Sharing the Shitness - HOF Advent Calendar SPOILERS

[Cheeseandcucumber]

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

I’d like to see that next to the cat’s paw 🐾. Just for perspective mind, not for the lols.

Demand a refund immediately!

What is it though? It looks like a tiny black stick.

Catching up with this, just got to

I'm almost too worried to post a photo, I fear it may encourage burglars to track down my house in an attempt to steal the wonder that has appeared behind door 6. This must be how celebrities feel.
Brilliant.

One look at that basically non branded whatever it is (eyebrow pencil? Based on the spoolie) and you just know that no matter how many times you swipe it across the back of your hand, let it sit in your bra to warm up, rub it between your hands, not a drop of pigment will come from that pencil onto your skin.

Do you know the Selfridges Beauty calendar isn't much better - really random stuff - brow exfoliation pencil anyone? Stupid gizmo to guide eyeliner application? There's even a pair of nail clippers for crying out loud! Where is the glamour, the decadent smells, the excitement??!!

Pictures not showing for the eyelashes / spider legs. What is it - false eyelashes (ie part of the gift) or some crud that has accidentally got caught up in the glitter?

Cheer up Cheese, it may not even work. At least that would be something to be joyful about - something that COULD be useful, but that doesn’t work. Perhaps that’s where HOF we’re going with this one. You know, just to keep you on your toes.

Aridane no it actually was a dead spider (with detached limbs).

Not too bad today. If you don't want to use the black eyebrow pencil (?) maybe you could draw round the spider's body, in the style of CSI?

Also, we need more cat

Definitely more cat.

Cat was the best thing about the calendar so far.

Noo - seriously? - a dead spider! I thought you guys were joking about the poor quality of some eyelashes.

Now it's one thing for the calendar to be crap - that's fine. But if there is a hygiene / foreign body issue, you should HoF know - but I would be devastated if this meant you had to return HoF advent calendar

(sorry - posted twice)

You really need to try that brow pencil. On that video I posted, she used it and the result was hilarious giant brown slugs.

How silly of me to post without any kind of measuring scale.

I finally managed to track down Ken (the cat), who kindly provided 2 and a half paws for the photo.

maybe I can use the pencil to write my complaint to HOF? Definitely won't complain until we've finished the calendar, it'd ruin Christmas to have to give it up!

I tried some pencil on the back of my hand and, surprisingly, it works... in a way. It offers an unusual, very faint purple colour that's made up of crumbled pencil nib, obviously it all falls off as soon as it's disturbed but it tries hard and that's nothing to be sniffed at.

I'll definitely be purchasing the Selfridges calendar next year a brow exfoliator is top of the Christmas list!

claire I'm saving the video for once I've finished the calendar so as not to spoil the wonderful surprises. I think I'll follow it and apply everything at the same time. I bet I'll be beating off the proposals

It's purple?

Anyway, thank you Ken! Love the way you're preserving his identity with the faceless shots.

Is there any chance Ken may have been breaking into attacking your advent calendar?
Cats love spiders (well mine does.)
Does Ken have his/her own advent calendar?
Can you see where I'm going with this line of enquiry

@clairethewitch70 that video is hilarious, her face is how I imagine @Cheeseandcucumber looks every day

That measuring scale's the best thing about the calendar.

Ken fangirl here, and I've always had dogs.

Love the way you're preserving his identity with the faceless shots

Next year let’s have a Ken Calendar!

A purple eye brow pencil?

@Aridane not autocorrect 😌

@Cheeseandcucumber you are going to use all of these gems together on the last day and post a photo? Pleeeeeeeease. !

Ken is magnificent - true model material. Poised, elegant, hauntingly enigmatic due to having no head .

Just found this thread. Laughing a lot. What’s today OP?

Please include Ken in next pic.
