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.

I'm not even sure it is the right one

RingtheBells · 26/10/2019 16:16

It is only clothes, (don't know if it is just women), home and beauty, I had Christmas decs in my basket at first and they didn't count.

ajandjjmum · 26/10/2019 16:20

I bought some small christmas gifts on a 3 for 2 offer and they counted.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 26/10/2019 16:22

@LazyLizzy Oh no!! I just got the glossy box for DD.

Why weren't you impressed?

She was desperate for it-hoping it works out

The ad is here.

You need to spend £40 if you don't have a sparks offer.

RingtheBells · 26/10/2019 16:27

ah yes, looks like gifts are on it, but decs like the robin I tried to buy aren't, online it says on the item if it is valid for the calendar.

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 26/10/2019 17:11

Think I'm having the same issue too - no matter what I put in the offer (stuff that is covered by the beauty, home and clothing branches of the site) it won't come down in price.

I've added clothes, crockery, toiletries, beauty stuff - sometimes all at the same time as I had a £500 basket at one point - it just won't come down. Confused

Ditto with clothing and crockery - still no reduction. I'm so confused now it's finally shown up!

hetty74 · 26/10/2019 17:59

Thanks for the heads up on the sparks m&s one...just ordered it 👍

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 26/10/2019 18:05

Contacted facebook messenger - apparently it's because the offer isn't available for all - despite it showing up in my sparks now after not showing up earlier.

They're going to look into what's happening apparently - ah first world problems haha!

SuckingDieselFella · 26/10/2019 18:26

Did you opt into the offer? You need to go to your sparks account and click on it. It could also be because you have discounts on other products. If its "not to be used in conjunction with other offers" then it won't work.

SunshineCake · 26/10/2019 18:30

I have a sparks card but not sure how to order.

Someone posted a link to the best 29 advent calendars and I was thinking of buying the cheese one for dh then I remembered it is me that loves cheese more Grin

SuckingDieselFella · 26/10/2019 18:35

You order and pay for it online and collect in store. They will be available to buy in store from Thursday.

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 26/10/2019 18:55

I did , yep - it seems to be an account error from what they said on messenger after they'd gone into things. Thank you for the help though :)

SuckingDieselFella · 26/10/2019 18:56

M&S should be paying me. Smile

RingtheBells · 26/10/2019 18:57

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins

Did you go through the Sparks bit in your account to buy the calendar and goods

RingtheBells · 26/10/2019 18:59

X post, just see that’s been answered

Mine did work in conjunction with other 20% Sparks discounts

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 26/10/2019 18:59

BlaueLaguna - I think they use Yodel.

Doubleraspberry · 26/10/2019 20:07

I have two suitcases thankfully!

Keepsmiling1 · 27/10/2019 15:51

M&S email arrived today so all ordered now - I can pick it up on Wednesday. I am so excited as I've read the thread the past 2 years and loved it despite not being able to join in!

Schwibble · 27/10/2019 17:24

Collected my M&S Advent Calendar today - it's a big 'un! Grin
