Beauty Advent Calendars 2021 Part 2: The Curse of the Drawers of Disappointment *Spoilers included*

[Coniferhedge]

As you were everyone!

I think it says tin on the m and s page.

Oh

Some info here 🙂

I preordered the Look Fantastic one and can't wait to get it! Anyone else got that too?
Hopefully it's got more skincare than makeup. The makeup stuff is usually never the right skin tone or skin type for me

My MiL bought me the summer bag and it did have a huge amount in it for the size.

Yes but the advent calendar has drawers whereas the summer bag, which I also got and thought was great, did not.

Things would usually be individually boxed which would take up more room. I’d be surprised if there were 24 boxed things in there, unless it is deeper than a standard tin. Or the model has giant hands - we definitely need a paw for comparison There’s no mention of it being a 12 day advent calendar though, so I’m still hopeful. Though the products could also all be tiny!

I guess we don't know that the products are in drawers. I agree it looks like a stretch for it to fit 24 decent sized items in.

It looks as though that blogger has just looked at the photo of the advent calendar tin on the M&S website.

The post basically says "it looks like it's going to be in a tin, but we don't know anything else about it so far"

I could be a beauty blogger if that's all it takes!

I got the Holland and Barrett last year and was very impressed with it, so was planning on rebuying it and getting one for a friend's birthday in November. Last year it was £40 and I got it for £32 using a discount code, but this year it is £45 and have only managed to get a 10% code to work, so am hesitating now.

I hold out hope for an M&S 24 day-er! I got the very first one in 2015 (cannot believe it was that long ago – I still haven’t used up the Roger & Gallet hand cream from it ) but haven’t had an advent calendar since as I haven’t really felt able to justify one. This might be the year if it’s good! I remember the shop assistant was so shocked that the till showed it as something like £200 until the discount got added

I got the winter beauty box that they did in lieu of a multi-brand calendar
last year and I thought it was a really good selection. I’ve thought their calendars have been a bit samey in the past but they seem to have got a wider variety of brands and products in their beauty section these days.

I think it did say something on m and s site re a tin. Could have imagined it though !

I was in M and S in the Trafford Centre today and asked about the beauty Advent calendar. The cashier said she assumed there would be one but didn't seem to be aware there wasn't one last year. I said there's lots of us with our fingers crossed!

I can't see why it wouldn't be 24 days. So many other shops have 24 day ones so it would be pretty pathetic if m and s couldn't manage it

Bugger. I just typed out a long post and lost it.
In a nutshell I like Rituals 3D. Waiting for JL. And watching F&M for price reductions.
And playing it cool and not buying anything just yet.

Is this it?
No idea if this is new or old or a tin?

It's like a game of poker - Beauty Advent Holdem Poker 😂

Marks & Spencer Advent Calendar 2021
The M&S beauty advent calendar is back - but with a new look. This year it appears that the M&S advent calendar is a new sustainable version in the form of a tin case.

What's so special about this advent calendar?
Well, the M&S advent calendar wasn't released last year, so the absence has made the heart grow fonder. We're expecting some of their cult beauty brands stocked in M&S. From Prai to Ren, Aveda and Nuxe. It's going to be worth the wait!

Price of the M&S beauty advent calendar
The prediction is that it'll be with an offer in a similar way to the summer beauty box. If you spend £25 or more on clothing and home on the website, you get the beauty advent calendar for just £40.

Release date
Stay tuned!

Ahhh I've just gone for the exit game calendar this year, last year I had glossybox and H&B, have loads of stuff left but going to follow this thread as could be swayed...

I wonder if M&S will have the products in little bags just like as they are in the Dr Haushka advent calendar

Ooh I like that idea.

Do you think someone from M&S is reading this thread? Quite a co-incidence that the day after all our speculation about whether it is a 25 day calendar the picture on their website was updated!

But very pleased that they are in fact doing a full calendar this year.

Please no more Prai neck cream.

I thought this

I’m quite excited about it now.

I hope the M&S one is numbered. Last year's Latest in Beauty "AC" was just a beauty box. We need numbered days for the full MN opening experience.
