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.

Waiting for my matchbox to arrive, what a bargain, I'm hoping to save it for Jan if I can get a better one for dec.
Missed out on look fantastic😣 my mum has m&s so don't want that, I'm hoping the John Lewis comes down in price on black Friday

Kez0777 · 15/11/2019 21:56

I don't even have a local M & S anymore and the nearest are too far to travel on the hope they might have one in stock. Sooooo I've gone for the Birchbox one instead. Hope it's a good 'un 🤞🏼

PrincessWatermelon · 15/11/2019 22:53

My Birchbox arrived today!!! Hurrah!!! Like others have said, it is really heavy and substantial. I'm very excited. I have M&S for proper advent (as I love the opening thread) and will save Birchbox for Jadvent. It sounded like a few people were saving it - maybe we could have another daily opening thread? I enjoy it so much, sharing what's in there with others.

Butterymuffin · 16/11/2019 00:03

My Birchbox arrived today too! And it's also my Jadvent one (so happy at people embracing Jadvent Grin) so I would be up for an opening thread in the new year.

FadingStar · 16/11/2019 07:51

I'd be up for that too!! I'll hold it back until January and would love a thread to see me through the utter misery that is January.Grin

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 16/11/2019 14:21

Birchbox arrived today - thank you very much for pointing it out. It's huge and heavy isn't it Grin and so so so shiny!! It looks absolutely beautiful!

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 16/11/2019 14:22

Quite looking forward to using the birchbox for storage after it's finished too!

Bansku19 · 16/11/2019 20:03

Finally Mugler revealed their Xmas special. Not a advent calendar but a box of edt and perfumes. I might get it if the price goes down from £125.

@Bansku19 that looks pretty impressive, please do you have a link for the mugler edit? I can’t seem to find it on their website.

Sammi38 · 16/11/2019 21:31

@Bansku19 thank you! Much appreciated.

I love the ELLE advent. It's so worth it! I bought M&S, Selfidges beauty collection bag, Space NK advent with the GWP and the ELLE is by far my favoure. I opened it already and won't give spoilers but really love it.

The only thing I am going to say it that would love it if they remove the plastic from their packaging next year.

Bansku19 · 17/11/2019 19:49

I opened Birchbox because I needed one product in it. There were three products for which I don't have any use and some other ones I might use or not. But generally the products were good. I am not going to open M&S though.

eatsleepmoverepeat · 17/11/2019 21:21

@MiaN I didn’t know about the Selfridges beauty collection til it was too late. Is it as good as it looked?

I’ve also got M&S, Elle, Space NK & Debenhams so we’ve clearly got similar taste!

AtSea1979 · 17/11/2019 21:53

My M&S one is here. Very excited and not looking on the back. Don’t want any spoilers!

Butterymuffin · 17/11/2019 22:04

I'm not even looking up thread now because I saw the first line of a post saying 'I opened
Birchbox..' La la la la la la la la!

MiaN · 18/11/2019 04:59

Buttermuffin, there isn't spoilers for either - just thumbs up if anyone is still looking for one while they are still in offer.

@eatsleepmoverepeat I am unsure about it yet. I love that there was no waste package, DH travels a lot and took the bag the products were in and said it's really good. I need to use few more of the products before deciding.

RingtheBells · 18/11/2019 06:45

Amazon have 30% off some just today on their daily deal, I bought a Morris & Co one, there is also Cath Kidston, Rituals, Nivea and a few more, not their Amazon one though.

FadingStar · 18/11/2019 07:31

Thanks Rings....just bought Nivea for my mum. She has used their products for 40+ years so she will love it.

Bansku19 · 18/11/2019 07:43

@Butterymuffin I didn't mention any products because I didn't want to spoil the surprise.

Freshstart40 · 18/11/2019 11:06

Hi all, doesn't anyone know if Birchbox has sold out? I've just tried to google but no luck.

Freshstart40 · 18/11/2019 11:38
  • does, not doesn't! Sorry, that sounded rude!
eatsleepmoverepeat · 18/11/2019 12:15

@Freshstart40 I think it might have done. I’m getting a page not found error.

Freshstart40 · 18/11/2019 12:55

@eatsleepmoverepeat Thank you. Yes I'm getting that page too. I think it has.. Oh well my bank balance will thank me!

GinisLife · 18/11/2019 13:17

Am I the only person who has bought a Decleor one ? It was £85 but got a free gift worth £70 with it and it has 5 full size products.
