I haven’t seen one. My husband gave me the LF one this morning. I last had it maybe 3 years ago and I really loved it.

I have got the LF Fragrance calendar & have been looking for a thread to share openings with but cannot find one. So, I have joined the waifs & strays one 🎄

alloutofcareunits · 01/12/2025 17:37

I’ve got this one, just opened today’s, pleased with it ☺️something new to try

I didn’t know there was a fragrance one. Now I want that too.

yes I opened mine it’s my birthday we went up the O2 and I like the Elemis Rose moisturiser I’m hiding the entire calendar as 19yo DS is too interested in skincare I also used it on my hands. my aim is to actually use it all up as I’m a terrible save-it-for-bester

I used it today and it was lovely, but I like moisturiser to have SPF, so I wouldn’t buy it.

@brightnailsThat’s exactly what I’ve been scrolling to find tonight and couldn’t. Will we make this one the thread?
Pretty chuffed with my Elemis moisturiser yesterday, prob will gift the hair product to my DH as I don’t like too many products in my hair, it’s quite fine and looks dull if I “over product” 😂

brightnails · 02/12/2025 23:07

welcome @pollydollydoodleallthewayI’m a bit of a hair product whore but I ran out of conditioner literally in the shower so I put a load of the Aveda on and going to bed with slightly damp hair coz I’m tired after running

I put the Aveda leave in aside for my holiday in February and the L’Occitane hand cream will be good in my hand luggage as it’s a long flight. Impressed so far.

pollydollydoodlealltheway · 03/12/2025 22:01

I love a handcream so will save this one for when my current tube is finished.

brightnails · 04/12/2025 08:00

the hand cream seems nice I go through loads, 13yo tried it too. The item for today won’t spoil it also is worth a try coz I’ll try anything for that area 😳and I don’t have anything by them

Happy to make this the thread! Perhaps link it in the waifs and strays to make a group?

Fleecy · 04/12/2025 11:56

I've been on waifs and strays as well - I have LF. Enjoying it so far. I use the Aveda as my go to conditioner (have fine and straight hair) and snap up beauty boxes and kits when it's in them so I never pay full price. Day 2 was therefore one of the reasons I bought the LF calendar.

Fifiellz · 04/12/2025 11:59

I have LF too, love the Elemis moisturisers so that was a good start. Yesterday I found a bit blah as I seem to get that hand cream in every calendar and glossy box. Really liked today’s offering and have high hopes for it.

GumFossil · 04/12/2025 12:04

I was pleased with today’s. Tip - a little goes a very long way.

Helpful to know for tomorrow morning when I open it! 😁

I mean I recall getting L’Occitane free with a magazine years ago but it’s reminds me of lovely France this year

I love a hand cream but I had this one in an a/c last year and didn't get on with it. It smells like baby lotion/wipes which I think is a love-it-or-hate-it smell.

BellissimoGecko · 04/12/2025 15:03

I’m very pleased with my LF calendar this year! Love the hand cream and Elemis. I got the hair conditioner in the M&S beauty calendar before, and it’s ok.

pollydollydoodlealltheway · 04/12/2025 18:05

I’ve had products from REN in an advent calendar before and really liked them and re purchased so have high hopes for today’s!

pollydollydoodlealltheway · 04/12/2025 18:07

Should we make a wee group rule that we don’t mention the product until a certain time? Is 10am too early??

Sadteacher · 04/12/2025 21:02

Joining… I opened my M&S advent in November so can’t remember what is coming on my LF. I think the first 3 have been lovely, love all the brands. Though eyes are small and I have enough eye creams to last me until I’m 90!
