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?

Opposite problem here - I have a haystack of thick wavy hair and most styling products have negligible impact.

I was having my eyebrows done today and the beautician commented on how nice my hair smelled! Wonder Balm indeed.

I am chuffed with todays offering as I do use Percy & Reed No Oil for fine hair after discovering it in last years calendar - looking forward to using it. So far my absolute favourite of things that I have not used before is the Josh Wood oil - the smell - divine. Weirdly I have never used the Elastizer from last year - after seeing so many + comments on here I may try & use it before Christmas - the only thing I have been a bit blah about was the eyeliner - but I gave it away to a very grateful colleague.

Thanks, TheVeritableMrsF, I shall give it a try then!

Inimitable! Not veritable! I am beginning to make a habit of accidentally renaming posters.

The Wonder Balm is the first dud from this calendar for me . It's made my hair really sticky and tacky. It's weighed down and I can just tell my hair will be looking flat and greasy by tomorrow morning. I think this one will be
going in the bin.

What do you think would happen if I left the elasticiser on overnight 🤔? I'm not going to find time to use it between now and Xmas but am prob going to be going to bed with wet hair tonight anyway.

I loved the hair balm. Was running late this am so dry shampooed my hair for the 2nd day running (washed on sat)-always makes my coloured ends bushy. The balm sorted it right out.
Overall I'm loving this calendar

I agree the brow gel is really disappointing! Glad
I didn't pay full price for it. I do actually need some new brow gel now. Also didn't like the first nail polish will regift that.

Liked/lol bed everything else so far, the eyeliner is fab and I use it to go over my smudgey kohl liner to make the base long lasting - slept in my makeup yesterday and my eyeliner still looked great this morning

They've covered a lot of bases but I would love a primer, or an eyeshadow/lipstick now. Tempted to go crazy in the last few days and binge open all the remaining boxes

*Liked/loved

I was surprised how much I dislike the Wonder Balm, as the Percy & Reed Finishing Polish is brilliant. I use it every day.

I did. It like th wonder balm.

Today's looks interesting. I wonder if it will help me sleep?
Need to google, assume a night cream?

Judgment is suspended on today's until tomorrow morning! Looks quite interesting though.

Regarding the brow gel, I think Pixi must have changed the formula. This used to be my holy grail of brow gels. Now it barely even does the job. I might invest in the Benefit one.

My overall faves from this calendar so far are the handcream from Day 1, the Filorga wrinkle filler, and the Wonder Balm.

Looking forward to using the night cream tonight. Still loving this advent calendar- so much better than chocolate ones!

Ok, so I've cheated and put the sleep balm on already. I figured that I'll only be lazing working at home for the next 8 hours, so I will wash it off when I get ready to go out later.

Feels quite soft and plumping.

Can't remember who wanted more of the cleansing balm but i've not opened mine yet as it's not my kind of thing. If you would like it then PM me.
Swops i would like are the eye cream/brow gel or the hair stuff but happy with anything else really apart from the nail polishes as I don't really use them that much as not allowed nails painted at work or body cream.

Also still looking forward to the NUXE oil as DT1 said she was playing shops with my calendar and i got a lip balm instead haha

It wasn't me asking for swaps but if the original person doesn't get back to you Pengweng I'd love to swap your cleaning balm for my brow gel.

This was ok but very small size. I would like a shampoo, conditioner or shower gel now.

I don't understand why the creams are tiny sizes. It looks good and smells lovely, but again very small size.

I have a lot of sleep creams so will save this one for a special trip away but the reviews look good.

For those complaining about the sizes, you paid £35 for this calendar not £100 or even £70! And still the sizes and products are similar - selfridges has the eye liner, look fantastic the rituals cream and the nuxe is actually 10ml in that, etc

I wanted the liberty calendar this year but been comparing the products and will def get the m&s again next year and save the cash spent on a treat.

I love my calendar very lots and am missing it already.

I have an unopened cleanser and would be happy to swop for either the elastisicer or wonder balm if anyone is interested. Just PM me.
