As mentioned by someone elsewhere, M&S are not doing their famous beauty advent calendar this year but are going to offer a box of 10 items (worth over £120) at the end of October. No contents announced yet, or price, just this:

“This year we didn’t want to wait until December to give you a beauty treat. Instead of the beauty advent calendar we bring you The Beauty Edit – an incredible line-up of 10 beauty buys curated by our in-house experts. It launches on 27 October and is the perfect gift (or present to yourself) for a little pre-Christmas pampering.”

Ah, I wouldn’t have thought to google generally, especially as it‘s early. Thanks again.

Will you buy it? Despite being disappointed there’s no proper advent calendar, I‘m not sure I will get this. If I’m buying something anyway that qualifies me, I may consider it.
 
Luckily I don’t want any of that so my moneys safe. 😃 Well I had already decided against the advent calendar so it would have been safe anyway!

I am tempted, but have to apply Nanny Mcfee as I have far too much stuff.
 
Yeah, just had another look and, like you and Mazza, I either don’t need or am not tempted by most things. I would like/use the Leighton Denny Nail Repair Cream which looks like Renovate re-named, and I have run out, but everything else would just be added to my extensive stash.

Oh dear I clicked from that link to look at the Penhaligon's advent calender! £375 is just a tad more than I wanted to pay! 🤯

I love Nuxe dry oil, a little tip I picked up on using this, add 2 drops of the Nuxe oil to your moisturiser mix them together before applying to your face...honestly it not only smells devine but makes my skin feel so soft. I have very sensitive skin and I haven't had any issues using the oil, it does not make my skin greasy either.
I do like the look of this box but I have enough products to open my own shop:rolleyes:
 
Didn’t realise I’d done an earlier ml for ml & should really be painting the kitchen. So revised ml for ml as they state the Prai is a bonus & I was a tad out originally in some calcs, sorry.

  • or
  • 1 x 15ml Prai 24K Gold Wrinkle Repair Serum (Full Size Product: T238745F) £38 for 50ml so Worth approx £11.40

Total without Prai is approx £103.17 in my opinion, so if you get the 30ml Prai it will be worth approx £124.17 & if the serum then approx £114.57. Worked ml for ml out based on the £103.17 as they state the Prai is a bonus gift.

Cost £20 with £30 purchase.
 
I just studied the contents again. Three hair products I probably wouldn’t use (have plenty already), as well as two make-up items I definitely don’t need so that’s half the items. I like the sound of the oil and Maid in Devon’s tip, and would appreciate the Renovate nail kit, but I think I‘ll hang on to my £20 this time.
 
Thankfully I don’t want this. I say thankfully because I did an M&S order last week which I filled up with bits to get the free postage! So if this had been fabulous I would have been fed up.
