I like laniege but I find mists a bit of a gimmick. I wish it was the lip mask instead. I will try it though.
The mini lotion is nice but it's a pain to get it out from that kind of packaging, unless it's very runny. I have not tried it so not sure.
Not a bad day. 😊

JoRaRaRa · 09/12/2025 07:58

@BabyPigeon83 I actually really like mists. I find them great for a quick hit of hydration. If my face starts feeling a bit dry during the day, a couple of spritzes and I’m good to go again 😊

I can see why people might see them as a bit gimmicky though. They’re definitely a 'nice to have' rather than an essential 💁🏻‍♀️

WeAreBorg · 09/12/2025 08:03

I’ve just tried the lotion as I’d just run out and I’m dry as a crisp - it’s very holiday but seems
to have gone on nicely.

i now have three face mists so I’d better start using them!!

I’ve just realised that yesterday’s hair thingy is number six. I thought I had it but I’ve got 3 and 5 (also in kits of calendars, I don’t understand them enough to buy them). I’ll try it today but not sure what it’s meant to do!

The body lotion reminds me of that bronze goddess perfume type scent

Seahorses12 · 09/12/2025 08:23

Very happy with today's selection. I love the scent of the body lotion, reminds me of a beautiful hand made lotion I discovered at an eco lodge in Costa Rica. I bought as much of it home as possible, but it ran out a few years ago. I'll definitely buy this in full size after it's finished.

Love Laniege so happy to work the mist into my routine. Body lotion looks nice but will inevitably lurk in my bathroom cabinet unused until the next time I have a clear out… 😁

BabyPigeon83 · 09/12/2025 09:02

@JoRaRaRa I will definitely give the mist a try. The cold weather outside combined with the heating indoors makes my skin drier than usual.

Hicupping · 09/12/2025 09:24

Do like the smell of the lotion.

bigdecisionstomake · 09/12/2025 09:27

I am very happy with today's items. I love a mist and use one religiously under hyaluronic acid products and retinol products and also just for random spritzing during the day.

My post menopause body needs slathering daily to prevent dry itchy skin so any body lotion is always welcome and this one smells beautifully of sunny days.

Caggie09 · 09/12/2025 09:55

Happy with a lotion, great for summer. As a pp said, would of been nice for a scent more for this time of year. Happy with the mist too, using the Laniege eye cream atm, and love that.

Puravida23 · 09/12/2025 10:06

I actually sneakily used both of these for my holiday in November and swapped something else in instead for this door . I rated both of them but especially for the summer or a hot holiday . I loved the smell of the body lotion and I love a facial mist and this one feels very hydrating

SocksAndTheCity · 09/12/2025 13:27

I've never really used face mists regularly but if I have one in my bag I'm more likely to remember, so this is now with my hand cream and lip balm. It feels slightly tacky on my face, but I suppose it's keeping moisture in 😀

The lotion smells lovely - another win! I've always liked their own brand stuff; the handwashes and such are nice too.

I am going to try and put my blusher on again today 😁

Talisin · 10/12/2025 08:00

Glossier birthday lip balm today. Unclear who’s birthday, Santa? Anyway, it’s nice and moisturising, smells of vanilla but is unfortunately sticky so I have had to remove hair from my mouth several times so far.

Talisin · 10/12/2025 08:50

<pokes the thread>

Is everyone so upset it’s only a lipbalm that they can’t bring themselves to post?

Hollyrosehome · 10/12/2025 09:04

Lol @talisin it's fine. I put Glossier in the youth brand market so not particularly premium.

It's fun, tried it on and the sparkles and vanilla are what I was expecting but this may end up with my daughter.

JoRaRaRa · 10/12/2025 09:06

@Talisin 🤣🤣
This was one of the items I swapped out of my ac. I do like sparkles but this just didn't interest me.

Seahorses12 · 10/12/2025 09:07

It's definitely a meh day for me. 1st one so far so we're doing OK. I have a birthday to attend this weekend so it will go towards a gift.

SocksAndTheCity · 10/12/2025 09:09

Is it sparkly? I just put a bit on to try as I already have a lip balm tube in my bag, but I didn't notice (I didn't look in a mirror but I don't have any on my finger)

It does taste nice, and I get through a lot of lip balm so this will get used, sparkles or no ☺️

IDontKnowWhatYouMean · 10/12/2025 09:19

I’m happy with it and will use it, but must admit I did go back and double-check in case there was something else in the drawer with it!

NessShaness · 10/12/2025 09:28

I would have liked to try this, but my daughter has already stolen it 😂

BabyPigeon83 · 10/12/2025 09:29

Another brand I have managed to avoid, I guess I was not the target market. I can't be excited about a clear lip balm but hopefully I will use it. 😄

mynameiscalypso · 10/12/2025 10:08

I am happy with today - it’s nice to have a product that I know I will definitely use and can re-buy if I want without having to take out a second mortgage! I have the pink version of this already and use it a lot.

Hicupping · 10/12/2025 10:16

Meh here too. Sparkles but no colour. Boring.

I'm in my 50's and I've been a Glossier fan since they first launched here about 8 years ago. They do some excellent products - I buy their Stretch Concealer, Boy Brow and Ultra lips on repeat. Unfortunately I had my sell this due to its lanolin content.
