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

Got it!
There are three different make up bags to choose from, black, red or gold. Just type in the codes mentioned on the deal into the search field. I went for the black as not so keen on the red one.
Got my Dad some slippers and a multi pack of knickers for me for my spend.
Missed out last year, so very pleased Grin

Just ordered mine Smile feel like a big kid. I've had the no7 one for the last couple of years but it's much the same each year, do people wear out eyelash curlers?? Anyhow, my M&S should be here on Tuesday Grin

If you look at the 50% off Beauty Sets, you only need to buy £17.50 worth of them to qualify for the advent calendar, so total spend is £52ish.

Yay got it! Code for make up bag wouldn't work for me but no matter I don't need one anyway. I'm just waiting for my confirmation email Eek.

I am unreasonably excited about this. It said out of stock yesterday, but it is in stock today and the offer is working. Just ordered mine. I bought Nuxe hand cream and a Pixi eyeliner and Red cleansing gel - bingo. Surprisingly easy to spend £35.

MuminMama · 10/11/2016 09:22

I got it too, by buying the Nuxe advent calendar grin £49 for 12 products, I love nuxe stuff

slinks back to M&S site

Effing hell, just ordered the fur coat and bloody advent calendar. I woke up thus morning not needing either of these things!

Got mine and a load of other stuff that I don't need

WellTidy · 10/11/2016 09:59

I've bought it for a friend for Christmas. She will love it. Obviously I will give it to her in 1st December! I had £70 worth of things that I wanted to buy that qualified anyway, so I feel that I have 'only' spent £35 if you know what mean. Is it heavy to carry? I am collecting from store on Saturday.

Deux · 10/11/2016 10:07

I got it last year instore and was thrilled with it. The DCs gave it to me as a Christmas present so I had a mass opening session.

Just bought online. Volume Vixen mascara, Neom travel candle and 2 pairs knee length thermal socks. Smile

BusterGonad · 10/11/2016 10:19

Look at all us happy MNetters. Grin

twilightcafe · 10/11/2016 10:28

I've ordered one! Can't wait to collect mine on Sunday.

I bought a tub of Elasticizer hair cream and a pair of tights.

MinniesAndMickeysNeedCounting · 10/11/2016 10:48

I got mine at 6:30

Needed some basics for toddler, leggings, tops, tight etc

Glad I didn't stay up in the end.

This is the first year i've heard of beauty calendars and i've ended up buying 3
Boots, aldi and m&s ones.Blush

BusterGonad · 10/11/2016 11:07

I've never bought a boots no7 one, I always found out too late!

DoorsAndWater · 10/11/2016 11:12

Got mine in my hand! In store this morning, bought a jumper I'd eyed up last week and a brolly Smile there's loads in store here, well chuffed

Squaddielife · 10/11/2016 11:19

Thanks to you lot i've just bought one I didn't even know existed until 5 mins ago haha.

Oh and a dress for me that I don't need and some socks for hubby as a stocking filler :)

Looking forward to it though yay x

Squaddielife · 10/11/2016 11:28

What happens if the dress doesn't fit & I have to return it? Do I have to return the advent calendar too??

MuminMama · 10/11/2016 11:59

I suspect you don't - never tried it though!

Auntpodder · 10/11/2016 12:06

I've just bought two (for nieces) at Marble Arch. seriously heavy and impressive. May put my back out hoicking them home...

Rainshowers · 10/11/2016 13:00

Loads in store, I got one today, it's not too heavy for the PP who asked.

For my £35 spend I got a pair of gorgeous boots, which I definitely don't need! As the calendar is a gift for mum I feel like I deserved a treat Wink

ExplodingCarrots · 10/11/2016 13:36

Got mine this morning thanks to this thread !

Needed to buy some new bras anyway
