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.

Just tried the radiance stuff.
I like it. My skin is lovely and smooth now.
I loved the Formula sleep cream from last year and bought the big pot. (Then dropped it on my tile floor and smashed it) 😩

@DurhamDurham 👍🏻

I've just tried today's. My skin feels a bit smoother but it also feels very tight, even though I've used serum and moisturised. Also the instruction of massage until the transformation is complete isn't very helpful!

I have a spot. I haven't had a spot in years.

How long are you supposed to massage for? I got my first spot in 30 years last week too but it soon went

I really like todays product! Will give it ago soon. Whats the big transformation though? Could do abit better with instructions on these things!

Haven't used any M&S brand products before so am curious to try this, and I do like a good peel. Agree the instructions are a bit of a puzzle though! With my tired face I could be massaging for hours until a transformation occurs!

I put it on and massaged for a minute then rinsed it off.

Overall I do think last years was better.

There were a few from last years that I didn’t use, like the hair products, but this year it does seem weaker.

Still looking for a decent handcream.

Happy enough with day ten. Will try it later when th effects of my wine miscalculation last night wear off. Feeling fragile and have a splitting headache. Will need a complete transformation!

Went to a Ball last night and there where ESPA Christmas crackers on the tables for everyone. Got a lip treatment, handcream and a skin rescue balm. Nice treats to add to my Calendar pile.

Espa Christmas crackers?! That's an expensive table favour.

I came home last night after a wine miscalculation (very much enjoying this new term), realised it was after midnight so opened today's and had giggles for what felt like hours about using 'until transformation is complete'.

I tried the polish on my toes and it looks horrendous. Just doesn't suit my skin tone at all. Shoved a load of red glitter on top to disguise it :/ it will take about four hours to remove I suspect. Oh well, I've liked everything else so far.

Trills - sponsored I suspect. Ball was an anniversary ball for a local beauty salon. Held in a local sort of stately home. It was lovely.

Well, that was a transformation I wasn't expecting! Felt like I had massaged watery pva glue onto my face until it broke into tiny rubbery threads. Rinsed it off in the shower and surprisingly, my skin feels amazing

I'd like to be invited to more events that espa would choose to sponsor. I want espa to think of me as the kind of person it would be worth giving freebies to.

I'm guessing today's product is some kind of acid stuff? Certainly sounds promising, although I'm never sure about "combining" acid products, so if you use an acid toner, can you also use this? Or a face mask?

Trills - me too! Although it was £50 per ticket. And my house and everything and everyone I came in contact with are covered in glitter from my very glittery dress. It all feels very festive!

After today's product, I've layered on the dragons blood serum and gatineaux moisturiser. Laughter lines are definitely less obvious and my forehead looks smoother until I move it

Just checking in to today to see what it is. Have stopped opening until I remember.

This is definitely less exciting than when my mum had one last year.

With the exception of day one I've really liked everything. I wasn't sure on the Stilla lip colour at first but now I've worn it properly I love it. I also really like the gold nail varnish - not a colour I'd have chosen but I really like it on and I'm delighted to have a change from my normal pinks or reds, I'm not very adventurous.

I'm 40 so maybe I'm the right target market for this, I really like the mix of products and would consider buying any of them (apart from the awful day one).

Actually I used the day one body cream last night in my legs as I wasn't wearing tights and it was nice. Not massively shimmery - which is just as well as my dress was! I quite like the smell. I'd use it on holidays I think.

Today's peel says it is a physical peel, not an acid.

I use an acid exfoliating toner twice a week, I definitely wouldn't use this on the same day, as I'd be afraid of running out of skin.

Im 44. I think I've realised I just want superficial beauty stuff and not samples of skin care.

Neouf I totally agree with you.

I’m so hungover that I’ve just got out of bed and opened today’s box. I like today product - it’s made my face feel nice

Give it another 5 years Noeuf peri-menopause will get her hands on you and you will just want a skincare miracle. There is a magic time in life when you go from looking years younger than your age to years older in 6 months flat.
