I doubt they have included The Ordinary to "keep Estée Lauder happy". The AC is a way to showcase the Space NK brands and Soace NK sell The Ordinary so it is an understandable inclusion. I don't mind it. I don't find it an exciting drawer, but I discovered The Ordinary Cleansing Balm from a previous calendar and I have rebought it. The last two days have been so generous, so in comparison it is far less exciting.

This is not a bad day, less luxurious for sure but I'll find use for this as I do use acids in my routine.

Hollyrosehome · 17/12/2025 10:22

Ooh although not exciting I'd rather a useful meh! I've really enjoyed most of the new-to-me products so far and I've not opened quite a few things yet.

Delighted with this calendar!

Hopeandfaith1990 · 17/12/2025 10:51

FYI for anyone who didn’t get a lip liner a few drawers back, I contacted space NK and they are sending a replacement out 🙏🏻

Seahorses12 · 17/12/2025 12:02

I'll give this a try, it has great reviews on SNK. Overall I think this calendar has been brilliant so far, I love all these new products to try and am using many of them immediately!

NorthFaceofthelaundrypile · 17/12/2025 12:08

Bit boring, but will get used. DS uses it a couple of times a week on his armpits.
Im really liking The Ordinary scalp serum at the moment, so that would have been my choice.

TheToteBagLady · 17/12/2025 12:22

I think we’ve been pretty spoilt. I’ve been getting advent calendars for about ten years, and I think this SpaceNK has to be my favourite

MiaN · 17/12/2025 12:29

Oh absolutely, it's really great. But with 35 items, 26 full size - it's impossible that everyone will like every single item. Today was not for me but I am not remotely disappointed in any way from the advent so far

TheToteBagLady · 17/12/2025 12:39

Oh I agree @MiaN I was also a little disappointed when I opened this morning’s box, but that’s a testament to how brilliant it has been

BlueLimes · 17/12/2025 13:16

I also think the calendar has been fab but I think it’s ok to say when we’re disappointed- hopefully SNK are reading 🤣
if they are - Lisa Eldridge lipstick or lip gloss next year please and a slightly more plummy blush 🎄

I have used the toner before, and its a nice product. But ill be passing this onto someone else, as i think it will be a while before i even get round to using it!

Did you get the Space NK advent last year? There was a gorgeous Lisa Eldridge lipstick in it. I’m wearing it every day at the moment. It’s a creamy red tone.

I had Liberty last year.
I tried a red colour in store and it was lovely and stayed it after a meal.

This calendar is better than last years Liberty imo.
Ive previously had Fortnums but have really enjoyed having more of a mix of products in SNK. Tbf today is the only day I’ve felt a bit disappointed, diamond shoes and all that ..

I had only just finished using up the products from last years SNK calendar before I started opening this years!x

Is this the painterly shade that is popping up on Vinted quite a lot ? I managed to get it from there for cheap.
I like the formula as it's creamy and perfect for winter, but the ones that really last long on the lips are the velvets. 😁

BlueLimes · 17/12/2025 17:43

I was just thinking about this toner before I pop on vinted.

Is there any need for this if using a retinol serum?
or is it more like an exfoliating thing? In which case if you use a peel or scrub you wouldn’t need this as well?

Just catching up on posts. I saw a lip liner mentioned I thought I didn’t have one of those. Just went back and checked and I had left it in the calendar so thank you whoever mentioned it.
I’ve been really happy with this calendar also have the Look Fantastic fragrance one and very pleasantly with this too,

bigdecisionstomake · 17/12/2025 18:53

Thank you to all of you who clarified the fragrance of the Eve Lom mask. I find the smell of the cleanser slightly off putting so pleased to hear the mask is a different fragrance 🙂

JoRaRaRa · 17/12/2025 19:31

Spacenk are also replacing my missing lip liner 🥰 it's meant to be arriving tomorrow, I can't wait to try it with the lip oil 😁

I use an AHA toner in the morning and also use a retinoid at night. I do think my skin is better since using both but obviously wear a ton of spf! My strategy is to use an many collagen boosting products in one day as humanly possible

Yes, it’s painterly Smile

I used the cream mist tonight and it was lovely. My skin is really suffering as I work in a cold environment

Batteriesoptional · 18/12/2025 06:06

Another good morning for me. Did feel like I was having a senior moment when trying to open it but that might be because it’s early!

BlueLimes · 18/12/2025 07:04

Pleased with the eye cream. Have we had everything you could possibly need for our faces ?!

Bonus pic of my Harrods items 😊

Have great day 🎄
