Beauty Advent Calendars 2020 - Part 2

[Housewife2010]

Best time of the beauty year.

I ventured on to the covid board - I am coming back to the safety of here !
Has anyone tried the molecules 03 perfume? Debating the perfume box previously linked.

SymphonyofShadows I'm happy to help. Their boxes are so lovely. I'm pleased you like it.

@SymphonyofShadows have you tried the Escentric perfume yet ?

Pomegranate yes I have. It's horrible. Smells like a wet forest floor.

At least I think it was 03...passed it to my mum.

Oh dear - that doesn’t sound good !

My CB calendar has arrived and was actually left in a secure place! Makes a change, we must have a new Hermes delivery driver round here.

ajandjj Cult Beauty has higher value products but is also more expensive so depends on budget

I have gone for LF I am not 26 but not sure that makes a difference

Haven't Cult Beauty and Look Fantastic both sold out though?

Yes, but I bought both, intending to keep one for January and give one to DD. Just not sure which!

Keep Cult Beauty for you. There are 2 or 3 products that are targeted for younger skin and you can give to her but the rest I think will be better for you

Thanks Mia - I like your advice!

Yes, I would give you DD the LF one - it's a gorgeous calendar by the looks of it and she will love it, and you get to keep the expensive one for yourself.

Is anyone going for BeautyExpert? It's such a funny mix of products I'd love to try, along with others I don't like the look of at all. Not sure.

I wasn't keen on the contents of the Beauty Expert set. Avant seems to be a brand that is put in boxes and calendars to greatly increase the value but I never hear of it any other time. Have you seen this set? I've bought this and would definitely recommend it. www.beautyexpert.com/beauty-box/beauty-expert-serenity-edit-worth-over-220.00/12444897.html

Housewife yes I was looking at that last night when browsing the calendar and asked my DH to get if for me as a Christmas present! I'm a huge fan of Korres, Gatineau and Rodial. It's a lovely looking little box I think.

Yes I know what you mean about Avant. I find the pricing really odd as the ingredients seem pretty standard and tbh, none of the products I have tried out of the range have seemed that special or remarkable. They constantly show up in boxes and calendars.

Does anyone have any codes/tips that are working now for the Feel unique calendar or have I missed it?
local and international - buying both!!
thank you

Pomegranates not yet. It’s No4 and I’ve already got the No1 so I’m saving it.

anyone feel that the netaporter did a trick with the sell out moment, just so they can increase the hype? It's available all the time now

Here's another Advent Calendar- Roccabox. I'm not impressed. It has the infamous Avant in too which seems to be manufactured purely to increase the calendar's value. roccabox.co.uk/blogs/news/spoiler-the-roccabox-advent-calendar-reveal?utm_campaign=Advent%20Page%20Sign%20Up%202%20%28VeZd67%29&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Roccabox%20Newsletter%20Subscribers&_ke=eyJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJyb2JlcnRhbmRzb3BoaWViaXJkQGJ0aW50ZXJuZXQuY29tIiwgImtsX2NvbXBhbnlfaWQiOiAiUWtMVHJLIn0%3D

My sister, best kind, bought me a Liberty's beauty calendar. If anyone wants to swap Santal 33 for anything especially candles, bath stuff, or nail stuff - and also the Nars lip product - just message me.

I know the Le Labo perfume is one of the most expensive bits, but I don't like it on me.

That is from any calendar btw...

I'm not impressed either. And I note they 'cleverly' don't include a price anywhere on the page, just the 'value' of the box.

Hey guys, can we keep this spoiler free please in line with what the OP of the first thread wanted?

Even referring to an eyeshadow palette without details of the brand or colours could spoil it for someone. I’ve opened all my Liberty as I bought it for that purpose, but I pre-ordered my Looks Fantastic Callander without knowing the contents and I’m looking forward to having a surprise every day in December.

I agree, no spoilers please

I can’t decide which calendar to get for my 2nd. I wish I’d splurged on F&M now.
I tend to wear the same make up (bare minerals/Laura Mercier/Bobbi Brown) so not really tempted by a make up heavy one.
