Marks and Spencer advent calendar - day by day discussion thread 2

[Milly848]

Continued

I've been thinking about my favourites. While I didn't love everything (and nor did I expect to), the things I'm likely to repurchase are:

The Prai décolleté cream - I was really surprised by this. The glittery pot put
me off initially as it seemed like something teenage me would have bought; but it's done wonders for my crinkly chest.

The elasticiser and the Living Proof blow dry cream. Used on their own I thought each was ok. But after an overnight with elasticiser slapped on followed by the blow dry cream in the morning my hair looked amazing - and did so for days.

I might buy the Ren night cream. It suits my skin and has improved it; but I don't love the scent. I see the Ren primer got a lot of love on the Liberty advent calendar thread - pricey, but if there's a discount on M&S beauty in the new year I may splurge.

The things I liked least were the lip gloss, the perfume and the nuxe body cream. But on the whole it's been really enjoyable; both the surprise each morning and this thread.

so happy with today’s - been eyeing this up online for a while. Wish I’d opened it last night though.

Happy Christmas, everyone! It’s been a pleasure.

MrsBuckettt the same happened to me think I will message m&s after Christmas as it seems a design flaw to me.

Please don't make the ladies who accidentally posted spoilers feel too bad, they were genuine mistakes!

I liked yesterday's, am hoping I can use today's on my DS though he is still asleep at the moment!

Merry Christmas everyone

Wow, some vicious reactions to spoilers! I'm sure it's annoying but it wasn't intentional!
I'm too scared to name today's now
But I've had this before and found it ok but it's not for an issue I have trouble with. I have a close friend who absolutely loves this product so I'll probably give it to her.

I've been following along on this thread here and there even though I don't have an advent calendar...because I sent one to my sister for Christmas and this way I've got to see what she's received every day. My sis has had a shit year for various reasons and I'm the only one who gives her Christmas presents so this calendar has been quite special, and I know she's loved it. Thanks to all who have posted here and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Apologies if anyone thought my reaction was 'vicious'. I was just a bit shocked, no offence meant at all so I apologise. It wasn't meant that way. Merry Xmas everyone!

Happy Christmas fellow advent calendar openers!

What a great December it’s been!

On the bloody Mary’s already! 🥴🥂

jane don’t worry about it! Enjoy your day x

Merry Christmas everyone! As I knew what today's was and I was up after midnight I opened it and used it, I like the smell of it. I don't have trouble getting to sleep but often wake far too early and can't doze off again so will try it next time that happens.

Well - not sure about favourites but I have tried every single thing and generally liked them, even if not initially (the perfume in particular). I've really enjoyed being on the thread, thank you all.

LateDec - did you enjoy the concert? I am old enough to remember JC on Playschool and love this show.

Oh i like this spray and I actually have a mini version and a pulse point version. You get themstaying in Sheraton hotels! Love it.

Merry Christmas! This year is a little different for me as im 6 weeks pregnant with my first :)

Congratulations @whiskey2014.
I love my pillow spray
Will have to take a look at everything got in next couple of days to see if any swaps. I'm sure there will be.

X

Ah I have this as a mini version as well and love it! Not sure I need another one though. Going to sort through swaps tomorrow, won’t get time today. Merry Christmas all, have loved being on this thread.

Nail varnish is nice. Did my nails before bed as only way to not mess them up

This is 'meh' for me - as @Whisky2014 said, you get them in hotels. I thought the last one would be really good 😔

Although I saw the spoiler last night so it wasn't a surprise 😄

I used the spray last night after seeing spoiler and thought it was rank. Dd loves it though so she can have it. Would have made made more sense having the spray yesterday for a relaxing Xmas eve sleep and the posh face cream today imo.

I know it's likely just coincidence but Dh started feeling sick once he got into bed, I know he's just got the big that's going round but he's blaming for for spraying "funny shit" on his side of the bed

I have really enjoyed this thread!

Merry Christmas everyone 🥰 x

Merry Christmas everyone and congratulations Whiskey2014!

Yes, we enjoyed the concert, Sledge. Hope you did too. This was our 5th year and we just love the feel-good atmosphere.

Today's pillow spray is something I've wanted to try so I'm happy. The value is £2.40. This brings our grand total to £286.93.

See you all when the Summer beauty box is released.

This thread has quadrupled the joy of my first M&S calendar! Thank you for all the craic. Happy Christmas everyone, see you all next year! x

I am a bit sceptical about today's surprise but I will still give it a whirl.

It's been a pleasure to share opening the calendar, and chatting about the products, with you all each day. I hope to see you again next year!

Happy Christmas really enjoyed this thread.

Happy Christmas everyone! See you all next year again 😉

Late that was our second year at the concert, last year was at the Royal Albert Hall which was amazing, the Westminster Central Hall unfortunately wasn’t anywhere near as good a venue. Still a great performance though. Thank you for doing all the adding up this month.

I've loved this calendar. Can't complain

I've loved the calendar this year, there has been a good mix of products. Also grateful for this thread and the useful tips that have been shared. I know I'll feel a little bit sad when there's no box to open tomorrow morning.

Happy Christmas everyone - I’ve loved the calendar and the thread 📆 💝
