@MiaN

I ordered on 7th and Liberty have no shipped yet. Still marked as status open. anyone outside uk - is your order shipped or even confirmed?
I’m outside the UK and got an email and a text message yesterday to say it would be arriving on the 13th. I hope yours get shipped soon too!

Got my Liberty calendar yesterday! Grin

I used to love Britney Spears Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy but then a slightly smelly woman at work started wearing it and ruined it for me!

checkedcloth · 10/10/2020 14:45

Thank you @ithinkiveseenthisfilmbefore. The Liberty box is calling me!!

Just looked a cult beauty, might have been a mistake, feel I may need it. Did someone mention you could get offers with it ?

vanillacake2 · 10/10/2020 16:33

The cult beauty products look very small - is t worth the hype?

I really want to get another one (I have H&B) but I already have too many eye shadows and blushers....

The Benefit AC is 21% off at Lookfantastic.com with the code BENE21, so it's £46.21 posted.

I can’t remember exactly what the products in Cult Beauty are this year but I know last year they were often small sizes of massively expensive things. So I don’t think you would expect full size products. There was enough for a few proper uses though; not free sample size.

Housewife2010 · 10/10/2020 18:08

All the contents are on Really Ree.com.

TinkerPony · 10/10/2020 18:26

I tried to order advent lqncome but could not get my country in delivery ireland.

covidmonkey · 10/10/2020 19:18

Is anybody getting amazon calendar? I just checked the contents and I wouldn't use at least eight of them. So it's no from me.

Pomegranatespompom · 10/10/2020 19:37

@covidmonkey going to check it out !
Do you think either of the Jo calendars get discounted ?

Is it this one? www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/lancome-beauty-advent-calendar-2020_R03657018/?cm_mmc=PLA-_-Google-_-BEAUTY-_-LANCOME&POR=Y&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=na_na_pla-b_na_na_na_DOM_PLA-CATCHALL-SHOPTAIL-CSSTEST-W3&gclid=Cj0KCQjwt4X8BRCPARIsABmcnOpoikcd4kAwRv9FGX87UDiSYGMQjeijbZeN6c83Vht1oM6-Bf3OiHYaAlTIEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

You can order it from Selfridges I think.

Pomegranatespompom · 10/10/2020 22:44

I think I’m going to get CB- not keen on some of the make up, but potentially could swap it?

TinkerPony · 10/10/2020 22:50

Yes that it thanks i finally got through the main site using address pal took a while to work around it.

LoveEatYoga · 11/10/2020 00:12

I'm thinking we need Jadvent as well as advent threads! If I manage to hold out then my plan is to open Holland & Barrett in December and Look Fantastic in January. January can be a depressing month so I think an advent calendar is a great idea!

And Pompom I'm banking on the swap threads. I'm mostly into the make up stuff actually and there a couple of hair items I'm after this time

CountryCob · 11/10/2020 01:11

Funny time now, some already sold out, slightly over initial flurry/ have the 2 I really wanted now am thinking might just hang on and see what discounts Black Friday brings as won’t miss out now and don’t want to end up with 4, only just finishing/ using bits from the 3 I had last year... anyone else???

shinny · 11/10/2020 08:27

Been lurking on these threads and now need some advice please Smile
I want to get a calendar for my friend’s 50th. Will be getting her a keepsake gift too. Budget is £150 and I fancied LF but it’s sold out. Am looking at Fenwick or maybe John Lewis but can anyone recommend what’s the best? My friend wears some makeup and likes naice skin and hair care so I’d like a mixture of each. Any recommendations most gratefully received. Thanks

I’ve had Elle, Birchbox, Debenhams, M&S but am giving it a rest this year (just bought H&B for DD) as have too many small things to use up,

LoveEatYoga · 11/10/2020 10:16

shinny i ordered LF for myself (as well as H&B) but the other one I had my eye in was Elle. There are some good posts and videos showing what's in them - since it's not for you there's no problem with ruining the surprise so I'd just have look up what's in them and which one you think she'd like / best value for money

Sunshine I'd go for a stationary calendar too but they often seem to be expensive for what they are eg Paperchase and Kikki K

LoveEatYoga · 11/10/2020 10:47

This is nice for a stationary advent calendar and good price

etsy.me/3j8wDc5

There was one left a minute ago but it's sold out now. It says made to order so there might be more

EmpressoftheMundane · 11/10/2020 10:47

Any suggestions for teen girls? Seeing this thread makes me think chocolate won’t do anymore!

GCAcademic · 11/10/2020 10:54

Has anyone had the Kiehl’s calendar (or the one they do with Selfridges) before? I want to try more of their stuff and thought this would be a good way to do so, but don’t know whether to go for the pricier Selfridges version or the cheaper one but with what seems to be mainly sample sizes.

Pomegranatespompom · 11/10/2020 12:27

@Dailyhandtowelwash I'll look out for those perfumes
@shinny The JL one looks quite small sizes. Last year it was quite heavily discounted, might be worth waiting if that one is the preferred choice.
@LoveEatYoga I think I'v decided not to get CB now as I won't use the make up, I was interested in a lot of the skin care though..... and I do feel I need another !

Pomegranatespompom · 11/10/2020 12:30

Love that Stationary calendar, hope it comes back in stock. Did you notice the price @LoveEatYoga ?
