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

The mascara worked really well on me, I applied at 7am and by 3pm had a little bit under my eyes. Normally my waterproof mascara has totally shedded onto under my eyebrows and under my eyes before lunch so amazed this managed to last so long

Just realised that I've been following this from day 1 but haven't posted yet. I've noticed that I'm definitely not the target audience. I had the LF one last year but couldn't justify the spend so soon after having a baby and I had stuff to buy from M&S anyway. I'm 25 so the anti ageing stuff is a bit wasted on me but I'm sure I'll use it anyway.

Today's mascara makes the whole calendar worth it for me. My eyelashes look amazing which is saying something as I've been losing them since having my daughter. And it's almost midnight and still going strong.

CanIBuffalo yes please! I would love the perfume, keep missing out on perfumes swops. What would you like in return?

Miffy I open mine the night before as well I have 2 toddlers (who have their own fancy calendars!) who won't let me enjoy mine if I open it during the day so I open it the night before and savour it.

This makes a change, think this is our first hair product and a great size for my bag. Assuming it works like hairspray normally does, I’m

Bit boring, but ill use it anyway.

I can't think when to use hair spray - not used it for years! Nice to have a hair product though.

I'm most happy with the skincare so far, but everything is good quality. My surprise hit was the lipstick which i wear every day. Never used to wear lip stick at all!

It's my first beauty calendar and it'll definitely be an annual treat for me! Absolutely love having a little treat every day. I am 41 with good skin and all the products have been good for me. I usually use cheap skincare so this is a real treat. My skin feels amazing though I can't tell if I look any different!

I’m finding the hair spray really good (I opened the calendar all at once ages ago...) so I’ve been using it for a while. It seems to genuinely hold my hair without the sticky ness of some cheaper sprays I’ve used.

If anyone would like the perfume I am happy to swap for the cleansing balm or mascara or anything really apart from the bail varnish as I rarely use it. I still have last year's perfume too if anyone liked that? They both smell lovely but not on me!

Pengweng yes please to the perfume, I will pm you

I’m pleased with the little hairspray, it’s a handy size. I’ve given the mascara to a colleague who has lovely long eyelashes so she will look even more bambi-like than usual!

I really liked the perfume, until DH asked why I smelt of chip fat.
🤔
Dd wasn't enamoured either. Clearly it isn't for me.
Dsd has now claimed it.
She's claimed the lip gloss too.
She's doing rather well.

I don't use hairspray so another for the regifting pile! At least it's less clutter for the house!

Love the hairspray. I'm growing out a hairstyle so I've just started using it for the first time. Good to try a differe t type.

I don't use hair spray often but this is a good brand and a handy size can, so I'm still calling it a "good item". And it's not something that will go off, so it doesn't matter if I just use a little over a long time.

Used the mascara from yesterday. It’s really good. I was a bit worried by the thick wand, but it went on without problems and seems to be good.

Today’s hairspray is a good brand. But I don’t use hairspray.

I use hair spray everyday so I’m pleased with this.

I’m off out tonight and am so tempted to try to use as many proctucts as possible.

We’re going away this weekend for a 50th birthday party and lunch with Santa so I’m very pleased with the travel size hairspray. Might even tong my hair now that I have something to keep the waves in place

Hair spray, boooo. A serum would have been more interesting.

I've reached the conclusion that at the ripe old age of 35, I need to switch from black eyeliner and mascara to brown. Unless anyone knows how to make black less aging? DH says I look old and haggard with black

I find telling people who criticise your looks to fuck off is very refreshing and gives me a youthening glow.

Well your DH sounds a delight.

I have used the hairspray. My tousled hair is holding despite the humidity of the pool side (swimming lessons).

I never use hairspray or perfume, so got those for swapping if anyone wants a swap?

I used the liquid gold this morning. It stung and I went a bit red but nothing happened. Wondering if I did it right.

Hairspray? A bit old skool, in my opinion. I haven't used it since the days of scrunch-drying!

peppers I’m older than you and I use black eyeliner and black mascara. It looks fabulous. Brown mascara is aging. So is a difficult husband,

Dd16 has just taken the hairspray, it’s her school ball tonight so she is spending the rest of the day getting ready. She’s taken the nail polish too.
