[LivingDeadGirlUK]

Excited for this year as I didn't get one last year. Shall we say no spoilers before 7am?

Joining! I've just opened my first one but will keep 🤐 for now.

I opened mine at 6 this morning!

I think ok to post contents after 7?

A good start !

I can't find mine on the app and had heard they weren't doing it this year?!

I can't find it either on the app 😩

Very happy with day one

Ignore me, just realised this is the beauty advent calendar and not the advent calendar on the app

I wasn't got to get one this year but I changed my mind at the last minute! I'm happy with today, love anything vanilla.

Oh sorry, I didn't see the 9am rule. Apologies!

Sorry I also didn’t read the op correctly. 0900 sounds good.

I think 7am is a good time that way people can give their views before starting work?

9am is a bit late!!! Agree 7am better.

Anyway, great start for me. I love a gourmand perfume. I will take it on holiday.

Morning all, M&S was the only one I bought this year. So may I join?

I really like the velvet case its all in and was very surprised (given the cost) how nice it all laid out inside.

its gone 9 now, so I can say this item will be passed on, way too sweet for me.

@Bitchillywillytoday I have young nieces with indiscriminate taste, so can always pass stuff on. However, if there’s anything you feel stuck with, we usually do a “swap” event near the end of December.

I like this one! The lemony one last year has become a bathroom spray, I'm afraid!
Love the velvet box. Might keep this one.
7am is fine! Just don't open the thread till gone 9 if you prefer!

Another vote for 7am please. A pre-work quick compare of notes feels like a Dec tradition now which 9am wouldn't allow.

Pleased with the perfume, good start!

I haven't used the perfumes from the previous 2 years yet but will make an effort. I still have so much left over, I just really like having something exciting to open every morning. It brightens up the dark mornings

Happy to go with 7am ladies!

My issue is they often just don't last long, hope this one does!

Hello! Just M&S for me this year, plus a Tony Chocolonely. I've been on the beauty advents since the very early days - No7 was my first around 15 years ago. Anyway, I'm delighted with it. I love the compact nature of it and will definitely reuse the velvet case. The perfume is light and sweet and if I don't use it DD will. A great start!

I don't like vanilla scents but it seems to be all DD wears judging by the over powering sweet smell when ever she appears 😂

I am ridiculously excited to open a little box every day leading up to 25 th. Love today’s box, I’m determined to make use of each item on the day I open them. Will see if that happens!
This is the first year I’ve had anything like this so I’m super excited.

Strong start! Very happy as a massive fan of vanilla fragrances and this one is lovely... light but with a bit of complexity.

It's the mosssssst wonderful timmmmmmmmme of the year! 😃

Happy with this scent. It's not the best we've had in M&S calendar, but it's earned a place in my handbag.

Also, love the case. A big upgrade on last year's PVC offering.
