Sounds a bit like Collagen in texture from the reviews. I’ve struggled with the thicker texture of collagen but it works and is worth trying.

Think I’ll wait to see what is in the Calendar then build a system from it.

• Anti-ageing – Vitamin C is a natural collagen booster that improves your skin’s elasticity, texture, and quality, making it appear younger and firmer.
• Dehydrated skin – Vitamin C strengthens your skin barrier, helps your skin lock in the moisture, and prevents moisture loss from your skin’s surface. Hydrated skin is healthy skin that looks plump and feels soft and smooth.
• Dark circles and hyperpigmentation – The unique anti-spot property of vitamin C lightens dark circles without altering your normal skin’s pigmentation.
   

Formulated With

Quite pleased with this as worried about Vichy exfoliator still not having being restocked.

The Vichy one clears up blemishes, so need to find an equivelent, not sure if this does the same but worth a try.

Hopefully the Vichy one will be restocked soon as it works really well.

The Apricot seeds remind me of an old favourite exfoliator, think it was St Ives

This was my exfolitor as a teenager.

Love this product and the fragrance great memories

Do the math lol!!!

You could compare these if you wanted too.

I compared st Ives to Vichy and opted for Vichy so not sure where this is going?

Vichy is more gentle than St Ives so is suited for sensitive skin, hopefully the No7 one is more gentle than St Ives then.

No7 Pro Artist Eyeshadow Palette Lights Camera Action

The one in the Advent Calendar is called Spotlight, but this is the closest to the colours.

boots.com/no7-pro-artist-eyeshadow-palette-lights-camera-action

Have to say this is useless for me as tried a similar look last makeup Saturday and I didn’t look like I was wearing makeup. Also I had to take the shimmery shades off. In defence of No7 though, I never bought there makeup anyway before covid. I mainly bought Loreal which used to suit my skintone and the colours were pinks etc.

I did purchase a lot of No7 spa and beauty products though, my favourite was the self heating face mask. Was lovely and it actually heated up.

Feel like I should give these eyeshadow palettes to someone who would appreciate them as it is a waste to just throw them away.

Enjoyed opening the box anyway. Got the Calendar on offer so I suppose that accounts for the products you don’t like.

Will continue this next week.

Have a lovely Saturday
