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.

DH took me shopping to have a look at M&S's one. I was disappointed when I went in to the shop and they were all gone. Then dh saw them. I've bought it. Very surprised at how many full sized items are in it and loved dh face when it clocked up £300 at the till Grin.

@Violetroselily the Debenhams one briefly went out of stock but it's showing as in stock on their website.

LEELULUMPKIN · 02/11/2019 22:10

Glad you got it Sunshine. Will you be joining the daily thread? It's my first M&S one too!

SunshineCake · 02/11/2019 22:11

Yep!

woodhill · 03/11/2019 08:44

Sunshine I take it you spent £25 on other items for your dh to pay £40Smile

SouthWestmom · 03/11/2019 09:09

I'm still dithering. I wanted the Clarins one but it's only 12 days .

RingtheBells · 03/11/2019 09:31

I have the M&S one and am waiting for the Amazon one to go down to £30 Smile

SunshineCake · 03/11/2019 09:59

woodhill all the spend was on dh and I paid the whole lot. I am a SAHM so it's all earned by him and jointly spent. I had been given money so I'll say it's from that. I also save money monthly which pays for Christmas so will earmark some of that for next year for another calendar Grin.

LEELULUMPKIN · 03/11/2019 10:29

2 Questions......

  1. Does anyone have any experience of the Mankind men's calendar?
  2. Roughly how much was the John Lewis one reduced before
Christmas last year.........(asking for a "friend") :))
littlepooch · 03/11/2019 11:34

M&s one is sold out online I think.

shinny · 03/11/2019 11:52

Just went on LookFantastic website to order it and its SOLD OUT!! Any idea if any more will come in?

Im quickly ordering Debenhams one now.....

May end up having to get the M&S one too as have my heart set on 2 this year......

banskuwansku · 03/11/2019 18:51

I like the looks and contents of l'occitane and body shop calendars but I don't use hand or body creams, of which they seem to be full off.

SouthWestmom · 03/11/2019 20:00

Dh bought me the Clarins one today.

So excited as we got free gifts with it as well.

Waiting for Amazon to come down on Black Friday

MrsMoggs · 03/11/2019 20:15

Debenhams or M&S?

LEELULUMPKIN · 03/11/2019 20:28

M&S is sold out online now. Only available in store.

plightofthealbatross · 03/11/2019 22:04

I think the M&S looks better than the Debenhams, but sounds like you'll have to go to the store now if they're sold out online.

Mine should be arriving Tuesday. :)

MrsMoggs · 03/11/2019 23:35

Thanks both, there are still some in M&S locally (although not as many as last year!). Before I take the plunge, is there anything else at this sort of price point that people would recommend?

LEELULUMPKIN · 04/11/2019 09:00

MrsMoggs. NEXT are doing one if this is any interest to you. I don't have any experience of it as I think it is the first year.

www.next.co.uk/style/esr06092#r06092

Out of the other two you are thinking, I would deffo go for the M&S one though.

ajandjjmum · 04/11/2019 10:20

LEELULUMPKIN
The John Lewis one went down to £80 just before Christmas, but it sold out very quickly.

Butterymuffin · 04/11/2019 10:25

MrsMoggs I M O nothing else at that price point is better than the M&S one. I'd get down to your local store for one.

For comparison, on the Latest in Beauty site this morning they still have their own calendar in stock and the Grazia one, but they are 65 and 85 respectively.

ajandjjmum · 04/11/2019 12:49

Just had an 'ad' to say that the JL calendar is reduced by 20% at the moment.

littlepooch · 04/11/2019 15:56

I snapped up the m& s one today in store.
I've been dithering this year which one to get and just decided to play if safe and get m&s this year.

So tempted to get a higher end one too still.

FredaFox · 04/11/2019 19:26

Has anyone had the John Lewis one befor? Now look fantastic is sold out in considering it.
Mum has M&S so don't want that as we will trade items!
Gutted about look fantastic, was being greedy hoping for a deal

FadingStar · 05/11/2019 07:45

If anyone is still looking, Space NK has their GWP out today..£250 spend. So you could get the calendar and some pressies and qualify.
