M&s beauty calendar

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

Would love to see it....still pulling here Hmm

Goodness yes the lid of today's was welded on! Looks like a nice colour though and useful to keep in handbag.

Anjelika · 15/12/2016 07:32

I love, love, love today's. If there's anyone who doesn't want their's I'd be happy to swap for the eye liner or either of the oils - the Nuxe or the Josh Wood. Haven't used any of them by the way!

The lid on mine just came straight off!

AndShesGone · 15/12/2016 08:09

I had to pull for ages to get mine off with twisting involved. Great colour though, super natural. Can really see why it's called super model as it looks just like the natural healthy colour that we all want to emulate.

Everyone keeps talking about the josh wood hair oil - I don't appear to have that Confused What does it look like???? I haven't missed a day as I've just checked

Sparkletastic · 15/12/2016 08:10

Nice product but too light for me and not into glosses either. DD will be pleased to relieve me of it.

Bubbinsmakesthree · 15/12/2016 08:19

Rudy it's a very natural coloured lipstick crayon with a gloss finish (rather than sticky gloss). It makes my lips look like a better version of my lips if you see what I mean!

Dillite2 · 15/12/2016 08:23

Hmmmmm..... I am beginning to think that my rhino skin isn't made for beauty products. The chemical peel did nothing. The eye cream does nothing. A cream from next week (I am going away next week so opened those days yesterday) has done nothing overnight. Sigh.

Still love Josh Wood hair oil, it makes my hair super soft and smell lovely all day long. I like today's as well, I don't usually wear lipgloss but the colour isn't very bright and it's more like a tinted balm.

Thanks! I don't have it, wonder what I got instead

OverScentedFanjo · 15/12/2016 08:45

That lid was hard to get off!

Yes, blind boil type thing on my jaw was very painful and sore yesterday. Now is a red bump. Also the skin around my nose feels prickly. I think it's the liquid gold.

Lovely colour with the gloss. My lips are dark naturally so it works for me.

UptheAnty · 15/12/2016 08:50

Still pulling..but now with teeth marks in the lid Confused

UptheAnty · 15/12/2016 08:50

mowglik · 15/12/2016 09:03

Those of you with the sudden spots after using the liquid gold or the rodial peel are experiencing purging. It's just the skin clearing itself of blockages. They should be whiteheads in a place where you might usually get spots. In that case I would persist with the liquid gold or peel and you should see it clear up and lovely skin underneath

Really happy with the lip gloss, the light colour is right up my street, I just hope it's long lasting

OverScentedFanjo · 15/12/2016 09:54

Actually my skin is normally lovely and clear. I don't get any spots or white heads.

mowglik · 15/12/2016 10:13

It might still be purging fanjo, if it clears up soonish. Then you get the benefits of exfoliated skin, reducing hyper pigmentation etc and all the other benefits of AHAs. If you continue to get spots where you dont normally I would discontinue the particular acids you are using

OverScentedFanjo · 15/12/2016 10:59

mowglik is that a professional opinion?

Musicinthe00ssucks · 15/12/2016 12:41

Absolutely love the lipgloss from today's offering.

mowglik · 15/12/2016 12:44

No! just common advice about use of acids. Spots after acid use may = purging if they are whiteheads type spots and in places where you may usually get spots. If they continue for a while and don't clear up it's probably more likely to be a reaction so better to discontinue use. Up to you of course what you decide to do

gaggiagirl · 15/12/2016 14:29

I got something different today.... Wonder if I opened the wrong box. I was looking forward to a lippy.

Howaboutthisone · 15/12/2016 14:31

Love today's! I was umming and ahhing about buying this exact one a few months back but didn't (bought kids clothes instead!) so am really happy with this! My mum isn't though- this is the second of her boxes to be empty on opening!

maggiso · 15/12/2016 15:33

I have this colour already ( one of only two Rosie make up products I own) -but its a good neutral colour and a crayon style is easier to pack, so good to keep in a bag or the car, so having two is not a problem. I have not opened the new one yet but I messed up the tip of my original one by getting over aggressive pulling the stubborn lid off!
