Day by Day M&S Beauty Calendar- No Spoilers!

[happypoobum]

Are we all ready? Stand by your beds for tomorrow! I just keep looking at mine in wonderment. It really cheered me up every day last December having something to open every morning

I couldn't see another day by day thread - happy to delete mine if someone else has one.

My DDs and I are sharing with randomly drawn numbers. DD 2 was away so has just opened the dragons blood one. I've said I need to swap you for that because I'm old and I need it. She's hidden it and said as she went to work 'Don't go finding my stuff. If I come home and you're all plumped up...' p

I thought the Stila lipstick was great, used it with a lip pencil to line the lips first and blotted it and it lasted ages.
Still loving the Rodial especially the smell, anyone know any similar perfumes?

Today's smells good, but then I love rose. I think I'm going to use this on my neck tonight.
I wonder if some will be a little disappointed at another face cream but I love trying out all the different brands....I've found some of my current favourites this way.
It been nice to be able to pamper my skin particularly in this cold weather and all the central heating I'm exposed to. Hoping a few things will make a real difference.

I'm very pleased with today's. I love hydrating face masks and I love rose scented products. Can't wait to try it tonight.

Yay! Pleased with today's. It smells good and I have never tried any Korres product before. Looking forward to trying it later

I have been really pleased with everything so far. It's great to try products that I normally wouldn't. My favourite so far has to be the first face mask which smells gorgeous (not convinced it made any improvement on my skin though).
I would LOVE an eye cream/miracle cure so fingers crossed 🤞

Like the look of today's, will reserve judgement on the smell, I like it, but might find it a bit too much in a face cream. By the way it is a face cream isn't it? Not a mask? It says not to rinse, and I read the front as a night cream.

Put on at night, do not rinse = a night cream in my book.

It's more "things to put on your face" but I won't count it as a duplicate yet.

I don't mind two much if we do et two face masks or whatever, as long as it's not like that year with the two nail varnishes of nearly the same colour.

After all the outrage on here about the two very similar nail polish colours last year Trills I'd have thought M&S wouldn't be so daft as to do that again
Would like a nail polish though, something a bit festive but not garish! M&S do stock nice nail polish brands so I am hopeful

I'm bloody sick of all the face stuff too.

What about a body moisturiser, nail varnish, perfume tester, cuticle oil? etc etc etc.

The thing is, I didn't think the two nail varnishes last year were that similar, and I was happy with both of them!

And I have a VERY important question.

Are we all going to end up with awful skin because we are putting so many new things on our faces, in such a short period of time?!

This Korres overnight mask is amazing- I’ve been using it a month on and off and wake up with lovely plump skin

Love today’s!
I’m delighted with all the face products.

It's a face mask according to the descriptions online. Some face masks do have to be left on, they're normally the hydrating face masks i.e. Origins Drink Up intensive (which I really like).

And I'm also wondering that, Lizzie! So far so good though!

What is the difference between a no-rinse overnight mask and a night cream? None, practically.

Also delighted with today's and the face products in general! I liked the lipstick colour too so it's all going well for me. At this rate I would buy it again next year just to get a rerun of the same things.

We'll all have to report back in the morning on this one though. Can't test it out straight away.

I would expect there to be at least one nail varnish coming.

On the question of "are we going to mess up our faces?" I'm not putting all this stuff on my face at once. If I do, how will I know which (if any) I like enough to buy more of?

Right now I'm using the Gatineaux cream instead of my usual day cream, but at £84 there's actually no chance I'm going to buy it.

I'm using the Gatineaux cream as night cream just now, and won't start today's offering until I have finished it.

My current night cream is one I bought after trying it from last year's calendar :)

I’ve put all of my stuff so far into gift bags and donated it to the school fair. There has been literally nothing that I’ve even wanted to try. I don’t fage dry mature skin, hate sparkles and look ghastly in that shade of lipgloss.

Im happy with anything skincare, pleased with this. I have lots of new products to try and thats what i wanted! Using the Rodial product atm, and i love it! Wont be purchasing it though

Super happy with today's offering! I love Korres products and haven't tried this yet. I am also loving all of the face products, especially at this time of year when my skin needs all the TLC it can get.

I am really hoping for a mascara soon - my current one is getting a bit dry.

I am using everything at once! It's unlikely I will buy the full size of anything (certainly not the £80+ creams!) so I may as well go for it.

I'd love to see some eye cream now, and also something for the body - body lotion or hand cream etc.
