Oh, this advent is such a treat. I am really enjoying it!

It really is!

A memory popped up for me today from two years ago where I had the Look Fantastic advent calendar, by day 6 I had received 5 sample sized products and one full sized Espa body lotion 😂.

To have so many full sized products from the SNK calendar already is brilliant.

I had the same cleansing balm in Space NK and Harvey Nichol's last year and it definitely felt HN is old stock - it was so much drier. I don't think it was off bit it felt it is old stock. With many others I feel there is element of getting rid of old harder to sell stock but never with SpaceNK - they consistently deliver

Great day again today. I currently have Mac setting spray and my favourite Glossier Boy Brow on the go, but I'll definitely use these two next.

Talisin · 06/12/2025 09:29

Don’t often use setting spray, Urban Decay’s All Nighter when I do, but do often use a spray on moisturiser early afternoon as I start feeling tight and dehydrated round the eyes. This looks like it could cover both things so looking forward to trying it! Brow sculpt will definitely be useful, my eyebrows have a mind of their own these days - I’m worried I’ll go full-on Dennis Healey if they aren’t corralled.

WeAreBorg · 06/12/2025 09:39

Brow gel is well timed as I’m running out.

Setting spray and primers are two products that I seem to accumulate. I should probably try using them! I think I’m worried about inhaling spray maybe? I don’t use hairspray either. Maybe I have a spray phobia!

bigdecisionstomake · 06/12/2025 09:54

Looking forward to trying the setting spray. I'm just getting to the tail end of a Lumene one that came out of their advent calendar last year so it's good timing. The brow gel will go to my niece as I have no real brows left unfortunately 😂

IDontKnowWhatYouMean · 06/12/2025 11:05

I don’t use setting spray much (not for any particular reason, I just never get around to it - I have 2 unopened Lumene ones from previous calendars, a Mac setting spray and also a few others from various beauty boxes lurking around).
Do you think this Milk spray could double as a general hydrating mist? I’m going on holiday for 3 weeks in January and maybe it could be handy then?

I also have very sparse brows, so not sure how much use the brow gel will be. I should have looked at what it actually was before tearing the box when opening it!

It’s very hydrating so that would work well.

I have sparse brows too, I just fill them in a little with a pencil and then fluff up with the gel x

Really enjoying my calendar so far. I had already sold the Milk spray, naturium cleanser and tatcha vitamin c though as they aren’t for me. Think I need a bit of practice with the brush on this brow wax, but the brow gel in last year’s calendar turned into a product I never knew I needed! So far I think my favourite is the hair oil; I’ve tried a few before but this one leaves my hair so soft without any weight or grease which is lovely.

Hicupping · 06/12/2025 15:14

I was going to get rid of setting spray but the reviews are amazing. Brow gel is a miss though unless I could use it first and then add a coloured brow product after, would that make them look a bit better. I have pale rubbish eyebrows not helped by I had stiches when little on my right one. I have the milk coloured eye gel.

mynameiscalypso · 06/12/2025 15:53

The setting spray is a definite winner for me. My make up still looks really fresh despite a Saturday spent running around taking DS to swimming lesson, going to the supermarket, lots of moving furniture around to fit in the Christmas tree etc.

BlueLimes · 06/12/2025 19:16

Busy day, just catching up.

Still no have cream 😉

Never used a setting surya, not sure if to sell or give it a go.

Not sure about today. I got a bit spooked checking the pictures for the brow product on the refy website, are the eyebrow hairs meant to stick up like that ? Maybe I will try to gift this one and stick to my trusted gimme brow. I feel like I need some colour and I don't have thick brows.
I don't use setting spray either, because I use loose powder instead, from by terry, which has a nice blurring effect, but I could give it a go.

You could pencil the brows and then apply the gel, I’m not sure if it would work applying the gel first? I could be wrong though!

Morning all, this is an exciting day! I love the look of this blush 😍 the shade looks gorgeous and it was one of the items that really attracted me to the AC. I'd never tried anything from WA but since buying the calendar, my collection has started, I now have the liquid illuminator, a blush stick in petal, highlighter in nectar, eyeliner and lip liner, so this will go in nicely with my collection ❤️ I will be trying the shade today ☺️

Late to the thread but interested in everyone’s opinions

Caggie09 · 07/12/2025 07:54

Excited about the blush stick. The shade is lovely, cant wait to use it. Im really impressed with this AC so far.
I have Cult Beauty too, and have to say SNK is winning for me!

2025istheyeari · 07/12/2025 07:56

Ooh I don’t have Space NK, but I bought this, the Lisa Eldridge mascara and Tatcha serum off Vinted as they were the 3 items I was really keen on, I’ve been using the blush and love it! Enjoying following this thread!

mynameiscalypso · 07/12/2025 08:18

Looking forward to trying this too. Top marks for the tube itself though - feels very high end.

Batteriesoptional · 07/12/2025 08:20

I’m loving the look of this blush - even the way it’s presented is gorgeous. Again it’s a brand I haven’t used before and may not have picked up so pleased to try it.

So far every day has been a genuine, lovely surprise as I did zero research on the calendar vs. others, and had no idea on the content. From seeing comments on other calendars, I realise what an extraordinary fluke this is and how lucky I have been. Hurrah for Space NK!

MiaN · 07/12/2025 08:41

I tend to use powder blushes so I have been looking at youtube videos how to apply cream blush this morning. I have few VB and another WA that sit unused, it will be good to know how to apply and give them a chance.

Another full size! 7 days, 8 full sizes. I actually do enjoy the Milk setting spray (after 1 day test, it may change!) so for me only one item gifted to my son so far. Impressive!

BlueLimes · 07/12/2025 08:45

I love the look of the blush but the colour won’t suit so I’ll pop on vinted.
overall still very impressed with the calendar.

Love, love, love this one - can't wait to try it 😍

Seahorses12 · 07/12/2025 09:12

Absolutely delighted with todays blush. It's a high quality, stunning item and I'm a big fan. I forgot I'd also added a mini in Petal to the drawer, so even better! It's a win today!

This looks lovely. I’ve got one of their mini highlight sticks which is also very nice. I’ll have to purge or use up my blusher stash first though.

This calendar is an absolute joy isn’t it! I nearly didn’t get a calendar this year but this one came back into stock at the last minute, so happy with it ❤️
