M&S beauty suggestions

[thistleseverywhere]

I've just discovered a £30 voucher for M&S that's about to expire. As I'm massively pregnant I don't want to buy any clothes, but I'm in dire need of some beauty updates and thought they might pick me up a bit. Does anyone have anything they recommend from there? My makeup is all running out, so I could go with tinted moisturiser type things or mascara or... well, most things really! Also running low on good moisturiser for dry skin, and am open to something that counts as a treat rather than an essential. I just have no idea what is good, and no idea where to start!

Formula night cream is great for dry skin. Sali Hughes rates the day cream too, which I haven't tried.

Origins tinted moisturiser is lovely.

I second the sleep cream

Or the elixir

Pixi hydration sheet masks are good.

The Autograph and Rosie make up ranges are surprisingly good and they also do Rock Star mascara which I worship.

On a wider note, they do a lot of brands that you used to only see in places like Space NK. I like some of their hair care stuff like Colour Wow and Percy and Reed. I like Alpha H, Nuxe and Ren skincare which is cheaper in M&S. A girlfriend swears by the Nuxe all purpose oil, though I am not a fan.

There’s also a gorgeous lavender sleepy pillow spray by This Works which might be nice in the closing weeks of pregnancy. Not sure that it is mighty enough to help you sleep through the kicking baby and the weather induced sweats, but a very calming smell!

Formula Radience Peel (put on dry clean skin and massage until it all pills up and takes the grubby skin with it)

M&S Sleep cream (purple jar) the 8-Hours-Sleep-Cream

Korres ( extra value bottles at the moment)

I love Nuxe , love the smell and the products suit my skin

Loads of offers at the moment , extra free gifts etc

DD likes Skyn Iceland eye-gels

Formula sleep cream or some Nuxe dry body oil.

Ren one minute facial is amazing

The Formula night cream is excellent.

Their own brand Pure Super Grape range is amazing. I'd rate both the day and night cream as better than a lot of high end brands I've used over the years. The Rosie autograph eyeshadow sticks are brilliant too.

Thanks! Lots of votes for the night cream by the looks of it. Hopefully it can undo the sleepless nights ahead!!

I second recommendations for Rosie for autograph and regular autograph makeup. They also do some really lovely scents. I get compliments whenever I wear mine from there and I only pay £16-22 for a bottle.
