Thought I’d better start a thread for this beauty. No spoilers please! Only post in each appropriate day.

Swaps etc. allowed. Grin

Didn’t get one - managed to get one in my basket but couldn’t complete as the site crashed repeatedly Sad

Writersblock2 · 12/10/2020 18:55

I’m sorry to hear that. :(

I'll join you. Mine arrived today. Last year I had the Liberty one so interested to see how this compares. I think I'm doing well limiting myself to one .... (not counting chocolate ones!)

Writersblock2 · 13/10/2020 14:20

@LizzieMacQueen You’re doing very well! Mine is meant to be due tomorrow but my Hermes has been so rubbish lately. I’m a little worried.

And it’s here! It’s so heavy!

Ladies, many are reporting the item in day 19 is damaged. If you don't mind spoilers, check yours and contact customer service if any issues

Writersblock2 · 14/10/2020 12:31

Thanks. I’d rather wait and see. Surely they’d expect most wont open until December.

MiaN · 14/10/2020 13:04

yes, I am sure if there are any issues they will sort them out even if it's January

LizzieMacQueen · 14/10/2020 14:08

Can I ask @MiaN - is the damage caused likely to affect the other items? Ie moisture damage.

PM me if you don't want to answer here. Thanks 😀

MiaN · 14/10/2020 14:14

no, it won't.

Innermagic · 14/10/2020 14:52

I've opened no19 and yes it was damaged 😕 emailed them but not had a reply yet, it's not wet so won't Damage anything else.

MiaN · 15/10/2020 06:15

They will sort it out I am sure, their customer service is superb. They emailed me back and reordered replacement for me

MiaN · 15/10/2020 06:19

I wasn't sure to mentioned or not but I have a feeling that the item arrives damaged for everyone, as everyone that have checked or made reveal video said it is. I read they are replacing the item you request. It's all good to say I want surprise but broken item so close to christmas is not part of the surprise I personally am after and I decided to share it here.

However, I have no doubt they will replace it for you in January or if lucky with the post end of December. I am impressed by their customer service!

Innermagic · 15/10/2020 08:15

True, I've had an email offering replacement or a credit for the value of the item on your cult Beauty account. Just hope the replacement arrives intact

Housewife2010 · 15/10/2020 09:46

Thanks for letting me know. Apparently one particular item is missing from some of the calendars. I know the item but not the day. I think I'll ask my husband or daughter to check all the drawers and to open and check number 19 tonight. I don't want to check as it's my birthday present next month and I don't want to spoil it.

MiaN · 15/10/2020 13:22

the golden ticket maybe :)

it would be nice to win it, righ?

Bananaman123 · 15/10/2020 17:27

My no 19 is ok. I went through and checked everything was ok when it arrived, all seems to be there. I cant even remember whats in each day nkw

MiaN · 15/10/2020 18:08

They have shipped another one for me so I don't mind. I am honestly impressed by their customer service compared to issue I am dealing with Liberty right now

stepmotherofone · 15/10/2020 18:16

Mine was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday and is stuck somewhere with Hermes still. Still not had a response from either CB or Hermes but really hope it turns up!

Jillyg30 · 25/10/2020 16:00

The bottom three drawers of my calendar were all empty just stuffing inside. I only checked as I heard about no19 blusher being broken, which mine was and decided to check everything else.

So disappointed I have emailed cult beauty 😭

HotSince63 · 29/11/2020 16:28

Just been linked to this thread from another calendar thread.

I haven't checked mine - I think I will now Shock

HotSince63 · 29/11/2020 16:54

All drawers have something in them. I didn't look too closely at each item.

Dailyhandtowelwash · 29/11/2020 23:37

Reporting for calendar duty. Glad to see so many people here - I was one of two of us last year (I think) reporting on CB. I wasn’t going to buy it this year but had a FOMO twitch on the day. I haven’t checked it at all, but will have a quick peek at day 19 tomorrow when I get it out of the packing box so thanks for the tip.

Keepsmiling1 · 30/11/2020 17:51

I'm just place marking. Got Cult Beauty after seeing the contents last year and I'm really excited to open it tomorrow!

Housewife2010 · 30/11/2020 18:02

Mine is unboxed and on the window sill waiting for breakfast time tomorrow. I had to be string and not look in the accompanying booklet. I posted over all the items before buying it, but I've tried to forget them after buying it.
