Absolutely love the packaging - the lid being magnetic makes a nice touch

JoRaRaRa · 07/12/2025 09:50

I've just used it, it's blendable and buildable, feels really nice and is a gorgeous colour 😍

TheToteBagLady · 07/12/2025 09:51

It’s lovely. I’m still using the cream blush from last year’s calendar, it’s a pink shade. It’s nice to have a much different shade.

I had always used powder blushes, but much prefer the cream, now.

Really enjoying the calendar. Everything except for the brow gel has been a big hit for me.

Love this blusher, it was one of the items I took out early and it has effectively replaced all my other blushers since! You only need a tiny amount and it spreads well and looks natural.
The packaging is great too.
I have also used it as a lip stick, works fine for that too!

Talisin · 07/12/2025 09:56

Today’s blusher looks and feels incredibly luxe but I’m not sure I’ll ever use it. I’m very pale and rarely wear blush as anything more than the slightest hint makes me look feverish.

I think I maybe need to go and watch a youtube tutorial on how to apply and then decide.

BelindaLouisa · 07/12/2025 10:08

Sorry to mention the Milk spray rather than today’s blush, but can someone let me know if it’s worth keeping for just a refreshing spray? Like on holiday? I’d use it for that, but not to set make up, so wondering whether I sell it or gift it rather than keep it.

Thanks in advance!

NessShaness · 07/12/2025 10:10

Another great day!

I was a bit disappointed when I saw the colour and thought it was too dark, but it blends so nicely and it looks lovely on!

The packaging feels very luxurious too. I think it retails for around £45 which is more than I’d ever spend on a blusher so I really do feel very spoilt by this calendar x

Hollyrosehome · 07/12/2025 10:17

Absolutely beautiful shade and one i would have chosen. Delighted today as never tried a premium blush. You've got to love a magnetic lid right?

Really happy so far. The Refy eyebrow serum I've used to tidy rather than the fashion brow and very impressed.

Milk spray I need to play around with more.

I use everything in these, good way to try new brands. Looks like I'm to be a medik8 fan 😅

MandyAndLola · 07/12/2025 10:17

I’ve loved all days so far but this is my favourite. Have always wanted to try this brand and the colour of the blush is beautiful.

Caggie09 · 07/12/2025 11:03

Ive popped some of the blush on, and really like it. It's not a shade i would of went for, but i think it knocked my Vieve Cream blush of the top spot. This may be my favourite product so far from the AC.

MiaN · 07/12/2025 11:05

I like my makeup today - using the braw gel, setting spray and the blush from the advent. I wasn't expecting to like the setting spray but really makes difference to the makeup finished look

I tried it mid-afternoon to top up my make up and I don’t find it super refreshing or hydrating personally. That might just be my skin type though.

IDontKnowWhatYouMean · 07/12/2025 13:21

What a beautiful product in today's drawer 😍
I'm loving this calendar, pretty much everything so far is bringing me joy!

Hicupping · 07/12/2025 15:13

Definitely one of the stand out products for me. I have a mini highlighter stick from them in nectar and was thinking If I get a bit heavy handed can tone it down.

BabyPigeon83 · 07/12/2025 18:40

I'm very pleased with today's blush. I'm just finishing the mini size of this in the shade petal, and it took a long time of daily use to finish it as a little goes a long way.
My favorite blush is actually the one that Lisa Eldridge released a few years ago then it sold out and she never released it again, but this Makeup atelier one is a good alternative.
I just tap my finger in it, dot it on my cheekbone and then blend it, I can add more if needed but I like to start light. It's done in seconds which is great when rushing. Very happy with the calendar overall.

I love Westman Atelier highlighters but find their blushers rather dry; I prefer the creamier Milk and Merit ones.

Oh no just realized I total messed up the brand's name, oops.🤦🏻‍♀️ I haven't tried Merit but I ordered the uniform during their black Friday sale, I'm forever looking for the best tinted SPF. It just arrived so didn't bave a chance to try it but I'm now tempted to try a blush. Which colour did you like?

SocksAndTheCity · 07/12/2025 21:39

I've only just had chance to open mine and while instinct tells me to just stick the make up things on eBay, this looks so nice I think I'll try it tomorrow.

Like a PP I'm very pale so I'll just have to go carefully - I now have the brow gel which I didn't see yesterday to try too Smile

BlueLimes · 07/12/2025 22:00

I feel more inspired to try rather than put on vinted. I use a darker muted blush at the moment. I might see if I can try in store at the weekend.

Good morning everyone, on this dark and grey Monday morning. My hair is looking it's worst so I was very pleased to discover today's drawer. Maybe, just maybe it will improve the dry crispy look.

I will try it again. I had it before and wasn't keen on it but my hair has changed in recent years. 9 full sizes 8 days! The K18 oil was more interesting to me but I will reserve judgement after I try it.

I’m the same. I have gone off Olaplex since finding K18 but I’m happy to give it a try.

Talisin · 08/12/2025 09:15

I love the deep conditioning mask Olaplex do so I’ll give this a whirl.

mynameiscalypso · 08/12/2025 09:16

The K18 has been the one dud for me so far and so I’m keen to try this.

BlueLimes · 08/12/2025 09:46

I’ve not used Olaplex before, also assumed it was for highlighter hair? happy yo try it.

morning all 😊
