Holland & Barrett Advent calendar opening

[Piemam]

Following the general beauty Advent calendar posts, I wondered if anyone would like a H&B opening one? Usually post after 7am so no spoilers.

Yes please I get this calendar every year and enjoy reading along.

Hello, I'm in!
I like today's- I remember getting a serum from this brand a couple of years ago that smelt fantastic. I'm resisting the urge to open it properly for a sniff as I have 2 other masks to get through first.

Ah, I hadn’t spotted this thread and was posting on waifs and strays! Thanks very much for starting it. I’m pleased with today’s and will give it a go this evening.

I could smell it before the tissue paper was off! Like the brand, and this is very welcome as I'm running out of the Summer Fridays Jet Lag mask and that's expensive.

I’m in. I’m going to be good this year and actually treat it as an advent calendar, rather than ripping the whole lot open the minute I receive it!

Quite pleased with this morning’s; I don’t normally have dry skin but the changes in temperature in the last month have left my poor face feeling a bit irritated and sore.

I've got a favourite cleansing balm for the evenings, but will use this for mornings when my current face wash runs out.

Interested to see how this one goes, as it's touted everywhere.

I’ve got this one for the first time as have had the M&S one for a few years now but seemed to be getting a few duplicates. Happy with yesterday’s and this morning’s.

I have put the loose tissue paper back over the box to cover the other items, as I don't want to see the shape and start guessing what they'll be! Anyone else similar? My child is enjoying seeing each day's item too!

Love this morning's! I'm a big bar soap fan and amber is one of my favourite scents.
Box is well ugly though :D

Agree, it’s a lovely scent!

It's a big one as well!

All 3 gifts so far have been great. And I love today’s soap - I love Wild stuff. Lovely smell too.

Not a fan :(
Smells nice but, my armpits are bigger than a dolls. I'll pass this on to someone who likes these (with smaller pits)

I’m pleased with today’s, this size is great for travel!

Today’s is ok. But will probably pass on. It’s tiny!

Not something I'll use, but how would you pass on deodorant, without offending the receiver?!

Dd is having this for our holidays next year ☺️

Very pleased with the items so far

I’ve had similar sizes of Wild deodorant and would agree they are great for travelling. They also last a long longer than you think they will.

Bah, not pleased with today’s. I don’t really do supplements and I don’t suppose oral hyaluronic acid will make any difference.

Ooh, pleasantly surprised by today's item; not strictly a treat, but a nice thing for me that I wouldn't think to buy for myself. I think my skin really needs it too! Side note: my skin hasn't found a suitable topical hyaluronic acid so I am keen to give this a go. A month's supply is a good touch.

I'm guessing some will be lacklustre with this one, but that is the thing with H&B; it does both health and beauty.

Yeah, I mean I clocked the rattle when rearranging my box, so I knew they were coming. I already take some supplements and don't think I'll be adding these. They can hang out in my stash with the biotin from last year :D

Not thrilled, but will give them a try. I did use the biotin last year and carried on with that as a supplement as I noticed a difference.
