Hi GrafittiQueen! Are you typing it in in full ie: Latest in Beauty?

Sorry if that sounds daft!

Hope this link works if not......

www.topcashback.co.uk/latest-in-beauty/

Best of luck :)

LEELULUMPKIN · 26/11/2019 12:29

Also, forgot to say as well as Topcashback put TREATYOURSELF in in the the promo code and you will get another £4:25 off it, which more than covers your P&P.

I was trying to be good but just broke and bought the latest in beauty calendar. Stupidly forgot about top cashback though Sad

professionalnomad · 26/11/2019 14:23

Who just enabled me to buy two beauty boxes from Latest in Beauty?
Who was it? Wink

Grafittiqueen · 26/11/2019 14:48

@LEELULUMPKIN thanks! Managed to get one with the discount code and topcashback. Thankfully for my bank balance the liberty one had sold out today as I'd finally caved and decided I would get it!

eatsleepmoverepeat · 26/11/2019 15:22

I’m so glad Liberty has gone. I definitely don’t need it but I did keep going back for a look

eatsleepmoverepeat · 26/11/2019 15:29

Did anyone buy the Fenwick calendar? If so, how long did it take for it to be despatched? Ordered Saturday and heard nothing since.

Luckingfovely · 26/11/2019 16:45

You are all very bad influences Grin Just ordered both Grazia and LIB!!

g1c2d3 · 26/11/2019 17:27

My Elemis and DH’s Mankind arrived today. Both look beautiful. I only peeked in the Mankind one just to check all is in order. Now I can’t wait for Sunday!

Bansku19 · 26/11/2019 18:23

I am doing well. I haven't bought any new calendars. I was tempted by bodyshop calendar too, because I like their scents in shampoos etc. But I got the Black Friday special so I am sorted.

Bansku19 · 26/11/2019 18:29

Just saw in my amazon wish list that their calendar is available on 6th of December. A bit late...

FadingStar · 26/11/2019 18:29

Aaarrrgh Lee why did you have to mention Molton Brown?? 😂😂 I've been lusting over that one and not sure I can resist!!

FredaFox · 26/11/2019 18:41

So that's the Grazia bought To go along with my birchbox🙈
I still wish I'd got the look fantastic one
No will John Lewis come down from 105????

SouthWestmom · 26/11/2019 19:39

I really want the grazia one now..:

SouthWestmom · 26/11/2019 19:39

The Macmillan one looks fab so I'm super happy with that for Dd.

applecatchers36 · 26/11/2019 20:23

Just ordered the Elemis 12 day one with the 30% off couldn't resist as was still in stock 🤫

LEELULUMPKIN · 26/11/2019 22:55

Sorry Fading! If it sways you any, I decided against the MB one this year. DH bought it me last year and it was brilliant with 2 full size eau de toilette's in it. Lots of lovely smells etc.

I have had a look instore at this years and it is nowhere near as good IMO.

Sammi38 · 26/11/2019 23:01

roll on 1st December! Can’t wait to start opening my stash!!

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 26/11/2019 23:33

I agree, Sammi! Cannot wait until Sunday :)

Writersblock2 · 27/11/2019 01:48

I’m trying to ignore this thread and clearly failing!

@LEELULUMPKIN your earlier thread had me in stitches. I tried to persuade DH to let me buy him a bloke calendar to ease my guilt but he’s only caved in on a chocolate one. Whatever! I’ll open my four beauty ones and make him jealous.

I also tried to justify it with the holiday thing...Grin

So this top cash thingy. Better than Quidco? Can be used alongside? Do tell!

Well, oops? Looks like a certain half price calendar using topcashback and the approve promo fell into my basket.

I’ll pretend that didn’t happen. At least I can hide it by pretending it’s a Xmas gift. Maybe.

Thanks Lee that does help! I have an optician appointment so will spend the money on specs instead!😂

LEELULUMPKIN · 27/11/2019 07:54

Writers - You should have just got it him and surprised him, however, maybe there was a bit of self sabotage going on?! lol!

I have got my DH the Mankind one but it's a surprise as I know he would say he didn't want it if I told him in advance.

Oh and the holiday justification (excuse!) is REAL :)

Never used Quidco, just Topcashback but looking at them both TC are doing 15% on LIB as opposed to 6.9% on QC.

And no, you wouldn't be able to get both as you have to click through each site.

Fading - I don't think you will regret it. It's a good deal if you don't have any others but compared to last yrs it is a very poor show.

Then again you could always get a pair of specs from the pound shop AND the calendar! lol! :)

Housewife2010 · 27/11/2019 08:20

I'm surprised the Grazia calendar hasn't sold out yet.
