Beauty Advent Calendars 2019

It’s almost that time again! Anyone have their eye on anything?

There is a good overview here: www.marieclaire.co.uk/beauty/beauty-advent-calendars-2019-39069

I’m waiting on the M&S one as I loved it so much last year (no sign of it so far but I suspect it will be similar to 2018 for release date, so around start of November). I also like the look of the Look Fantastic and Nuxe but three may be pushing it. Grin

If money was no object I’d be on the Jo Malone and Lush calendars.

My Debenhams calendar has arrived and I may have opened every door (just to check nothing was missing) Wink!

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 25/10/2019 14:34

😂😂😂😂

Mine has arrived too, I'm resisting the urge to look inside.

Not bad for free 3-5 day delivery! It arrived within 36 hours of order Smile

YorkieTheRabbit · 25/10/2019 14:47

Just ordered the M&S one. Bought a Nuxe cracker, a face mask as gifts and some face clothes to get over the £25. Smile

@CottonHeadedNinyMuggins, unlike me you obviously have self control! The Nars blusher is very cute! It's actually only costing me £15 so I'm tempted to unpack it now and get another calendar on Black Friday!

MiaN · 25/10/2019 17:27

how did you order the M&S? I don't see it as available yet?

Butterymuffin · 25/10/2019 17:32

Think the M&S one is only available to Sparks card holders yet. The rest of us can buy from the 31st. I am going into the store for mine so that I can walk away with it on the day.

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 25/10/2019 17:54

I've sent them a message as although I'm a Sparks member it hasn't shown up - nor has it been emailed. I know the card is attached to my online account though cos I can click on the 'sparks' bit in the drop down account menu and it's there with points added.

Also when I go through the website the 'sparks' logo shows up in the corner of certain items too.

Please can I be cheeky and ask for someone who can see the link to pre-order either post it or pm me it so I can see if it shows up here? It would seem from above I'm not the only sparks member who can't see it :) Thank you :)

Another fan of the Holland and Barrett one. Was do impressed by last year's I bought this year's the day it was released! 25 days, lots of full sizes, good range of face and body stuff, and it's got the ethical feel good factor too!

QueenOfTheCauldron · 25/10/2019 23:48

I was a bit hacked off that I didnt get 10% off of my Boots No7 calendar, when I am on the contact lens reward scheme. Has anyone else had this or should I complain? Grin

Geppili · 26/10/2019 00:12

How did they trap you into having unprotected sex with them?

CopperTrolley · 26/10/2019 08:13

@Geppili I think you may have posted on the wrong thread! Either that or there’s some weird stuff in this year’s advent calendars!

Keepsmiling1 · 26/10/2019 11:34

My mum has contacted M&S because she is a sparks member and hasn't had an email. They said they were sending them out from yesterday-Tuesday so it could be that your email just hasn't been sent yet. Hopefully we will have them by Tuesday and still be able to preorder them.

My email was in my junk, and I had to fish it out. I've since placed two orders, and bought a beauty calendar with each - one for DD and one for an Aunt. Didn't think I'd be allowed to do that, so well chuffed. Saves me a trip into town.

Was late night flitting between Advent calendars and a hilarious predatory lesbian thread! As you do..

I have my M&S calendar, picked it up this morning, Smile

jay55 · 26/10/2019 15:22

Picked up my Fortnum and mason calendar today, weighs a ton. I'm working away mon-fri until Xmas so might have to start opening it on weekends from now....

Doubleraspberry · 26/10/2019 15:23

Liberty calendar owners. Would it fit into a carry on size suitcase? Ditto M&S?

SuckingDieselFella · 26/10/2019 15:31

M&S will fit into a carry-on suitcase but I don't know if you could fit in two. They'll be quite heavy as well.

SunshineCake · 26/10/2019 16:05

I've found it on my app but not on the M and S site. Can anyone help please ?

SunshineCake · 26/10/2019 16:07

Eek. The one I've found said was so much with a spend but now it is in my bag it is saying £300. .

Schwibble · 26/10/2019 16:12

Have ordered my £40 M&S one through Sparks, ordered with a face cream and some socks to qualify for the £25 minimum spend.

@SunshineCake I think you can only spend in womens, home and beauty to qualify for the offer, but I could be wtong.
