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?

I put it on one nail and then took it off.

I think it's more summery personally. Sort of pink/berry shimmer fine glitter.

Here you go, not expertly applied

Yes, almost metallic

Not a pearl one.

I think it's better suited to blondes - dd loves it but it isn't floating my boat, not quite red enough for festive surely?

Lovely!

Couldn't be more festive if it had bells and flashing lights on.

I'm so loving my calendar. I also have the l'occitane one but the m&s is loads better.

I bought my 75 year old MIL one as well and we text each morning to discuss - great way to bond!

I've just drunkeny applied the nail varnish. ''Tis lovely. (Now, I suspect will notice how badly applied and pinky it is in the morning)

I also used liquid gold last night. I had to get up at 3am to wash it off as it was so stingy. Tonight ipuf my usual amount of makeup on but it looks like I have more on. I wonder if it is sitting on top of my peeled skin rather than sinking in?

Can someone tell me what was in today's box as day 9 of my calendar was empty! Cheers.

Nooooo! How rubbish. It was an autograph nail varnish - cranberry colour.

I am pleased with most things so far. Even the stuff I won't use (the eyebrow thing (my eyebrows need nurturing and fertilising not taming) and today's nail varnish (I tend to have shellac) will find a home with a friend or a DD. But the Sun Block was pretty disappointing. Tiny and unseasonable. That will be heading straight for the grey file.

I'd like to try and swap the nail varnish instore for something I might wear (its really not me) any idea if that's possible from past year experiences?

I'm really happy with the nail varnish, love the colour and the wide brush. The two lid thing is the same as Chanel nail varnishes.
I wore the nail varnish, the eye liner and my newly peeled and filled skin to my work Christmas do this evening and felt suitably fabulous

Not a big fan of the nail varnish sadly, those pearly/metallic finishes aren't really me.

I can't imagine you'd be able to swap the colour in store but if anyone has the audacity to try it I would love to know the results!

I used the liquid gold and didn't get any stinging at all. Or even tingling. My skin must be very tough

Iuch prefer the finish and colour of today's offering.

I was a bit disappointed to find another nail varnish today, but this one's much more me. I'm going to give yesterday's away (HoneywithLemon - would you like mine? I'm happy to put it in a Jiffy bag and post it to you) but I'll definitely wear today's.

More polish! I like this one better, and am interested by the "one coat gel" element.

Another polish? Oh no. After I so carefully (drunkenly) applied yesterday's? Seems weird to have the same thing two days in a row?

I was a bit disappointed to get another nail polish today. I wonder if someone knew that some of us (not me) would not like yesterdays and so they out them on consecutive days so there was a polish for everyone kind of thing?

I am a bit prone to overthinking!!

I like it, would just have preferred it spaced out from yesterdays. I have had problems taking off gel polish before so I don't usually use it, but as it is so very expensive - online retails for £13 - £15 I am hoping it won't be so hard to budge? Unless someone has a top tip for me?

X post Truth

I love both the nail polishes, and despite being a bit of a nail polish addict they are different enough from ones I already have to make me excited to try them...but like PPs it's a bit disappointing to have them 2 days in a row! I think it would have been better to space them out a bit. Oh well, one for fingers and one for toes!
