M&S beauty advent calendar unboxing!

[LivingDeadGirlUK]

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

I use eyeliner maybe once a year so this will sit unopened for many many years. I will probably regift it.

Really hoping this calendar picks up.

No idea who to regift this to - even my DD and her friends don’t do black eyeliner!

Think I will use this to line my top lid before eyeshadow so will use, more than the nail polish which I will never use !!

Back to the 80s today. I'd have preferred an eye pencil, I don't line inside my lids anymore.
I used the wow shampoo and conditioner this morning. A little disappointed, first off it had annoying foil seals which are a nightmare to get off without my glasses.
The shampoo is difficult to move around and left my hair knotty. The conditioner was ok but didn't feel too moisturising. Be interesting to see what it's like dried.

I used the shampoo on the day I opened it and was happy with it. It was hair wash day then so couldn't wait for the conditioner but will try them together on my next hair wash.
Happy with the eyeliner and will use it. Love the brand. They had a lip gloss from this brand in an M&S calendar before and I have repurchased it.
I have given both nail varnishes away as I get my nails done so I don't need it.
Let's see what tomorrow brings...

I like a black eyeliner - I've just got the Aldi VB dupe though so this one will have to wait.

The colour wow is great for my hair but irritates my scalp so I have to use it sparingly

Very pleased with this morning! Something I’ve wanted to try doing for ages.

Can't say it's any better than cheaper products. I'll add it to my ever growing collection of travel size products. Not something I would go out and buy again.

Black eyeliner, nope. If it was brown, maybe we'd be talking.

I jinxed myself with the black eye liner comments day! 🤣 I’ve genuinely not used a black eye liner since 2003 and I don’t have any one to pass this on to! Not a good one for me so hoping for something better tomorrow!

Box of doom for me today....

Nope another dud for myself i'm afraid. Like many not used this type of product since the last century.

I'm super excited for this one too!

I always use eyeliner close to my lashline on the top as it makes a huge difference to making my eyes look big and bright, it literally doubles the effect of Mascara, but my VB Kajal tends to slip all over my face. A quick test of this one on the back of my hand and its not going anywhere 🤩 will report back as I love reading other people's reviews and updates x

For those that like today’s, I tried it on the back of my hand and it was very blend able, I’m not sure if that’s good or bad? Seemed it could smudge before it’s set, but once it had set, I used my face wash to try and take it off and it would not budge, so once it sets it’s on there!!! I had to use bioderma micellar to get rid of it!

I may be being stupid but what does it mean by waterline? Inside the eye and not on top?

Yes inside. I just applied it to inside of upper eyelid. I think that's right but quite tricky. It does give good definition. Something I might use on a night out.

Love the black eyeliner! it looks like it wont budge either. I'm sure you can tell by my name I've never stopped using it :D

Pleased with this one!

Finally something decent today!

@BeensOnToost how did you find it?

I similarly have always lined above close to lashes. Tried this under top lashes on waterline today and am really pleased!

It’s stayed all day, didn’t irritate my contacts and had a couple of positive comments in the office (and from my Year 9 class).

I thought it looked a bit more subtle and updated compared to my usual look. It’s a big win for me. 😎

I've started using black eyeshadow instead of eyeliner but if this one is good, I might use it for going out. Otherwise it's another one to pass on or Vinted!

I'm looking forward to trying it!

Another one I am happy to try. It has been a long time since I have used black on the waterline 😀

I'm assuming it's the upper waterline this is for? As in, look up and hold your eyelid back and get it inbetween the lashes? I'm not sure that I'm not petrified to try but I'll give it a go

Something new!!!

I haven’t seen this nail cream before and it’s great timing for me as I will be soaking my acrylics off in NY.

Nice item to try out over Christmas. Never used a nail serum before.
