Sharing the Shitness - HOF Advent Calendar SPOILERS

[Cheeseandcucumber]

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

Oh wow!!!! Please please keep this going throughout advent. It has made my day to find this thread

I apologise, I couldn't find any practical measuring instrument to use for an illustration of scale so I instead used my cat's paw. He's a very small cat. But I now realise you'll probably need to see my cat next to something that doesn't vary in scale gosh this is getting complicated - where is the bloody ruler?!

Trinity, the person who designed the calendar is the comedian! I'm just sharing the shit.

iLost I'm sorry your optimism was wasted on this calendar. I admire you for trying to make the best of this terrible situation

Aw it looks as though your cat is waiting for a mini pedicure with the little nail file.

Love it - almost wish I had a HoF calendar so I could enjoy the shit with you

Wow! Words fail me.

This is now my go to morning thread while I’m munching my advent chocolate

Open the 7th now! It's nearly midnight...

Ah that classic scale measuring device- your cat.
Maybe tomorrow the world's smallest tweezers.

Next year I'll be buying you a shit advent calendar for you to review for us OP

I'm loving the cats paw!

One day someone will Google for images of cats paw and come across your photo entirely without context 😂 truly this advent calendar is a gift without limits

It’s like Advent Father Ted: Is the hof product measuring cat near, or far away 🤣

A lady on Instagram put high end make up on her cat's belly, close cropped it and passed it off as a luxury rug.

This makes me laugh every day! The cat's paw!!!

The cat is being so obliging and helpful.
I suspect he has previous modelling experience.

Today confirms what we all suspected.

It's a lipstick that smells like bubblegum. Definitely the sort a child would put on a doll. I'm clearly mistaken, this advent calendar was never meant for adults. Even for as a child's advent calendar meant to be used on a doll it's fucking shit though.

dcat loves a photo op! I'd end up with a claw to the face if I attempted to put any of this shit on his stomach

I put some of the lipstick on the back of my hand at 8am to see how it lasted. It has, of course, disappeared. I don't know why I'm reviewing the longevity of the Colour Couture products, like you're all gonna rush out and buy them I'm not even sure they're for sale?!

Oooh just like the one in Girl’s World! Lucky fuckerness still coming your way.

Fuck knows who the target audience for this are? That lipstick is one of those free samples they used to tape to Seventeen Magazine.

What child can successfully decant glitter through a funnel though? Or work out what to do?

I mean why buy a glittery nail varnish when you can fanny about trying to make one using a plain varnish, some glitter and a tiny funnel with no instructions.

Cheese please put the lipstick on and post a pic of your lips!

I love this thread and I love your cat's paw even more

This is the best advent calendar ever...f**k Liberty 's & M&S...they couldn't bring me the tears of laughter that this Calender has!

A quick look at the HoF website reveals that Colour Couture is not listed among their brands and that no Colour Couture products are actually for sale.

Clearly Colour Couture products are so special that only those in the know can access them.

Only the Duchess of Cambridge and OP have that exclusive lipstick right now. They're currently assessing Meghan Markle to see whether she might be allowed one as well. Shhhhh.

I google Colour couture - and it gives me a link to velour tracksuits - www.colourcouture.co.uk/

Some Colour Couture eBay treats - www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/colour-couture

It reminds me of the Constance Carroll brand of the 1980's, even the same initials. Perhaps some one found a box in a warehouse somewhere and came up with this idea for getting rid of the stock.

Ooh - the brand is also sold by Dunelm, you know, the bed linen place - www.dunelm.com/product/colour-couture-the-bronze-shimmer-collection-1000102187

The cat's paw as a measuring device made me roar with laughter. Now everyone's looking at me!!
