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

Really like the lip gloss! I have a bright red in that sort of crayon style, which I love, so a good neutral is a useful addition. A handbag fave I suspect!

I'm happy to pass on the eyeliner and the Josh Wood oil to anyone who wants them - I like smudgy pencil eyeliner so I won't use it, and I got a Mythic Oil in my last beauty box which I haven't even started yet because I bought an Argan Oil over a year ago which is still half-full!

No, thanks, I'm just happy to pass it on to someone who can use it Xmas Smile

PM me your details and I'll send it as soon as I can

Also happy to pass on the (unused) eyeliner if anyone would like it.

RubyWinterstorm · 15/12/2016 20:39

I liked the lipgloss, it's almost as good as chubby sticks (which I bulk buy Blush)

RubyWinterstorm · 15/12/2016 20:40

I rub the oil in my sons' hair (they have straw manes) works wonders on them Grin

Also put a bit on the dog!

MoonlightMedicine · 15/12/2016 20:57

Bathroom I'd love the hair oil if you really don't mind? I used mine once, loved it and have completely lost it. I've searched high and low and now fear my toddler has thrown it away (she likes posting things in the bin).

Dillite2 · 15/12/2016 20:58

Oooh, I might put a bit on my dog, she could do with some deep conditioning.

Tomorrow's looks exciting!

JemimaMuddledUp · 15/12/2016 21:06

I was going to offer my eyeliner as I haven't worn liquid eyeliner for at least 15 years. But I decided to give it a try tonight and it actually looks quite good! So I'm keeping it and wearing it to the office party tomorrow night.

paddlenorapaddle · 15/12/2016 21:14

I'm happy to let the unused eyeliner go if anyone wants a swop

Absolutely in love with the colour of today's chubby stick it's fantastic I've got a £10 voucher for marks I know what I'll be using it on in future x

gaggiagirl · 15/12/2016 21:54

I had opened the wrong box! 16 instead of 15. Oh well you will all love tomorrows product. I will open the lippy tomorrow and wear it.

TheBathroomSink · 15/12/2016 22:20

moonlight I'm happy to send it to you, pm me your details.
I also had a child who liked to post things in the bin, when he wasn't putting car keys in the freezer. Now he's a teenager and never has a clue where he's put anything!

sleighmyname · 15/12/2016 22:35

I would love an eyeliner if anyone wants to swop anything? Mine has vanished into thin air Sad

Thebelleofstmarys · 15/12/2016 22:41

You're welcome to mine , sleighmyname. Don't need anything in return.

sleighmyname · 16/12/2016 06:31

Oh belle you've made my morning! I've sent you a pm, thankyou thankyou

rocket74 · 16/12/2016 06:37

Happy with today's gift. Had a tube from last year and it is a thing of wonder for the matted tangled mess that used to be my daughters hair. It's a revolution. It's brilliant.
I might try some on my newly straw mop too.
I'm doing the cold cap with chemo - but it ain't kind to what's left.Xmas Wink

CaoNiMerrilyOnHigh · 16/12/2016 06:55

I like today's. I'm currently in the pellicular twilight zone of growing out a pixie cut, so any hair product is worth a try!

happychristmasbum · 16/12/2016 08:25

I missed yesterday - also had problems getting the lid off and damaged the tip of the lippy and had to throw that bit away. I absolutely love it though. Perfect colour for me, and I haven't used a crayon before.

Todays was a bit of a disappointment as I barely have time to wash and condition, never mind an additional 20 minutes for a pre treatment! DS16 might use it though. He has a very unruly mane!

mowglik · 16/12/2016 08:34

happy you can just rub it through damp hair and leave it in for a few hours before going for a shower. I have very quick showers too and don't have an extra 20 min in there to let a pre-treatment work. I'll use this on the weekend when I can slob around with hair in clingfilm for a couple of hours - hope it's worth the hype it gets!

PetraDelphiki · 16/12/2016 08:46

I'll swap my lip pencil if anyone wants it?

happychristmasbum · 16/12/2016 08:49

Hmmm, I have long thick hair (stealth boast) and I don't like the idea of walking around with damp hair for any length of time.

I think I am just too lazy for this product Blush

rocket74 · 16/12/2016 09:03

I leave it on DD for about 5-10 mins while she plays in the bath. Even a little time seems to help.

ThisNight · 16/12/2016 09:12

Very pleased with today's offering - I am working from home, so have put the entire tube on my hair and wrapped it in a towel. Hope it works!
