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

Marking my place in thread two.

I’m a bit “meh” about the Emma Hardie balm as I’ve still got some left from last year. I have to use it very sparingly as regular use broke me out in spots.

I’ve never heard of today’s mascara brand but I wear mascara almost every day so I’m happy with another one and full size is great.

I don't usually bother with mascara as I wear contacts, manage to smudge everything and have a pathological dread of over made-up spider eyelashes.

However I tried this one at 7am this morning and so far, I'm pleased. It's not all over the place and it looks natural- though I only used one coat on the top lashes. I would buy a bigger version of this if it lasts till 5.

Happy with the mascara but DD is eyeing it up.

A little bit disappointed to get another mascara after both my Xmas Nights out 😣 could’ve done with this one 3 days ago. I don’t wear mascara daily.

First year I’ve had one of those and overall really happy with it. My favs so far have been dragons blood, the face peel thingy and the beauty blender sponge.

I like the smell of the day 1 body lotion but rarely use that sort of thing.

I hated the perfume, smells like gin!? I won’t use the cleanser pot or the gatineuax either.

@Invisimamma I'm happy to take the perfume of your hands? Is there anything you want to swap with?

There was a lipstick by this brand a couple of calendars ago. It was so nice that it made me explore the range. I really like their stuff.

I love the perfume, the dragons blood and the gatineau. Was reasonably impressed by the first mascara haven't opened the second. I put the rose gold thingy on the dressing table and have just discovered a huge puddle of it... It's leaking! Only about 1/3 bottle left and it's still inside the plastic shrinkwrap

I'm so pleased with this mascara. It doesn't smudge. That's the biggest test for me when it comes to mascara.

Non-smudging is the most important thing.

I'm sharing with DD and she bagged the last one.
So I'm happy that it's a mascara and it's FULL SIZE!

If it was black/brown mascara I'd be all over it.

The mascara is brilliant. Absolutely doesn't budge and much better that the Estee Lauder Doublewear I usually use

Love this calendar! I'm interested that you all like the Dragons blood. I don't really understand it, what does it do/how should I use it?

Happy to swap perfume (1 squirt used) and the unopened gold nail polish. I haven't opened the sponge either.
I'd mist like the Gatineau moisturiser.

I have been really pleased with the last few days. I used the new mascara today and I like it. The EH cleanser is great for travel.

I got into a bad habit of opening the next day's box late at night. I'm going to try and stop as of this evening lol.

Obliges Miffy

MIFFY!!!! I FORBID YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol happypoobum - it started the other night. I had forgotten to open that day's box so I opened it late at night. I think it was a pretty crappy one, the sponge perhaps, so I thought sod it I'm gong back in for more.

I solemnly swear that from here on in I will behave
...skunks off to spray some of the lovely perfume...

Try having to wait two days before opening (sharing with a family member)

Now that's willpower for you

CointreauVersial what colour mascara did you have then? On M&S website the only colours available are balck and brown

Rainydays I use my Dragons Blood in the morning, as my serum before moisturiser.
It makes me look more awake & minimises the look of fine lines around my eye area.

Just checking into the new thread. Neither happy or unhappy with today’s offering. I don’t wear mascara that often and really liked the first one. I’ll save and use this but it doesn’t excite me.

I was going to join in but I only just got mine today and ended up opening them all
It's a great calendar though, the only thing I will say is don't build your hopes up for day 25.

I've a few things I'd like to swap too if anyone is interested. Won't mention the future products but I'm not a big nail polish or lipstick fan if anyone wants to swap me for some skincare or the lovely orange perfume?

Thanks for the new thread.

Not tried it yet but love black mascara.

I’m definitely up for some swaps!

I lost you briefly - checking in to thread #2.

I won't use the nail polish if anyone would like to swap that with me. Wrong colour for me.

Love today’s offering!
