Do not recommend
Got my product in the advent calendar, would never have gotten myself to buy it since I'm not a huge fan of mister. I have no problem with the company reusing the bottles (if that's what they're doing and not just relabeling old product?) since the beauty industry needs to become more climate-friendly. My product doesn't smell rancid, but it does smell overwhelmingly strong. I'm absolutely not against beauty products containing fragrance, but this smells like a real perfume. I don't understand how you can have so much perfume in something that's supposed to be used on the face. I guess I'll have to use this on my body as a scent mist instead, since I don't feel like I can give it away either. Weird that it has won an award😅Translated from swedish

Thank you for reviewing, we really appreciate it It’s true that the manufacturer reuses the bottles to be more climate-friendly So sorry that the scent made it not a five-pointer for you The product doesn’t contain any synthetic perfume, but the scent comes naturally from the orange blossom that the water is made from. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you’re otherwise happy with the calendar and will find some favorites among the doors Take care and have the best!

Pretty okay calendar but a bit overhyped
I bought both Me-Phoria and 24K. The positive: I think the colors are nice, I really like the concept of everything being in large makeup bags (the extra pocket in the lid is a smart addition). Personally, I like that there is a lot of skincare and haircare. Makeup, especially eyeshadows or glitter in bright colors, while nice & luxurious, isn't that usable for me at least. A mascara is always appreciated though! I don't think the bags are as dangerously transparent as several others seem to think, but taste is probably different there. I love that it's a product for curly hair! The negative: I have of course checked what the calendars are supposed to contain online but after that I tried not to peek more as I want to keep the excitement alive. Therefore, I haven't ensured that all products are included. That's why it was a boring surprise this morning when today's "door" was missing in Me-Phoria. I also checked through 24K and there were two bags missing there. I understand that mistakes can happen but I still think it's a bit much that three bags are missing in two calendars, especially when one is among the more expensive on the market. The point of a calendar kind of disappears when there are missing doors. In the expensive calendar, there was a lot of the same, how many black mascaras and acids/peeling does a person need? If one of the mascaras were brown for example at least? As for perfume, it's hard since it's quite individual what one likes, therefore it's better when the perfumes are a bit more universally liked than the first perfume in 24K. I think many will appreciate the palettes, but I personally would have wished for less glitter and more basic eyeshadows. The one from Anastasia I might get some use out of at least. The makeup bags are of pretty poor quality. I also have the bangerheads advent calendar (yes I bought absurdly many calendars this year🤭) and that makeup bag is significantly sturdier and better. You can't even hold the Lyko calendars by the "handle" because the seams come undone due to the weight from the products. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh in my rating because I'm disappointed from this morning and because this particular calendar has been so good and hyped in previous years😅Translated from swedish

Have been looking for this shade for a long time!
Had a blush from Make up store that is no longer sold and resembles this. Super pretty! Good pigment, but it is very pale. The only negative was that the packaging was hard to get into, when I finally tore it open, I managed to rip the product, which was disappointing.Translated from swedish

Awesome!
The toiletry bag is big and cozy. Lots of exciting things to try. I'm least excited about Maria Åkerberg, Mario Badescu, and Bobby (the latter because I've received several similar products in Lyko boxes/advent calendars). I'm most excited about the hair oil and the Korean skincare products. The light smells good, and together with the perfume and the toiletry bag, it gives me nostalgia in a good way🌸Translated from swedish

Good!
I bought this a little off-season, but I'm putting some of the items away for next spring. The bag is really pretty, especially the colors brighten things up. I would have wished for longer handles to wear it over my shoulder. Now it’s a bit awkward in length. I haven't tested La Bruket, deo doc, ceremonia + q + a yet, but they will go on a trip with me in the future. I won’t have any use for Batiste since I have curly hair that never gets greasy, so I’ll have to give that away. I don’t know if I dare to use Glöd because I’m so incredibly pale. I might look like Trump 😂 Looking forward to trying Klair’s and REF. Aloe Vera is always good to have at home. I’ve never tried Dr Barbor (surprisingly), but I’m not that excited about it. The same goes for the face wash. I’ll try Got2be on my eyebrows, hope it works! I think Lyko lovables is a great concept, some items from previous boxes have become favorites :)Translated from swedish
