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

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

Xmas GrinXmas Grin security measures such as these are necessary after sharing my array of priceless gifts. All it takes is for someone to recognise Ken, follow him home and get their hands on my funnel. I wouldn't expect you mere non-HOF calendar owners to understand Xmas Grin

Tracy Xmas Grin Ken is outraged at your suggestion.

The eyebrow pencil says it's black, it looks black but it's definitely more of a purple. Tbf it'll probably go well with my bright pink eye powder and gold eyebrow stars.

We have an intriguingly shaped door today.

I thought Day 12 had offered a lip liner. No. It's an eye crayon.

Suppose a pink eye crayon will match the purple eyebrows Xmas Confused

I'll keep an eye out for Ken today so as to provide some perspective on size. Every time I've put one of the items next to him he's done one of those squinty faces that cats do when they smell something potent Grin Ken despises cheap makeup.

A skin toned eye crayon? Can you swatch it on your hand, along with the purple brow pencil, just so we can see the effect?

Cheeseandcucumber · 12/12/2017 12:07

Xmas Grin claire I was just in the process of providing a comparative swatch.

I had to press SO hard on the eyebrow pencil to get some colour. The crayon is a pleasant colour in comparison but it would never show up on the eyelid. Maybe it has another use?

It really IS purple Shock

Cheeseandcucumber · 12/12/2017 12:21

It's like a turd brown with a hint of purple.

Is the flesh coloured pencil an eyeliner? So it makes you look more awake (I should have used one today after 3.5hours sleep last night!!)

Moogletea · 12/12/2017 12:55

How kind of HOF to give you a conjunctivitis coloured crayon. Always handy to get out of the dreaded supervised children's swimming parties

barefoofdoctor · 12/12/2017 13:54

Only just seen this amazing thread so catching up will be an afternoon well spent. HOC advent calendar now down to £7 but NOT BLOODY AVAILABLE ONLINE grrr. Funnel is clearly viewable in their photo though!

wildbuttercup · 12/12/2017 15:14

This thread has made my day. I use a flesh coloured eye pencil on bottom lash line to make eyes look bigger. Only when I've got a full face of makeup on though. Might look a bit like an alien otherwise.

Moogletea · 12/12/2017 16:14

I bring great news for those of us not lucky enough to get our own HOF calendar. Just been to local garden centre Wyvale and they have a big display of 'stocking fillers for her' consisting of colour couture goodies ! Gutted to say no funnels. Obviously you need to get there fast as this stuff is flying* of the shelves

*collecting dust

Sorry Ken Xmas Smile

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 12/12/2017 16:24

However that skin toned eye crayon is not what it seems.

It's a paw concealer......

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 12/12/2017 16:24

Touché Ecat Xmas Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/12/2017 16:48

Touche Ecat Grin or Paw minimiser..

TheFaerieQueene · 12/12/2017 17:01

This should be called a Sadvent Calendar! Xmas Grin

kwick · 13/12/2017 07:54

What are we going to do when advent is over???? Xmas Sad

gunsandbanjos · 13/12/2017 08:10

That eye pencil really is a lovely colour, I’m baffled as to why you’re not delighted with it?
Seriously has anyone tweeted HOF a link to this thread?
Excited to see what shit today brings you.

LemonShark · 13/12/2017 09:10

Moogletea argh there are few things I hate more in this world than crappy non branded makeup packaged to be sold at the sort of prices that'll get you something really nice from Boots! I feel for the teenage and tween girls who'll be given those awful massive 50 eyeshadow sets from Wilkos by well meaning relatives. If you like makeup enough to want it as a gift you'll be well aware that 'colour couture' isn't a brand. Guarantee that anyone who gets one of those products in your picture would be much happier with a single Barry m lippie or something 😩

Waiting with bated breath for today's offering OP!

TitaniasCloset · 13/12/2017 14:02

Ooh yes, what fresh delights will today bring? Grin

Opheliasgoldenwine · 13/12/2017 17:42

Where's the OP?? I need to know what's here!!!

whirlygirly · 13/12/2017 19:58

Oh come on op. I open this thread with more excitement than my own calendar Grin

fishonabicycle · 13/12/2017 20:13

What has happened? Where is our OP? Has she had a glitter or funnel related accident???

gunsandbanjos · 13/12/2017 20:18

Maybe she’s been attacked by the rest of the spider...

gunsandbanjos · 13/12/2017 20:19

A funnel web spider.
