[LivingDeadGirlUK]

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

Very festive colour but I'm rubbish at applying nail varnish, I'll see if DH will do it.

Nearly the same shade as last year!

I'm happy! One year they went all bit off piste with the colour but you can't beat a classic red.

Like this a lot. I usually have shellac finger nails but like a nice red for my toes

Lovely colour, I have my nails done with BIAB but always paint my toes myself, happy with both days so far

Thanks @ThePoshUns !

Just a little tip - I kept last years M&S calendar bag and boxes and refilled it for my DD this year, using items I know she’ll like. I mixed it up with beauty, make up and sweet treats, buying a few things and using some items I had left over from previous advent calendars or Clinique / Clarins promotions etc
She has a December birthday so it’s part of her birthday gift.

A definite DOD for me today....I personally can't stand red nail varnish but my DD can have it (although I'm pretty sure she's still got the one I gave her from last year's calendar 😂)

Glad to see that other people on here are pleased with todays! 😊

Really happy with todays NV, I like the colour (if a little pink in tone) but Nails Inc as a polish I like and stays on well.

@Ssmiler , I was just thinking the little boxes look sturdy enough to reuse.

I'm happy with todays red nail polish too. I rarely paint my nails but have an event coming up which it will be nice for.

I looked at it and thought it was the same shade, I’ve not used the one from last year I don’t think.

Am excited to open tomorrow though!

Same here!
It's a lovely shade - will definitely use on my toes this Xmas.

I'm pleased with the nail varnish colour - we have a long weekend in a sunny place coming up before Christmas and I'll do my toe nails with this as I expect them to see some daylight - it's been a good while since they were last out of socks or tights!

Red nail varnish.... its OK... I hope it's the only nail varnish in the set and glad to get it out of way early.

I liked yesterday's perfume which I tried this morning. I wouldn't of bought it and was pleasantly surprised.

Oh, great to find you all. I missed out on the calendar last year so am excited for this year. I loved the perfume - I usually don’t like vanilla, but this smells lovely on me!! I put it on again today. I was going to ask DH to buy me some new Jo Malone for Christmas but I might get something else now.

I love the nail polish - DD said - oh that’s your favourite colour ! I usually paint my toenails pinky red for the summer.

DD got the Look Fantastic calendar and it has been fab so far. She has no far not needed to pass anything on to me!!!

But the MandS velvet box is better than her cardboard one.

Still got plenty of red nail polish from calendars of old but DD has claimed this one so all good

Day 2 - Nails INC nail polish in Cranberry me Merry. I can't see this for sale on its own on the M&S website but is most likely worth around £6.

I was very pleased with the perfume yesterday. Lovely smell and quite long lasting on me.

i also liked the nail polish today. It is a pretty shade of red.

Can I still join in if I opened the whole calendar back in November?😬

Well not a fan of todays offering, its a faff (to me) to use and this is the 3rd one I have and find it makes no difference.

Anyone else used it?

I really like it! It works for my hair so I am happy

Late joining but:
Love the perfume and handy as on going on a flight in a couple weeks and needed a little one for my liquids bag.
Red polish - always handy. From memory last years had a metallic cheer which I don't like so much. This just looks to be a solid red.

Hair thing - I'll give it a go.

Happy with today, happy to try new hair products although weird to put in before shampooing

Not sure I want to spend 10-20 minutes stood waiting for the hair pack to work

Happy with today’s! I have tried so many leave in treatments and always come back to this. I find that leaving it in for longer than 20 mins makes my hair fluffy? 20 mins for me is optimum, better if I wrap my hair in cling film and put a hot towel on my head for duration of the treatment (I have straight, just below the bra strap length, natural blonde hair that is fine but a lot of it, if that’s helpful to anyone)
