So it arrived damaged. Never mind, I thought, it's what's inside that counts...

Ha sparkly eyebrows for a party. See you in the eye clinic in the morning having glitter removed from your eyes! Confused

StealingYourWiFi · 08/12/2017 17:31

I've just caught up with this thread. Fantastic! Grin I'm sure there will be much more glitter to come.

Hareinthewoods · 08/12/2017 17:04

Now this is what you can use the glitter and funnel for.Grin

Yeah stars.
You now need a new funnel with a bigger hole (not a euphemism) ....Keeping everything crossed for tomorrow.

Ok I'm in for the long haul with this thread. I had no idea about all these beauty advent calendars until this year, thought about buying myself one, but this thread is giving me all the Christmas joy I need Grin

Four year old’s £2 —tastes like cooking— chocolate Trolls advent calendar suddenly seems quite sophisticated now.

Butterfly1975 · 08/12/2017 12:22

Loving your work OP Xmas Grin

I was sharing the shitness with DH who is utterly baffled by this beauty advent calendar lark!!

Noticed that TK Maxx has beauty advent calendars now half price but reading this thread I'm truly scared by what may lie within so didn't buy one!

Yes!

More glitter. Clearly a well thought out advent calendar effort from HoF.,

I made myself late for work opening the calendar this morning Grin

We had the usual morning madness and after I'd dropped DD at the bus stop I realised I hadn't opened door 8 so turned around and came back home Xmas Grin

Couldn't have lasted an entire day without seeing those stars. It was totally worth it.

Thank goodness for today's gift [santa]

What with the lipstick, nail file and nail varnish, I was worried the glitter goods had come to a very sad end.

ENTER THE GLITTER STARS!

You will likely see the Duchess modelling these at some point, she's partial to star-shaped tat.

Had DD still been into messy play, she could have had a lot of fun making Christmas cards with the shit that's appeared so far. Me thinks they need a remarketing campaign. Although I do like a PP's observation that it could be a drug paraphernalia calendar Xmas Grin

And the pot has leaked Xmas Hmm I'll be finding these little bastards for months to come!

Thanks!

Shameless placemark as I enjoy my Lindt calendar.

Loving your review and your cat! Grin

PinkSquash · 08/12/2017 09:55

I'm really invested in this advent calendar as I don't have one myself. I really need to know what today's joy is

kwick · 08/12/2017 08:13

😂😂😂

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 08/12/2017 07:58

A lady on Instagram put high end make up on her cat's belly, close cropped it and passed it off as a luxury rug.

[schock] Grin

LazyDailyMailJournos · 08/12/2017 07:50

Have read whole thread and am now agog to see what today's window brings. Hair mascara perhaps?

HuskyMcClusky · 07/12/2017 23:15

Lost it at the cat’s paw 🤣🤣🤣

SouthernComforts · 07/12/2017 23:11

Excellent thread. Loving the cat paw for scale Grin

I'm disappointed that the drug paraphernalia theme didn't continue.. I was hoping for a tiny HOF meth lab

clairethewitch70 · 07/12/2017 22:58

OP, put a watermark on the cat paw picture, otherwise they might use it in their promotion campaign for next years calendars. Either that or someone on HOF board will suggest a fake cat paw keyring (a la Zoella's pompom) to compliment next year products.

Tempnamelady · 07/12/2017 22:25

That cats paw picture has had me crying laughing! Has anyone shared with thread with HOF? The Manchester Store was formerly known as Kendal’s and back in the day epitomised ‘posh living’ where the rich shopped.

Times they are a’changing by the looks of things !

whirlygirly · 07/12/2017 21:43

Sweet Jesus. You must have had all of £1.25 worth out of it so far, what an utter con.
Very much enjoying the commentary though Smile

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 07/12/2017 21:38

My money is on a scrunchie in the next window.
