Beauty advent calendars....

[Piccolino2]

For those interested there's already some info coming out on this years beauty advent calendars... plenty of time for us all to debate and neurose about it all:

I've been putting £5 away a week since last Christmas for this so I can purchase guilt free and as I organise the whole of Christmas for everyone then I think I should get a treat to look forward to. Personally I think I like the look of Harrods this time.

What do you all think?

I ordered the Look Fantastic one already, and I watched a YouTube unboxing of it today (I'll have forgotten everything by December 1st), and I found it quite disappointing 🤦‍♀️

Mrscar I watched one too, but only watched day one and left it😂. Last years was really good, even down to the design. I think everyone has high expectations now. I do anyway! I have already read comments on Youtube that they wont bother buying it this year

I hate to be mean, but she was rather irritating. I was very tempted to turn it off too!

I requested a cancellation on my LookFantastic one, but it's still
showing up as 'processing' under my order
My main issue is that it seems to be too repetitive; I already have most of or very similar products in the monthly beauty boxes (first world problem I know)!

I was thinking myself to cancel it and go for something different instead, i think i will and go for the Elle one instead, £125, so abit extra!

Mine says cancelled now, phew!

But I looked at the contents and I already have the ultra repair cream, the Molton brown, I don't like sleek makeup, I already have the mane & tale shampoo, I don't want/need a makeup brush...
so glad I've cancelled it now.

I'll have a look at the Elle one

I thought the Elle one looked good too. Some of the others were the same old stuff as is in every subscription box.

Some random stuff too - Byredo's hair perfume in the Liberty calendar for example. Surely I'm not the only person who would prefer actual scent, hand cream or whatever?

The Elle one does look amazing... and I love the Polkadots!

I actually wanted a hair perfume😂.

I cancelled Look Fantastic and have signed upto the wait list for Elle, so will preorder on the 1st of Oct. The products so far look good, and theres a candle in there that i looked up a while ago and fancied. So im sold

The Fenwick one looks good. Haven’t seen what’s in the Elle one yet though or selfridfges etc

The Harrods one looks good too. And I want to try more ESPA stuff do tempted by that. And also need to look at the Charlotte tilbury one as I don’t have any of her stuff so might be a good way to try 🤔

But then part of me does just not want o be sucked in by these 😬😂

Fortnum and Mason also have a beauty advent calendar this year
It’s £195....but says it’s worth £600

I'm pretty sure the Charlotte Tilbury one is only 12 days/products, just incase anyone would order and expect 24

Can anyone tell me what is in the Boots Advent Calendar? Is it largely skincare (which is what I’m interested in)?

Oh, I’m watching QVC and they are showing the Decleor one

I'm not buying any this year....
so far I've got the decleor one and have ordered Look Fantastic

I would love the Elemis one!

Aridane I had the No 7 one last year, and it was about 50% skincare. I liked it, and would buy it again.

I had it too and liked it, but I was sick of the sight of No7 by the end of it

I'm actually wearing the raspberry coloured lip crayon today from it, it's such a beautiful colour

Charlotte Tilbury is only 12 days, i got it last year but didnt use it for advent. It doesnt have numbers on the door, so i guess you would just open willy-nilly?😂 The box is very pretty and i still use it for storing makeup bits! Its just the same bits every year i think in the CT ones.

I may be doing it wrong but I can't seem to access the Liberty Gift With Purchase referred to above.

I've got £200 worth of beauty in my basket, but only a couple of samples added at Checkout.
Wonder if it is sold out?

The Liberty gift with purchase was limited.
They sold out pretty quickly (mainly to people on Mumsnet I think)
Mine came the other day
Lots of really nice stuff and several full size items too. Definitely worth the money

Qvc have the Molton Brown advent calendar on their website now too

A month ago I didnt plan in buying any, today i have Body Shop and Decleor!
