Thanks to the wonders of Lemsip, I can smell both of the perfumes now - I have one on each arm! The vanilla is quite sweet on me, it’s quite a simple vanilla and I think I prefer one a bit more spicy/complex but it’s nice if I want something simple. Love the Debaser; it reminds me of a more subtle version of a Comme des Garçons perfume that I had a few years ago called Black Pepper. I really liked it but it was very peppery whereas this has the same notes but is a bit more rounded. I may have to save up and treat myself to a small bottle.

I don't mind the perfumes from today, it's a nice surprise because we had no perfumes so far. Also getting two feels like a treat. I thought this is the end of the calendar but there a door for 25. 😲

Happy Christmas All! Another great product but if I’m entirely honest, after the build up of the previous 24 drawers I was anticipating more of a grand finale. And in this regard, it falls short for me. That said, this has been a fabulous introduction to the world of BAC and I feel very lucky to now have a cabinet full of great new products. I can honestly say that I will use all of them - apart from the CT disco wand which I tried, admittedly heavy handedly, and left me looking like I had a scorched forehead. Further proof that I don’t get on with CT products! Thank you all for your company this month, I’ve also learnt lots from you. Hope to see you all next year!

Merry Christmas all! What a great calendar this has been, so glad that I went for SNK this year. It’s been the best that I’ve had in recent years. I got one of today’s in an advent calendar last year (I think) and I’m delighted to have it again as it was my favourite product from that calendar but too spendy for me to justify buying again.

Seahorses12 · 25/12/2025 08:46

Merry Christmas to all! I love today's La Mer lip volumiser. It was in last year's Liberty advent, as @mynameiscalypso mentioned, and I used it every day since. It's just about to run out, so this is perfect timing!

I also added a Augustiner Bader tinted pink lip balm to the drawer two months ago! So that was a nice surprise.

I've loved this calendar, it's been total luxury and I have enough beauty products to last me a whole year.

lovely last day, I am pleased with this advent. I did say there are too many lip products, but full size La Mer is not something I ever had so it feels like a real treat!

Happy Christmas

My calendar only had the lip treatment, is there supposed to be another product? X

Doglover73 · 25/12/2025 10:16

No just one. They added another ♥️

Merry xmas everyone. Loved this thread. Thank you for helping me keep my sanity at a stressful time of year. ♥️

NessShaness · 25/12/2025 10:55

Lovely product today I’m very happy!

It’s been such a joy sharing this advent calendar with you all, so thank you x

BlueLimes · 25/12/2025 10:59

Merry Christmas everyone! I had a great time sharing the excitement with you all. The last door feels very luxurious as it's definitely something I would not indulge myself. All in all the calendar was great value and great fun talking about it so thank you all.

Merry Christmas everyone! It’s been lovely catching up with everyone every day and building up the Christmas excitement!

I used the La Mer at church this morning.
felt like a Russian oligarchs wife in a good way

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm away until Sunday so I'm looking forward to getting my perfumes and my lip thing then, but I've enjoyed everyone keeping me posted here.

I haven't had an advent calendar for a few years mostly because of the expense, but like some PP I think I've been really lucky to pick this one and bar a handful of misses I'm thrilled to have so many lovely products to get though, especially since I'm on the No Buy 2026 from next week 😀

I have this AB lip balm and it's really good.

forgetmeknot8 · 07/01/2026 19:53

Has anyone else’s Medik8 peptide lost its thread on the pump? It keeps popping off. It’s really annoying as I want to buy another one as it’s so good, but don’t want to spend £££ for shit packaging that will dry out the serum

TheToteBagLady · 08/01/2026 14:47

No, @forgetmeknot8 No issues with mine. How annoying.

How is everyone finding the products? I used the K18 hair oil on my hair last night, and it looks and feels horrendous today, really greasy. I don’t think I used too much of it, and I didn’t go near the roots.

Loving everything else though (oh, apart from the scent of the Space NK body lotion).

SocksAndTheCity · 08/01/2026 15:20

Mine is OK too @forgetmeknot8 and I've been using it every evening but I'll bear that in mind and be extra careful with it.

I'm very happy with everything I've tried so far; I've swapped a couple of things and have a few bits of makeup I won't use, but the skincare and hair stuff is all great and I'm even using the eye cream when I remember.

I didn't think I'd ever get excited about a shower gel/oil, but I love the smell of the SdJ one so much I will be buying it again (and I like the SpaceNKbody lotion too) Smile

Doglover73 · 08/01/2026 15:51

I didnt like the k18 oil when I previously tried it. Just didnt suit my hair. I sold mine on x

OvaHere · 08/01/2026 17:11

I'm using the oil as my previous oil ran out. It's fine but not one I'd buy. I'm not a fan of dropper delivery systems - just give me a pump.

Seahorses12 · 08/01/2026 17:59

I'm loving the SDJ shower oil, but using it in the bath and look forward to it all the time! I'm also using the Gisou lip oil every day, and alternating it with La Mer lip balm. I love the Lisa Eldridge mascara, and the Westman Atelier blush, also use daily. I found the Tatcha serum made my pigmentation worse (!), so I stopped using it, and after a break I am now going to start with the Medik8 peptides or the Augustinus Bader Retinol. I love the cleansing balm from Then I met you and I love the Phlur Vanilla Perfume. Like others, the K18 oil didn't improve my hair, unfortunately nor did the Olaplex.

JoRaRaRa · 08/01/2026 18:39

The sdj shower oil is lovely 😍 smells so nice!
I've just started using the cleansing gelee, I quite like it, especially considering the price of it. It doesn't really smell of anything and I like the texture, it foams up nicely and is easy to remove, leaving my face feeling clean and fresh but not dry or tight 🥰 Definitely something I'd repurchase if I ever run out of cleansers 🤣
Also liking the WA blush, Gisou lip oil (although I prefer my clarins one), color wow treatment and the rare eyeshadow stick.
I was excited to try out the K18 oil, I hope it doesn't make my hair look greasy too 😩

Doglover73 · 09/01/2026 16:43

Oh im going to open my cleanser as need a change. Mine atm are quite drying

BlueLimes · 09/01/2026 19:14

Wondering about selling my hair oil. My hair is quite fine.
agree - love the shower gel - my favourite SDJ fragrance (I’ve extensive experience of them
due to teen DD).
