Beauty Advent Calendars 2020 - Part 2

[Housewife2010]

Best time of the beauty year.

My lumene calendar and beauty hag are on the van. Should be here today. So excited.

Ochon lol at beauty hag - that's what we all are! We will not look like hags after this lot tho 😂

@clary - It's just arrived. I will no longer be a beauty hag 🤣

My Cult Beauty Advent Calendar has just arrived!

😂😂😍😍

Has anyone's LF been dispatched yet? I got an email saying mine should be dispatched within 48 hours.

My LF was showing as ‘being processed’ this morning but now I’ve received an email apologising for the delay and the order status is back to ‘placed’.

I had the same email, Ochon.

And the delay in LF is making me drool over Space NK, and that’s a worry... it would be my 4th.

Yh I've had this email too about LF.

Mentioned LF to DH last night and he was clearly shocked at the price 😂😂

@OchonAgusOchonO My LF was dispatched yesterday. I ordered it just before it went out of stock, so after you (I had been following the thread). You would think they would dispatch in order of first orders.
I'm in Ireland too (guessing from your username).
I'm sure you'll have it very soon

Yeah. I just told dh, who was querying the large box, that it was basically free as I'll be sorted for skincare for the year.

You would think that wouldn't you? Ah well, hopefully it will be here by early next week.

Yes, I'm in Ireland. Not at all obvious from the username

I ordered fairly early!

@foilflower

I ordered fairly early!

So looks like they're doing last in, first out. So much for the early bird getting the worm

Cult beauty has arrived! Massive box

My LF order status is "order placed". I don't mind how long it takes to get here as long as it does but I can't help but worry after reading about cancelled orders (though not LF as I recall)

Has anyone seen the Beaverbrooks diamond a day advent calendar retailing at £100,000? Showed it to DH to explain why £240 for Net a Porter was quite reasonable really!

My CB has arrived too! I ran home from work at lunchtime because they said it has been delivered
I want to open it all but have sensibly put it away for now 😳

My CB calendar is with Hermes. My guilt has dissipated as buying it has stopped me buying Diptyque, and my advent calendar buying is done for the year.

Haven't seen the Diamond one but I recall there was a Tiffany one maybe last year?

Those who got the birthday beauty bag with Feel Unique .. my stash arrived today > woo hoo < but I'm going to wrap the bag and contents up and keep it as a gift to myself on Christmas Day.

If I get DH to do a count of the contents to check it's all there, how many items should there be?

Really pleased overall ... the Lumene calendar is in a lovely box and with discount codes and actual product reductions I ended up with -

Superfacialist Vit C an oil cleanser,

Benefit High brow pencil

X 2 Kiko mascaras

All of which I'll use for £12 extra! Plus the little Lumene cream and x 2 random samples. Bonkers !

I won't lie though I still have CB envy and will be drooling over the December thread to hear all about the contents! The By Terry one looked gorgeous and the price didn't seem too bad and there was a 10% off code for newbies so that would be £15 off. I may watch for that one next year.

Housewife thanks for the post about the Perfume Society mixed box. I ordered it, and it’s just arrived. Lots of samples which are great, and its excellent value with the Escentric O4 included. The anti bac spray is a good size and there’s even a cute little deodorant stick ideal for a handbag. That’s it now though, I am done. Probably.

My CB was supposed to be delivered today but just checked the tracking and it’s come up as “delayed”. I know it’s only an advent calendar but I’ll be really upset if it doesn’t arrive safely tomorrow.

My CB has been delivered. Advice please - if you were 26 would you prefer Cult Beauty or Look Fantastic?
