Today's body lotion looks very nice - classy packaging! I am not that keen on the smell but it's subtle and won't clash with my perfume.

Tried the beauty shot his morning and my skin feels amazing! I've tried everything so not sure what is making the difference but my face feels so soft. I can't stop touching it.

SmileAndNod · 18/12/2017 07:13

Been lurking on the threads. Overall im really pleased with the calendar but I really don't need another lip gloss in the same colour as last week Confused

snowflakestar · 18/12/2017 07:13

Happy with today's but to see results it says that you need to apply twice daily for four weeks! It might last me two days applying twice a day, if that...

PodgeBod · 18/12/2017 07:23

Is today another one with more then one option? I got a body cream not a lipgloss.

AmethystMoon · 18/12/2017 07:24

Hang on Smile, lip gloss you say?

I had de-scaly skin body lotion! Xmas Shock

AmethystMoon · 18/12/2017 07:25

Does anyone else think the M and S calendar elves may have had a few sherries whilst assembling them this year? Xmas Grin

mogulfield · 18/12/2017 07:27

Love the body lotion, I’ve been using it on my legs and have noticed a difference (it’s still going after 2 weeks... but I do have little legs!)

snowflakestar · 18/12/2017 07:28

I'd use it all over as I don't have specific areas that would need it, and I apply products very generously!

snowflakestar · 18/12/2017 07:31

Maybe I should choose a small area so I can see if there's a noticeable difference. My mum can make a bottle of something last for a year that I'd use in a month! I like to feel loads of product on my skin, I don't like it when they sink straight in.

PodgeBod · 18/12/2017 07:45

I've slathered on the rodial. I love this stuff, shame it's way outside of my budget.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 18/12/2017 08:04

Buy this Nip+Fab version if you like the Rodial PodgeBod. I use it all the time and swear by it.

LizzieSiddal · 18/12/2017 08:13

Very pleased to get a body lotion at last!

I'm not too keen on the smell, I find it very strong but will use it inmy legs so I can't smell it!

SmileAndNod · 18/12/2017 08:16

Just in the way to work but I'm sure it's a pixi lip gloss. Sparkly and very pale. Must be difficult with colours but seems the calendar is very samey. Think I'll have a few bits to swap!

Trills · 18/12/2017 08:26

This body lotion was in box 18 for me

PodgeBod · 18/12/2017 08:33

BlackAmericano you're the second person to recommend that to me now, will definitely have to pick it up Smile

WindyWednesday · 18/12/2017 09:06

Finally something that isn’t for my face.

Used the meso mask. Last night, it sunk in so I didn’t wash it off, then my face was so tight in the night had to remove it. Skin is soft today, but also still dry.

Love a body lotion. My legs are very scaly.

Why are some pp getting different products. It’s a lucky dip.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 18/12/2017 09:07

I recommended on the last thread so you might be double-counting me. 😄. It’s still a good recommendation though. I’ve been using the Nip+Fab stuff for just over a year.

rookiemere · 18/12/2017 09:11

Very happy to get a travel sized body lotion, rather than a what sounds like an unusable lip gloss. Haven't sniffed it yet though.

LizzieSiddal · 18/12/2017 09:15

Trills I have that one too.

FranKubelik · 18/12/2017 09:21

Really enjoying opening the boxes each morning. I like the look of today's body lotion - it's the perfect size for my swimming bag.

On a side note AmethystMoon - have you tried the exfoliating Korean washcloths? They've really helped with my KP

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 18/12/2017 09:33

Body lotion here too. Not keen on the small (reminds me a bit of athlete's foot cream...Confused) but it's good to have something not face related and my upper arms can be bumpy so it'll be good to see if this works on that.

I used the Ren stuff this morning. Very watery and didn't have any noticeable impact at all! What's it supposed to do?!

AmethystMoon · 18/12/2017 11:17

Oooh no Fran I haven’t.....where can do find these? My arms are the bane of my life (dramaticXmas Grin), I’ve got the pimply bumps and even if I get shot of those the skin is so blotchy and red Xmas Blush

FranKubelik · 18/12/2017 11:40

Amethyst - I got mine from Amazon (£7.50 for four). There was a thread about them in S&B a couple of months ago and some people had great results. Not a miracle cure for me, but my previously bumpy arms and calves are now smooth. They still look a bit red and pimply but less so than before.

chloechloe · 18/12/2017 11:46

I've not used an AHA on my body before so am interested to see what it does. It's good that it's winter so there's no need to put sunscreen over the top - no exposed limbs in this weather!

AlannaOfTrebond · 18/12/2017 11:58

I'm really happy with todays. I spend hours in the gym and then don't want to show off all the hard work on my arms caus they're red and bumpy!

I was using flexitol foot cream on them which does help, but takes forever to sink in and really smells, so I gave up for winter. This has gone on like a dream and sunk in straight away. My arms feel nearly as soft as my Meso Masked face!
