M&S beauty advent calendar

[Keepthechangefilthyanimal]

Is available on Thursday in store and online apparently.

Wonder if M&S read these comments...?

Two days of small items in a row is a bit meh.

@Anjelika I'm the opposite, I like to get things I might never have bought and might never have again. The shower gel will be a fleeting experience, though!

I need hand cream by the bucket load, handwashing and sanitizer has made my hands a mess. I’m sure I’m not alone in this.

I’d rather have a mini hair product. I don’t use them.

I've used the hand cream twice already this morning, it's not very moisturising! Hopefully, tomorrow will be better! Favorites so far are the Emma Hardie on day 1, the wonder balm & the Pure moisturiser.

I think I’ve opened the wrong box - I didn’t get a hand cream ..

I have 😳 so overwhelmed by the daily gift with sparks card - not !

I didn't know Prai did a hand cream so am looking forward to trying this. It's going in my handbag as it's SO SMALL

@PomRuns

Have you seen this thread?

M&S Sparks card http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/styleandd_beauty/4408133-M-S-Sparks-card

The size of the box is so wrong that I wonder whether they had planned to put another product on this day and this was an emergency replacement because of stock issues?

Useful for handbag but could have been bigger, disappointing

When I saw today’s offering, I immediately thought of all the posters yesterday saying they wanted hand cream. The size if this is very disappointing 🙄

Very stingy size.

Such a stingy size for something that I would expect to be relatively cheap!

I tried the tiny moisturiser this morning and its quite nice but I still prefer the Pure one.

@LizzieMacQueen yes ! Hollys book indeed ....

I am happy with today's hand cream. I bought the calendar knowing that I wouldn't be getting 24 full sized products. Yes it's small but Prai is a brand I like so pleased to try it. I've actually put this in the car with my emergency tissues & lip balm - perfect place for a small tube

Very impressed with today's offering. Full size too I think. I am about halfway through my current one (not this brand) so won't be opening just yet but looking forward to trying it.

Ohhh, todays box is more interesting, again not tried this brand before.

Look forward to giving this a go. Back on track with the offerings for me!

I'm not sure what it is need to get my magnifying glass out.

Aha! (appropriate as it’s an aha toner) I remember this was one of the things that really made me want this calendar. I’ve used Liquid Gold in the past ( but not the rose variety) and loved it but it was pricey so I switched to Superdrug’s own brand one eventually. Ain’t nothing like the real thing though.

This is a good one (it’s definitely not full size though). This is my number 1 go to beauty product that I use every single day without fail. It makes the biggest difference to the way my skin looks. Nice to have a mini travel version.

This isn't something I'm familiar with. So best used as it says - every other evening after cleansing and don't follow with moisturiser? So it's a toner? Thank you!

It’s a toner which resurfaces your skin. Not a 1980s “close your pores” toner. It’s excellent.

Ooh this sounds interesting! This is why I get the calendar, for things I wouldn't normally have or have never tried before.

Am happy with other things too of course but 15ml of hand cream really was miserly! When I compare to other handbag sizes it is half the size! On my hands that's about 2 applications (I'm like a rhino 🤣)

Like the Ren glow tonic? I quite liked that but didnt get on with the Pure glycogen one.

Hurrah! This was the thing I bought the calendar for (instead of buying a full-price bottle of this ). Had it twice before and it's one of the few beauty items I use regularly.
