The Advent Calendars are arriving ....

[OneInAMillionYou]

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!

Just ordered my Liberty one! Still available at 6.45 am

So would the sample products in, for example, the Liberty one cost £7 each if you bought them?

I’ve ordered the Liberty, my husband is going to kill me.......

@BertrandRussell They would cost more than £7. And you also get full size products. I take it you're not a regular user of luxe beauty products?

I’ve gone for the look fantastic one. I thought about Liberty but just couldn’t justify it in the end! I’m having it next year though

I looked at the Liberty one but I just can’t justify it.
M&S for me when it’s released I think

Liberty calendar ordered!

Another here who can't justify the cost of the Liberty one, lovely as it is. Pomegranate, can I be your best friend?

It's a toss up between the M&S one, or the No.7, although I'm leaning more towards M&S as it has a range of brands.

I'm still not decided about the Liberty one, but I think I'll go for it. I have soooo many products to use up, but I can afford it and I deserve a treat!

bertrand The retail cost of the Liberty items is much more than £7 each. For example the Diptyque candle costs £24 and the Trish McEvoy lip gloss is also around £25. They're not samples as you would get for free from a beauty counter, but either full size products or "deluxe samples" - i.e. around a third of a full product.

Ordered liberty one this morning. Loved it last year and made £££ selling the few things I didn't like on eBay. So it'll work out well again I think. I have been ignoring anything stating the contents! I want a surprise!

I just caught DP ordering the Liberty calendar for me! I'm pretending I saw nothing

I ordered DH the whisky advent calendar last year and the ginvent one the year before. Any ideas for DH for this year? Sadly, he's not a fan of grooming products so Tom Ford is wasted on him.

15 out of the 24 are full size. Thats good enough for me.

So excited!!! Im surprised it hasnt sold out yet 😍😍😍😍

Got an email to let me know its been dispatched, dont know how ill hold back and not open each draw😓

caggie you don't have to hold back! It's one of the few perks of being a grown-up...!

My Look Fantastic box just arrived!! Resisting opening the whole thing!

@LavenderHills what a sweet DP!

Just ordered Liberty one for first time. very excited

Hi HaHa,
We've withdrawn that spoilery post now as per your request, so all of you ordering will Just Have To Be Good And Wait.

'Be Good And Wait'?? (Novel concept)

I ordered the Liberty one this morning (at 07:30) for my mum.

Have just checked the Liberty website and they are still available to buy but there are so many on Ebay already with a heavy mark-up saying 'sold out'.

Sorry for the spoilers! I had totted up the value of the RRPs of nine of the fifteen full size products. £278 for those alone.

Just had a look on eBay, Japanese. Loads of them, including one listing which wants £320 and has at least ten available. Knobs. I wish Liberty would place a limit on the number that you can buy, but perhaps the rapid sell-out and lucrative secondary market is desirable to create a buzz around the product.

It's bonkers isn't it? I hope anyone who wants one has the sense to actually check the Liberty website first before buying such a marked-up (but not actually sold out yet) product on EBay.
