Is there a Look fantastic advent calendar opening thread?

[brightnails]

happy to delete this if there is?

Anyone tried this collagen brand? I take powder collagen but will try these.

I’ve taken the collagen tablets but now thinking I should save them until I assess the effect the other items are having, I want any improvement to be attributable to a specific item if that makes sense.think the ESPA cream is definitely making my lines at side of my mouth less obvious. I feel like shit and fear it is flu despite being jabbed. So I was expecting to look worse than I do this morning! (My DH tried to tie my hair up with the wrist protector things!)

I’ve worn actual sweatbands to do triathlons coz other ladies were doing it so they’re not just for washing your face 🤷🏽‍♀️

The weekly overview for those who don’t receive the email!

I haven’t had any emails. But then that’s because my husband bought it.

I see the eyeshadow palette last night - really gorgeous and I used the setting spray. Makeup was perfect after a very late (4am) night.

I found the emails now. today’s eye mask is ok tho I’m still searching for a real solution for my dark circles. already had a lot of money injected into them

Today’s is a bit of a disappointment tbh, but to be fair it’s the first box I’ve opened and not been that impressed!

2nd duff box for me.

Other one was the silly wrist bands.

I put the eye patches on. Meh.

Today's was much better!

Today's is very nice!

Today’s made up for yesterdays!

I’ve just noticed there’s a Christmas Day window too 🙌🏼

I thought I was going bonkers seeing a Christmas window, that’s not usual in an advent calendar is it?

I am also liking today’s. Annoyed tbh that my eye/face/cheek is still so bruised and sore as trying a new expensive serum etc is not exactly the “pleasurable and luxurious smoothing on etc” experience I would like! I’m thinking I should have saved it for a Jadvent. Still, having the products to try is exciting and makes me happy.

Very pleased with today’s- Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense, I could do with a hydrating serum so this is welcome.

Yesterdays is useful but not exciting. I know the Avant products are expensive but I've never known anyone to buy them, only to pick them up in edits and calendars.

Today's is good for me as I needed some new brushes and had forgotten that there were some in this. Saves me looking out in the sales!

Yesterday’s Avant alarmed me slightly with the patch test warning - but then I think, well it must do something if it’s that strong! Will report back when I use it Today’s will be going to a DD as I don’t really wear make up enough to need new brushes, and they look like a good set.

With classic December luck, I have managed to bang the other side of my face so now have two black eyes! And a cheekbone that is starting an impressive bruise and is too sore to smooth any luxury creams into.

Still very excited to have a Day 25 (but isn’t the time going so terribly quickly!)

Have received compliments re. my skin since I started using the Elemis and ESPA products. Makes me wonder how rough did I look before?😅

I’m very pleased with the calendar, for some reason I put each days gift back into the drawer and don’t use any until the New Year, no idea why though 😂

Just realised, I must have been extra excited about the eyeshadow as I’ve used that tonight when I got ready to go out for tea

Super impressed today. Great brand and to get the shampoo and conditioner together is even better. My M&S calendar split them over two days.

I was pleased to get both in one. I can always use shampoo and conditioner and haven't tried these before, although I do have a couple of their other products. It's much better to have them in one go. Otherwise the surprise element would be rather lacking tomorrow!

I’ve just used the shampoo and conditioner in the shower after Parkrun. I’m sulphate free and didn’t check it properly but due for another keratin treatment anyway

I feel I’m getting well stocked up for my winter sun holiday with the recent gifts!

Just read the reviews on today’s mask and I look forward to trying it. Another expensive brand it seems.

The name of today's has put me off a bit but the reviews are great and John Lewis sell it for £59 so...
