So...is the Grazia one worth it? Any Debenhams calendars still knocking about...?

The Grazia one looks ok I think...would love to try the perfume but it's only 5mls.

It's odd that the Estée Lauder companies didn't do a calendar this year - last year's one looked great. But I'm very happy with my Holland and Barratt calendar , particularly as I have no idea what's in it!

Grazia would be something I would like but we will see. I am only looking into calendars under £50 and even then it has to be of great value.

Oooh thanks for the new thread. Even though I already have way too many and need to stop looking at it!

Just checking in. Can not spend a penny more, so really shouldn't be here as you're all a terrible influence. But hi!!! 👋

Lol I think so many of us are now in the same penniless boat.😂😂 Still keep my eye on discounts though.😂

Checking in too. I won't get the Grazia one myself but I posted the info at the end of the last thread as I know folk are still bargain hunting. @Bansku19 it should be priced at 42.50 come Monday.
I would like J L but it'd have to come down a lot more, which seems unlikely. But I'll keep an eye out for any good deals next weekend (after I've been paid).

Wondering if the amazon one will be available at a reduced price next Friday?

I have so many at the moment, think I got a touch carried away!

Going to try to avoid buying anymore, I REALLY don’t need them. There’s also a lot of Black Friday beauty boxes starting to appear, Look Fantastic just sent me a link to one and Glossybox have one too. Must. Not. Buy.

Really wish I'd got the Holland And Barrett one when it was in stock for my mum.... she kept refusing and saying it was alright she didn't want one (she did... but she wouldn't admit it cos she's awkward until it was too late!). I kept looking at it 3/4 times over a few days and asking her if she wanted it and she kept saying no.

Since then she's seen mine and now keeps getting me to check daily even though I know it's a no(!) Parents...!!

Have bought her the Nivea instead (she wants more skincare than beauty). She won't wait next year...!

(mine as in beauty advent calendars - not mine as in H&B otherwise I'd give her it)

The Amazon did say it woul d be back in stock a week or so ago on the 21st but unless it came in and went out same day (i didn't check) they might be holding the stock back for BF?

The John Lewis one was 30% off when I looked yesterday

What I really would love to have is the Elemis calendar come down in price... but I have a couple I'm looking forward to opening.

I’m interested in ESPA but can’t justify spending that much on body produce when I have so much

I’m an espa convert, had one of their facials at a spa recently and WOW

The Amazon one was on the Treasure Truck on Tuesday or Wednesday for £34.99 so that’s probably that unless they’re making more (and it’s a bit late now).

I watched unboxing of Graczia and not impressed

Some of the Beauty Boxes look lovely...the Philosophy one for example. But I just don't need any more products now so going to concentrate on gift buying for others.

I liked the look of the Fenwick one but its sold out now probably good as I have tonnes of products to use already

Also posted this on the previous thread but asking here too. Has anyone received their mankind calendar and what is your opinion of it? Worth it?

I'm thinking of buying another one on Black Friday, for January

Ha Ha - I was out walking dog and was very deep in thought over the decision as to which Calendar to get for my daughters - inadvertently completely blanked another dog walker saying polite hello!

it was Chris Evans - bet that does not happen very often!!

Going to shops now!

I've left it a bit late this year but can anyone please recommend a mostly make-up calendar for DD? I had one in mind but it was mainly lipstick and she doesn't wear it.
TIA!

The nivea one is in Morrison's £20. That's 50% and cheaper than amazon if anyone is looking to save an extra couple of quid.
