Day by Day M&S Beauty Calendar - No Spoilers (from 14 Dec)

[happypoobum]

Here's a new thread as the old one is getting very full

Thank you Fran I shall peruse Amazon

I like today’s offering but not keen on the smell. I had finished a body lotion last night, this was perfect timing 😄

I got the Ameliorate de scaler. I will probably just plop some on my old lady elbows as the rest of my skin is not dry really.

Weird how some people are getting different things (including me) Maybe we are all getting the pink lip gloss in another box or maybe not.....

I got the body lotion, it seems quite medicinal. I don’t used body lotion normally but used it on some parches of dry skin to see what would happen.

Have to say I really don't like the smell of today's! Will see how my skin feels after a day or 2. Have nearly finished the Korres now- skin looks okay, but I don't quite find it moisturising enough, and it is quite a strong smell, so won't rebuy. Happy to swap a sponge for the lip screen if anyone didn't open theirs!

Am going out early tonight after a long day at work so have just tidied up my make up and put a few dots of the Ren Y&B on my face.

I have to admit it has perked my face up a treat. It feels nice and tight ( I have oily skin) and firm. Very happy.

Just about to put on some of the lipnotgloss and I will be good to go.

I used the Ameliorate body lotion on my chicken skin arms last summer and it did improve it, but I was quite dedicated and used it twice a day! The full size tube goes on about smoothing bumpy skin which is what i thought it was well known for but the packaging on this mini size isn't very specific.

Not sure about todays body lotion. I need a thick cream for my skin, a lotion wont be moisturising enough. The fancy acids might set my eczema off, so will give it away! I cant smell it either, i have one nostril in use!🤧

You don't want to be able to smell it Caggie!

You really don't! I put some on my arms this morning, did an exercise class this evening and kept getting wafts of it...not nice!
I will use it but probably on my legs only.

Ameliorate body lotion really pongs. Regretting putting it in at bedtime now- will get wafts all night.

In better news I love the Korres rose night facial cream and will repurchase

Happy with an AHA body lotion , great for exfoliation / moisturisation rather than just sitting on top of the dryness iykwim

It smells a lot better than my usual AHA body lotion, the Sali Hughes recommended Palmers AHA. In comparison this is quite pleasant!

Festive offering today. Had one like this, but I am not complaining.

Ooh I really like todays' box. Very sparkly.

Happy enough with today’s, I thought no it might be good as a top coat to add a bit of sparkle.

Nope, not for me. Regift pile!

Oh goodness. Sparkly silver nail polish - not for me. Even a good brand is probably going to look tacky. We've already had one novelty colour so I would have preferred a classic or neutral colour. However, I will try it before letting my 5yo dd have it!

Nope.

I love metallic nail varnish but can’t take glitter. DD will be delighted to find it in her stocking though.

I quite like today's sparkles.

I thought for a moment I’d opened the HoF calendar today

Really happy with today's. Premium brand so worth a fair bit too. I shall have sparkly toes for Christmas.

I won't get a lot of use out of this but it is nice, and seems more holographic than big chucks of glitter.

The gold was not a novelty colour, really. Only if you always stick to pink or red-if-you're-feeling-racy.

I’m happy with today’s. Will use it as a topcoat.

Used yesterday’s lotion on my arms this morning and now they’re a bit itchy and I smell all weird.

I do love a bit of glitter ✨ on my toes so will give this one a bash!!! Tried the body lotion today it feels lovely on my skin. Tried the ren stuff this morning as I've had a virus for the last six weeks (grim) and I'm in desperate need of help!!
