 · 09/12/2024 07:24

Nothing in number 8 today gutted makes my morning opening the drawer anyone else with nothing?

That's because today is the 9th Grin

Not too impressed with this scalp serum though.

YouMeandBrie · 09/12/2024 07:54

This is the first day I’ve been disappointed. Have v thick hair anyway so wouldn’t bother with a scalp serum but have loved all of the other days. Love trying new skincare and my face needed a bit of love! Also really liked the mini shampoo / conditioner combo and have given the fragrance and lip gloss to ds2 for his girlfriend’s Christmas present.

Pinklady81 · 09/12/2024 07:59

@Chickenwing2 oh yes whoops!!

purplecomet · 09/12/2024 10:03

Like others, I am disappointed with today's scalp serum. I don't think I'll get round to using it. My hair is fine but there's plenty of it so no need for this product really.

Ditto!

MonkeyTennis34 · 10/12/2024 09:33

Pleased with today's offering.

I go the Avant face scrub in a lookfantastic beauty box and was very impressed.

Very, very expensive to but too!

LittleSF · 10/12/2024 17:38

Just finished reading the reviews of the Avant primer and so impressed - can't wait to try it out. I hope I don't get too attached - so expensive. But delighted to get it "for free"

purplecomet · 10/12/2024 18:44

Pleased with today's primer. I already have at least 2 unopened primers that I was going to use first, but I'm going to try this one next.

Chickenwing2 · 11/12/2024 08:36

Oooh I love the smell of this candle! I'm going to light it today Smile

YouMeandBrie · 11/12/2024 09:00

Lovely smell! Will nicely replace the glass jar candle I accidentally put a spoon through trying to scrape wax off the other day! 😑

SomeonTookMyAnonymousUserName · 11/12/2024 09:11

I've just found this thread!

Pretty happy with items so far but anything I'm not too keen on goes to my DDs.

Todays candle smells lovely and is a decent size

purplecomet · 11/12/2024 09:59

I'm not a big fan of candles and not too keen on the smell of this one anyway. I'm going to regift this one.
