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.

I am a bit confused with all the skincare and what I am supposed to do with each product. Also, I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from my face earlier this year, and it had healed over nicely.

It now looks a bit red and sore so I am hoping it hasn't been infected or triggered by any of the products I have been slathering on willy nilly.

I had a major wine miscalculation on Friday night, and, being 52, I find it very hard to recover these days. Still moping about on the sofa saying I will never miscalculate again.........

I do feel good about treating myself though. Having the products forces me to create the time for myself IYSWIM?

Agree with everyone else who wants a good hand cream.

Sarahjconnor do you have a DD?

Oh dear MrsPestilence that's something to look forward to 😂

I have enough hand cream to last a lifetime but I'm sure there'll be another one in there somewhere! I forget to use it

Looking forward to peeling off my 39 yr old face later to reveal my 18 yr old skin.

I have to say that I have loved everything so far. Feels like a massive and very lovely treat.

Despite having a four week cold virus, my skin is looking youthful.

And thanks sluj, I hope mine goes soon too and that it's a one-off!

I'm quite pleased with it all so far - the lipnotgloss is not my colour, but then I'm not sure what is, I tend just to wear plain chapstick. My skin is looking good from all of the treatments to date, though I am hoping for an eye miracle cream to sort out the bags under my eyes resulting from my little sleep thief.

Thanks for looking that up, Trills.

Ffs that stuff is amazing

My face literally started peeling off as soon as it touched my skin

Rolls and rolls of grey brown stuff coming off , love it! All last nights fake tan I suspect as I was white as a ghost afterwards

If anyone doesn't want theirs and would like a gold nail varnish...!

I'm a bit scared to use it in case I end up looking like I've been sandblasted

I checked online and it's £17 for a full size tube, I will definitely be restocking!

Today’s stuff is weird in a good way. I could feel my skin peeling off. The skin under it it’s very sensitive, it hurt a little bit when I put the non alcohol toner, the rodial dragon and gatineau on top. But it feels amazing. Baby skin.

I'm scared to use it after reading these reports. But I'm slightly intrigued by the prospect of peeling off my face to reveal baby smooth skin!

I used the Korres mask last night and my skin was nicely plumped up in the morning.

I rubbed for ages and it didn't peel! Maybe I applied too much? Will try again another day, though my skin felt tight for ages afterwards so I will leave it a while.

It’s the action of the mask rolling off that exfoliates your skin. Like the granular scrubs, but it’s a different action it’s a gentle type of scrub.

It’s not the skin coming off it’s product and a teeny weeny bit of skin.

Back in the day when I worked in a salon that used clarins. M&S launched new skincare range, looked v v similar to clairins. This is a v similar version of a clarins face peel. For peel think scrub. The product peels, not your skin.

They didn't make it very clear at all so I gave up when I got fed up of rubbing! I've had foot scrubs like that before (the Scholl one is great). Strange how some people peeled straight away, I rubbed for ages!

Will be using a mask with AHAS tonight anyway, so probably for the best!

I didn't really have to rub it peeled right away

Def loads of (dead) skin coming off along with product. it's a chemical exfoliant rather than physical which is gentler but actually more effective IMO as it dissolves dead skin cells on contact. Fabulous and rather fun.
Definite repurchase , my skin loved it

Maybe some people have more spare skin that is just waiting to peel?

I say that not having tried yet so I don't know which group I am in!

Interesting!

Ive used the peel tonight, i think i need the full size product now! My chin is a problem area, tiny bumps and black heads. My chin has never felt smoother! Im trying to save money and was hoping these calenders would stock me up for a few months. If im lucky santa might bring me it
Has everyone else been using the Korres mask every night? I have, its set my eczema of all over my forehead so im just going to use it once a week now.

No, I've only used the Korres a couple of times and I've been using the Gatineau inbeween.

Do we use this in the morning before applying moisturiser?
