Here’s a link to the old thread:

That's right. There was a lot of press about it being a bargain at £40 and people going mad for it a couple of weeks ago so it sold out and people are reselling at higher prices to try and cash in on the 'panic buy'.

Fingers crossed Amazon themselves will have it back for Friday and it'll be £30 as it has been other years :)

Thank you @RenardeRenarde I have got my half price Grazia. Delighted. Will need to start a Grazia day by day thread !

Ended up also getting the autumn/sleep bundle which was 28 products for £35 , lots of them are full sizes, and some expensive brands. I could either open them one by one as a kind of extra advent or maybe keep for January as they are all really nice pamper type products

I ordered the Grazia Advent and the Sleep box. I got the Sleep Box for £15 ( which I was very happy with) as I had been sent a £10 off voucher with a previous box.

. I've bought my first ever non chocolate non picture one so I am looking forward it. Especially as I've started taking better care of my skin.

Just seen this Soul Beauty Advent calendar 50% off on Very if anyone is after beauty tools. £40 down from £80.

No idea if the brand is any good?

Just thought I would post anyway!

There is also this, which might be good for the younger market?

I got the Autumn/Sleep box too, I didn’t fancy the grazia advent as much. I’m going to wrap them up as a gift to myself without opening them so it’s a surprise

If anyone's in Ireland, last year's Charlotte Tilbury one is €129.50, down from €185
I think it went down to €90 on Black Friday last year? 😬

Don't forget! If anyone is buying from the LIB site, there is currently 15% cashback on Topcashback.

If I have done my sums right that makes the grazia calendar £36.13!

And for those of you buying the Autumn/sleep boxes you will pay just £29.75 instead of £35.

Thanks everyone....just ordered the sleep autumn bundle through topcashback. Like a PP going to wrap it for myself. It's so dangerous being on this thread.

Agreed Fading! However my philosophy at this stage in my life is "you are a long time dead!"

Enjoy your stash everyone :)

Ahh missed all that - usually got it for £30 for dd. Will be miffed to miss it this year:

Thanks Lee, I bought the grazia calendar before signing up for topcashback, but have registered now, so may treat my dd to the LIB calendar, my maths work it out to be £40 with the cash back offer.

Haha yes so true Lee. And the beauty offers around Christmas aren't seen again the rest of the year! I'm just mad about beauty products I can't help it!😂😊

That’s with the cash back offer of 20% for latest in beauty.

Just to add, I’m a bit miffed with myself for not signing up earlier, I’ve spent quite a large chunk of cash on Alexa devices over the last few days, and just saw I could get a few percent cash back, ahh well. At least I know now for the future.

I tell everyone I meet now about Topcashback! Even strangers! It really is money for the proverbial old rope. I was sceptical about it but my DH swore by it, so I gave it a go and in just under 12 months my payout stands at £331.87!

Not an amount to be sniffed at by anyone's reckoning.

My lovely DH has just had the John Lewis one delivered for me as a suprise 🤩

@Sparklyring that would never come to my dh's mind! He bought me M&S because I told him so...

I managed to resist Grazia. I am twitching to buy the body shop Black Friday bundle.

I’ve never tried a cash back thing. Maybe I should?!

More important what is a sleep bundle and where can I get one? 😬

Does anyone know if Holland and Barrett came back in stock last year?

It’s the only one I get and save up for but due to health nonsense just completely missed it this year

Trying to keep myself from sulking because a number of my colleagues decided to buy it ‘just cos it’s cheap’, despite having several other beauty calendars already. So now I’ll have to avoid the daily reveal of each item they ‘don’t plan to use but will put away’.

The sleep bundle is a special offer on the Latest in Beauty site, I bought it alongside an autumn box for a special price of £35

Obvs stuff they are getting rid of but who cares!

Wombatty, just PM'd you :)

ReeRi - Deffo do the cashback thing.

Elle is sold out
