Just opened mine this morning. JHAG Not a Perfume was missing so have just gone through the chat bot process for a refund.

That's the 2nd JHAG perfume that's gone walkabout in advent season. Miami Shake in the LF calendar was missing too.

I ended up accepting £5.20 as a partial refund as couldn’t be bothered with returning the parcel

Yes that's what I did. I've already got 3 x 5ml of Not a Perfume as it is.

I was happy to find I do like Queen of Silk. Not liked any Creed up until now. Was relieved none of the Men's scents were missing. DS is home for Xmas on the 12th Dec so I've used the SNK frag advent box to make him a 12 day scent calendar.

Relative newbie to this world here. Very grateful for all the info made available on here by you all. If anyone is a Bobbi Brown fan I just noticed this on the JL website:

Receive the Bobbi Brown The Five-Minute Face Edit Makeup Gift Set for £79 when you spend £40 or more on Bobbi Brown (Apply promo code BB5MIN at checkout)

Product code: 46116408
Introducing The Five-Minute Face Edit, featuring five full-size favourites plus a mini Smokey Eye Mascara and a limited-edition Bobbi Brown bag. Perfect for creating quick, glowing makeup looks at home or on the go.

Smokey Eye Mascara, Black, Mini

Good value if they are your colours/products. Apparently worth £191

Thanks and welcome. That's a nice set.

My Liberty Glam bag arrived. I love it. Probably the best Liberty edit I've bought. So much lovely make up. Only thing I'm not sure about is the WA liquid - need to look up what this does and how to use it. Does anyone know? Is it a bronzing/glowy product?

I purchased the Boots K-beauty edit for myself and was quite impressed with it so have just purchased 2 more for Christmas gifts. Code BEAUTY10 took another 10% off so they came to £31.50 each, quite a bargain and they get great reviews:

This is cheaper than buying the Bobbi Brown base alone, plus there are a couple of discount codes that take an extra 10% off. I think this is a different set to the one posted about earlier, it's £49.

Thank you ! Just picked this up for £44 using the code STARGIFT10

Clarins are doing the 9 samples with any order again. One day only.

Thanks very much, had a £10 off for a £ 80 spend so ordered two.

I ordered it too, quite chuffed.

I am trying to sort my daily routines out and I think evening wise I'm sorted, but morning me is a different beast. I could do with a cleanser that smells nice and does a good job quickly. Any recommendations? I normally skip morning routine because my partner is a night owl and all my stuff is in the bedroom, so I'm going to put some morning products in the bathroom.

Is it the full size mascara please or a mini?

Utterly boring, and unfragranced, but it’s a workhorse that is very gentle on the skin. I use it most of the time. Dermalogica foaming cleanser, so very quick no massaging a balm or honey around. www.dermalogica.co.uk/collections/cleansers/products/special-cleansing-gel

And they sell 500ml refills at Cult Beauty, LOOKFANTASTIC, Liberty, Space NK so should be 20% off. Like I said very boring 😁www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/dermalogica-special-cleansing-gel-refill-500ml/14266492/

What sort do you like? I like a gel cleanser on a morning as they're light and wake me up a bit.

My fave one at the moment is a Beauty Pie one called Happy Face. Comes in a massive bottle and per ml is good value. I don't recommend paying for BP membership just for a cleanser but they often have a free trial where you can buy then cancel before being charged.

Also like Youth to the People Green cleanser. It's a pricier one unfortunately

BYOMA also have a decent gel cleanser that is fragrance free and cheap. I like some fragrance though so it's not my top one.

Dermatica have a nice one also. They sell through Amazon and it's usually on sale during Prime Days.

It doesn’t say, however to get value they list I believe it is a full size one

Thanks @MrsBnow12 was wondering if anyone who bought one already could confirm?

I think it's a highlighter glow thing, the founder has a video of her using it on the blush stick page.

Thank you @BakeOffRewatch and @OvaHere! I've ordered the Youth to the People Green cleanser, it was 20% off and I had a £10 voucher for LF. The reviews and bottle swayed me.

Hope it works for you. It's a nice one.

Hi @Ponjii72
The set just arrived. The mascara is full size. I am blown away, such a nice set and I love the bag.

For anyone else with the glam kit, I called Liberty this morning about the incorrect WA. She asked to send a photo which I did and received a reply saying it was incorrect on their website and they’re working on changing the description. Not impressed! The description is still incorrect and the colour’s far too dark for me, so I’ve replied saying this and asking how they propose putting it right. I’ll keep you posted!

Sorry wrong thread!

@DidILeaveTheGasOn just ordered the set, thanks - really good value with a full sized mascara!
