Is available on Thursday in store and online apparently.

Just checking in. Haven’t had one for a few years now but treated myself this year. Just opened first box. Very happy.

[PomRuns]

Morning ! I’m very happy with the 1st box too. Great start m&s.

[Talisin]

Like day 1! A product I really like but never buy as it’s pricey. A decent size as well - excellent start.

[EachandEveryone]

Yes I’m looking forward to trying it out later

[Nuffaluff]

I like this. I’m going to try it this morning to cheer me up on this dark, damp morning before I go to work.

[SerendipitySunshine]

This is very exciting. Glad I bought one this year.

[Luvacuppatea]

Have never used this before, so looking forward to giving it a go. Lovely size too 😊

Morning all! My youngest two dd's were up at 5.45 this morning to check if the bloody elf had arrived. Thankfully I had the excitement of my calendar to ease the pain
Pleased with this morning's treat. I've used this before and it's fab.

[Redact]

Morning, happy with todays offering, will definitely use it. Been buying the M&S calendar for a few years but didn't last year and wasn't going to bother this year but glad I did. Something to look forward to on these dark, cold mornings.

DD and I needed a boost yesterday night, so we both dived into the whole thing 😆 Very naughty, but that’s what I got it for.
Shared out the goodies between us so I can use the tin for something else and are very impressed.

[DrRamsesEmerson]

I like the Emma Hardie balm, happy with today's!

[sluj]

Good start. We got a tiny pot of this in the M and S calendar a couple of years ago but this is much bigger. Feels very light though ??

[Plantsandpuddlesuits]

This is exciting! Feels lovely to have a few moments just for me in opening it before the day starts!

Not heard of this brand before and my current one I use (neals yard) is about to run out so looking forward to trying it this evening!

[Orcadianrythyms]

I'm a convert to cleansing balm after using the Elemis one, so I'm looking forward to trying this.

[MrsWidgerysLodger]

Happy with this. I usually use the body shop chamomile one so this will be a nice luxury swap for me :)

[RampantIvy]

How good is this for removing make up and, more specifically, mascara?

[HeySeamus]

@RampantIvy it's very good at removing makeup, feels luxurious and smells divine BUT the Clinique balm is better IMO so whilst I'll happily use the EH balm, I alway end up repurchasing Clinique (which doesn't smell of anything but is the best at removing tubing mascara).

[RampantIvy]

Thank you

[gingerbubs]

I'm also happy with today's treat! For those who have used this before - would you just use this to cleanse including taking of make up? Or more as a second cleanse (for any double cleansers - I keep meaning to get back to double cleansing). And if second cleanse, what do you use first?

[NumaNumaYay]

Oh this is a nice one!

I use this as a first cleanse to get rid of makeup etc then go and do a second cleanse with a facewash (currently using an Aldi jelly cleanser)

[Anjelika]

Happy with today's. I use the M&S Pure one which I really like but this one will be good for weekends away.

[FreshFaceTime]

Ooooooh I bought the Aldi dupe a while back so am delighted that I now have the real thing to compare it to!

[Countmeout]

The size was a nice surprise, it was always 15ml before. I repurchased it after initially getting it in the calendar a few years ago. I use it as a cleansing treat not every night. I believe you can leave it on overnight as a mask (happy to be corrected but I think I read that somewhere)

[OchonAgusOchonOh]

Most eye make up removers cause a rash on me. The eve lom and Elemis ones I got last year were brilliant - not do much as a tingle. Although I've tried the lumene one and reacted to that. Hopefully this one will be fine. I'm looking forward to trying it
