I’m not overly impressed, only because they do nothing for me and I won’t use them. They’re another brand that seem to have been in every beauty box/advent calendar over the last couple of years.

Still lots of doors to open though and there was always going to be a few things I didn’t like!

Agreed, I’ve always found this brands products a bit ‘meh’ but you’re right there’s still a lot to go! I’m keen to get back to the facial skincare type products tbh

I'm really pleased with today's 😍 I like the color wow spray and I was running low. I've never used the Repair and Resurfacing treatment, but I took it straight to the shower with me 🤣 Hoping I have dreamy hair later 💁🏻‍♀️

I'm looking forward to trying these after I got the shampoo and conditioner in some GWP a while back and liked them (although not enough to switch from Pureology).

Anything that might help with the frizz in the damp weather is worth a go for me, plus if they're no good it's likely saved me a few quid because I probably would have bought the spray at some point.

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.

Add the coloured brow product then the gel.
Sorry bit behind on here 😍
I always touch up a bit after if needed. To think, i used to wish my brow hair would stop growing as I had to pluck daily. 🤷
Now im wishing for a miracle growth spurt 🤣

WeAreBorg · 12/12/2025 07:53

My first draw of underwhelm
I’ve still got some other colour wow things to use up and not sure if they do much tbh

on a positive note I’ve finally used up my current vit c serum so I can start the tatcha one tomorrow! Yay!

TheToteBagLady · 12/12/2025 07:53

Happy with today, but hoping for more skincare now. I’m not even opening the little booklet that came with the calendar, because I really don’t want to see spoilers (I think they’re not in order of contents).
I did check the contents before I bought it, but have completely forgotten.
I’m really pleased with it.

I tried on the red lipliner from yesterday, and red looks ridiculous on me, no matter how much blending I do. The gloss is pretty clear though.

BelindaLouisa · 12/12/2025 08:00

I am also a bit meh about today’s. I’ve tried the spray before and I subsequently gave the large bottle from last year away. I’m more enthused about the conditioning treatment though, hopefully that’ll be good (wish it was a bit bigger though!)

Talisin · 12/12/2025 08:14

Never actually tried any Colour Wow products - gave last year’s to a friend who’s hair type it sounded a better match to. Will give these a whirl over Christmas when I don’t need to leave the house so any hair disasters will be hidden from the general population!

bigdecisionstomake · 12/12/2025 08:38

Today's is a DoD for me so will probably sell on Vinted at some point. Despite this I am loving the calendar and accept there will always be a few bits that aren't for me.

After @NessShaness advised to look at a swatch online I tried out yesterday's lip oil and am delighted with it. There is only a hint of colour so it's not overwhelming at all and my lips felt lovely and soft when I went to bed. I also tried it over the lip liner and that just re-inforced that red lips are not for me so will be letting my niece have that as she rocks a red lip.

Hicupping · 12/12/2025 09:09

@Doglover73 I've been using minoxidil on mine, been using since March. However last night I spotted 1 solitary long hair on my left brow. That's it. That's my growth. Too funny to pluck so it's stll there.

Hopeandfaith1990 · 12/12/2025 09:50

Just an FYI, I've contacted Space NK about the lip pencil - will update on their response!

BlueLimes · 12/12/2025 10:01

A very average day for me but pleased overall with what we have.
Harrods was a Taupe Bobbi Brown eye colour so I’ll be pooping that on vinted.

I had one of these sitting for so long until friend raved about how great they are. The best finishing spray - my hair looks so good if I use it before blow drying. Very happy to try the other product too

The aldi dupe of the spray is good. I don't always get on with aldi dupes but I do like that one. Means I can then save some of the actual CW spray for when I go on holiday 😊

Caggie09 · 12/12/2025 14:00

I think i got my very first Dream Coat in an AC many years ago, and used it since! So im happy with todays! Never uses the treatment so looking foward to giving it ago😊

mynameiscalypso · 12/12/2025 15:50

I find CW products a bit hit and miss but pleased to have these, especially the conditioning treatment. I really like the CW Money Mist so I’m a bit disappointed it’s not that but I can’t really complain too much!

Enjoy your poop, although not sure anyone would buy it after that

I recant my dismissive comment on the lip liner and gloss - wore them today and really like them both. Gloss does not last long but feels lovely and my lips feel soft and conditioned tonight. I’ve lots of hair care products on the go at the moment so today’s product are unlikely to be opened for a while. That said I’ve no discipline so a while might be next Thursday.

Oh dear, second DoD in a row for me...

Talisin · 13/12/2025 07:40

I had no idea Dyson did anything other than electricals. It says to put the serum on after styling - which with my fine hair would immediately remove any style I had managed to achieve!

No comment on the purple plastic thingy.

NessShaness · 13/12/2025 07:41

I’m on the fence with this one. I’ve never used it, and it’s expensive to buy at around £40.

I will use it, I just don’t feel very excited about it. I did find that with last years calendar, I did end up loving some of the items I felt a bit “meh” about on opening, so I won’t write it off just yet!
