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

WAKE UP OP!!

badbadhusky · 04/12/2017 08:24

You lot are worse than my kids standing over me telling me to open my underwhelming Lindt calendar.

iwouldgoouttonight · 04/12/2017 08:30

I now have an unwelcome mental image of Tim Burgess with a teeny tiny beauty funnel up his arse.

iwouldgoouttonight · 04/12/2017 08:31

That's not where I though this thread would go.

RJnomore1 · 04/12/2017 08:57

2017 Tim burgess with that awful blonde hairdo?

JuneFromBethesda · 04/12/2017 09:22

This is the funniest thing I've read on Mumsnet in ages. Loving your work OP.

CraicMammy · 04/12/2017 09:31

You know Zoella’s probably reading this thread and taking notes for next year’s carefully curated calendar

Fintons · 04/12/2017 10:22

I've looked at the video with spoilers and..... wow, OP, you're in for some treats!! GrinGrinthe look they're going for is definitely what an 8 year old girl would produce if left to her own devices.

Cheeseandcucumber · 04/12/2017 12:10

HOF boss: so, an advent calendar for grown ups, we've got a funnel and a pot of glitter. What shall we put in day 4? I'd like to put in more glitter, you know how much they love glitter, but it might be a bit samey.

HOF advertising person: um how about glitter PIGMENTS?

HOF boss: give that man a raise.

WTF are glitter pigments? Bigger glitter? Smaller glitter?

Cheeseandcucumber · 04/12/2017 12:13

Is it a beautiful deep brown with a gentle sparkle that could be added to a dramatic smoky eye?

No, it's a shit stain.

Opheliasgoldenwine · 04/12/2017 12:23

It's from that amazing brand too!

Nettletheelf · 04/12/2017 12:25

You might have put the ‘glitter pigment’ on an actual nappy, Cheese.

Just to illustrate it, you know.

Ps HAHAHAHAHA at the funnel’s potential use in constructing sparrow fart amuse bouches.

PeasAndHarmony · 04/12/2017 12:27

Shit stain glitter??

Xmas Hmm
clairethewitch70 · 04/12/2017 12:38

Spoiler Alert

I am currently watching this funny video. She is unboxing the HOF advent calendar and using the products straight away to do her makeup in the order they come out in. She has used the shit mascara and is currently unwrapping the funnel.

clairethewitch70 · 04/12/2017 12:53

Having now watched the video I have one question for you OP.

Do you have any children that like to play dress up or play with makeup?
Xmas Grin

Cheeseandcucumber · 04/12/2017 13:41

Xmas GrinXmas Grin at the uses of the funnel involving the anus and sparrow farts.

Once in an interview I was asked to come up with a list of uses for a kettle. I seriously hope I'm asked about a funnel one day.

I can't wait to reach the n/a days Grin

I can't believe some of you have watched spoiler videos/looked up the contents, you're worse than my DD! Xmas Grin

The recipient of my secret santa gift is in for a right pile of shit this year!

chloechloe · 04/12/2017 13:46

Thanks for the video link! I've watched as far as today but don't want any spoilers as cheese's reportage is far too hilarious to miss.

OP think yourself lucky though - the blogger seems to have injured herself three times in the first two minutes of the video just trying to wrangle out the contents and put them on her face.

jetSTAR · 04/12/2017 13:57

Is your eyeshadow a different colour to hers on the video then?
I was thinking about treating myself to an advent calendar this year... maybe I’m glad I didn’t 🤣🤣🤣

clairethewitch70 · 04/12/2017 14:17

Has anyone actually heard of Colour Couture?

OutToGetYou · 04/12/2017 14:18

(the funnel is for funneling some of your fave perfume into a handbag atomiser, Boots used to sell them. Sorry to be a spoiler. It's still more of a cracker gift than an advent calendar though!)

Hareinthewoods · 04/12/2017 16:22

Just watched the video GrinShock. You have some real treats coming OP!

chloechloe · 04/12/2017 16:36

Perhaps Day 5 is a 50 pence off voucher for a HoF perfume atomisier...

Bringmewineandcake · 04/12/2017 16:39

😂😂😂 am loving this.
It is somewhat making up for not getting my M&S calendar this year
