M&s beauty calendar

[Ivytheterrible]

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?

L'occitane one here. Lovely cooling verbena handcream yesterday, shea butter body lotion today. Really looking forward to seeing what else I get.

Got this calendar as a gift from lovely MIL. Not usually a beauty product person but am in love with the hand cream. Bit scared of the face mask - acid sounds harsh!

I am too scared to use it too

What are we like, bunch of skincare lightweights!

I used it tonight. It's lovely. No pink skin or tingling etc. My skin is lovely and soft, but did need to moisturise afterwards tbf. I would buy the hand cream again, not so sure about the peel, but it is nice and I am still over the moon so far with the calendar.

For the record, normal skin, not sensitive etc.

Just googled the price of the Rodial, it's not cheap

So must be good

It stung my face when I put it on, but seems ok now. Feels nice, just looks a bit red but it always does when I put stuff on it. Would be good if we got a sunscreen for tomorrow.

Am I the first to open today's? I'm off to google as its new to me.

Ooh - just opened mine. What is this rare magic?

"a botox-like tripeptide limits muscular contractions and relaxes the skin for a younger-looking face."

!!!!

I'm going to pit it against my crow's feet...

It's quite different to Polyfiller isn't it! I love this calendar for introducing me to exciting new things (that I would never fork out for separately)

Morning..just found you all! Am loving my calendar so far.. The hand cream is gorgeous, not tried the peel yet but will gig it a go over the weekend.. And today's is very intriguing! Can't wait to try

It might lose against my crows feet but looks lovely and again I am chuffed to bits with the quality of the products so far.

My skin is so soft today after the peel last night.

Oh! Looking forward to trying this!

Will try it underneath my usual moisturiser.

It has good reviews!

I had great results with the peel. My skin was very red afterwards but it calmed down over the day. I went out last night and the texture and tone of my skin was so good I didn't need c0ncealer or foundation, just some bronzer and powder.

Just tried today's. I am hoping that next time I pass a mirror my 20-something self will be looking back at me.

Late to this thread! I love the hand cream, the orange scent is yummy. I was intrigued by the acid rush peel and a bit scared! But I tried it last night, I only used a small amount in case of a reaction, it sounds so harsh but it is wonderful! My skin is glowing and so soft this morning! I looked it up online and it costs £75 for a 50ml size so not cheap but I love it and will definitely be purchasing in the future.
Also intrigued by the time filler today, never used this before but botox in a tube sounds good! This is my first beauty calendar and I love it!

Really please with box 3. Hope it will diminish my number 11 frown lines

Box 3 is a totally new thing for me! I shall be googling away to see what to do with it!

I'd like some instructions on how to use these gems. Today's I have no idea about. Do I leave it on all day or only a few mins?

I feel a bit flat about today's. Maybe I'm too young for the calendar.

fanjo I don't have wrinkles (yet) either to use it on but i did read you could use it all over before foundation for a general lift

I am saving mine for when ds2 arrives in march as I will prob rapidly develop some wrinkles then to try it on

Gutted I didn't get the hand cream but I have contacted them.

woodhill I woke this morning thinking of you - not in a crazystalkerlady way you understand Please tell us you didn't get another effin face mask????

I don't have many wrinkles, despite being an old gimmer, but I will happily pit todays cream against what I do have.

Agree with PP - it's great to have the opportunity to try new fangled products I wouldn't ordinarily shell out for. Aside from that unfortunate afternoon I went drinking in Soho and ended up in House of Fraser playing fast and loose with my credit card..............

Cross post!!!!

I've just applied a bit of today's offering to my frown lines. It smells lovely.

Ok I am late to the party but I am LOVING this advent calendar! The hand cream is lovely. I'm another one too scared to try the peel at the moment as I'm currently quite pregnant so I don't want to tempt fate by putting anything too harsh on my face. Will definitely be cracking it open once the baby is here though!
