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! 😄💅

I like this one, was it in Liberty last year? I repurchased this summer after trying the smaller bottle.
The only issue I had was the pump seemed to get blocked after a while so I had to faff with manually getting it out of the bottle.

I'm so pleased with today's moisturiser 😍 I can't wait to try this. I have just opened a shiseido moisturiser (from the JL luxe box) which is lovely and this one is a more expensive cream so I have high expectations 🤔

Yep, Day 7 is 15ml of this Shiseido moisturiser- one of the reasons I chose the Harrods BAC was because of the several fancy moisturisers, oh how I love them so. That said this has spf 30 in and the last Shiseido moisturiser I had with spf migrated into my eyes and stung like nothing else - I basically wept it all off my face and then spent all day with bloodshot eyes 😂So, I'll have to make sure to use this in winter/spring when it's still not so hot there's a risk of sweating it off.

Nicely packaged and glad the little pot is glass so easier to recycle than most of these mini sized packets - 15ml is probably a good size for a week away maybe?

Yeah, the mini pots of pure luxury was the reason I bought the calendar too 🤣

Are you going over the eye area with your face cream? I don't put face creams anywhere near my eyes as mine are really sensitive and don't agree with some eye creams and mascaras nevermind face creams. Saying that makes me think I probably should stick to stuff that I know don't irritate my eyes, but I get bored and need to try out new products all the time 🤔

I took a 15ml on my 2 week holiday in summer and came back with some. I then took it with me last weekend for a 4 night break and brought some back with me and I think I have enough left for my 4 night nye break 🤞 it's never ending 🤣 Next year, I plan to continue using the travel pots when I get back as I have accumulated quite a few now.

@JoRaRaRa no, not putting it near my eyes at all - the problem last time was I used it when it was really hot and a bead of sweat washed some from my forehead into my eye. I am quite sensitive to certain sunscreens ( and get a sweaty face quite easily - how attractive!) so this probably isn't something that would affect most users tbf. It is a bit annoying that it's hard for me to use spf when I need it most.

I have a brightening/softening lotion in this FX line which is really nice so have high hopes for this one.

I am happy with this face cream. We are all going to look 10 years younger in 2026!

So far I've used the face cream, mask and blusher and loved them all! The cooling effect of the mask was just what my skin needed and it's such a big tub, will last a long time which is great

The 50ml of this face cream is £375! I picked up an extra one from Vinted for £10 so I now have 30ml. 😃

Such a good idea 😍

Ohh today’s is very lovely. I have to say I am so impressed with this calendar so far.

I am loving everything so far , especially the evidens mask I’m sure my face looked different, as in more kind of sculpted if that makes sense ? It’s so fun trying these mega expensive creams !

Oooh that sounds good @diamondsandrose looking forward to trying that out - my face could do with some sculpting!

Yes, I thought that too when I tried it. It seemed to tighten and depuff my face, making it appear more sculpted 😍 I've invited my sister round on Thursday night to try it with me 🙂 my husband will probably want to join in too 🤣

Today's advent treat is a Sisley toner, 100ml. Not used this before, and I don't have a toner in my normal routine so it'll be interesting to see what this adds. I do tend to like Sisley generally.

The full size of this toner is £92! That is a very expensive toner so hoping for good results.

I'm not at work today so I didn't bother setting an alarm. It is taking me 20 mins now to let out the dog, make a coffee and open my advent calendars and that's not even including the chocolate ones. I've actually not started on the Harrods chocolate bear one, oops! 🙈 It's just too pretty!

Anyway, back to today and the BAC. It's not the most exciting drawer but it's practical. For rosacea sufferers like me, rose is really calming for it, and it's great for any other types of irritated or inflamed skin. I'm looking forward to trying it even though I usually use a spray toner. It'll go into my stash for now as I've already got 2 on the go 💁🏻‍♀️

I have this this in my liberty advent. I think. They kind of all blend together. 🤣
I dont have harrods one but lurking and nosey. May buy next year.
I have rosacea and my skins not usually keen on rose but im hoping it likes this. Will be interested in your thoughts on it ♥️

I haven’t used a toner since Clinique back in the day but I will give this a try.
I tried the Evidens mask last night and my face did look a little smoother or maybe wishful thinking.

Same @JoRaRaRa I didn't set an alarm but then was really confused when I woke up so late😅I'm still fighting off some seasonal respiratory thing and it just won't fully shift. I hadn't actually realised this had rose in, it has a floral smell that's not dominated by the rose I don't think, at least not in the way the black rose range is. I splashed a bit on my cheek and it felt nice and soothing anyway.

Ooh I like this , Sisley is a brand I would never buy as too expensive do this is very fun. I like a toner in the morning , I don’t always do a full cleanse especially if I am going to the gym I’ll just do a sweep of toner to freshen up and then do it properly later. Currently using the medik 8 one from Glossybox advent so this will be next in line .

My (garbled )notes on rough pricing so far ..

Today is the Beautifect beauty blender and the hourglass setting powder. Looking forward to trying these 😍
