I got the cheaper l’occitane one. I quite like the little sample sizes. Great for the gym and weekends away. Let’s not linger on the fact that my gym doesn’t allow showers and there are no trips away right now...

I just booked at the m and S beauty box - the only thing I’d use is the perfect day hair product. So I think I’ll give that a miss too. Bit rubbish m&s!!!

I'm going to give it a swerve too -3 hair care products that I won't use, and I'm not that bothered by nail stuff either. Shame as I really liked the summer box - I used that Pure day cream all the time now, it's lovely.
Butterymuffin · 06/10/2020 13:57

I wasn't impressed with the M&S box at all. Mostly the more pedestrian, often repeated calendar items, without any of the more distinctive bits or the excitement of the calendar itself. No thanks.

covidmonkey · 06/10/2020 13:58

@Pomegranatespompom Where can one see what the M&S's beauty box has on it?

I would like to have l'occitane calendar but it has too many hand creams, which I won't use.

Butterymuffin · 06/10/2020 13:58

And I had the summer box and enjoyed that. This one's inferior.

[quote ithinkiveseenthisfilmbefore]Have ordered a Lumene calendar. Smashing deal! Ordered the calender and a bit of makeup I am almost out of to push it up over £100, used the 20% off code that's still valid online, and also got 2 free gifts with the order: Lumene lotion AND a £105 FeelUnique Exclusive Birthday Bag of treats! Feeling rather chuffed about the whole thing.

What is the 20% code please @ithinkiveseenthisfilmbefore

Tippexy · 06/10/2020 14:09

Oh I've found it, but once you apply the 20% off code to bring the order under £100, it removes the birthday gift set. Oh well!

DianaPrinceRocks · 06/10/2020 14:23

@Tippexy can you point me to the code please? I've been trying to search too but can't find it...

@Tippexy

Oh I've found it, but once you apply the 20% off code to bring the order under £100, it removes the birthday gift set. Oh well!
But if you add something else to bring it over the 100, you'll get the gift set back.
ithinkiveseenthisfilmbefore · 06/10/2020 16:22

YAH20 gets you 21% off.

Add something to top up to over £100. You get more nice stuff for less!

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 06/10/2020 16:38

Oooh what's the LF 20% code? I was dead set on CB but the value for LF is excellent!

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 06/10/2020 16:40

Sorry ithink x post Grin

tigwatigwa · 06/10/2020 16:44

Is anyone getting the MAC advent calendar? I'm thinking of getting it.

DillieDoily · 06/10/2020 16:53

Just caved and ordered the John Lewis calendar with that £20 off code... so much more expensive than my usual M&S one but it looks lovely

Roastbeefandyorkshires · 06/10/2020 16:58

@Babysharkdoodoodood

Code for John Lewis £20 off £120 if you're a JL member. I think you can only get the advent via the app atm. * 20OFF120*
Thanks for code. I wasn't aware there was a discount for JL members. You're saved me £20! Smile
LoveEatYoga · 06/10/2020 18:54

I haven't seen anything about the Mac calendar but I just looked it up and it looks quite good

Is there Nars advent calendar this year? I can't find anything about it

Writersblock2 · 06/10/2020 19:09

I need to stop looking. I’ve got SpaceNK and H&B here, with Look Fantastic OM the way, and hubby got me Lush for Xmas. Still tempted by CB when it’s released. Stop me!!!

Itsabeautifuldaytosavelives123 · 06/10/2020 19:11

@Luvacuppatea

Anyone else got early access to the Liberty calendar? I’m so, so tempted now.........
How do you get that? Does anyone know what time it releases tomorrow? I'll get an email, but I'm at work so need to know what time to be on the look out Grin
Pomegranatespompom · 06/10/2020 19:15

@covidmonkey I just googled m&S beauty box Oct 2020

@Itsabeautifuldaytosavelives123 I had early access too, probably because I've ordered previously? It comes out at midnight normally. Last year sold out after about 3 days.

Itsabeautifuldaytosavelives123 · 06/10/2020 19:17

Oh if I can order pre work that's even better, thank you Grin

Pomegranatespompom · 06/10/2020 19:27

I've ordered about 0530 last year.
Exciting !

chloechloe · 06/10/2020 19:46

I’m gearing up to buy Liberty tomorrow too. I’ve finally decided on that one, on the basis that I’ll buy a few of the makeup bits I like the look of in the CB calendar when they do a GWP in a few months.

I will NOT buy the CB as well although I am very tempted!

LoveEatYoga · 06/10/2020 20:01

No more Writer you've got enough for the advent excitement. Save your money for something else! Grin

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 06/10/2020 20:17

Aggghh after dithering I decided to get the Lumene one with goodies from LF but even tho my spend at checkout is £100+ the free Beaty bag has disappeared! Sad
