*Now with spoilers* Beauty Advent Calendars: 2019 Edit.

Bonus, Annabella!

Squeak has the HP lipstick from last year. It’s quite fun.

I was more or less decided against one this year. Now I’ve looked at the M&S contents I’m tempted - it’s all stuff I will use bar I think three items and o do like having a stash of mini things to use over the year.

I'm not getting a beauty advent calendar this year, my skin is all to shit and I won't use enough to make it worth while (unless I find one that's 23 clay masks and one moisturiser).

I've ordered a Virgin Wines calendar, which may explain my skin problems.

Ooh has N seen the HP Lego advent calendar? I’ve got that for G.

I want a jam one

[Turtle Bean]

I've never had one before but the M&S one, I think I would use all of it and it is definitely a year's worth of skin care.

[viggy]

Does anyone know when the M&S calendar goes on special offer? Or is it already? Its showing as £300 on the website.

I'm not getting one but will enjoy watching others open theirs. Emma, if you get a jam one, please share the opening with us.

I've seen some crazy ones here - herbal teas, essential oils and today, nuts ( naked and chocolate coated).

[Pippedydeadeye]

M&S will be early Nov, I reckon.

The Feel Unique one is available but doesn’t look that different to M&S.

[Edith Bacon]

I would definitely eat a nut one! I’ve got J a pork crackling one.

My Liberty one has arrived

[absley]

How exciting, Edith!

It says Halloween on the website. https://www.marksandspencer.com/c/beaut ... t-calendar

[Turtle Bean]

It says it's worth over £300.

[viggy]

Thanks, I always struggle with their website.

[Mountain Goat]

I feel like I have enough samples of skincare and make up to last me forever so I really fancy the Jo Loves one that is all candles and perfume and hand cream (all things I'm short of and would love) but it's £300! I would consider a 12 day version of that if they had one but that's a bit obscene. But so nice. But obscene.

[Ella77]

But on the other hand, this time next year we’ll all be eating polystyrene anyway, so you might as well.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I would die for the Jo Loves one. I’m going to count my shutter fund jar now.

[emma_p]

Pip, no! Keep focused on the shutters. No one needs that much hand cream!

[Turtle Bean]

This is a good point. I'm definitely getting the M&S one.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I’m a long way off Jo Loves money, and even further off shutters.

The year I had the Bonne Maman jam calendar was a highlight of my life.
