M&s beauty calendar

Ivytheterrible · 09/11/2016 13:17

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

Put my Burts Bees lip balm in my ds stocking as I have so many lip balms. Knitted a mini stocking so it fits perfectly.

Really like the EH balm!! Could definitely consider buying!

Bubbinsmakesthree · 25/12/2016 00:58

Already opened number 25 (well it is after midnight...)

Not something I would normally choose for myself, quite old fashioned I think, but it might grow on me.

Can't believe it is all over, I need my daily treat! It is worth keeping a look out through the year though as they did a summer beauty box this year which had some similarly fab products in for a great price.

mowglik · 25/12/2016 01:01

Opened the last box! Not a fan of the scent, think it's a bit fruity for me so will definitely regift but it comes packaged in a lovely box and was a nice product to end on.

My top three five and bottom three as will probably forget to post tomorrow:

Top:
Skyn eye cream
Rodial peel
Eyeko eyeliner - use this every day now it's quick and easy
Elasticiser
Josh Wood hair oil

Bottom:
Pixi eyebrow tamer : like stroking water through your brows, no hold at all
Leighton crystal file - but only because I don't really use nail files
Autograph nail polish - again more because the colour doesn't suit

All in all I've loved this calendar, will use most of the products. Great value - only thing I would wish for next time is maybe a small eyeshadow palette or lipstick or blusher from the Rosie range. So more makeup!

Merry Xmas to everyone Xmas Grin

Dillite2 · 25/12/2016 12:07

Hate that perfume- it smells like a nursing home.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Overthinker2016 · 25/12/2016 12:13

Oooh I love the perfume. I must like a bit of Granny chic.

I like the perfume too.

So happy I did this - will deffo do it next year.

And I hear there is a summer version?

wowfudge · 25/12/2016 15:40

The Liquid Gold is a treatment serum Overthinker - works like an acid peel, but gentle. I tried it without might cream over the top and was impressed. My skin looked and felt great.

alotlikeChristmas16 · 25/12/2016 17:16

Yes I won't be able to resist next year! I have a decleor one to get me through January...;) I've put this one aside to make one for dd next year with things appropriate for her

Merry Christmas ladies! See you all next year on the 2017 thread . Have really enjoyed our time together!

I liked this morning's perfume but didn't last at all Xmas Sad

Roll on next Advent !

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 25/12/2016 20:39

My perfume had leaked so it was all gone before I had a chance to use it. It did smell nice though!

Didn't get a chance to paint my nails, so will do it tonight with the lovely dark berry shade while relaxing.

Merry Christmas everyone!

AmethystMoon · 25/12/2016 21:22

I like the perfume but it doesn't have much staying power. It's been fun and hope to see you all on next year's thread Xmas Smile
