M&S beauty advent calendar opening thread

[TokyoSushi]

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! 🎄

delighted with today, subtle colour though (unless it’s come off already?)

I came on to say the same. Put it on Wednesday evening and it’s only just chipping round the edges today. I used a base coast I already had and two coats of this one. Super impressed.

And looking forward to trying today’s, I do like a stila eyeliner

Thank you. Regarding my post above, I trued a little on me. It’s fine so far and even alone, it enhances my eyes, so I might wear it.

I have just opened the next two days because I’m still ill and unable to go out. It is a cheeky boost for me.

Those of you wearing this, do you put it on upper and lower lids, waterline, or how? I am not up on latest eyeliner trends!

Top lid just a little kick out then mascara on top

no idea if that’s fashionable but v easy

I wear a heavier liner on my top lids (sometimes just the waterline) and this on the bottom. It’s definitely not how the 20 year olds are wearing it but works for me!

I also do this and turn the numbered boxes I have used the other way round

The tip broke off mine as soon as I tried to apply it. Even using the raggedy edge it went on quite smoothly, and I think looked ok.

Love the Stila Eyeliners . Very easy to wear just smudged out and some mascara . Long lasting too.

Insomnia has kicked in so today's was opened at 3am. It's one of my favourites, think there will be quite a few fans.

This hand cream usually appears , my favourite brand and scent so am happy today.

Handcream is very much in the “boring but useful” category for me.

Boring but useful agreed, this is one I have bought before.

I absolutely love hand cream and this is one of my favourites so very happy today !

A good staple today, will keep on my desk!

Agree with the boring but useful! I do love anything almond scented though so will also keep on my desk.

I didn't come on yesterday but I liked the idea of the hair mask, I just need to work out how I will use it as I wash my hair at night usually! Perhaps over Christmas whilst I'm off work I could pop it in at night and will have more time to wash and dry hair in the morning!

I'm still hoping for some skincare!

I’m super happy with hand cream as needed some anyway!

This is a really nice hand cream, happy with today.

When I first looked in the box, I thought it was a tube of toothpaste! Happy with this as I've used several L'Occitane hand creams but not this one.

Unfortunately the shampoo from a few days ago had leaked all over the bottom of mine, so I ended up unboxing it all. There's some good stuff and some, meh stuff that will go to a friend for their raffle collection! Hope you all enjoy unboxing the rest, unless you were unlucky like me.

Really happy with the hand cream. Prefer the metal tube but this is just fine.

Is anyone else waiting for the living proof conditioner? I wish they had had it the following day like last year with WOW. I know it’s coming so want it out of the way 😂

@teacoffeeorpasstheginI’m waiting for the conditioner! I can’t test the shampoo properly by itself - even though it’s not for my hair type, and my hair is really short anyway.

I like the hand cream - possibly a bit boring-but-useful, but it’s a nice brand that’s more expensive than what I’d usually buy.

I’ve tried the eyeliner today, it went on really nicely. I haven’t tried the brand before, so that’s a win for me.

Hand cream feels lovely on and a nice smell - absorbs fast so maybe my hands were desperate!!
