M&S beauty advent calendar

[Keepthechangefilthyanimal]

Is available on Thursday in store and online apparently.

Oh have I got the wrong calendar? Mine finished yesterday.

Very pleased with the eyeliner too. Good colour and I generally rate Stila as a brand.

There's a second layer @EachandEveryone

Would love to be @EachandEveryone when they find layer 2. Such excitement!

I like Stila as a brand and the colour. I’m in my 60s though and eyeliner can make older eyes look smaller, so I don’t wear it. I’ll have a play with it though.

Would love to be *@EachandEveryone* when they find layer 2. Such excitement!

Was just thinking that! Come back *@EachandEveryone*!

@EachandEveryone I really hope you haven’t thrown it away!

Tried the eyeliner on and while I prefer my usual copper (I have green eyes and fair skin), it goes on easily and looks quite nice.

@EachandEveryone is rummaging in the recycling bin!

I will give todays to DD as I am a black eyeliner addict.

I am hoping one of the remaining boxes is the obligatory Shay and Blue Perfume

Omg to think I was happy with my lot as well😂😂😂

So I may still get a body lotion? Fingers crossed.

My eyes are so puffy since I hit 50 I really cant take eyeliner I developed eyes like Noel Gallagher.

yay, @EachandEveryone! A similar thing happened to be with a virtual gin tasting - we had a box with several miniatures of gin and they started talking about a gin that we thought we didn't have...until they told us there was a whole second layer! Best feeling in the world!

Fingers crossed for a body lotion for you, I quite fancy one too. And something nice for the bath. And definitely looking forward to the Shay & Blue perfume, I always like them.

I've just moved my top layer to the bottom and have learned from the mistakes of those upthread and transferred them in the same shape in the lid beforehand .

Mind you, I still had to do it twice as I took the top items out of the lifty thing and put them in the tin only to discover the bottom layer doesn't fit in the lifty thing so had to redo the whole lot.

What is everyone doing with the boxes when the calendar is over. I don’t know if I should keep/hoard the boxes as I have no use for them. Or be brave and recycle it.

Very happy with the eye liner, used it this morning. Glides so smoothly and really nice colour. Used to wear black all the time and now suddenly it started really aging me

I can’t think of any use for them, so I’ll be recycling mine. What would you keep them for?

I've kept previous years' boxes with the intention of refilling them for the kids, but haven't actually done that yet... this seems less kid-friendly but I can't bear to throw away the boxes. Maybe I should. The tin is lovely though.

Pleased with this eyeliner! I usually wear black but this looks good.

I've been taking them into work for the YR children's construction corner. They've been eagerly snapped up. 😄

I’m keeping the tin as that will be useful. I’ve kept some of the other calendars and refill them for my DM.

I recycle the boxes. It’s just that they are pretty and I thought they could be reused somehow. Maybe reception class would like them for junk modelling.

I took all the boxes out of the tin on Day 1 and lined them up on my headboard. I'm putting products that I'm not ready to use yet back into the tin for storage and recycling the boxes. They'd be brilliant for junk modelling!
I still have a couple of old calendars in the loft which I vaguely thought I'd sell on ebay but no one seems to want them. I had to re-use one this year when I accidentally bought DS a selection box rather than an advent calendar and had to quickly put one together for him!

I like @latedecember1963 idea of little ones having them to use as ‘construction’. I hadn’t thought of that. In the absence of little kids though, I’ll recycle.

The eyeliner is so pretty and sparkles are v flattering.

@GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal Sounds like we have similar colouring, what copper eyeliner do you recommend? It's something I keep meaning to try.

Did we all get the same colour today - vivid labradorite? I have one Stila eyeliner already and you've guessed it, it's the exact same one! Ah well, at least I know it suits me.

I'm using a gel one from Beauty Pie, @Bavarois, it's lovely and has great staying power.

I hate throwing things away when they could be reused but also hate clutter!
I'm thinking though that some of the boxes might be useful to use when wrapping awkward shaped smaller presents..?

Very pleased with today's offering. AND my eyelids are clearing up so I can get back on the balm, just not on my eyes!!
