Hello everyone

Who has bought some full-size products from M&S after falling in love with them after getting them in last year's advent calendar.? I've bought the Emma Hardie balm and am considering the Filorga Meso Mask and the M&S 8 Hours Sleep.

TBH I don't notice any difference at all regardless of which product I put on my skin.

I have even tempered combination skin and have used cheap as chips Superdrug products to (what I call expensive anyway) £30 face creams, and my skin is exactly the same.

The Sleep Cream I referred to is the M&S brand Formula (I think?). I like it.

I use the Alpha H toner once a week at night, after cleansing. It is an acid exfoliator so not to be used too often as it is very harsh. Ideally you don't throw on any face creams afterwards but this is not always easy for me :)

Oh great thread OP Smile

I have bought full size Shay & Blue perfume in Blood Orange. I love it.
I bought three Stila lip colours from Boots in a gift set, they’re fab.
I bought a few different Rodial Dragons Blood products as they had great offers on after Christmas. The eye masks are lovely.

I think I will buy the Ameliorate (may have the name wrong) cream as it was good at smoothing my upper arm chicken skin Grin

Just bought the Eyeko mascara but the waterproof version. Has same brush which I like. Still using up the Xmas sample before breaking into the new one.

You lot have inspired me! I've just ordered the sleep cream and the Korres rose thing with 20% off code a lovely MNetter sent me Smile

Just checked. It was the Korres wild rose advanced repair sleeping facial. The smell is absolutely heavenly, and it suited my skin. It wasn't any better for my skin than The Bodyshop vitamin E night cream, but I might still treat myself.

Yeah, my faves (and repurchased) were eyeko and korres too!

I’ve bought the full sized Balance Me Rose Otto oil, a full sized M&S sleep cream and will buy the eyeko mascara too.
Not tried the korres, face footner or any of the primers yet
