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

Same sentiments re the perfume, lovely smell, lasts 5 minutes.

Truly loved the calendar, and will be first in the queue next year for 2017 Smile

It seemed to have some staying power on me - it lingered even after I'd tried to wash it off!

Arghhhhhh! I've just spilt half a bottle of the josh wood hair oil over my bed. The room now smells delicious but what a waste (of hair oil and duvet cover!)

See you all next year. Really enjoyed the day by day account of products and very impressed by my beauty collection!. Just wish I had another beauty calendar to get me through January. Really hate that month, so must keep my eye out next year for a pick- me- up for January 2018😞. Happy Christmas All🎅

I loved:
Hand cream
Hair oil
Liquid gold
Night cream
Crystal nail file

Didn't like:
Rituals body cream - way too perfumed

I've just repurchased the skyn eye cream Blush

I'm very happy with the rituals body lotion - my skin feels very soft and smooth

For anyone who hasn't seen it there's a M&S beauty calendar swap thread. Can't link but it's also in S&B.

If anyone wants to buy elasticiser, John Lewis currently have it for £60 for a 1l bottle, which is an amazing value as it's £30 for 150ml on M&S.

The "Leighton Denny" branding on my crystal nail file has rubbed off and underneath I can make out the words "Nailoid Results". Is it just me? Is it the same company?

I've lost the eyeliner. I'm sure I didn't give it to anyone as a Christmas present but who knows.

I liked the eyebrow thing

Was a bit delayed opening my calendar but have loved the spoils -
Rosie lip crayon (just my colour. Hadn't tried any of her MU range, but would defo give it a try after this)
Hair elasticieser
Hair balm (loved)
Eye cream - meh - not sure really it makes any difference

Haven't tried liquid gold yet

Wasn't too impressed with either primer
Burts bees - handy
Didn't like the hand cream
Perfume wasn't my taste
Love the hair oil

All in all - a success - would repuchase quite a few- agree a doffernet nail colour would be nice and a few MU palette or shades
