@tinseltrauma I don't think this would give any hold, just moisturize and smooth. For my hair (type 3a) I'd use it almost like a leave in conditioner and add gel for hold. You might find that you don't need a product with much hold and this is enough to smooth and de-frizz without mousse too?

CointreauVersial · 07/12/2021 12:24

Oh.....is it the same stuff as we've had in previous calendars?? They must have changed the packaging and blurb, because I didn't recognise it! I still have half a tube lurking somewhere - I thought you put it on the night before, or is that something else? Confused

Either way, not sure it will add much to my life, so might give it to DD1 to battle her frizz.

Tinseltrauma · 07/12/2021 12:51

Thanks @IToldYouIWasFreaky , really helpful. I'll give it a go without first.

Lipsandlashes · 07/12/2021 13:55

So I’m wondering why you’re all going on about hair stuff and I’ve just realised in my haste to leave the house at ten to seven for work, I’ve opened the wrong bloody day! Anyway…I’m really pleased with tomorrows offering 🤣🤣

NumaNumaYay · 07/12/2021 14:08

I've also had this before and think I did use it up eventually! I guess use it like a hair oil or something where you comb in a small amount to the ends of damp hair and leave it in while drying? I had shorter hair back then so can't really remember if it helped style it a bit or not. My memory is awful!

AnnieSnap · 07/12/2021 14:27

@Lipsandlashes LOL! Well now the suspense is killing me for tomorrow 😁

I’ll try today’s offering for day-to-day use. If it doesn’t work for me for that, it may be ideal for visiting humid places on holiday (I’m still optimistic) to keep the frizz at bay!

Helpstopthepain · 07/12/2021 15:28

Only just opened today’s (and managed to stay away from this thread!). I’m not very into hair products, spend lots on my favourite shampoo and conditioner but don’t do much else between colour and cuts. I’ll try anything once so I’m looking forward to this!

Helpstopthepain · 07/12/2021 15:29

I Currently have food in my hair so may have to wait Blush

MrsWidgerysLodger · 07/12/2021 18:26

Happy with today's offering. I have a tube from a summer beauty box that's just running out so pleased to get some more. It really does minimise frizz for me :)

Talisin · 08/12/2021 06:39

Looks like another full size product. I love another thing in this range and this smells just as gorgeous so looking forward to trying it.

MrsWidgerysLodger · 08/12/2021 06:46

M&S are getting their timing right. I'm just reaching the end of my current one so a full size replacement is good. Not tried this range but have heard good things so looking forward to giving it a go

EachandEveryone · 08/12/2021 06:48

Am pleased with todays as I needed a new one.

NashvilleQueen · 08/12/2021 06:52

I have just run out of Wonder Balm so am delighted with yesterday's offering. I buy it independently of calendars everything!

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 08/12/2021 07:14

Bit meh on this one, but it'll get used.

HollyHocks13 · 08/12/2021 07:38

I'm so pleased with today's present 😊 I use this range anyway and have almost run out of the day cream and was just about to buy more!

Decaffe · 08/12/2021 07:40

Very pleased with today’s, just given it a go and it smells and feels lovely. Smile

HeySeamus · 08/12/2021 07:43

I'm another one that's pleased with todays offering. I've just tried it and although it's very rich, it did sink in and hasn't left my skin feeling greasy. I've very nearly finished my current day cream so I'll be using this one soon.

friedeggandsauce · 08/12/2021 07:48

Used yesterday's wonder balm this morning, it makes my hair feel a bit odd but I'll see what happens throughout the day! My hair needs a cut so that won't help!

Never tried the offering today so will see what it's like!!

FreshFaceTime · 08/12/2021 07:52

So I tried the wonder balm and it's definitely not for me. Anyone fancy a freebie?

Helpstopthepain · 08/12/2021 08:05

Looking forward to trying today’s!

Anjelika · 08/12/2021 08:09

Very pleased with today. I'm on the lookout for a new day cream. Already use and love the cleansing balm in this range.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 08/12/2021 08:14

I've never tried this range before but a natural moisturiser with an spf is a definite win with me.

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 08/12/2021 08:17

I love this day cream! It's rich but sinks in easily, doesn't sting and smells lovely.

Lowlifeinhighplaces · 08/12/2021 08:20

I have not tried the Pure range, but needed a day cream, running out soon, but my skin has become very dry, think its to do with the Clarins foaming cleanser I am currently using so hope this one will help with the dryness.

I really want to open everything to smell them.....but shall resist!

Quite enjoying my morning routine of a coffee, quick emails then open todays surprise then reading the comments on MN!

LivingDeadGirlUK · 08/12/2021 08:23

Todays is my holy grail and I've just finished my last tub so great timing.

I don't really get wonder balm but will give it another go, shame it wasn't the no oil oil as I love that!
