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!

Face exfoliating cream today, looks nice, will try it later

soberfabulous · 20/12/2024 14:36

The blusher is amazing but a little really does go a long way. I love it. The elements cream is a total bonus!

I've had an item missing earlier in the month too. Keep meaning to email them...

I’m looking forward to trying this face scrub today. I have a face peel by the same brand which is really good so have high hopes.

VillageFete · 20/12/2024 17:23

I don’t like the Elemis moisturiser!! I feel like it made my face dry. Will give it to my mother for Christmas.

NecklessMumster · 21/12/2024 09:25

I don't know about this spray, might be another to donate to neices, tried it on my hand and looks a bit glittery?

LittleSF · 21/12/2024 09:53

Really love the Elemis moisturiser, and dying to try the iconic setting spray. I would never spend €30 on a setting spray myself. Excellent high end products the last two days.

Nearly there - four more hours products left!

Am getting ready soon so will let you know how the spray works.

Sayoonara · 21/12/2024 10:53

I wasn't keen on the setting spray or exfoliating stuff. Rather than open and use them once I sold them onwards. Have been too wasteful in past opening stuff to try out then never using it.

XiCi · 21/12/2024 10:57

I don't really like exfoliating cleansers but the reviews were so good I tried it and have to say it left my skin really soft.

I love the iconic spray. I use it under my foundation and it gives a lovely glow. I'd just finished a smaller bottle and was about to repurchase so seeing a full size was in this calendar was one of the main reasons I bought it.

soberfabulous · 21/12/2024 15:16

I'm traveling for Christmas and just used the wella shampoo and conditioner from earlier. My hair is so soft and silky!

Loved the spray today, I always have a few mists on the go.

I couldn't bring the huge box with me so have saved them to open when I get home.

I look forward to hearing what you all get!

Espa facial oil...Ooh, this is lovely! smells like a spa😊

MonkeyTennis34 · 22/12/2024 13:30

Sooo pleased with the Espa!
Recently started using a facial oil (Emma Hardie) and I'm loving it.

Not so much on the iconic spray. That's going elsewhere.

YouMeandBrie · 22/12/2024 14:25

The Espa oil smells amazing!

YorkieTheRabbit · 22/12/2024 22:15

I’ve just tried the Espa facial oil, it’s lovely. Used the exfoliating scrub last night, not keen on the smell but my skin felt nice.

I already use Elemis pro marine cream so I’m happy with that.

Disliked the Avant primer from a few days ago, made me look odd.
The candle is heading for the bin, too strong and sickly for me. I put it in a spare bedroom but I can still smell it when I walk passed and the advent calendar reeks of it Xmas Envy

Chickenwing2 · 22/12/2024 22:55

I am SO confused as I didn't get an espa facial oil today (but I got something else) I wonder if it's been switched with a later date somehow or if it's an alternative Confused

soberfabulous · 23/12/2024 03:57

I'm another one who used the primer and didn't like it! My make up didn't go on smoothly as I had hoped and my face looked kind of flat and dull!

Sayoonara · 23/12/2024 09:14

I like the candle but in very short bursts.

Haven't tried the primer or oil yet.

MonkeyTennis34 · 23/12/2024 11:04

@YorkieTheRabbit
I agree re the odd smell of the exfoliator.....not great!

The eye mask is actually great for me...whenever DS1 comes to stay, he complains that his bedroom is too light.

purplecomet · 23/12/2024 11:25

I have regifted the candle as the the smell was too sweet for me. I haven't tried the face oil yet but will do. Today's face mask is boring and not something I will use. I hate waste but it will probably go in the bin.

youngestisapsycho · 24/12/2024 14:26

I used the face oil today but it seems really dry and didnt ‘spread’ nicely…. Had a funny smell too

Pickled21 · 24/12/2024 15:02

I've been using the face oil for the past 2 nights. It does have a strong smell which I'm on the fence about. Like @youngestisapsycho I find that it doesn't spread that well either so I end up using a fair bit of it. I'm not sure if that's due to my very dry skin or the product itself.

Today's product I will be using tonight. I do like this brand.

SomeonTookMyAnonymousUserName · 24/12/2024 18:16

I've jumped ahead to tomorrow, just to get rid of the packaging and I'm blown away! Fantastic final gift 🎁

Chickenwing2 · 25/12/2024 07:55

Absolutely delighted with todays! I've never had such a nice palette before. Merry Christmas everyone! Xmas Smile

youngestisapsycho · 25/12/2024 08:05

Love todays… just what I needed too 😊

Merry Christmas all 🎄🎄🎄

Sayoonara · 25/12/2024 08:08

The final gift is great. It seems pretty well pigmented unlike some of my other palettes.

soberfabulous · 25/12/2024 14:20

Sounds amazing, can't wait to get home and open the final doors!
