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've just ordered the Arron one, there was a discount code so cost £40. It looks amazing, I love bath type products and there's loads of other fabulous sounding stuff. Had never heard of them before. This thread is definitely a bad influence on me Grin

Thanks for the tip off @notangelinajolie and for getting me to break my vow not to buy any more calendars before Black Friday. As I have
Birchbox VIP membership, I was able to stack those two codes along with that and get the advent calendar for... 38.08 Grin

So Birchbox will now be my Jadvent calendar, to brighten up the dreariness of the new year. I will have to steel myself not to buy more though!

notangelinajolie · 13/11/2019 01:13

Sorry about that Butterymuffin but 38.08 is amazing Smile

I really need to think of treating myself to one of these calendars. Jadvent sounds like a very good idea, I have one more daughter to buy for and then it's my turn.

Cult Beauty is back in limited stock. £20 discount as the exterior is not in perfect condition. Bit gutted as that’s what I really wanted!

MiaN · 13/11/2019 11:29

I cant find it?

notangelinajolie · 13/11/2019 11:33

@eatsleepmoverepeat please do you have a link?

RenardeRenarde · 13/11/2019 11:56

notangelinajolie Thanks for the tip! One Birchbox advent calendar for me Grin

Curtainly · 13/11/2019 11:58

Does anyone know if the Amazon one goes cheaper than £40 please?

shinny · 13/11/2019 12:02

I heard Amazon ones goes down on BF. Stock dependent of course.

Thanks for tip about Elle which Ive now got my eye on.

Also got Birchbox in my basket umming and ahhing about whether to get it or not.....

I agree with UpToon who said that prices of these have gone so high that you want to ensure you're getting a great deal especially as you're unlikely to LOVE every product inside.

PrincessWatermelon · 13/11/2019 12:10

Thank you @notangelinajolie. I've just ordered the Birchbox one for January. I've never had 2 before, but it was an excellent price and will def be something to look forward to in the new year. £44.80. Bargain!

eatsleepmoverepeat · 13/11/2019 12:16

Sorry @notangelinajolie by the time I tried to get it myself it had gone!

notangelinajolie · 13/11/2019 12:29

Thanks eat, not to worry. Sounds like they found a couple of damaged boxes in the back of the warehouse. I keep clicking on glossybox and lookfantastic in the same hope.

Here is the Elle link I found last night. It's not live yet but worth keeping an eye on.

Doubleraspberry · 13/11/2019 12:34

A bit of me wants to buy Birchbox but I already have Cult Beauty, Liberty and M&S, and the madness needs to stop.

I don’t even wear make up.

Butterymuffin · 13/11/2019 12:37

@Curtainly I got the Amazon one last year for £30 around Black Friday.

g1c2d3 · 13/11/2019 13:33

Anyone ordered the Mankind advent calendar and actually received it? I pre-ordered it but a week later still says they will deliver when received from supplier. I thought they were the supplier. Thinking of cancelling my order now but it would have made such a good present for my husband.

shinny · 13/11/2019 13:48

Elle link is live!! its 75quid from 115

Can't decide whether to get it or to get Birchbox…...already have Debenhams. So bad at deciding.....

shinny · 13/11/2019 13:50

Actually scratch that as I can't put it in my basket and checkout...… sorry

doadeer · 13/11/2019 14:38

Is the space nk one worth it? Thoughts

Sammi38 · 13/11/2019 14:39

@doadeer I have the space NK one. I think it’s worth it, I opened it though and am using the products, which I’m very happy with.

banskuwansku · 13/11/2019 14:45

@shinny I got the Birchbox one even though I wasn't supposed to get other one....

TattiePants · 13/11/2019 15:18

The Elle one has definitely now dropped to £75 now. You can also get 10% off Hearst Magazines beauty boxes through topcashback so that brings it down to £67.50. I've got 3 already so I definitely don't need another!

eatsleepmoverepeat · 13/11/2019 15:31

@doadeer I think it is, especially if you spend a little more and get the freebie. I’ve not opened any of mine yet but really looking forward to using it!

ajandjjmum · 13/11/2019 15:37

Just bought the Elle one for DD - it'll be wrapped up for Christmas, so a Jadvent calendar! She loved it last year.

notangelinajolie · 13/11/2019 17:59

I got the Elle one too yay Smile

So I have 1 x Liberty for eldest DD's early December birthday.
And 1 x Birchbox and 1 x Elle for DD2 & DD3 who will be getting their Jadvents on Christmas Day.

All that calendar buying was stressful! I'm all done now and I'm skint [santa] If by some miracle Cult reappears I will buy it for me and we will all have to eat beans until Christmas. If not I will be back here early next year and I will be first in the queue.

MiaN · 13/11/2019 20:32

thanks for the tip, I ordered Elle. It was my favourite last year!

It doesn't look like it tracked on topcashback but maybe it will appear later
