I did buy two of the mystery boxes for £5 each. I am up for a gamble!

I'm a subscriber and can't see the advent calendar? Is it in the lounge?

Butterymuffin I didn’t get it in the end. I thought I was a subscriber but I must have changed to the one box thing.

I had last year’s Glossybox advent calendar and really liked it. The Christmas Day item was particularly nice.

I’ve got the dentist today so I may succumb to something else if I feel sorry for myself.

Thanks tetraread 😊 think I will cancel after the Xmas one, too much already.

I did the same buttery, I wasn't overly interested in the black Friday content so have bought 2 mystery boxes (for what turned out to be £1.25 inc postage thanks to credit) so if they're the same as ones I've had I'll give them to my cousin who loves make up and skincare too.

Good look symphony! I sympathise, I'm not a dentist fan

Luck*

Thanks Cotton, I know I‘ll need work as I have a broken bit at the back, on a wisdom tooth I think. I’m serene though, thinking about my haul.

@CottonHeadedNinyMuggins I'd stick with Glossybox, although keep an eye out for birchbox offers lol! Can anyone see if the glossy calendar from last year is still in stock? I've been a subscriber for 6 months so should be able to access the lounge but still can't

Symphony you poor bugger! I had an impacted wisdom tooth once that didn't grow a back or top. I feel your pain! It's much better than the alternative though!

Tetra, I've finally found it but it's sold out unfortunately! www.glossybox.co.uk/beauty-box/glossybox-beauty-advent-calendar-2018/11730163.html

Ah thank you, I figured it would have done, but prompts me to message them to get it sorted! I wanted this year's, but being on mat leave money's a bit tight, last year's would have been great but nevermind, all part of the fun of hunting down bargains . Someone has got me a 12 months sub though for Christmas, at the moment it's 20% off, so think it was about £105 for 12 which seems good!

It wasn't in the Lounge on mine, I couldn't find it and checked all over the site. Ot only popped up on mine when I searched for it in the search box

Also good luck @SymphonyofShadows, find something to treat yourself after!

Lucky you tetra, think that makes it about 8.75 a month? Bargain

Has anyone ever bought say 6 of the £5 mystery boxes from glossybox and if so, were they all the same? TIA.

There's no guarantee that they will be different, but you never know! If you normally like the products in most boxes then at least if you do get the same you will use it.

Someone bought 7 boxes when Birchbox did this type of offer and they were all the same! They weren't happy. The unboxing is on YouTube.

Thanks for that both Tetra and Buttery.

They are not for me (honestly) thanks to the evil influences of Tetra I signed up for the Birchbox 2 box £7:95 offer, so that and the 5 calendars I currently have are more than enough to be going on with!

No, I was thinking of getting them for my DS's Teacher and PA's, so if they are all the same it doesn't really matter, I was just curious.

I do have a dilemma though, I am also tempted to go for some beauty crackers instead.

This is the choice.........

Look Fantastic box of 6 £21
Birch Box 2 boxes of 4 £30 (this would leave 2 over I could give my DSis's
or
6 x £5 mystery Glossyboxes.

What you any of you do?

Again, TIA :)

Lmao pleased to be of service . Remember to cancel if you haven't though so it doesn't renew, I waited 24 hours to be sure but have done it now, and the 2 boxes are still on their way. If they are for different people I would go for either, Glossyboxes might have the edge for me, but that's only as I sub so know what the boxes have been like. Again, BB are good when on offer but I always end up cancelling.

Mankind's Christmas collection is now 45% off with the code XMAS45

That makes it £55 with free delivery, contents value over £370.

Just got one for DH as I am so chuffed with the advent calendar.

Also forgot to say, don't forget to go through topcashback as you will get a bit more off depending on your customer status.

THAT IS IT! I've now also got 6 chuffin mystery glossyboxes on their way all thanks (blame) to Tetra.

Time. To. Step. Away. From. The. PC.............................................

Thanks Tetra and Cotton. Temp filling with a wisdom tooth extraction to come, but that’s not until after Christmas probably, so I’m ignoring it.

I’m done unless I come across some bargain box of fabulousness today, nothing is shouting at me though. I was tempted by the LF box though. Birch Box couldn’t fulfill all the orders last BF so I ended up getting a refund IIRC. There was a thread about it.

Jadvent !!!!

What a bloody brilliant idea

I managed to pick up a Lego advent calendar for a fiver today, the extent of my adventness! Excited to hear what you all get on Monday though. And what the mystery boxes are like!
