M&s beauty calendar

886 replies

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

Mines come this morning, in a separate box to the nuxe calendar plus pants.

Sorry for your loss Cider. I'm sure your mum would be really pleased that you've treated yourself at such a emotional time. How lovely that you've got your love of beauty products from your mum.

Cider I'm sorry too. If I had died and was able to watch my daughter buy something that brought a smile to her face, I would be glad. If you see what I mean.

Am currently in m and s and wondering about getting one for DS's 22 year old girlfriend. Or is it for ... ahem ... slightly more mature ladies?

Lambzig · 14/11/2016 12:48

Yes I got the despatched email for the stuff but no mention of the calendar. I don't know whether to pick one up tonight as I am near m&s or trust it will turn up.

I don't want two.

ilovecherries · 14/11/2016 12:59

I'm sorry for you loss, Cider. I think it's lovely that you were able to buy something that is so her, and I hope each time you open something it brings with it a lovely memory of your mum to comfort you.

I think you can find a full list of contents online - I'm trying to avoid peeking as I want the surprise! Last year there were a couple of skin products that were a bit more targeted at those of us with a wrinkle or two (!) but the rest was pretty universal.

Sorry for your loss cider

sorry CIRCLE I think she will be chuffed that you have bought this.

Mine arrived this am - now hidden & I didn't peak ready for DS & DH to give me on 1/12.

I had the calendar last year & thought it was fab - I thought that there were only 24 boxes last time round rather than this years 25 ? maybe I'm remembering incorrectly - age related !

Gingernaut · 14/11/2016 14:28

I've bought one for my DSIL. I wanted a new top and needed a new bra.

I like the look of the Sanctuary one myself.

OverScentedFanjo · 14/11/2016 14:30

I rang this morning and was told it would despatch tomorrow. I have now had an email and it seems to be on its way.

Namechangeemergency · 14/11/2016 15:00

I have had my email. It says I should have it for Tuesday.

Yip.

happypoobum · 14/11/2016 18:41

It's coming! It's coming! It's coming tomorrow Grin

Bringmewineandcake · 14/11/2016 21:39

One despatched, one still pending...

Ladybirdbookworm · 14/11/2016 23:00

I got mine yesterday
I came home sat on the sofa and carefully opened everything in sequence and put them all back apart from the liquid gold which I was desperate to try
Then I got up this morning and reopened everything again - damn my lack of willpower
Blush

BusterGonad · 15/11/2016 04:36

Mine is arriving today at my parents house, I won't get hold of it for a while so I'm going to save it for next year!

MiracletoCome · 15/11/2016 04:47

I got some 20% off vouchers for 17th-21st Nov so will go and have a browse on Friday if there are plenty in store I might buy some home stuff as that appears to be included also

I wonder if the 20% off will work on the beauty box...

Rudy, sorry pressed post too soon!!!! I've decided to have mine next year, I'm moving back to England in the summer and it will be a lovely welcome home Christmas present to myself, also my beauty stocks will be diminished so it's the perfect present for me too! I can't wait to see it!

paddlenorapaddle · 15/11/2016 09:00

Sorry for your loss cider Flowers

Got mine by buying the children's Christmas pj's and thermals which are really great quality this year

Apparently they used the stock in stock and will be fulfilling the online orders from that but it's nice and substantial

Which means I now have to make one for the children to out do it sigggh

Pandsbear · 15/11/2016 09:45

Mine arrived this morning (online order). It was despatched separately from my actual order - which hasn't yet arrived! I am hiding it away.

There are still gazillions of these in store! That'll teach me to order one at the crack of dawn.

Ironically I have the advent calendar, but the rest of my order has gone walk about.

MixedUpConfusion · 15/11/2016 16:28

Mine came this morning! Calendar by UK Mail in a van then half an hour later the rest of my order brought by postman. Haven't peeked yet though! Trying to be good and get a nice surprise every day
