Beauty Advent Calendars 2020 - Part 2

[Housewife2010]

Best time of the beauty year.

@tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz - it's feel unique, not look fantastic, that has the goodie bag.

The beauty bag has sold out now on feel unique

Money saving expert has the No7 contents, box is nice but very similar to the past and I still haven’t used primer from last time. Still like the look of Elle if it gets cheaper but deep down I know I do not need another. H&B so far and the AS0S 12 day for Janvent. I am hoping an Elle discount/ Debenhams style deal comes up too... I have lots of actual Christmas presents to buy so could afford it but would be better buying other things. Plus for me 3 was a bit much last time. On the other hand I have had moisturiser all year, but not necessarily stuff I really love. If I wanted to splurge the white company one does look nice....

I thought the offer was on Look Fantastic too for some reason

I was interested in the No 7 for my Mum but the skincare items all look tiny

I might look out for the No7 sets in Boots instead as sometimes they are quite good

Let's not forget the Boots star gifts!

Thanks to these threads, I have now added the Arran one to my stash. Couldn't resist at £40 and a free discovery set, which I'm kidding myself I can give away as a gift.
I now have the Body Shop, Rituals and Arran and I NEED TO STOP NOW!

Doh yes meant that!

@ithinkiveseenthisfilmbefore and @OchonAgusOchonO thank you both - between your posts I worked out to get the Lumene calendar, beauty bag, face masks and a few samples for £90 ish with the 15% voucher (to ROI). Never used Lumeme before but the reviews are good.

I guess I'm a lost cause when I know my CC # off by heart .

The beauty bag looks brilliant- bit worried if it's showing as sold out, cos I only completed the order 10 mins ago and it's definitely on my order summary .

Fingers crossed all the beauty bags arrive.

I've had the Lumene calendar for the past two years; I get on quite well with their products.

If it's on your order summary you should get it, they count it as regular stock in the way that once the amount they have are allocated it shows out of stock and will not show up on any orders.

Just been going through the Boots Christmas gift guide and I see that Boots is / will be stocking the Rituals advent calendar- this is another tempting one.

Bought my liberty one earlier - available a bit earlier than I’d anticipated.

How have I not seen this thread before

I was just thinking I'd go for the Liberty one... added it to my basket... then discovered the price in euros is a whopping €250! And apparently no way to pay in pounds and have it delivered to Europe. For that price I could have it delivered to the UK and buy it a seat on easyJet Very annoying as I want to use a UK card and would end up losing out on the currency transfer as well as the inflated price.

Any international people here who have found a way round this? It's worked fine in previous years.

Morning all, just ordered Liberty, from the EU. I’m not sure if there is a way round the €250 price mountaindweller. They have however dropped the extortionate delivery price from last year, but it’s obviously not been covered in the increased euro price.

Now been covered, that should have been!

Liberty advent calendar ordered. ✅

Was really torn between the Space NK one and my traditional Liberty purchase this year.

Space NK contents equally good but the packaging not great and didn't like that it came in two parts.

Purchased Liberty, no email notification that it had been released, despite signing up.

I couldn't resist liberty! I have to say I am advent fan and I felt at least one year I should have the liberty one!

I received order confirmation immediately

Urgh so annoying....was just about to check out Liberty when it came up that it was no longer in stock and was removed from my basket.😭

Ah well..a couple of hundred saved I guess. I'll try to look on the bright side.

try again, it appears in stock

Ooohhh does it Mia? Ok I'll keep a tap open for it. Thanks!

I would start gain, it lets me go to check out and select few. I don't think LIberty sells as fast anymore

I’m going to look at the Arran one too.
Good luck with liberty orders today.

Tried to order Liberty on iPad, came up as out of stock (twice)
Tried again on my phone....got one... hooray! My biggest luxury of the year. Had one for last 2 years, really fabulous quality products!

Trying to get a Liberty one too but out of stock. Really annoying, I only got the email from them at 06.55am!

I had the same issue with the Liberty calendar - had to try a fair few times but eventually it let me purchase it. Phew.

And now I feel ashamed that I've spent so much money on a frippery!
