What do I think?
This is not a calendar for me. I wouldn’t use half the products in the skincare part of the calendar, including the tanning products. Apart from a couple of products – the Emma Hardie Vitamin C moisturizer and the By Terry lip balm, there is absolutely nothing in this calendar I want to use.
It also doesn’t help that a few products listed in the calendar are in fact on sale on the feelunique website.
