Marks and Spencer advent calendar - day by day discussion thread

[milly848]

I am so bloody excited fo Sunday

Does anyone want to join me in a discussion about the contents this year? No spoilers!

I was a bit disappointed with todays - have regifted every time!

I never bath, always shower, and always in the morning. I have vair vair expensive bedding so there is no way I am risking putting this on before bed.

I suppose at a push I could get up on a day I am not leaving the house, wet my hair, and then put it on. Does seem a bit of a faff though having to walk around with wet hair....

@Alwayscheerful
I'd be happy to swap the elastic stuff for the perfume.

I'm using the app and can't see how to PM you so if you PM me your address I'll get it in the post this weekend unless you'd rather wait til the end and see if you want to swap anything else?

@BollockingBaubles yes that's great, I need to find out how to send a PM from the app too.

Hi, I’d be happy to swap the elasticizer for something as my hair definitely doesn’t need more volume or bounce! I’d swap for the perfume or can wait until something else comes up!

@BollockingBaubles PM sent.

I was extremely lucky and was gifted both the harrods and m&s boxes - so far the m&s is winning hands down!

Not impressed with the elasticised from today. Creating a little swap pile myself so if anyone fancies that or the perfume let me know.

Adore the perfume and have gifted the Elasticer to my daughter as I am a strictly CG. Win win for me 😊

Have been lurking on this thread, I've just caught up on a few days of the calendar, and I love the perfume, I've not liked the ones in the calendar in previous years, but I love this one, may buy it again

I tried elasticizer many years ago and wasn't particularly impressed.

But as my hair needs some TLC and my bed linen needs changing tomorrow anyway, I'm going to slap it on overnight and see what happens.

Wait... I didn’t get the elasticiser today

Someone has been tinkering with box!

@ProjectGainsborough what did you get instead???

I have mega short hair so hair products always seem wasted on me.

I like the perfume even though it is heavier than I normally wear, it has more to it than some. I like the way it changes throughout the day and has different undertones. I'd love to try their black leather scent

no love from me for today's product but it gets really good reviews.

So disappointed to see the elasticised again I didn't even post yesterday

However today was a nice surprise- new product, full size, smells lovely and just what I needed.

6/7 happy bunny

Wore the mascara when I went out last night. If I’m honest, I’m not sure what makes one mascara significantly different from another But it did it’s job.

As I have a birds’ nest for hair, yesterday’s hair treatment is always welcome. I used it last year from the calendar and it definitely makes my hair less Straw like. If you have hair like me, leave on overnight for the best result.

Today’s lip treatment smells just lovely.

Definitely enjoying this year’s calendar more than last. Only the perfume I don’t like so far.

Punk I got a Ren night cream. Hoping that’s not a spoiler - I guess it’s all listed on the box though!

I liked today’s although must admit from the description on the box I was expecting something tinted.

Delighted with the lip treatment - I need this. I wear long lasting lipstick but it is caking on my lips as they are so dry. It feels great on - much nicer than balms.

I like the lip treatment but it took me ages to get any out of the tube. I thought there might be a blockage.
Anyway, now it's on it feels lovely. Nice and moisturizing and there's a bit of a menthol tingle too. And a full size tube!

Sane here Itoldyou, I was poking mine with a safety pin. It's a nice texture, but I'm not keen on the flavour. I'm glad its untinted though, a lot of tinted lipbalms are too pink.

Glad you're enjoying the updates, Audrina!
This is another winner for me as my Gatineau lip balm is almost empty. It was hard to squeeze any out at first and then loads came out at once but I put the excess on my dry elbows rather than waste it.
The skyn website also says it is a vegan product if this is a purchasing factor for anyone.
M&S usually sell this for £12.00 which brings our running total to £65.91.

Disappointed with the lip thi ng. Struggled to get itvout. No colour. Don't see the point of it

I'm pleased with this, it smells lovely and feels nice and tingly in my lips. I also really struggled to get any out though, thought it was just me being feeble 😂
Much better than yesterday's elasticizer which was my least favourite yet.

I’m another who struggled to get any of the product out of the tube! Finally managed a teeny tiny bit. I too thought it would have a berry tint. Not overly impressed, but try it out later .......

@ProjectGainsborough did your number 9 get put in upside down by chance
