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

Love this thread

Cheeseandcucumber · 08/12/2017 11:48

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!

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.

Yes!

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

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!

Littlehenrylee · 08/12/2017 13:18

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

TitaniasCloset · 08/12/2017 13:29

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

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/12/2017 14:58

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

Hareinthewoods · 08/12/2017 17:04

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

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

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/12/2017 17:56

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

kwick · 08/12/2017 17:59

Rushes off to TKMAX to buy up beauty advents

whoareyoukidding · 08/12/2017 18:13

Great thread, cheese

Cheeseandcucumber · 08/12/2017 19:21

Xmas Grin I'm so happy many of you are using this thread as a substitute advent calendar, no one else should have to pay to endure this shit!

We'll need a volunteer take on the 2018 sharing the shit challenge Xmas Grin

I might attempt to use every product the week before Christmas and share a picture, see how fancy I look Xmas Grin (after the Christmas parties so no one sees the inevitable bad reactions I'll have to the offensive makeup).

I vote we nominate you as Saint Cheese, of the Beauty Calendar . I'm going to draft an email to the Pope ...

TheFurryMenace · 08/12/2017 22:05

While I'm at it, I'll think I'll write to Her Maj and get you nominated for an MBE for services to the beauty industry . I can see it now, Dame Cheese...

FinallyGotAnIPhone · 08/12/2017 22:17

Just found this thread it’s made me laugh out loud. Thanks!

Deathraystare · 09/12/2017 07:19

Well I can only hang my head and weep! All that beautiful stuff could have been mine if only I had not looked at the calender in HOF thought Nah, right load of tat, and put it back. Ho hum!

Cheeseandcucumber · 09/12/2017 12:08

Xmas Grin why thank you, Menace, I've always wanted a title and will definitely take two. Although, a small request to change it to Saint Cheese of the Shitty Beauty Calendar please.

Today has provided the much needed sticky shitty non-wearable lip gloss I've been wanting.

It's another that smells of bubblegum. IMO it's impossible to wear makeup that doesn't smell of sweets.

Interesting fact: dogs love the smell of cheap makeup.

I'm currently on a weekend break and the calendar was the first thing I packed last night Xmas Grin Thank goodness I brought it, couldn't have gone a whole weekend without my bubblegum lipgloss. I'd have looked a right tit.

Marvellous thread. Every Christmas I look for something to follow online. This year it's this thread Smile. Please keep it going.

RJnomore1 · 09/12/2017 12:25

Are dandruff eyebrows a thing now? Shock

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/12/2017 13:21

You took your HOF advent calendar on your weekend mini break? Grin

I'm hoping you didn't fly. A drugs funnel won't go down well with airport security.

TheFurryMenace · 09/12/2017 14:02

🤣 at dandruff eyebrows RJ!

What say we all club together and get Cheese a decent calendar next year? She’s so earned it with this entertaining and whitty thread, and commitment to the cause.
