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

This really is an adventure calendar as pp says! HOF must really not care about their rep! I doubt I’ll get anything as fun in my space nk, LF or Decleor calendars!

arielmanto · 04/12/2017 16:47

oh god, i don't have an advent calendar at all this year - and this thread is making me grateful about it. having said that, roll on door 5...

chloechloe · 04/12/2017 18:21

I just watched the rest of the video as I couldn't resist. Day 14 is a corker. You'll think Christmas has come already. You are aged 12 or under aren't you OP?

Fintons · 04/12/2017 19:15

If day 14 is the one I think it is then yes, Grin and I think there are two of them!

KitNCaboodle · 04/12/2017 19:18

Oh man, I feel cheated. I have eye shadow dust today.

Kit - wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s a druggy butt trumpet. Grin

chloechloe · 04/12/2017 20:05

Indeed there are two of them fintons.

Oops, sorry, have we ruined the pleasure and anticipation!?

ZaZathecat · 04/12/2017 21:03

It seems like a great way for shops to offload the stuff that didn't sell. Maybe M&S have put one of the famous pink tents dresses in one of the boxes this year.

kwick · 04/12/2017 21:04

I feel like some maybe missing point of this thread

BusterGonad · 04/12/2017 22:14

I read the reviews of this calendar from last year, it was worth it for the chuckle factor!

BusterGonad · 04/12/2017 22:14

Just to add Cheese I'm living my M&S calendar!

Ginkypig · 05/12/2017 00:39

A shit stain and a funnelthe musical

katmarie · 05/12/2017 00:59

Shamelessly placemarking! this is truly the gift that keeps on giving!

Mooey89 · 05/12/2017 07:56

kit
I got the shitty eyeshadow dust too... in the fetching shade of ‘sleep dust’

I’m so disappointed, I’m tempted to write a strongly worded letter to HoF

TSSDNCOP · 05/12/2017 09:55

What’s behind the Door 5?

ArchchancellorsHat · 05/12/2017 10:26

Was it a sparkly shit stain, OP or just a shitty shit stain? And wtf is eyeshadow dust - eyeshadow they didn't bother pressing down?

The funnel pic has taken all the romance out of it :(

MontyPythonsFlyingFuck · 05/12/2017 11:05

Perhaps the entire calendar is stuffed with disguised drugs paraphernalia. Someone needs to try snorting one of those dodgy glitter pots, and maybe lighting the mascara wand?

Littlehenrylee · 05/12/2017 11:08

Come on Cheese. Have you already opened today’s offering and are too awestruck to settle yourself to type or are you excitedly applying the treasure and parading yourself in the streets for all to admire?

Come back inside, it’s cold and we have to know.

fishonabicycle · 05/12/2017 11:14

Last year's calendar looks much the same and is available for £7!!! Interested cheesy?

chloechloe · 05/12/2017 11:41

"Someone needs to try snorting one of those dodgy glitter pots, and maybe lighting the mascara wand?"

I just inhaled my lunch laughing monty.

I think cheese has realized the calendar isn't worth getting out of bed for.

Cheeseandcucumber · 05/12/2017 11:47

It's finally here. This thing that connects the glitter and the funnel (maybe? I don't know). The nail varnish!!

5 days in and I can finally beautify myself. Off-red nails with a layer of thick ginormous glitter particles carefully funnelled for precision, eyes smeared in sparkle-free, shit-coloured, sand-textured glitter pigments. Topped off with a mascara produced with the sole intention of blinding people.

Don't I feel smug Xmas Hmm So glad I didn't have to endure one of the other advent calendars, I'd be sitting here with volumised hair, beautifully moisturised hands, glossy lips and smelling fragrant. How awful.

Xmas Grin kit you got dust?! I guess you'll just have to wait for your pigments, although it's understandable if the excitement gets too much and you end up ripping through the calendar to get your hands on it.

Is the dust as marvellous as it looks?

£7 for last years calendar Shock HOF should wear balaclavas!

£50 says it goes on liney, the glitter doesnt stick but the funnel does and the whole lot peels off an hour after you apply it. Except the funnel which will be stuck.

blueskyinmarch · 05/12/2017 15:28

I don't have an advent calendar at all this year. Not even a glittery paper one with a picture of the nativity on the front and pictures of holly and Christmas puddings behind the doors. This thread is all the advent calendar one needs i believe.
