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]

I might get the M&S one

QOD · 23/10/2018 21:43

I managed to get 2 Boots No 7 calendars for me and dd
I just was online at 6am on the pre order day and it went Dolally. Have a pending payment to Boots from PayPal which I’ve emailed them about
I had to re order as a guest later in the day and then Tried again the next day as it still didn’t show in my Boots account.
Got another but the payment is still pending

I got the Essie one last year in the sale for £8 the colours were mainly red based which isn't really me so I'm glad I only paid £8 for it

AliceRR · 23/10/2018 21:51

@mrscee where did you get that?

mrscee · 23/10/2018 22:22

@AliceRR it on the Superdrug website it was at the end of December. I got lucky and saw it for £8 ordered it and then about 10mins later they'd sold out! It was worth it considering 1 Essie nail polish is £8

SwizzelsFizzers · 23/10/2018 22:39

Liberty is out tomorrow.

Electrascoffee · 23/10/2018 22:47

Liberty is out at midnight! Online that is. Is anyone buying it?

HLBug · 23/10/2018 22:55

Me!! Must stay awake until midnight...and hope the website doesn't crash a la boots Confused

Electrascoffee · 23/10/2018 23:31

Lol! I've never bought the Liberty one - it's apparently a lot of high end skin products - would you recommend it?

For make up lovers did you know that MAC is doing one this year?

SwizzelsFizzers · 23/10/2018 23:39

i bought liberty last year, gone for fortnums this year. i got the liberty gift bag in september which was great but had similar products to the advent. I may wobble later

bellabelly · 23/10/2018 23:41

Ooooh, I was definitely going to buy the Liberty one tonight - I loved it last year. But the price has gone up to £195 (plus about £5 postage)... Gah! What to do????

bellabelly · 23/10/2018 23:56

Oh fuck it, just ordered mine. Grin Can't wait until 1 Dec!

chickydoo · 24/10/2018 00:03

Shit! Couldn't resist....ordered the Liberty.
I am very low on 'products' so now I can top up with some goodies
Guilt setting in.

Liberty is worth over £600 apparently!

Shantotto · 24/10/2018 06:57

Can someone remind me how m&s works? I really want a beauty advent calendar for the first time! Is it £35 but you have to spend £50 in store? I dont think I can afford it as I really don’t need £59 worth of other tat from m and s!

LaurieFairyCake · 24/10/2018 07:39

I also got the liberty beauty bag last month and it had loads of great products in it. I split it with my friend.

I can't justify buying it!

I also liked the look of the John Lewis and fortnum ones.

SymphonyofShadows · 24/10/2018 07:56

Shantotto it's £35 with a £35 spend on clothes, beauty or home. I think that if you buy something and ask for a gift receipt then you can return it on the receipt and keep the AC. I have never done it though as I always buy my DM's gift at the same time.

the bag was better than last years advent calendar and free. My DH buys a certain kind of deodorant/shaving foam- lets just say that he has a years supply and I have 2 liberty gift bags.

My Glossybox calendar is huge and really heavy. Hope it's worth it

BewareOfDragons · 24/10/2018 19:01

The Cowshed Advent Calendar looks really lovely if you like their products. I'm resisting because I've bought a couple of others, but it's on the Boden site ... it's possible the current 25% off across the site might work on it as well...? Might be worth a try if someone is considering that one...

AliceRR · 24/10/2018 19:40

@SymphonyofShadows I’ve watched a glosybox unboxing and it looks good!

LaurieFairyCake · 24/10/2018 21:35

It is unfortunately not giving 25% off the cowshed calendar on the Boden site.

It's pretty much the only one I fancy this year - apart from a tea and chocolate one I've already bought

After all I decided to get the Liberty calendar. My skin is so dehydrated right now and it needs some help!! I hope it lives up to the hype. I had a message saying it will be delivered tomorrow.
