Tis the season...

The first one I've seen actually for sale is the John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar. £149 with a great selection of products.
Ordered mine!

I can't decide between the NYX lip one or the ASOS one.

I watched a very annoying YouTube blogger opening each window of the ASOS one and I'm a bit disappointed. I haven't heard of several of the brands, but then I'm not a beauty expert!

Sorry if already mentioned, good article here

The Tili one launches monday

riskyinred · 21/10/2017 09:57

Has anybody seen this year’s Kiehl’s calendar in Selfridges? Supposed to be launched on 19th October but nothing on the website. Wondering if it’s an instore only thing which would be a pain as my nearest one is in another city :(

suze28 · 21/10/2017 10:40

As an alternative to the M&S one I always go for, this year I’m extremely tempted by the QVC Tili advent calendar. It’s £40 so very reasonably priced.

Motoko · 21/10/2017 13:04

Suze do you have a link to the QVC one? I can't find it.

Magstermay · 21/10/2017 14:40

risky I ordered the Kiehls one online on Thurs but can't find it there now. Not sure if it's sold out? It's supposedly been delivered tiny work today but I'm not there til Monday to check.

Annabelle4 · 22/10/2017 14:14

I've ordered the NYX lip one, Superdrug teen ones, L'occitane (the cheaper one).
They are gifts, but I might cave and buy one for myself.

I think the No7 one is out this week Grin

Mrsallovertheplace · 22/10/2017 16:56

I caved and opened my ASOS advent, have to say that considering I was excited about a few products looking at you Renaissance mask I was a little disappointed, sizes are small and it just feels a bit random and overall cheap.

Ldndiaries have the unboxing of the Tili advent on YouTube.

snowplopgoestheguillotinedhead · 23/10/2017 10:45

The Tili calendar is already sold out so my bank balance heaves a sigh of relief

chloechloe · 23/10/2017 10:47

Who's gearing up to buy the Liberty one this week when it launches! I know I shouldn't as I have too much stuff but I'm sooooo tempted!

macnab · 23/10/2017 10:48

Oh no I can't believe I missed the QVC one Sad I looked first thing and couldn't see it, it must have sold out in record time. I wonder will they do it again?

Wellysocksbox · 23/10/2017 10:49

I am! Alarm clocks at the ready Grin

BulletFox · 23/10/2017 11:21

Mrsall I felt the same about asos; there were some nice products but the sizes were too small!

I really wanted to try the luna play but am still getting to grips with its rubbery weirdness

MountainDweller · 23/10/2017 12:43

I am very tempted by the Liberty one, but I already ordered the Look Fantastic one and not sure I can justify it! It hasn’t come yet even though I pre-ordered. Apparently they are waiting for stock Angry Anyone else still waiting?

@DeltaG I only just saw your reply. I had a friend who lived over your way in Chavannes de bogis but she has left now so you are not her Grin I am near Val Thoiry with the temptations of l’occitane and Sephora! Hope you enjoy the Benefit calendar.

Henrysmycat · 23/10/2017 12:58

Hmmmm.... from the pictures, the Liberty looks almost the same as last year. Byredo cream, Espa cream, Diptyque candle, same Votary oil, Trish McEvoy lippy... I usually like it as I get to discover stuff but its much sameness this year.

Annabelle4 · 23/10/2017 12:59

I ordered the NYX lip one over the weekend and it arrived this morning.

I still haven't decided which one I'll order for myself.

Mrsallovertheplace · 23/10/2017 13:47

bullet I can't seem to take to it, I tried it from another beauty box and ended up giving it to my sister and tried this one last night with an oil cleanse and it just feels weird. Heard a lot rave about them though.

I'm a little surprised the tili sold out so fast Shock

HaHaHmm · 23/10/2017 14:02

Have Liberty published the time that the advent calendar will go on sale? I can't find it and need to know when to set my alarm for...

MotherofTerror · 23/10/2017 15:00

When I looked first thing this morning the Tili one was in stock but by the time I'd had a cup of tea and sat down to order they had all gone. That must be a sign that I should go for the Liberty one, mustn't it?

BulletFox · 23/10/2017 15:02

Think Liberty is 25th. I'd love to try it but need to be sensible. Dammit.

Nanasueathome · 23/10/2017 15:17

I have just called QVC re the TILI advent calendar and they have confirmed it has already sold out
The girl,went off to check and came back and advised to keep a look out as they are going to offer something similar as an alternative very soon.........

Pomegranatepompom · 23/10/2017 15:27

Liberty for me and probably M&S.
I might have to avoid this thread though if contents are posted, I like the surprise !

chloechloe · 23/10/2017 15:49

mountaindweller My LF one arrived about a week ago, maybe they're posting them out in batches according to order date? Mine seems to be faulty though, as all 25 boxes are open already and it's only October Grin

HaHaHmm · 23/10/2017 17:06

Liberty definitely launches on Wednesday, the 25th, but a poster upthread mentioned a 6am launch time and I can't find that corroborated anywhere else...

caggie09 · 23/10/2017 19:20

Keep an eye out on the Liberty facebook page, they announced the instore time of 8:30 and they did say they will update soon to let us no the online time!😊
