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! 🎄

Love nuxe oil, I had one in a previous calender but sign of the times, as today's is a tiny bottle in comparison. It lasts for ages though.

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 17/12/2025 09:29

Nuxe oil is gorgeous, I’ve used it ever since discovering it in a previous advent calendar. I use it as a body oil rather than on my face or hair though.

RoseTeaLady · 17/12/2025 09:29

One of my favourites and a blast from the past. Used to pick this up in pharmacies on holiday in France.

Scatterbugg · 17/12/2025 10:30

Another Nuxe fan here. The last few days of advent calendar have been great for me.

Newgirls · 17/12/2025 11:28

is it recommended for face? As a general moisturiser?

shinny · 17/12/2025 11:59

So happy I’ve found the thread even tho I’m very late to the party!

Ive been keen to try this as seen it everywhere so I’m happy with today’s.

StrikeForever · 17/12/2025 12:09

I’m always happy with NUXE oil. There are lots of ways to use it. The best one for me is putting it on my skin, then getting into a warm/hot bath. Skin is gorgeously soft after that.

percypigss · 17/12/2025 12:18

I love this, found it in an advent calendar years ago and it’s great as a body oil.

Body oil mainly for me. Have also used it sparingly on dry ends of my hair. Smells wonderful.

Spink86 · 17/12/2025 16:56

Used the nuxe on my hands and cuticles today as I have been working outside and it definitely helped!

TurquoiseDress · 17/12/2025 23:38

I love the Nuxe oil, have a couple of bottles on the go at home now but this size is perfect for travelling

Tend to use it on my face & neck and sometimes dry skin patches

Very happy with it!

ThePoshUns · 18/12/2025 07:32

Nice but a bit dull, much like M&S itself. I’ve still got half a bottle of this from last year.

TabbieMctatty · 18/12/2025 08:36

Meh to this one for me. It will get used but I'm not excited to use it!

TeamToeBeans · 18/12/2025 08:45

Also meh. I don’t use body lotion. Will pass on to someone.

TheUsualChaos · 18/12/2025 09:03

I'm happy with it, not exciting but it's a nice product. I will probably keep it for my travel bag bits.

jay55 · 18/12/2025 09:57

Am another on the meh, will put in food bank

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 18/12/2025 10:32

It’s a meh from me too, I barely use body lotion. I swear previous years’ calendars were a bit more luxurious?

Food bank is a great idea, I hadn’t thought of that.

evilharpy · 18/12/2025 10:46

I'm quite happy with today's. I use body lotion after every shower so will definitely use it.

greywolfie · 18/12/2025 11:20

I've been using this. It smells a lot better than last year's. Maybe I got a bad batch in 2024? Or they've changed the scent?

suburburban · 18/12/2025 11:45

great for me, I love body lotion and the shower gel was lovely

HolidayHattie · 18/12/2025 11:48

I'm happy with this, to go with the bath/shower gel.

evilharpy · 19/12/2025 07:41

Anyone tried/regular user of today's?

RipePeach · 19/12/2025 08:01

I’ve tried the night cream and it’s lovely. Really excited to try the day cream 😊

hollyblueivy · 19/12/2025 08:02

Ooh this is a handy item for travel rather than taking the usual glass jar style items.
