[TokyoSushi]

Roll up, roll up, there doesn't seem to be an M&S thread that we can find yet, so please join in to discuss here!

General rules: please don't disclose what the product is until after 7am on the day that it's due to be opened. No spoilers, if you want to open in a different order then go ahead, but please only discuss the product on or after its specific opening date here!

Happy opening everybody, enjoy!

Been looking for the m&s thread, thank you ☺️

Thank you and see you in the morning!

Thank you Tokyo! Looking forward to joining in the morning.

Am very envious, tried to get my mitts on one - they sold out so fast this year!

Will be vicariously lurking!

If anyone knows where or how I can get one, pls private message me!!

Ooooo wonderful! Looking forward to this 🎁🌲🤶 thanks OP

I never got round to buying one this year before they ran out!

Had one last year and enjoyed opening it each day...will follow this thread, got myself a Rituals one instead

Thanks @TokyoSushi. I was lucky enough to find one in my local store during a shopping trip for DH. I felt I deserved it too after a good couple of hours looking at menswear!

Enjoy your Rituals advent calendar @TurquoiseDress, they look gorgeous this year

Thanks Tokyo. DD has just turned 12 and I have a feeling she might end up nicking half the products this year!

In case anyone is also interested, I've set up an M&S / Sparks 12 Days of Christmas thread in the Christmas topic.

Checking in!

This year I am hoping for: a decent black mascara, a daytime moisturiser and volumising hair products.

This year I do not need any more: red or gold nail varnishes, black eyeliner!

Let’s see how I get on!

They are still available on line

No minimum spend.

Have opened mine. I won’t disclose yet, but I’m very pleased and its a good start to the calendar!

Found the thread - thanks! I have this and the No7 one this year to get me through December.

I don’t usually use this product - will be looking for advice

Is it 7 am to report our thoughts on the gift of the day?

Good start. Will prompt a fight between daughters and I.

A good start!

Yes that's right!

Ooh nice! Good start, small, but nice colour!

Nice start - might wear it today as I’m in the office.

That's lovely. Very happy.

I think this is a lovely colour!

Great lipstick. My favourite lipstick was Clinique one called Sugar Pop which was discontinued. I'm hoping this colour is as good as I've spent a small fortune trying to find the right shade to replace it.

Was very excited to start the calendar.... But not my colour ☹️ this is us the problem with lipstick in calendars. Oh well - on to day 2!

Oooh, I already have this lipstick, been wearing it for years, useful to have a spare for my handbag.
