Beauty Advent Calendars - yay or nay?

[IPokeBadgers]

Just that really.....I have had a good gander at this year's offerings and am currently trying to persuade myself that 85 for the Selfridges one is not a good idea....anyone tempted this year/succumbed last year? I know that Ciate, Boots, Benefit etc all do one but i would worry about buyers remorse at falling for the gimick....but the child in me would love one!

Hopefully there isnt already a thread about this somewhere!

i got the boots one last year and it was pretty good - had loads of different stuff and brands but this year its just gonna be No7 products - might still get it
im deffo going to get the benefit one - missed out on it last year

I got the Boots calendar for my dd last year and it was a bit crap. I wouldn't bother again. There were quite a few perfume samples which shops give out free anyway, and a couple of horrible hair bobbles. The best things were the tiny nail varnishes. I think I'll get a chocolate one this year!

Great x-post!

Apparently Jo Malone has launched one this year....but at 250 quid i might have to give it a miss...

I like the idea of keeping something from a calendar. Last year I had a doctor who one but the models you got in them were crap. I thought they'd be like cool little collectibles. Now nail varnish would be much better! Maybe the ciate one, pricey though!
