I didn't get around to posting my swaps before Christmas. So sorry. They will go tomorrow. I am so excited with my parcel of perfume this morning I now feel guilty that I didn't send Confused

I got the John Lewis one for Christmas, and I'm doing it day by day in January. DH bought it because he knew how much I loved the M & S one!

AtSea1979 · 28/12/2018 21:31

Does the beauty box have numbers too?

diamondsandrose · 28/12/2018 21:43

Atalune we had said to swap the Doll 10 for something, I could give you elasticiser in exchange ?

I also have unused the Balance me night cream , red Nail polish, black liner , powder brush, the bronzer, the shower gel so happy to swap any of them

I love the l,Occitane cream , the stila brown liner, the Percy and reed, the eye cream would love to accept any of these x

diamondsandrose · 28/12/2018 21:44

Are there any good advents on sale? I looked on amazon but they were ££££

LostInShoebiz · 29/12/2018 09:18

John Lewis was still available yesterday for about £80.

ajandjjmum · 29/12/2018 10:52

That's half price for John Lewis - they are available on ebay for a lot more, so I'm surprised they're still in stock. When DH went to the Birmingham store a couple of days before Christmas, they only had the one, and it was ex-display - perfect though.

ajandjjmum · 29/12/2018 10:52

Should say DD googled the contents, and said they are excellent - although they'll still be a surprise to me.

HollyHocks13 · 29/12/2018 18:28

I've still got these 2 if anyone wants to swap them? I'd like the perfume, elasticiser or REN cream if possible...

Whatsnewwithyou · 29/12/2018 18:33

@ajandjjmum I'd check the reviews before ordering the John Lewis calendar if I were you...as it seems like it's good brands but the sizes are like what you'd get as a free sample rather than any reasonable amount of the product.

Atalune · 29/12/2018 19:30

diamond what’s the doll 10? Is that the perfume? Then yes let’s swap!

holly I would love the both.... I have the
Ren night cream
Marks and Spencer’s night cream
Balance me eye cream
Percy reed hair treatment

MinorProphet · 01/01/2019 18:40

So... Um... How do I get the discount...? Thank you!

pierpressure · 05/01/2019 14:08

Thank you all, I loved the calendar, loved the Mumsnet threads, and have received a lovely parcel of goodies swapped for perfume with shopalotalot, Win win !

ajandjjmum · 26/01/2019 10:45

So how long do we have to wait for the Summer beauty box?

ajandjjmum · 26/01/2019 10:46

Also should say that I've just finished my JL Advent Calendar, which was lovely but I didn't enjoy it as much as the M & S one - I'm sure it's because I didn't have people to chat to about it! Smile

PartTimePunk · 26/01/2019 12:44

There was a rumour earlier in the thread that there would be a discount code for items in the calendar. Any sign of one - or did I miss it? I really want to get the Prai cream and the Living Proof hair product but am holding out for some money off.
