Looking forward to trying this one!

Neversaygoodbye · 07/12/2022 07:23

I'm a little put off my the strong fragrance of todays but will still try it.

pharmachameleon · 07/12/2022 07:41

The reviews on this are really good. Looking forward to trying this under make up for a hopefully dewy look. Smells v strong though. I usually use fragrance free products on my face.

I've tried this perfume before and it sadly makes me sneeze - one for my "swap list"!

I love it so would love to swap if we find smithing that you prefer and I don’t further down the line!!

It says for short fine hair. That's me out. I have long thick hair.

I have very think and difficult to organise hair and this shampoo has made it very curly at the ends.
not sure if that’s good or not but I’ll carry on with it I think -)))

Really pleased with todays offering and am looking forward to trying it. I'm hoping for a night cream too at some point because I've just finished mine.

TheBelmont · 07/12/2022 08:01

Tried todays…it does feel quite powdery putting it on which felt a bit odd but my make up is sitting nicely on it and I love the smell. So a thumbs up from me! Unsure if it would entice me to buy a full size…need a few more tries I think.

I find it a bit strong too but I have tried it this morning. The smell wears off quickly.

TokyoSushi · 07/12/2022 08:07

Ooh I love the smell of this mornings! Perhaps smells a bit strong for my face though so have chucked a bit on my neck and jaw area!

Neversaygoodbye · 07/12/2022 08:17

@ApolloandDaphne good to know. I will try it tomorrow as I forgot today, lol.

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 07/12/2022 09:01

I quite like the smell.

grosvenorgirl · 07/12/2022 09:15

I'm not sure I'll use this morning's so I'm putting it in my swappable pile. If it doesn't do much, what's the point, and if it does, then buying a full-size one could be a very expensive habit. Grin

RoxieLoxy · 07/12/2022 14:21

I just used today's under my eyes before concealer (didn't read the packet and thought it was an eye cream!!). Anyway I'm very impressed - convinced my fine lines look less obvious. Concealer went over it well too and a couple of hours later still feels moisturised (without any shine).

I'd recommend using it in that way if you want it to last longer.

I love the perfume from the other day too and my hair looked amazing after the shampoo and conditioner. I've never had an M&S calender before but I'm so happy with it all so far.

Inasec24 · 07/12/2022 14:32

Just found this thread! Loving it all so far and especially the fragrance, eye cream and that anti-wrinkle matt cream stuff too. Have been using the shampoo but not noticed much difference to my hair.

LizzieSiddal · 07/12/2022 22:37

I’m not sure what todays is meant for, I’ll have to Google.

GetUsedToTheHeatAgain · 08/12/2022 01:48

Ha Ha ha!

Me too never heard of this brand before, but reviews looks promising

Countmeout · 08/12/2022 07:15

I like this brand. Have had it before in previous year and loved it , although a different product, this one will get used.

TheBelmont · 08/12/2022 07:26

This is why I love this advent calendar…it’s the chance to try new things I’d probably never buy full size/full price…I usually end up buying one or two full sizes at the end. It must be a dream for the beauty product manufacturers…very clever. I will certainly give todays offering a go! Looks interesting!

HeySeamus · 08/12/2022 07:47

Morning all Wink I'm very happy with todays product. I'm completely out of night cream and will be starting this one tonight.

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 08/12/2022 08:09

I can't really get excited about night cream, but I will use this.

HollyHocks13 · 08/12/2022 08:15

I'm happy with today's night cream and looking forward to trying it tonight.
I must say that this year's calendar has been excellent. There's not one thing that I haven't been pleased with unlike other years when there have been a few disappointments. I really hope it stays this way and that they haven't put all the good stuff in for the first days and then we get lots of tat for the rest of the month!

PacificFish · 08/12/2022 08:18

I’m now getting a bit overwhelmed with how o use the stuff.
I don’t wear make up.
can you suggest to me a routine for my face.
I think I have open pores and i definitely have aging skin
i also have very dark rings and eye bags

thanks!!

RoxieLoxy · 08/12/2022 11:30

@HollyHocks13 I agree, I'm so pleased with everything. Today's gets really good reviews too and I needed a night cream. And doesn't look too pricey to buy a full one if we like it (compared to some night creams).

Neversaygoodbye · 08/12/2022 11:59

I really like this brand and will enjoy this night cream.
