Beauty advent calendars

[Champagnecharleyismyname]

I really fancy treating myself to one of the beauty advent calendars out of my £2 jar. Did anyone get one last year, any recommendations?

There is no Lancôme one this year

Apparently Latest In Beauty have said they are doing one again this year but no details yet

I got the You magazine one last year and it was fun, but i'm not sure it was worth the money. Did try a few things I wouldn't have otherwise and liked them

No Lancôme one this year? Is that the Selfridges one?

It was virtually identical two years running (yes, I got it twice ). Contained miniature Lancôme cleansers, perfumes, luffly moisturiser pots, mini mascara and lippies, then some odd bits of Kiehl's too

My wash bag has been well-stocked for the past year, anyway.

Definitely a complete rip-off though at something like £80 IIRC? I would have been better off buying a couple of bits at Kiehl's and nabbing a load of their samples.

The Sunday Girl blog today has a list of what's in the Benefit calendar if you like a spoiler/want to know what you'll get for your £50

Just looked on the self ridges website and there is a lancome advent calendar this year. No release date though.

I had a look at the Blog Cecy

Debenhams have some really nice 'kits' at the moment including a Full Size + Small Size of They're Real. (for the price of the full size)

I don't wear lipstick/gloss and I'm not a jewellry wearer so I'd have to consider the Advent nearer the time.

(And I'm a brat and I don't want to wait)

More advent calendar news!

I fancy the Boots one or is it because its the first one out? I like the idea of having different brands .

Ohhhhh I like the look of the Boots one...
I could share it with my DD.
She can have the 'fun' things
I'll have the 'old woman' things
Anything that's not Bunny Friendly can go to the Charity Shop in a little bag

I really want the Boots one and £30 for £65's worth is great... Do you think it'll be online from midnight on the 2nd? How many do they make? I need to get me one

Race you to it.

Here's a link to what is in the Boots one.

The boots one is very tempting!

Oh the boots one looks fab! I'm
Sure
I'll forget about it but I want one!!

Oh there is only one thing I'd be interested in on the Boots one so not for me. Thanks for that link!

The boots link I posted earlier now has photos of the products. I'm not so sure if I want it now... especially as you can get those tiny perfume samples for free. Hmm dunno whether I'll bother now, or will I

Thanks IssacCox. I still like the look of it so I probably will get it for a bit of fun :)

How can they say the boots one is £65 worth of stuff?!

I know Cecy! I've decided not to get it now. And I was so looking forward to it :(

The Ciate advent calendar is now on sale at Selfridges, here

The Boots one works out at £1.25 per gift ( £30 for 24 items)

That's pretty good IMO. I don't know how much the perfumes are worth but the Mavala Nail products are usually £4+ and the Nails Inc full size are £9-£11 (I'm guessing this is a mini, not checked but 'Porchester Sq' is a classic shade).

Then you have the Triple Points offer if you buy the item again?

I bought Lancôme one for my mum last year, Ciate for my sister and the latest in beauty for myself.

Latest in beauty one was my favourite but I like to have a go at new brands so it suited me.

I actually thought they were all lovely and will be buying myself one again this year but haven't decided which yet!

I was looking at last years Latest in beauty one yesterday, it looked good. Any idea when it will be on sale?

Not sure of date for this year but it was the beginning if November last year as far as I recall for the Latest in Beauty one.
