Nosey I'll swap you my Ameliorate Body Lotion for your Ren Face Serum please.

LoniceraJaponica · 25/12/2017 13:56

Oh, a make up bag. How exciting. I never take make up out with me, just the odd lipstick. Would have preferred a hand cream.

CanIBuffalo · 25/12/2017 13:59

I'm going to use mine for keeping the threads for my new embroidery kit tidy and untangled. Smile

LoniceraJaponica · 25/12/2017 14:08

Although, on the whole, I did enjoy the calendar and will get one next year. My favourite product of the ones I have tried so far was the sleep mask. The smell is utterly divine.

LizzieSiddal · 25/12/2017 16:54

I just can’t get over the fact there wa no eye cream or hand cream. Really very odd.
I will buy another advent next year but not M&S. May go for John Lewisor if I’m feeling flush, the Liberty’s one.

PeoniesforMissAnnersley · 25/12/2017 17:02

I think it was just aimed at a different age group from me, I’m a (fairly!) young-looking 32 and didn’t need 800 anti aging/hydrating creams. Will go for a more make-up based one next time. For £35 I basically got a tiny perfume and two mascaras one of which gives me panda eyes... I like the gave footner because I am a picker who loves that kind of thing Grin

LoniceraJaponica · 25/12/2017 17:03

I find eye cream pretty pointless. Normal moisturiser does for me.

Rachie1986 · 25/12/2017 17:05

Bernice I'm interested in primers and perfume.

Can happily give you balance me oil and probably others too - let me check when I get back!

Rachie1986 · 25/12/2017 17:07

Bernice sent you some messages x

wellthatsjustgreat · 26/12/2017 13:43

After all my moaning re. Lack of eye cream, the calendar completely redeemed itself with the m&s sleep cream & the 2nd primer. I love both products now that I've had the chance to try them out.
I've tried most of the items or re-gifted but I have the following to swap if anyone would like them:
Rose face oil
Hair spray
Perfume
Make up bag

Things I'd like to swap for:
M&s sleep cream
Emma Hardie balm
Corrective primer
Ren shot

wellthatsjustgreat · 26/12/2017 13:45

Oh and I'd happily swap something for the pixi lipgloss too.

I'm wishing I hadn't tried everything as I was going along now so that I had more to swap (but then I wouldn't know if I liked it I suppose) Smile

MoonlightMedicine · 26/12/2017 14:57

I don’t as happy with a makeup bag because I needed one but (not meaning to be picky) i can’t bring myself to use it for cosmetics because it will quickly get stained! I’m keeping all the non-cosmetic creams and serums in it.

MoonlightMedicine · 26/12/2017 14:58

Oops. Should read ‘I am happy with a makeup bag..,’

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 26/12/2017 15:15

Nosey I've PMed you.

AlannaOfTrebond · 26/12/2017 15:29

MyNewHobbyIsGin I'll swap the Gatineu for the Ameliorate if you still have it available?

StickyProblem · 26/12/2017 16:03

wellthatsjustgreat I've got the corrective primer if you'd like to swap for the perfume? Will pm you :)

MyNewHobbyIsGin · 26/12/2017 16:45

Alanna perfect - I'll pm you

wellthatsjustgreat · 26/12/2017 16:58
