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

Thanks Tracy It's that time of year eh?

Now, the Gatineau cream. Mine was a lip plumper - is that what everyone else got?

So is the face Footner in this cAlendar??

Lip plumper? I don't have one of those.

The "face footner" was this www.marksandspencer.com/innovate-radiance-reveal-peel-50ml/p/p22451103

OOH how exciting! I got this....precariously balanced upon my thigh!

What did you lot get?

Wasn't Gatineau aaaaages ago?

I got this $$$ face cream

I haven't had a lip plumper either.

No I deffo got the lip plumper instead of the face cream. I didn't realise until now as the brand was the same and I guess I was just busy at work.

Oh well, at least I got the lovely sponge rather than a stupid lip sunscreen

It was a full 10ml so worth £32 www.marksandspencer.com/perfect-design-volumising-lip-care-10ml/p/p22472530

Lucky you happypoo!

Big mulled wine miscalculation last night which is the worst of all wine miscalculations. My mouth feels like it’s covered in PVA.

Having an early night in retaliation and will cover myself in loverly creams.

I'm really confused happypoo when did you get that? Did anyone else have it as haven't seen it mentioned before. I thought there was only one day we'd get an either or as there are 26 products listed and you get 25 of them and the only either or was the sponge or lip sunscreen (which I'm way happier with than the sponge!).

I was getting excited thinking I hadn't opened up todays!

Was really looking forward to today's as I like REN but am not entirely convinced. It made my face feel really tight and I had to slather on extra moisturiser to feel comfortable. I might try it again tomorrow and see. I also hate the name..."stay young & beautiful"?! WTF, there's just so much wrong about that.
Between the REN and dragons blood I think I am going to go out and buy the NIp+Fab product that someone mentioned was a good alternative to the Rodial.

I must have got in the same day you all got your Gatineau cream as I would have just seen the brand name and thought no more about it.

I use a tiny bit under eyes and patting up towards temples and/or on jawline, and on top of make up (same areas). It does work temporarily but I don't really see it as skincare like creams or serums.

That's weird. The back of the calendar only has one Gatineau product and it was the cream. I'm jealous! I'd much rather get the lip plumper!

P.S. I made the DH look so I wouldn't see any spoilers.

I got mine mail order. I got DD one at the same time (she lives in London)

I am planning to give her the lip plumper as she is always talking about getting hers done so I am not sure how to phrase a message asking whether she got lip plumper or cream. Tbh I reckon if she had got very expensive lip plumper she would have gone on about it. I will feed back after Christmas but she doesn't get home until late Christmas Eve....

Does the Gatineau lip thing work?

Ladies, how does this sound for a weekly routine:

Korres sleeping facial every night.
Gatineau and Dragon's Blood every morning.
Radiance peel every Monday.
Alpha H Rose Gold every Friday.
Ditch my usual facial scrub.

Thoughts? I'm new to skin care.

"stay young & beautiful"?! WTF, there's just so much wrong about that.

Totally agree. Put me right off.

Routine sounds excellent

Yes agree about that part of the name, bit odd

Sounds like there’s been an error with the lip plumper

Very jealous as I would have loved the lip plumper! I also got a cream (which I'm sure is lovely, just seems a bit naughty to fill calendars with different things and not flag it on the back).

Ugh major wine miscalculation last night. Can somebody advise which product we have received so far will make me look actually human for when I rock up to work at 9am? Right now I look grey, flabby and regretful.

Podge sorry to hear about the wine miscalculation....try the rodial dragons blood or the Ren beauty shot....might help?

Excited to try today’s. I have that KP ( can’t spell it for toffee) bumpy thing on my upper arms. I’ve seen this cream in Boots but it was about 20 pounds. Now I can see if it will be worth the cost. I have high hopes.....off to shower now and try it

Delighted with todays - just what I wanted for my scaly winter skin.
