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

I'm really pleased so far but today's is the best yet for me.
I have combination acne prone skin and love facial oils. Having put it on this morning it's a dry oil so unsure if I would use it at night or just day time

Mine smells of wood. Burnt wood. I'm not getting the rose

Chloe N&P probably has less of the magic ingredients or a slightly different composition compared to Rodial.
N&P being the diffusion line of Rodial like Marcia Kilgore's Soap & Glory is the cheaper mass market version of Bliss Labs.

Not getting much rose smell either but I love it! I’d like to stock up so happy to do swaps with anyone who doesn’t want theirs. Send them over!

I don’t want the lip gloss from yesterday, haven’t even opened it. Anyone want it?

Yes please anne what are you after? I have the stila lip gloss and nail polishes??

I don’t want the lip gloss mowglik, do you want another or did you want to swap it? I like the varnishes but not sure I’d use more than one of each.

I have and want to get rid of the two body lotions, the sponge, the hair spray and the lip gloss.

Would like the rose mask/night cream, mascara, lip stick, face oil.

There might be others! I’m going to gather them all up and have a review.

Is it okay and in the spirit to arrange swaps at this point? Don’t want to derail or be annoying!

I like the Rose Facial oil.
Going to be sad when the AC is over.

Also up for swapping the Ren beauty shot if anyone wants another!

Love today's! Have really enjoyed getting a fab wee treat for myself every morning. Obviously not every single one is going to be an overwhelming hit wit everyone. I have loved it!

Using today’s as a cuticle oil is a brilliant idea, I don’t have any just now.

Thank you to whoever posted about the half price dragons blood at Boots, I’ve just ordered a bottle for myself . I was actually so sceptical of it at first as I’m 29 and like to kid myself I don’t need anti aging products but I really like how this makes my skin feel.

I am also reluctant to use the oil on my face as I have oily spot prone skin. However, if it will be OK to use on neck/decolletage I will do that and see what happens.

I will be so sad when the calendar is finished

Does anybody fancy swapping the facial oil for the perfume? I've only taken the lid off to smell the oil and I'm not keen on the rose scent. Love the Shay and Blue perfume so much!

I'm really enjoying the calendar! I'm mid 30's and haven't tried many beauty products before and I've not heard of any of the brands either so i really am flying blind 😂.

To those worried about using oil on their skin, I just use it around the outside of my face and its really nice - can't go near my nose or chin or I break out in spots. Same goes for any other type of moisturiser too.

I'm loving the daily treats too. I'm recovering from a major op and DH bought me the calendar as part of my recuperation.
Today's oil smells nice. I use Liz Earle facial oil occasionally so I'm interested to see how they compare. I'm going to team it up with the Korres rose face cream.

My oil definitely smells of roses. I would take it in to a store and complain if it smelt like fish!!

I have been lurking here... I went away on business for the beginning of December and ransacked the calendar for travel sized bits I needed, I then tried to replace the products I'd looted with the days I missed which was hard as not all the first weeks products fit into the later smaller boxes! Suffice to say I won't be doing that again and thought it best to keep a low profile in case of spoilers!
I really like today's oil and also the Korres Rose product (hopefully we've had that now!), body lotion and the Gatineau
I'd be interested in swopping
Perfume (about 1cm gone from the top but not sure how full originally)
Nuxe (opened but not used)
Rosie Body Glow (opened but not used)
Emma Hardie CB (as above)
Sponge (sealed)
Either if the nail varnishes (sealed)
Yesterdays lippy

I got my swaps today. Thank you!
Those waiting on ones from me I posted this afternoon.

anne I’m trying to get rid of the same things don’t worry go ahead and swap with someone else if you can.

I’m sure there’ll be a swap thread soon as well in fact you could probably start one now? Clog up the Royal Mail network with MN swaps right before Xmas

You’re on itstheyearzero. I did one squirt of the perfume and it doesn’t suit me. I love the oil! DM me for a swap?

The Neals Yard rose balm was part of the Mothers Day box, whhich was all rose themed.

I have loved it all. Tonight going to firstly cleanse with the balm, then peel my face off with the PVA glue thing, then use my oil and then Gatineau on top. Then some body lotion. Marvellous.
Have gold varnish on toes with two coats of sparkles. Looks nice!

Oh no my facial oil smells fishy too! Slight hint of rose only

My four year old opened the top one, little monkey. So Trills you could get someone to open it and pack it, it won't take up much space.

I have already opened the top one accidentally trying to get the box out. So I've seen it now. I'll have enough other things to open on Dec 25th so I'm not too disappointed! :)
