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! 🎄

I’ve found you all! I didn’t think about the boxes so recycled them - will keep from now on

v happy with the Bath / shower oil as will use that straightaway.

not sure the perfume suits me tho happy to try again

Doesn't it leave an oily scum on top of the bath? I think I will leave it until I have a shower and stick to bubble bath until then.

@HolidayHattie no I don’t think so, it was fine.

how do you use a shower oil ? Does it lather? Or is it just oiling yourself up whilst showering? Doesn’t it run off with the water….

Just joining in.
Have been underwhelmed with this calendar the last few years and did not buy it. This years looked much better and I love the packaging.
Have forgotten the contents but very happy with Mondays perfume and todays body oil.

I apply it to dry skin before washing off in shower. I have used this before and don’t love the smell, but have found it to be very effective at keeping my skin soft.

Do you use it as well as shower gel, or instead of?

Usually instead of.

I had this in their beauty box - I never have baths so I checked the ingredients and you can also just use it as a dry oil on wet skin. (A la sanctuary skin oil or weleda skin food). Added bonus it will make you sleep better!

I don’t normally shower in the evening but did today so thought I’d give it a whirl. It’s got a strange smell, I liked it but it reminded me of food … maybe smoked cheese 😂 quite like cheese so I didn’t mind 😂

lovely soft legs though, and I’m hoping I sleep well

This is a great option. Thank you!

Hello! I am following this thread and eagerly awaiting day 3

I do really like the perfume from day 1, wore it to work yesterday

really like today’s offering

Today’s is a bit “meh” for me. Nice colour but I have a few already the same and I don’t use them. Will give this one to my daughter!

I really like this - wearing the sparkly version of this colour rn. They go on really easily and don’t chip, even though I’m a klutz.

Not a fan of the colour today, but at least it’s not red!

Always happy with a nail varnish, love the colour.

Oh quite handy, I’ve been looking for this colour for my toes! (Yoga)

I love this (and yes, a nice change from red). Would have gone with my outfit today but no time to paint before work!

Pleased with the nail varnish.

I love the colour. Wasn’t so pleased with the shower oil which I used before bed last night. Just found it a bit strange really. Wasn’t sure when to use shower gel as it says to apply the oil to dry skin then get in the shower but then it felt like I would wash it off if I used shower. Also the smell was a bit weird.

I love today’s gift, and agree it’s nice that it’s not red.

I’m also wearing day 1’s perfume again today. I wouldn’t describe it as floral, as I’d usually avoid florals, but I really like it.

I’m not sure about this colour - wouldn’t usually wear anything so dark! Will try it on my toes and if not pass on to my DD!

Love this colour … so pleased it’s not red!

have a clear sparkly varnish that I think would look lovely over the top too.

Not for me this one, will have to find someone to pass it on to.
