M&S beauty advent calendar

Is available on Thursday in store and online apparently.

Pleased with today's. I'm in a rut of using black but brown is better for me.

I normally only wear black mascara but I'll give this one a go. It's not a tubing one though, is it? Every other kind that gives me panda eyes.

Yup, it's a tubing one...I think all the Eyeko ones are? The Black Magic is my go-to mascara as I find it stays all day without smudging. It is an absolute bugger to get off though!

Ooh, it is? That's excellent news!

(Wish it was black though!)

Looking forward to trying brown! My eyes are very dark so I’m not sure if it will suit me but I’ll have a try!

I've never tried brown mascara so happy to have some to try. I've had a few Eyeko mascaras and they're always good. Where does it say it's a tubing one though?

I like brown mascara, black is to harsh for me so looking forward to trying this. The one I am using at the moment is almost finished then will try this....but then again I may try it....soon!

Its a travel size at 4ml according to the website its £10 to buy!

Pleased with this as brown is more flattering than black for me.

Love this brand. I’ve bought it a lot after getting it in my first Marks advent calendar. Just slightly let down that it’s brown but still worth a try

Just had my lashes tinted black so don't think this will work on me but I'll give it a go when the tint starts to wear off. Might be nice for daytime? Worth a try

Another here who has never used brown but will give it a go. I like that brand. I find the mascaras really last and build up well. Nice curvy brush too.

Never worn brown mascara in my life!

I’ve reacted to this brand in the past. I shame as I love the squeezing tube.

Another one here that has never used brown mascara before! But I only use tubing mascaras so I'll be giving it a try, and buying it in black if I like it!

Quite like the brown

Going back to the L'occitane day cream, it smells nice and flowery in the pot but when I've started to rub it on recently it starts smelling almost of pipe tobacco or something! Not entirely pleasant... anyone else get this?

It's quite a nice, dark brown. Am I alone in finding the curled brush quite tricky to use though?

I put it on early on, I really like it, although it does not make my lashes as thick as the Revlon one I am just finishing, I have fine lashes but lots of them and quite long. Its good to have a brown for a change I usually have a hunt for even a brown/black colour, see how it goes in the next few applications.

The mascara does nothing for me. I have sensitive eyes and can’t wear the stuff.

I like this - I wear brown mascara but like @GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal am a bit intimidated by the curvy brush. I always make a mess with a curved brush.

Yesssss! I’ve been trying to work out what the scent is. Thank you.

Wow, this mascara is certainly lengthening and it’s nice to have a change from black! Just a shame that mine seems almost dried up! Anyone else?

I've repurchased Eyeko having 1st tried it from the Advent calendar a few years ago. Not tried brown before so looking forward to that. I usually try to get navy but often end up with black.
Today's value is £10 which brings us to £175. 33.

Smells like Parma violets to me. A bit too artificial smelling for me. I prefer very little scent or a more ‘aromatherapy’ type scent.

I have just looked up what tubing mascara is. I thought it meant it came in a tube.
Every day’s a school day.
It’s nice mascara and fine on me, but doesn’t look much different from my normal eyelashes. I imagine it’s great for people with fair lashes.
