Back to M&S after a couple of years off for me this year, I don’t think that we have a thread already?

Usual rules apply, no spoilers before 7am, looking forward to tomorrow! 🎄

I do like this brand but think my daughter may like it more!!

Newgirls · 07/12/2025 12:37

Never used a hair mask before - will it work for 20 min the day rather than overnight? Will try

does anyone know we are due face moisturiser before I go out and buy some!

suburburban · 07/12/2025 13:00

Very pleased with hair mask and shower gel.

most of the stuff has been good so far

StrikeForever · 07/12/2025 13:07

The hair mask isn’t something I would have considered buying. I will try it on the bottom few inches of my hair. It’s post menopausal hair, so has that porous look at the ends.

Hapagirl48 · 07/12/2025 14:37

I shower and wash my hair at night so I’ll use @TokyoSushi ‘s suggestion of using it during the day. One day when I’m WFH and no Zoom meetings.

LaMarschallin · 07/12/2025 15:36

I've got mine on as I type.
Impressed that it dries really well so I'm not worried about wiping it on the furniture.
DH even commented on the nice smell 😊

olivietolivie · 07/12/2025 16:40

I’ve also put mine in and I’m impressed with the quick drying. Can’t wait to see how my hair feels when I have washed it tomorrow.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 07/12/2025 18:46

I can't wait to try the conditioner tonight as well :)

RipePeach · 08/12/2025 07:21

I’m very happy with today’s! I love these eyeliners and this is my colour. My favourite box yet!

olivietolivie · 08/12/2025 07:31

I’ve washed my hair this morning and it is SO SOFT!!

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 08/12/2025 07:44

Yes, I’m happy with this. Stila eyeliners are great and I tend to wear brown or copper rather than black.

sciaticafanatica · 08/12/2025 08:13

Pleased with today’s item, although it took some finding to get box 8 😀

ThePoshUns · 08/12/2025 08:20

I’m happy with today’s, I haven’t used this brand before, great colour. Will try it later.

teacoffeeorpassthegin · 08/12/2025 08:40

I’m happy too. As I may be getting a little older I’m finding brown is softer and works well on my skin

AMiddleClassWomanOfACertainAge · 08/12/2025 08:47

This is a goodie today, I like this brand.

Re finding boxes, I’ve started putting the empty ones on the bottom layer where possible so the unopened ones are easier to find.

TokyoSushi · 08/12/2025 09:22

I have the eyeliner on, I'm not sure it's my colour, but it goes on really nicely!

Good idea. I was rummaging for ages this morning!

ThePoshUns · 08/12/2025 09:28

Back to the varnish, I put it on Friday and is just chipping on the tips. I’ll put another coat on, still lasts longer than some other brands.

SmashingGemini · 08/12/2025 11:03

Lovely eyeliner, I’ve got it on and am pleased with the colour

cheesychipsontheoche · 08/12/2025 11:45

My hair is super soft this morning, loving the hair mask

StrikeForever · 08/12/2025 11:50

The eyeliner looks lovely. Sadly, I have very sensitive eyes, so don’t wear eye make-up

TeamToeBeans · 08/12/2025 12:29

I’m looking forward to trying this eyeliner. I am finding black too harsh these days, so I’ll be pleased if this colour looks good on.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 08/12/2025 12:50

Disappointing day today, I love this brand of eyeliner but as a brown person with dark lashes it barely shows up on me, had some lovely berry and charcoal ones in the past.

Snackpocket · 08/12/2025 13:24

I don’t really wear eyeliner but might give this one a try at the weekend!

Newgirls · 08/12/2025 14:22

Love this. Very flattering for day time wear.

for those with sensitive eyes this is a good brand so might be worth gentle go
