Re: Advent calendars?
They are both good hauls Wiggle!
I never know what to do with a glittery body oil Dutchie, I find the idea of being covered in glitter a bit odd!
Yesterday was a fragrance society hand cream, peony, poppy and barley, which sounds like it might smell nice, but thanks to bastarding Covid I can’t smell anything.
Today was a factor 30 lipbalm, which I’ve had before, but which was great over this summer, so I’m pleased to have another.

Glitter body oil !
We got a small bottle of Le Labo Thé Matcha 26 today. I got a bottle of their Thé Noir in a calendar years ago and really liked it, and this is clearly from the same family, but it’s much brighter and greener (?) at the front. I like it!

I think I'll take Tab's advice and wear it to the roller disco! I have no idea when I will ever feel the moment is right for this body oil but I will report back when I do!
That Thé Matcha sounds lovely Ella!

Re: Advent calendars?
The only bad thing about advent calendars is when you wake up on the 26th and realise you are no longer going to have a little treat each day, sad times.
We had a 25th present in the M&S one, which was a Clinique dramatically different mascara, so very pleased with that.

My sil was given the John Lewis advent calendar by her Mum but she can't use most of the products as she has sensitive skin so she gave them to me and the girls yesterday.
We were delighted going through it all.

Re: Advent calendars?
Is, what a treat. I bet that’s a good calendar.
The final thing in the Liberty calendar was a mini candle. I didn’t know they had their own range of candles, and it smells really nice. Not Christmassy, which is good.
I know it’s unlikely, but does anybody have any use for the empty calendar before I chuck it? It’s so nicely made, but storage space is at a premium.

One of my nephews asked for some Hotel Chocolat for Christmas. When I went in, they were selling their little Christmas boxes like 10 reindeer for £8.50 but also their advent calendars for £6.50 (for 24 chocs) so I bought him an advent calendar. He’s delighted and eating it one a day.

That last candle smells lovely (although I haven’t lit it yet due to my cough!)

Re: Advent calendars?
Don't think I would bother with the Marks one again. Too much fine hair stuff and wasn't impressed with much of the other products. Did like the This Works primer/moisturiser and the Nordic C night moisturiser.

I agree Speedy. No more M&S for me.
