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

Had an allergic reaction to the last plumping lip gloss I used so not very eager to try this one. Doesn't really look like my sort of colour either, looks very summery like it would be good with a tan.

So it's a lipgloss? Not a colour that DD and I would like to wear. I really dislike the pale Claudia Winkleman no lip colour look.

What colour is it meant to be?

You can say LIPGLOSS for this one.

It is glossy. Basically no colour there. Shiny. Minty. Meh.

Lonicera. Try it over your usual lipstick colour maybe.
It’s a bit pale for me but I’ll try it over something. 💄

Rose sheen would have been nicer than Honey sheen - it might have had some visible colour.

This doesn't hurt like some lip plumping things I've tried (only ever tested because why would I want hurty lipgloss?)

I quite like the feel of it on my lips but agree it’s more like a top coat. Overall not my colour but I’d wear it in a red or fushcia.

I’m starting to worry about how to get through January without a daily treat tho!

Not really my thing today. Going in my swap pile, I’m not good with lip gloss. It ends up in my hair

If you've looked at the colour of this one in the tube - it's not a highly pigmented opaque substance like the liquid lipstick. I've put it on my lips and TBH my lips look much as they do if I put vaseline on them. Slightly shiny. Not a different colour.

The glitter varnish is going straight to my niece

Am wearing the nailsinc gold varnish on my toes and LOVE it so much, am planning to buy more colours!

If M&S did a small discount of the calender products, I would impulse buy quite,a few!

Love all the face masks too, mind, my skin is so dry at this time of year, when I slathered on the gatineau one, my skin had absorbed it all 10 mins later

Am loving this calendar, such good value and variety!

Last year's Rosie super model smile lip crayon was miles better than this year's lip offering though....

What Gatineau did you get?

I got this - a moisturiser not a face mask

I’ve just tried the lipgloss and I quite like it. Last year’s lip pencil didn’t work for me at all so I’m happy with this one.

Wow. Another pale lip colour. Why not do a red or something more festive?
I’ve been thoroughly disappointed with this calendar. I’ve liked the Emma Hardie balm, the liquid gold, the first mascara and yesterday’s nail polish. The rest has been junk.

Junk to you maybe. I have liked most of it. DD is giving both mascaras to school friends and has kept the first lip colour and both nail polishes for herself. I am enjoying all the skincare stuff.

I don't think I will be purchasing any of the products as my skin has looked the same throughout. I have always looked after it and either I can't see the difference or I can't improve it any more. Also, I don't have sensitive skin and can get away with spending less on it than some people.

Im not keen on the colour, think ill do what a pp said and use it over a lipstick

So will I

"Junk" is not the same as "things I do not like".

I don't think we've had anything that NOBODY liked, have we?

Trills, I think the glitter nail polish was the only thing that lots of people were not keen on.

I really like the lip gloss. I'm with Trills - it's very sheer so don't look at the tube and let it put you off, I can still see my lip colour through it and it feels refreshing on my lips. I don't need lip 'lift' or plumping or whatever but hopefully the effect won't be too over the top (my lips are still tingling!)!

I like the glitter polish, my nails are a dark blue/purple and I did the tips with the glitter, looks nice and sparkly, all glitter is scratchy so I put top coat on and I’m happy. Not tried the lipgloss yet but it will be fine over a coloured lipstick, I’ve got a couple which are a bit mat so I’ll try it over those. I’m really happy with the calendar, I’ve tried all the stuff yet but the only two I don’t think I’ll use is the gold nail varnish and the body stuff from day one, it’s got a really strong perfume which I’m not keen on.

Trills, I got Gatineau melatogine futur plus anti wrinkle radiance mask

Or am I going nuts,and was this lying around on my dressing table already?!

Love today's lip plumper, it is sheer and makes my lips look and feel
nice

No junk in the calender at all, IMO!

I love pale / translucent lip colours and glosses so am very pleased with today's. I wouldn't want a really dark colour, it would hardly get worn. Each to their own, eh?

Quite a bit of 'glass half empty' posting IMO. Everything isn't going to be the exact shade everyone would like.
