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! 🎄

No2 not really my thing. Will likely regift.

Actually without the big top on it is ideal travel size so will keep for that purpose

I’m very happy with today’s item and am keen to try it. It’s a good size too.

Nice! I’ve been wanting some of this.

I’m pleased with today’s, had it before and it’s lovely and moisturising in the bath.

I am not that excited about today's (does it leave the bath all oily afterwards?) but am going to try it I guess.

I like today's, but I was a big fan of last year's leg spray too 😁

Happy with this one, shower oil is a luxury for me!

I'm happy with today's offering, will use it in the bath in the next couple of days. Wearing yesterdays perfume today and I really like the scent. So 2/2 for me so far!

I like the look of this but I'm a morning shower person rather than a before bed shower person. I am going to a gig tonight though so may well shower before bed this once at least.

I didn't open the outer box until yesterday. First impressions are pretty poor, last year's bag felt more like a treat over this year's cardboard effort. There's a brand available in supermarkets that does it better, for heaven's sake. I also didn't like having to unpack the boxes to find Day 2, annoying.

So far, bit of a damp squib for me, I'm afraid. I'm getting more joy out of watching a Small Person wrangle a Lego calendar.

Ooh luxury shower oil. Smells nice too. Look forward to using it.

Happy with my first 2 days, Am passing the perfume onto my secret santa as a little extra and the have kept the oil me!

I do still have last years bag but tbh a nice looking box that can either be used for trinkets or recycled is fine with me. I've got so many bags/tins from things I expect a lot of this stuff ends up in landfil.

I have very dry skin, so use bath and shower oil with every bath and shower. I haven’t tried this one before. It’s good to try a new brand of a product that is already used. So I’m happy.

I like this one! I never have baths so will use in the shower before bed.

I am loving having a little treat to open each day!

I'm away for the next few days. Do I open before I go tomorrow morning, or when I get back on Saturday night?

Happy with this. Am giving it to my daughter, who loves a bath. I’m a morning shower person.

I’m away over Christmas so will use this one in the hotel bath and have a nice relax.

@evilharpy I’d open before you go if it’s for a holiday so that you can take your goodies with you to to use whilst you’re away.

Last year was my first M&S advent calendar, and there was quite a lot in it that I won’t use, so I almost didn’t get this year’s. But the FOMO won, and I got it.

I had my doubts about box 1, but on testing it, it is nice, so I’m pleased. Today’s was a bit of a disappointment for me, will probably re-gift it.

I did get today’s gift out last night and put it by my bed ready for opening this morning with a cup of tea in bed. It was a nice treat when I woke up 🙂

I didn't take much convincing - days 3, 4 and 5 have been opened. One item (day 4) is something I will bring, and day 3 is something I really like and have plans to use for a particular occasion.

Comedy moment with item number 2, I tried it in the shower this morning and then could barely turn the water on because my hands were so slippery - rookie error!!!! Smells nice though 😂

I am loving having a little treat to look forward to every day. There’s always so much thinking about everyone else at this time of year, it’s nice to have a little moment to yourself every day.

Take the little box with you
