I haven’t got round to trying the La Mer moisturiser yet but am expecting great things!
I like the Sisley toner which I have nearly finished. Not sure the eyelash serum has done anything but am using it daily when I remember. Gave my mum the eyebrow serum as I really don’t need that. I also gave her the mascara.
Will be trying the MZ eye cream in a few days as nearly got through the pot I have on the go. Have high hopes for it. 😃

I'm using the MZ at the minute. It's really nice.

I used up the Valmont cream, there's a review here if anyone is interested but the TLDR is it's nice but not hundred's of £££ nice.

I'm sure I've used some other stuff but I can't remember what. 😂

Oh yes, I forgot about the champo serums, I haven't really noticed any difference from using the brow serum for the last month. I've had to stop using the lash serum as it was itching my eyes.

After reading your reviews I am thinking I might keep the Valmont until the spring and use the La Mer first. Seems it might be better for winter skin.

Yes, definitely. The la mer is really good for winter skin. The valmont is lovely, but it's lighter, it does a nice glow to it though 😍

I have liked the Evidens mask, have used the serum in the white square bottle and that was nice on my skin.
I have managed to mislay the moisturiser in the green tub? The puppy got hold of it and gave it a chew! I picked it up and put it somewhere too safe!
I do need to use some of the other products received.

I feel like I've still got a lot untested, which will be exciting when I eventually get to them! I loved the hair mask and have repurchased x 3 in the January cult beauty 40% off freak code. I've enjoyed the perfume and bought another of those off vinted immediately as well, although when the 2 minis are done I won't get a full bottle as it's a strong like rather than a must-have. Not mad on the blush drops as they don't blend that well imo. I really like the MZ skin eye cream, I'm using that up still but also have a Tatcha eye cream on the go so will take forever, and I'm also really enjoying the mini indigo cream from Tatcha that looked incredibly stingy at the time, but is just what my skin needs in winter apparently. Also using the eyebrow serum but struggling to be consistent so zero results so far. Like @JoRaRaRa I also bought an extra UBeauty serum, but then I promptly stopped using it - no reason, just trying to use up other stuff so I'll be happy when I get back to using that. I've not actually used any of the other fancy moisturisers that drew me to the calendar yet, so I still have a lot to discover.

I also really like the CR hair mask. Love the Tatcha night cream so much I paid real money for a full size. The MZ eye cream
is a firm favourite and the main reason why I purchased, not tried anything else yet. Oh apart from the cleanser which as report is a bit drying.

I love the Evidens mask, Tatcha indigo cream, brow serum, skin cycles lip tint and eye patches and repurchased all of them cheaply on Vinted (thank you to those of you who sold them on 😆). I also love the Bobbi brown eyeshadow stick and bought a few more shades.

Unlike some of you I love the rodial blush drops! I apply three dots then tap many times with my finger, it leaves me with a very glowy no makeup look which really works for me.

I like the Valmont and La Mer creams but they don't layer well for me, so I only use them occasionally. I didn't like the shiseido cream, mascara, lipstick or either of the leave in conditioners. The Christophe robin scrub & mask I used up but wouldn't repurchase, I thought they were just 'fine' for my hair. The MZ eye cream gave me milia. I tried the lash serum and at first it irritated my eyes. I decided to try again and it was fine and I do think it's made my lashes thicker. They're not any longer (yet) though, so I'll probably finish the tube but I wouldn't repurchase.

What did you not like about the Shiseido cream? I haven’t tried that one yet - was keeping it spring/summer.

I found it a little bit irritating on my skin, probably because it has spf in - I much prefer a separate moisturiser & spf

@BlueLimes I'll definitely RP the indigo cream in the future, it's so lovely. Stupidly I didn't try it before the fukubaro (sp?) event otherwise I'd probably have bought it already.
