M&s beauty calendar

Ivytheterrible · 09/11/2016 13:17

So I want the fabled beauty calendar but I can't find anything to buy on the m&s website.

I need...
New ankle boots
A LBD
Dressy tops for evenings out.
But there is nothing I even want to try on!

I have 3 children aged 1-6 but can only find new socks for them.

What can I buy? Confused

I'm quivering too - I've got both ready to go Smile

happypoobum · 30/11/2016 17:11

I was just looking at mine, half convincing myself I would be in too much f a rush tomorrow morning to open it and she really do it now, but I have so far resisted the temptation. Halo

happypoobum · 30/11/2016 17:11

of a rush
should really do it now........

Liiinoo · 30/11/2016 19:15

So excited to get going on this tomorrow!!

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 30/11/2016 19:55

I already cheated and took a sneak peak at everything the day I bought it.

I've never had one before. Part of me is just thinking "Sod it, might as well just use everything now and be pampering with all the products in the run up to Christmas." I'm not being very patient Blush Is anyone else feeling tempted too?

CaoNiMa · 30/11/2016 21:04

Checking in for duty! I took the plastic cover off mine just now. Exciting times.

Awks · 30/11/2016 21:06

I've just taken the plastic off and stood it on my drawers. I'm going to open it tomorrow evening when I'm home from work and have more time. It's exciting!

nickdrakeslovechild · 01/12/2016 08:03

Morning, so excited to open it this morning, I love whats in it! Cant stop smelling my hands.

Liiinoo · 01/12/2016 08:12

A very nice start! I bought DD (24) one as well and she loves it too. Two generations of satisfied at ours today.

MorrisZapp · 01/12/2016 08:13

Edinburgh Princes Street still has mountains of them.

ThisNight · 01/12/2016 08:21

Cant stop smelling my hands. Me too Grin. I bought one for my mum as well and I know she will love this first one.

Needastrongone · 01/12/2016 08:46

Okay. I need rules. Smile

Shall I start a separate thread for the opening day until 24th, or are we all happy here?

Second, how much am I allowed to say about the product. Or is it ok to talk openly, given it's the 1st December. Loads of folk have already opened theirs, I've chosen not to and not to read too much about the products either.

Also love day 1. A really useful product for me. The smell is lovely too.

Tessticklesyourfancy · 01/12/2016 09:02

La la la laI haven't opened mine yet Shock it's still in the wardrobe in the spare room. I was too excited so I put it in there away from my longing gaze Grin

ImYourWomanJonSnow · 01/12/2016 09:22

I'm normally impatient so feeling super proud I waited to open the first box today (that was the first thing I did this morning). Love it!

BabyGanoush · 01/12/2016 11:50

It's fun opening one every day.

I loved today's one

yay

woodhill · 01/12/2016 11:51

And me

MyNewHobbyIsGin · 01/12/2016 13:21

tbh I was hoping for a Day 1 "Wow" product (can you tell I've been looking at it longingly for 20 whole days now Grin) and was initially underwhelmed.

However, several hours later, I'm converted! Its a lovely product and in reality just what I needed in this weather

happypoobum · 01/12/2016 15:57

Really like the hand cream, great start. Have popped it in my work bag. I have never treated myself to anything like this before so feeling rather special.

woodhill · 01/12/2016 16:24

I got a different product today. I wonder if the content is the same but in different date order.

happychristmasbum · 01/12/2016 17:04

NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Really woodhill How astonishing! Don't tell me what you got. Are you sure you know your numbers and could pick out number 1 Xmas Grin ?

FourEyesGood · 01/12/2016 18:12

I was very pleased with the hand cream. It smells so lovely!

CointreauVersial · 01/12/2016 18:32

I love handcream and use tons during the winter, so this is going straight into my desk drawer.

BeaLola · 01/12/2016 19:03

am still waiting or DH to present it to me !!! His idea after I had bought it !

happychristmasbum · 01/12/2016 19:59

The hand cream alone retails at £10 - £12 for that same size, 50ml so I am really pleased so far. It smells divine. Xmas Smile

Howaboutthisone · 01/12/2016 21:57

I'm another one loving the hand cream! I had cheated and looked ahead just for this one. Haven't looked at any of the others though. After today's I feel like it's definitely been a good purchase. My hands smell lovely and no longer feel like sandpaper!
