Beauty Advent Calendar 2018

Only wish some of the makeup was universal for all skin colours.

My parents have been giving us the M&S Christmas calendar for around 4 years now, and I’m so incredibly impressed by it I’ve decided to give it a review (admittedly something I never do). The products are something I enjoy all year round, it’s the gift that keeps on giving! The ThisWorks Sleep Spray is amazing and I’m going to buy a bottle of my own now my calendar spray has run out. Another absolute favourite of mine, the ALPHA Gold Rose and Liquid Gold Glycolic Acid. Life changing for my skin! It’s perfect for me the consumer, but ideal for brands wishing to promote their products to people like myself who are dubious about investing in expensive products unless I know they work! I know there’s plenty of high end product calendars around, but I’m chuffed with my Marks and Spencer’s one every year. I hope the quality of them never wavers!

Absolutely fabulous. Full of gorgeous goodies that I can't wait to use.

Such an excellent product, my whole family, both sides, now wait for this calendar every year to make sure we get them in time for each other... An absolute must have with some incredible products in them each year. Keep it going M&S, about the best thing you make each Christmas!

Absolutely loved this beauty box. Was such a treat to open everyday. I really enjoyed the opportunity to try such gorgeous products. Definitely buying next Christmas. Well done M&S!

Bought for me by my partner and it’s confirmed to me that he’s a keeper.. As someone who’s 11 year old daughter knows more about make up and beauty than I will possibly ever know I have been so delighted with having a different product every day, it’s been an eye opener as the products are superb - and have made such a difference to my skin care and make up routine, thank you M&S.

I’ve had one of these advent calendars every year since they launched and I’m a big fan but this year’s was a little disappointing... It just seemed to be very similar items day after day. Obviously not all the same but previous years have had some great primer samples to try and they were sadly lacking this year! Won’t stop be buying again next year but I just think we need some new products as several have been repeated over the years and I love trying new things!

A surprise beauty treat everyday throughout Advent which did not disappoint. Good design and all iconic products.

The advent calendar is made up of 25 boxes with different products in each. I loved the products and the little comment hints on each box. Only point I would improve is write the hint on the opposite side to the number. Some are there and others didn't. You can then turn the box over as you take them out and have all the hints showing by the end. Would buy again. Loved the perfume

I loved everything about this until I got the exact same balance me eye cream in 3 different boxes. I had seen all the hype on tv and in store so I bought one for myself and one for a friend. We both loved it but mine was missing items
