12 Days of Christmas Collection (Limited Edition) $720 Value

Let me caveat what I'm going to say with I use more expensive face and body products, but it has been nearly 25 years since I had a boyfriend who used the LM original cream and I got to use it too...Time erased several things for me. Not being familiar with all of their products, I decided to splurge and purchase this advent calendar for myself. Good variety of products to try, nice packaging and presentation. So many people online rave about the scent, but it makes my stomach turn and gives me a headache. It smells like a flowery grandma on steroids. I can't have the stuff anywhere near my nose. On that note, the included eye cream made my vision blurry for two days, and I had a headache and some weird pains behind my eyes. I didn't realize--there are many reviews online, and even a class action lawsuit, regarding this eye cream and its similar effects. Unfortunately, I had to throw that product out. I've tried other products included in this calendar on my face and neck, and aside from the scent that I find very off putting, some of their products make my eyes burn or give me a headache or are rather sticky. Except I can use their lip moisturizer and lip polish, but as someone else said here, the lip polish doesn't have the little applicator included. I'm so disappointed that I'm having this sort of reaction to their products, but now, I only use the creams or serums on my hands or other rough parts of my body, far from my face. it's unfortunate because I can tell that the cream really work for wrinkles. I'm probably the odd duck who's having some sort of weird reaction to some of their products, but I don't think I'm the only one... So if you're not familiar with their products, like I wasn't, you may want to purchase their advent calendar to try it out, or perhaps just try to get a small sample and test it out on your face first just to see if you have a reaction and/or like the scent?

Terrible! Paid a large amount for this and 2 items were missing (the moisturizing cream and the eye concentrate). Called and the customer service told me to send it back to replace but she already knew they were sold out. When questioned she said maybe she could find something to replace it with. No concern that someone had taken 2 of the items and no offer to replace the missing items! Empty compartments filled with paper!

the lip polish does not come with the applicator. I hate how the products tell you in the "how to use" description to utilize the applicator that is also pictured in the product image. For this box, the lip polish is the same size as the full size product yet you don't get the applicator, and of course the description for how to use tells you to use the applicator.
