Thanks for the new thread @virgocatlover

Remind me again, which have you gone for?

My Space NK says that it will be dispatched on September 20th (yay)

I haven't ordered any yet! But I think I will go for JL which is out early October. I could be tempted by others if we have some discounts....

Thanks for the new thread 😊

Just had an email saying my Space NK has been dispatched!

Thanks for the new thread.

Thanks for the new thread. 🙂
I have gone for the Harrods one which DH has ordered for my birthday. I am going to try to be strong and not get any others but could be easily tempted by a good discount or gwp.

Thanks for the new thread.

I’ve been looking at John Lewis again and I think I’d use pretty much everything in there (other than the Nars blusher). I’ve also got a load of JL vouchers from cash back on their credit card that I could use.

Hello everyone, I am thinking H&B now but haven't committed! love this thread

Yes I think it's the best for me personally, but I'm hoping there will be a discount for rewards members.

Yes. I've decided to buy them all!

Checking in on the new thread and still looking at SpaceNK.

I have gone with 3; Harrods, Liberty and Look Fantastic.
Its the first year I have bought beauty calendars so looking forward to trying the various products.
I may buy one more, possibly Sephora or OK Beauty Box as have ruled out M&S, Glossybox and Boots as the majority of my make up also needs to be replaced. Not that interested in haircare and more perfumes…decisions decisions

I like your way of thinking @IDontHateRainbows

I have Liberty, Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate (not beauty of course but it's a calendar) and maybe the 4th order of the Harrods fragrance calendar will actually ship……

I've ordered the Boots premium one. Very tempted by the Benefit one. Written off Liberty.

Thanks @virgocatlover
I’ve bought Harrods fragrance.
Harrods beauty.
Space NK.
Really like the look of Jo Malone as it has orange bitters, plus lots of other lovely fragrance products.

Just watched the Cult Beauty Scent with Love unboxing..would really like to try the pistachio perfume!

I should refrain from buying any, but it’s just not happening 😀

Harrods Fragrance, Harrods Beauty and Space NK

I'm still eyeing Fortnum's and Stylevana 😬

Although to be fair, I've bought very little beauty wise this year. Some foot cream, a shampoo and conditioner, a couple of makeup items that needed replacing, and the M&S summer beauty bag. That's it for the whole year. I've somehow managed to survive without buying a single gwp, Liberty or cult beauty edit, so I'm ready for my beauty fix!

I’ve already got H&B and want to get the JL one as well but want to get it on a discount as others have said it’s not worth the full price and I don’t want to feel ripped off! I also have JL vouchers so that helps.

I feel happy knowing I have H&B though!

I usually love all things Space NK but I wasn’t feeling their AC and as this is my first beauty calendar I wanted to really want it! Maybe next year…

@SoloCat I’ve got the Kayali pistachio perfume. It’s lovely, my current favourite summer evening perfume. It’s gourmand, but in quite a light, fresh way.

Thanks for the new thread @virgocatlover.

I went for Liberty as I had £259 in credit and I did join the Beauty Drop to save for the AC last year but didn’t get it. Figured I’d always regret never getting a Liberty one at least once so went for it.

i have so much stuff I shouldn’t have really! And I’m definitely not getting another one!

still loving all the chat though!

Anyone know when the No 7 Ultimate Beauty calendar is being released?

2nd October but if you sign up to the waitlist you will get a link on the 1st

Thanks for the new thread.

Question for those who were unimpressed with SpaceNK day 25...if you've had a peek already would you not swap a couple of items around to make Christmas day better?

I've had the email confirming mine is on its way so hopefully tomorrow I'll know what item you're discussing!

Thanks for the new thread @virgocatlover . I haven't bought anything yet but am considering Vogue.

For those of you waiting for Fenwicks, I had the circus one 2 years ago. I think a few others on here may have got it to as it was really reduced and IIRC ended up being about £100. I quite liked it as there were several brands I had never had before and a 10ml Frederic Malle that was worth £60 so made up most of the value. And the box was gorgeous. But lots of the bits were quite small, so I don't think the value would have been there if you paid full price.

Jo Loves has a nice looking one, but it’s getting on for £400!

I've got my Liberty with my beauty drop credit, last year's Penhaligon's, my Flannels cracker, and my Harrod's fragrance. I wish I hadn't seen the link to the Escentual discount on the l'Occitaine calendar - I'm sitting on my hands trying not to buy it. 😆😆😆
