For anyone keen to stock up still for Jadvent, I’ve just found a Nuxe calendar for €60 still on sale online. Looks like €5 shipping on it.

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 11/12/2019 11:22

Just read the thread on the Harrods one and they're not happy with it, in that case I don't think it's even worth it at half price.

Are there any more still floating about? I'd love one for January.

Writersblock2 · 11/12/2019 11:52

I’d be interested too (but not Harrods!). I’m not sure if there are any others.

I’m waiting for the Next VIP sale as they always go to at least half price which would take their calendar down to a very decent £32.50, if not lower. Of course it may sell out before then but I doubt it.

diamondsandrose · 11/12/2019 19:07

Same here I'm still on the lookout for a bargain Jadvent

Read the Harris's thread on here and they are not seeming overly impressed , if I had money to burn I'd go for it

Anyone know when the Next VIP email is going out? I do get a bit overexcited about that

diamondsandrose · 11/12/2019 19:08

Harrods ! Sorry Grin

FatimaLovesBread · 13/12/2019 09:36

I'm glad I made the decision to get the asos one last minute, well DH got it me, it's been fab so far.

Also received the Dec Glossy and Birch boxes and both are fab.

I mentioned my grandma earlier in the thread, unfortunately she died yesterday, me and my mum found her, she looked v peaceful like she was sleeping. I'm cheering myself up today with a child free breakfast and lash extensions

Was hoping to join you all celebrating the little drawers of wonder every day but liberty have asked me spectacularly and sent the wrong calendar-5 emails, a failed dhl collection, 2 phone calls and now on the 14th of the month without having opened any of it. So disappointed was supposed to be a lovely Christmas treat....

ReeRi · 15/12/2019 09:29

What did they send you @Whattodowithaminute?

Whattodowithaminute · 15/12/2019 09:31

They sent the beauty one-I actually wanted ‘the other’ one for my husband to have... I should have just kept the beauty one for me!

ReeRi · 15/12/2019 09:33

Oh that’s annoying, I hope you get it but it’s a bit late for an A’s by calendar so hopefully a discount it credit as well!

ReeRi · 15/12/2019 09:34

an advent calendar, that was meant to say

FatimaLovesBread · 15/12/2019 10:05

Thanks everyone, seem to have been in a daze the last few days then yesterday I had a mammoth Christmas shopping day with my mum that we'd already planned before. Today is the first day I've been able to just sit.
Got three days on my advent calendar to catch up on Smile

Babysharkdoodoodood · 17/12/2019 12:22

Well, I caved and got the Paul & Joe advent from Feelunique. £80, but I have 20% student discount so £16 off plus the free samples and delivery. I'll save it for Jadvent as I'm on the M &S one atm.

Talisin · 18/12/2019 19:37

Well I got my Next VIP sale invite but their beauty advent is not in there, although several others are.

diamondsandrose · 18/12/2019 22:18

Got Friday at 6pm for Next VIP. Not looked at the preview yet.
Even if you get the first slot and sign in on the dot..most of the good stiff from the preview is sold out. Do you think staff get in first? It always annoys me! I think how on earth can it all be instantly gone??
Sorry I digress
Hopefully some perfume gift sets will be in there, I got Elie Saab half price once ..

Bansku19 · 21/12/2019 14:46

Next advent calendar looks nice. If it goes half price I will try to get it.

Bansku19 · 24/12/2019 13:24

Next sale starts at 4pm. Maybe their calendar is reduced then. I decided to get some reduced price origins stuff instead of jadvent calendar.

ajandjjmum · 28/12/2019 10:44

I think that the Mankind Calendar was mentioned on this thread - I ordered it for DH and DB, when the price was reduced from £100 to £55 (?). I was thrilled with the quality, and DH - who is at the age where he needs to start taking care of himself, was very impressed with it.

Just thought I'd mention it for next year, if anyone is interested!

Happy New Year all - here's to Jadvent!

Good deal, down to £20, includes 20 mini polishes, 1 full size and a one nail file. Love the minis, had one calendar before and they have my favourite style of nail polish brush, fat and flat. There are 6 shades that vary from calendar to calendar so there's element of surprise.
