Is there a Look fantastic advent calendar opening thread?

happy to delete this if there is?

I love the Rodial Dragons Blood products, they smell gorgeous, but are crazy expensive so I’d never buy them. Put some of the mask on immediately as woke up feeling very dehydrated.

It’s from trees but not a nice name; #savethedragons 🐉

DS4 has taken out every box today (with my blessing!) and it’s now a makeshift house for his Tonies. And I’m very pleased to now be using the rest of the items!

This was my first LF calendar, having got the M&S one the last few years. It’s been good and I imagine I’ll treat myself again next year too 🤶🏻

The prices of last weeks things if you love them enough to buy the full size! Just shows what a super value calendar it is.
Quite a sensible one today but I’ll definitely use it. I’ll be sad when I’ve finished this calendar.

Thrilled with the candle. White Company another super brand.

Last window tomorrow. I’ve really enjoyed this calendar. I had liberty last year and it was gorgeous but the products were so expensive if you wanted to buy them again, this feels so much more affordable and the products have been lovely. Enjoyed this thread too. Have a lovely Christmas everyone x

I had to open mine early as need the space for tomorrow but I was well pleased with the 25th offering and I
think this was the best year yet in terms of value for money - some great products in there!

I haven't posted before but have been following the thread. Am thrilled with this year's box! My 4th from LF. Today's offering is great.

I'll use everything, but with a question mark over the Iconic setting mist, not sure how to use it, especially as I don't wear foundation.

Merry Christmas all!

Likewise, today's great and my first LF calendar. Very pleased with it.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I thought it was a lovely way to finish the calendar yesterday. I am moving on with Jarrolds 12 day now over the Christmas break.

I usually go for Liberty, F&M, Harrods or similar and I've been impressed with this. I thought it was excellent value for money and there's been some really good stuff in here. And as @pollydollydoodlealltheway says, any repurchases are likely to be affordable rather than completely unattainable.

I’ve used up the Elemis face cream and the Nue magnesium spray on my restless legs. working through everything else which was my intention. can’t wait for next year

I’m sad the calendar is over! I’ve absolutely loved it and very grateful my husband chose it without any prompting. I think there was only one duff day that I can think of - the wrist bands. Most of it was exceptional.

I thought it was a really good advent calendar and lots of things I’ll genuinely use.

@GumFossil I thought the same about the wristbands but I’ve started using them and they’re actually great!
what was everyone’s favourite window? Have to say I was v impressed with the MAC lipstick and pencil and loving the Elemis night cream.

I’ve had my head completely turned by the Elemis hydrating day cream and think I’m going to buy it as my old moisturiser just can’t compete. It is a lot more than I would usually spend on this kind of product so have been deliberating as I’ve already spent so much this month. Boots have some kind of offer on at the moment so might get from there unless I can find it cheaper elsewhere.

I have had a lot of beauty boxes and advent calendars over the years but I have to say my skin this month is the smoothest ever. Am super impressed.

I didn’t get Elemis night cream? I got the rose day cream only.

@GumFossil it was around the middle of the month

After being lucky enough to be given the Harrods calendar last year, I didn't think any calendar would match that. However, I think this has been amazing and actually better in some ways as I can afford to buy the products in the future, unlike most of the ones in the Harrods box!

Favourites were the Mac lip selection, Elemis creams, and the Iconic spray. The only item I would not use, and thought was an odd choice, was the collagen capsules. After thinking WTF, I actually love the wrist bands now I know what they are for!

I'm particularly enjoying the Peter Thomas Roth facewash that smells of peaches

The last email for those who don’t get it! X

Ag! Yes I got that. I was looking for Elemis, not ESPA.

Something funny going on there. No way is that candle £175, so I would take these prices with a pinch of salt!

Oh sorry says that's the 2kg version ...

I’ve been extremely pleased with the calendar, some things I’d never buy so excited to use them, and some I know I love. The lipstick was a colour I’d never buy but I’ve just tried it and it actually looks great, makes me look a bit younger 😂 so maybe shows my usual choices are dated… have a good 2026 everyone
