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?

Elastisizer is excellent stuff - one of the few products that I first discovered in last year's calendar and have repurchased since. It does need doing at the weekend, but the effects last for a couple of washes.

I love the colour of the lipstick/pencil thingy - the perfect everyday neutral for me. Last year's was way too pale. I struggled to get the lid off too!

Thanks Tess and Rudy - the hair oil was in the box, was just very well wrapped and didn't rattle! Lovely smell, just put it on for the first time.

I love the lipstick - other than the hand cream and maybe the nail varnish happy to swap something for another lippy?

I want some moisturiser!!

chalkyc I'll swap lipstick for the cleansing balm if you like? Pm me

Did everyone get Elastsizer? I got Percy & Reed Wonder Balm. I'm a bit disappointed!

Coincidentally Buffy, I got the wonder balm in my BirchBox this morning.

Rudy - I'll have a look and see if I still have last year's - pretty sure it's at the back of the drawer somewhere!

Wahoo love love love Ren this is great going straight into my handbag

Tiny size today. Bit disapointed. After all the acid peels I'd have thought this would have been a bigger size.

I agree - todays offering was vair small.

Has anyone used it before? DD19 has a breakout and I wondered if it would be good as a sort of healing cream?

That's a very small tube today! Even magazine samples offer bigger tubes.

I gave that wrinkle filler from last week to my mum and she loves it. She said that it makes a huge difference to her face.

My nails inc nail varnish is starting to chip. Seeing what my hands go through, it has lasted very well.

Love Ren but agree the tube is tiny.

First day I've thought meh ... looks like the ones you get in an airline vanity bag

M&S sell the Ren for £28 for 50ml and the tube in the calendar is 15ml, so I don't feel swizzed.

Bloody love this calendar...not one dud so far, and plenty of things I'd buy again. Just swishing my Elasticised hair around.

The Elastisizer is probably the most effective hair treatment I've ever used . Love it and will definitely buy a full size tube now I've tried it.

Yeah, maybe so, but I've seen ones that size given away free in mags.

It's a sample size. Day cream isn't an expensive product compared to other skin care. Trade price is v low for a day cream. This size is tiny. It's the first one that's felt stingy. After all the peels we needed a decent size day cream. I'm not expecting full size, but a larger size would be better. It's probably not a weeks worth of cream.

I hope there's some nice bath stuff soon. That would make me very happy .

Yes, feel free to remind us how much we paid. Also that it was £250 cost of the contents.

It's a lovely thing, and I'm glad I bought it. However, it is a fabulous marketing tool for M&S and the other brands. How many people now know about brands they hadnt heard of before, and are now going to purchase the full price product? It's a winner all round for M&S.

With the talk if swaps I would be happy to swap near enough anything for the cleansing balm. Feel free to PM me if anyone fancies a trade.

I just finished my calender (was using it as a countdown to going on holiday) and am slightly gutted to have missed the daily mn conversations! Am really glad I bought it, but I think I preferred last year's one overall.

Today's smells absolutely divine! Nice size for travelling too.
