Beauty advent calendars 2018

[InfinityGauntlet]

Just noticed vogue published their favourite beauty advent calendars for 2018 - with prices and release dates here (don’t look if you want surprises as you can see what are inside some of the calendars.

Is anyone planning on getting one or more this year? Which looks the best?
I know my dd would love the look fantastic one, I can only dream of the diptyque one, or Liberty if they release one again this year [santa]

Well @LaurieFairyCake If it helps you get 24 products! 🤔

Yes, they're mini ones. Would definitely have bought it if the price difference wasn't so much - no idea why they would charge so much more for the same product in UK

It looks fabulous!

I always buy based upon how much you get for your money. There is no point if it's not cost effective.

The John Lewis one is currently £140 online because they've got a beauty promotion running.

Just had my M&S one delivered - now, whether to keep or sell on Ebay when it is out of stock???

Last year my local (huge) branch had piles of the M&S calendar for weeks. They seem to take them off sale everywhere on a certain day. They are very aggressively marketing it this year so I reckon there will be a huge amount of stock.

I think advent calendars are great gifts if you know your recipient. My mum bought me the two I wanted for my birthday. :) Weeks of treats!

The whole point of the M&S one is that it's a bargain at £35. I wouldn't buy it for more than that because it's mostly travel sizes and this year doesn't have the liquid gold AHA.

The M&S calendar goes down to £10 with no minimum spend in stores in December, so pointless trying to flog on ebay. It's not like the No7 calendar (where it sells out within hours), i=there's always loads of stock.

I've never seen it for £10. In my store they remove them on 1st Dec and staff get to buy them for £10, or they go in a sweepstake if there aren't enough. I have a friend who works there.

The MAC one is out of stock again

I went to our local large M&S store last year and there were loads of calendars piled up.... I decided 2 days later that I would quite like one but when I returned to the store there were none left and was told they wouldnt be getting anymore!

Liberty out of stock online
Was going to get one for DS

Does anyone know what time the M&S one goes live on their website for non-sparks card holders? I'm happy to stay up til midnight if it means bagging one epitome of fomo.

Liberty is back in stock online now @chickydoo

According to MSE the M&S advent is available in stores from tomorrow

Glad I found this thread as hadn't noticed emails from sparks as I've been away but have just ordered the calendar and our Christmas pjs. Thanks! Was going to set the alarm for midnight if not!

I've ordered the M&S one. That's it for me this year though I may order another for DM.

I got the m&s one, although setting my alarm for midnight was a pointless exercise as they didn't go live until about 3am! Oh well, at least DM's sorted now.

Got the dds amazon ones last year. They are £50 but last year Black Friday they were £25 each. They loved them. Thinking of doing the same thing this year. Anyone seen if they are any good. All the others are just too expensive.

I ordered the M&S calendar online. Pleased I did as I was worried whennid hsve chance to pick them up and whether they’d sell out. I ordered two and spent two lots of £35+ but had to do it as two separate transactions as it only applied the discount once otherwise (in case anyone else is thinking of doing that).

One is for me and one is for MIL

This one looks good for my mum, just ordered it. £26.66 on Amazon

Thanks for that Noeuf have just ordered 2 of those!

@IPromiseIWontBeNaughty

I have a spare Look Fantastic one if anyone lives nr West London and wants to buy it from me?!
