[Writersblock2]

Starting a thread to discuss the contents as we hit December.

Who is getting this one this year?

This was my very first beauty calendar last year and it’s definitely got me addicted. I loved it!

This year you can order the calendar from 31st October. Price is £40 when you spend £25 at M&S. Contents are worth over £300.

If you do want to know the full contents you can find them over at ReallyRee (SPOLIERS!).

Please don’t discuss the contents ahead of time on here as most people don’t want to know (or as in my case, read then forget!).

Perfume is okay, better than last years.

I actually have two of last years, one sprayed once, the other unused if someone wants to swap. Happy to swap both for one of the Aveda day one products or both for the Nuxe primer and rose cleanser if anyone has those in swaps piles?

I don’t love it as much as the perfume we had in the summer box... I had loads of compliments on that one.
This is a little bit too much like the peach scented pot pourri that was all the rage when I was a teenager.

Hating the perfume today. Would anyone like to swap for a previous years Shay and Blue, particularly the Blood Orange but open to any?

Happy with the last two days. Funnily enough, I'm currently using a coconut body butter from Body Shop; I love coconut in all forms (yes, I'm the one hoovering up the Bountys from the Celebrations tin).

Haven't tried the perfume yet, but I like most of the Shay & Blue range.

Am away for the next two days - must hide this thread, or risk spoilers.

I like the perfume. It’s making me feel nostalgic.

I still mourn the Blood Orange one. My son poured most of it down the sink.

I don’t know if they have it this year but last year QVC were selling sets of Shay and Blue minis at a decent price.

I’ve got the black tulip(?) from last years calendar, sprayed once that I’m happy to swap. Not sure whether I opened the rose cleanser (I don’t think so) but happy to give those up in a swap from this year’s perfume or something else

Today’s is ok, I’ll probably save it for summer/ my travel bag.

I like the perfume (much better than the Black Tulip abomination from a couple of years ago!)

I'd love another bottle of lady year's Black Tulip perfume. Happy to swap for the Nuxe primer if anyone wants that?

• last year's!

Happy to swap the peach for the black tulip?

Not sure if I like this perfume. The one in the summer box was lovely. I’ll use it as a room spray if all else fails.

Yes I would swap the Black Tulip for the White Peach if you PM me your details please @user1471474784

The summer box was cherry blossom. If anyone wanted to know

This is definitely very body shop fuzzy peach - but I guess that was very popular in its time!

Preferred white musk myself.

kjhkj I was thinking yesterday that it reminds me of the body shop peach perfume - fuzzy peach that was the name!

I really like it, it also layers well with my current perfume Chanel deauville so will get used up pretty quickly here

Nice to get a break from the creams, as lovely as they are, looking forward to a lip or eye makeup product next

Love Shay and blue perfume and bought both the blood orange and black tulip after trying them in the last couple of calendars. Not so sure about the peaches though.

30ml is £30 so this is worth £10 bringing the running total to £135.06.

I like it but I will save it for summer.

I'm wearing it today and I quite like it.

Agree it's definitely a summer scent. Nice though.

Haven’t tried today’s perfume as full of a cold and can’t smell anything! I loved the blood orange and managed to get a few in swops so it’s still on the go. But I hated the black tulip from last year and have a full bottle of it - happy to do a swop for something.

I love this perfume! It’s lovely. Really strong smell too.

I’ve been wearing it today and have liked it

What's the summer box??
