Oh Come All Ye Facials! Moisturisers and treatments! Join me for the Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar opening thread!

[LightandBreezy]

Let's discuss the treats and countdown together to what will no doubt be our most beautiful day of the year! 😄💅
@Bluelimes @Pinkchampagne1

I thought OP said
O come all ye Fascists...

🤣🙈

@BlueLimes get on vinted and see if there's any at a bargain price 🥰

Had a quick look - I’ll be biting after I’ve finished sorting my food shop. Do I need 2 Colin the Caterpillars?!

@Bluelimes did you get one in the end? (The face oil, not Colin 😂)

Day 21 is the BOND, J'AIME BOND conditioner by MONCHO MORENO. I had to google what this was and apparently it's a repairing and protective spray cream conditioner. Of all the possible hair products to be included in a calendar I only really wanted/needed a leave-in conditioner so I'm curious to use this, and 100ml is a decent size, but also find the calendar curation a little odd here. 2 of the 4 hair products are both leave-in conditioners, why do that? In my case no serious complaints because I'm just deeply glad it's not another bottle of hair oil ( I have too many from GWPs) But like the 2 moisturisers in a row we had a couple of days ago, it's just not that well-thought out perhaps.

I’m pleased uo try this but agree with you @LightandBreezy also thank you for your skincare advice earlier this week.
I haven’t got the oil yet - I’m planning a shopping session after my gym visit this morning 😊

I feel the same @LightandBreezy quite happy with the product on its own, but confused as to why we have 2 hair conditioners in the calendar.

I'm sure last year they didn't include haircare in the main ac because they did the hair and body calendar. I've bought the hair and body ac this year, so it's a bit strange that so much haircare has been included in the main one this time. Another perfume would've been good or a cleansing balm. I wonder who determines the order of them. It felt like it was well thought out at the beginning and now it's just shove anything anywhere, it'll do 🤣

I feel the same about today’s. It is very similar to the other leave in conditioner and JoRaRaRa is correct, they didn’t include hair products last year which I also assumed was because of the separate hair calendar. We got 2 different fragrances last year, which I would have preferred.

I am not sure on a face oil. I have used the Sunday Riley one before and it made me break out.
I wonder if my rosacea skin would like this one?

@Isabelle70 do you know what tends to make your skin react? Website says it calms redness and is soothing so 🤞🏻

That's the ingredients and the website blah

Today was a hair wash day for me so I thought I’d try out my new advent treat… I really like it! Nice smooth bouncy blow dry and my hair isn’t greasy or heavy from it, even the husband commented how nice my hair looked so it’s a win for me.

Happy with today’s box 😃

Today’s is one of the reasons why I purchased the calendar. The rrp is £120, I really rate it.
It also lasts a long time imo.

Also really pleased with today's drawer 😍 I have it in my notes that the eye masks are worth £36 together too, so they're expensive little things 😀 I've been trying to squeeze out the last bits of my eye cream, so I'm starting on this today! I have had an eye cream from mz skin before that I bought in tkmaxx, but I had to throw it, I kept it in my stash for too long and by the time I came to use it, it was clumpy. So I recommend using this as your next eye cream, just in case 😊

Definitely a favourite drawer. I love an eye mask and eye cream.

i already have a full pot of this eye cream! So this may be on my swap list if there is one on MN.

I’d love to swap - is there anything you’re interested in ?

Oh fab. Oh gosh I don’t know. Shall we wait to the end and we can maybe have a swaps list if people fancy it? We did something similar on last years Liberty calendar group and I think it worked well.

Good idea 😊

I’ve a few spacenk things as well.

Today's drawer is great, very generous and was a joy to open as I left the house stupidly early today - too early to post so I'm finally here on my very late lunch break. I'll also be starting this immediately, it was one of the reasons I went for this calendar in the first place and I'm conveniently all out of eye cream.

I'd also be up for trying to co-ordinate some kind of swaps list, I've got some good bits I was going to list on Ebay but will hold off for a bit.

I've also spent all day in a really stuffy and dry building and feel a bit like I've been dried out as a result - feels like time to break out one of those luxe moisturisers 😁The question is which one do I go for? Has anyone tried the Valmont yet?

@LightandBreezy my night cream is very close to finishing so thinking of using these minis up next before they get forgotten about. The Valmont is top of the list.
