*Now with spoilers* Beauty Advent Calendars: 2019 Edit.

[Luna]

Excellent!

[Ella77]

Handy!

I got another eye cream: https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/111skin-sp ... ac-y2.html

On that basis, this sample would cost £55. Jesus.

[Pippedydeadeye]

There’s definitely value in these calendars!

[Ella77]

Kind of, but basically we’re just being ripped off to our faces.

BM is loving her Harry Potter beauty calendar, but she got three handcreams in a row - come on tae fuck Boots, get it together! Even if they just followed the same lipstick - bathbomb - handcream - bubble bath - nail polish pattern on repeat it would be better. I get that there's four of everything because they have four houses, just mix it up a little!

I'm enjoying the M&S calendar because I haven't had it for a year or two, I think alternating between this and a make up one is the budget calendar way to go for me.

[Ella77]

Oh, that could so easily have been avoided !

[Pippedydeadeye]

A really big drawer today for not a huge item.

[Ella77]

How weird! You like Clarins though, I think? Now I’m reassessing the huge 25 drawer on mine .

[Pippedydeadeye]

I do adore that body lotion, well remembered! Some of the things haven’t been proportionate to the size of the drawers, but I suppose (grudging) that that’s part of the suspense.

Well I’ve caved in & opened the rest of the calendar as I needed cheering up Anyway here is yesterday’s and today’s gifts. I’ll post pictures of the rest on Xmas day.

[Ella77]

Today I got a mini version of this Laura Mercier setting powder. I’m still using the mini Hourglass one I got last year . Still, it gets good reviews.

[Pippedydeadeye]

That looks really good.

I’ve just hit pan on my Hourglass powder. There’s a lot of life left in it yet though, which is good because it’s great stuff.

[Ella77]

The one I got last year was a loose one. I’ve still got tons left in the palette I bought about 5 years ago . Products last me FOR EVER :beanface:. They’re so good though.

[Pippedydeadeye]

Funny we were talking about powder!

[Ella77]

Ooh. Is it an Hourglass-style one or more shimmery?

[Pippedydeadeye]

More of a shimmer really, but meant for the same purpose.

[Ella77]

Today I got this lipstick. It looks nice but I know I won’t use it, realistically, especially since it’s matte.

Anybody fancy a New Year red?

[olive]

That looks like a lovely colour, Ella. Shame you won’t get use out of it.

Today I got 3(!) of these sheet masks:

I think yesterday was a Sam McKnight dry shampoo. I’ll have to go back and check. I loved last year’s texturising mist.

[Ella77]

Can I post it to somebody here to take to you ?

[Edith Bacon]

Here are the missing things from mine and olive’s calendars:
19th- Omorovicza Queen of Hungary mist
20th - Sam McKnight dry shampoo
21st - the Skin Laundry masks olive posted
22nd - the obligatory Nars orgasm but with a twist this year!
