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!

Why have we got more eye cream?!
I'd love some eyeshadow too, and a nice day moisturiser perhaps or another perfume...

Well, I found the other eye cream left an oil slick on my eyelids so I have been using it night time only, maybe this one will be ok for daytime.

I never wear eyeshadow as my eyes are too wrinkly these days. I don't want to look like Barbara Cartland
Image for the benefit of younger viewers who have never heard of her.

I wish they would put more basic stuff in like a normal moisturiser - not a primer or moisture boost etc, just a moisturiser. Also, a hand cream. I get through tons of the stuff.

the first eye cream is such small size. Good to get full size one I think

Another eye cream ... 

I never use eye cream and as the Filorga has done absolutely nothing for me that's unlikely to change. I hope this one will be better; but I'm not enthused.

Agree with @LoniceraJaponica a normal moisturiser would be great. Would much prefer that to a repeat product.

I'm a bit disappointed to get another eye cream, although I like the brand. I'll put it away and will use it. I don't notice a wrinkle difference with eye cream generally but it makes me feel awake and alive.

I've never used eye creams (which maybe be why I thought the previous poster had put a picture of me not Barbara Cartland!) but I liked the first one so I'm pleased to get another

@Chrysanthemum5

Hmmm another eye cream. Would prefer an eyeshadow first.
Also-anyone else notied that the Prai cream (glittery pot) has a false bottom!?! That's a bit of a con!

@LoniceraJaponica hello fellow plant. I'm old enough to remember Barbara, to be fair to her a lot of people in the 70/80s wore that shade of blue. Actually after the 70s inspired orange lip gloss on Friday I did wonder if yesterday's eye pencil would be blue. How disappointing to see plain old black.

I was surprised but not disappointed to see another eye cream this morning especially when there are so many other products that could be used instead. I would like a foot cream, a hand cream to keep at work and a nice moisturiser. Can't really be doing with the makeup as I never bother with it and rely on skin care to give me a fresh complexion.

I loved getting another eye cream as I am yet to find one that makes a difference bar hydrating. I am happy to continue the quest!

Happy with today's if nothing else it's perfect for packing for holiday.

DD and I are doing one of those DIY Christmas cracker sets this afternoon so I'm thinking I might put a couple of my calendar duds in for my DM and MIL for their cracker gifts.

Blueuxbridge pm your address... or does anyone else want to swap for a sealed alpha h rose gold from last year?

Disappointed to get more eye cream. I was hoping for some day moisturiser or luxury bubble bath or foot care.
