I would have liked the Space NK AC, that was my favourite, but didn't get it when they had all the discount codes so was a bit meh buying it at the full price after. It would have riled me too much.

Pomegranatespompom · 03/11/2020 10:35

Pleasure @ShortSilence hope you enjoy. Is the CB amazing ??
I’ve ordered the vanilla so will let you know @EatPrayYoga
Final day for GWP @ cult beauty but I think I’m veering towards the JL box - I can buy Christmas gifts to justify it (although also did that with the liberty GWP).
That’s harsh @ajandjjmum you would hope they’d be flexible about that baring in mind your spend, I’m not going to add up mine ....

ajandjjmum · 03/11/2020 10:41

I'm a JL member too - for what it's worth Flying! Grin.

Should say my spend is along the lines of 5 dishwashers, 7 fridge freezers etc. We buy from JL as we are able to pass on the five year guarantee to clients. Not because I am continually tempted by beauty boxes!

I've just bought the Elemis set from QVC. I got the £10 with the code MNEW10 posted upthread. I was debating between that and the neroli but decided on rose in the end.

FlyingByTheSeatof · 03/11/2020 10:48

I guessed you were a member otherwise be a bit strange and random you emailing them otherwise @ajandjjmum Grin

I wish we could pick and mix items for an advent calendar.

Pomegranatespompom · 03/11/2020 10:51

That would be amazing @FlyingByTheSeatof
No black eyeliners or tiny sample sizes.

EatPrayYoga · 03/11/2020 10:58

Thanks Pom but it will probably not be on offer by the time you receive yours Grin

I think I'm going to leave it. I am tempted but I end up buying so much from QVC with their offers...

FlyingByTheSeatof · 03/11/2020 10:59

@Pomegranatespompom ha yes to black eyeliner - I never use black eyeliner or most hair products (hair too fine) most of the lipsticks don't usually suit me either but they all suit DD colouring Confused

AsPerMyLastEmail · 03/11/2020 11:17

I can’t see the John Lewis box either although I’m a new member. I’ve tried searching for it with ‘winter box’ but can’t! Any tips on what search terms to use @FlyingByTheSeatof ?

TeatimeAtCloppa · 03/11/2020 11:26

AsPer I emailed John Lewis as I couldn't get logged on to buy the box and they emailed me this morning (I emailed on Saturday) to ask me a string of questions about cookies and cache blah blah but they also said I missed out on the box as it is now sold out. 😭

AsPerMyLastEmail · 03/11/2020 11:27

Oh no! Well, their loss Grin

FlyingByTheSeatof · 03/11/2020 12:07

@AsPerMyLastEmail it might not show up any more now it's sold out. I just used winter box to search like you. It did take me a few goes to get it in my basket to sync with the AC and code.

FlyingByTheSeatof · 03/11/2020 12:08

I ordered mine on Saturday afternoon - I think there were online issues earlier on that day

TeatimeAtCloppa · 03/11/2020 12:12

I still can't get on with my old account. I've created another account as I want to buy some clothes and pyjamas for the kids for Christmas. I will forgive John Lewis this time but they better not do it again.😂

XmasLockdown · 03/11/2020 18:40

Molton brown £122.50 in John Lewis in store

Butterymuffin · 03/11/2020 22:17

@ajandjjmumj That's so snarky! I would reply and point out your spend and say you'd like to know what would merit you becoming a select member before you make a final decision about taking your custom elsewhere.

There don’t seem to be as many gift sets around for Christmas, maybe it’s too early ?

LaBrujaPiruja · 04/11/2020 11:15

No sign of the LF ACs, their customer service is useless. I don’t know what they are playing at but it is not funny at all.

Pomegranatespompom · 04/11/2020 12:45

My Elemis has arrived -looks fab. I will try and resist anything else now.

The vanilla doesn’t smell that sweet @EatPrayYoga

Have you tried twitter? I got nowhere with email and it took a lot of persistence with twitter. I still have no explanation for why it didn't ship within the two days they emailed me about 3 weeks ago but they seem to have some that they are still filling.

I went to town today and John Lewis had 30% off John Lewis, Cow something and Molton brown calendars. M&S had loads of Beauty boxes around the shop.
