The hunt continues! We await Black Friday developments.

That's the logic I used @EatPrayYoga. This thread has already led me astray with Liberty calendar and I like the pick and mix option of the jewellery one.
I'd wear it all except maybe the bracelets.

The John Lewis jewellery AC looks good - quite a clever idea to fill it with pieces you can combine. I can’t justify it though, having bought lots of Monika Vinader bits whenever there’s a discount code going round.

I’m really enjoying my Lumene calendar and have even been using bits of it straight away rather than putting them on one side. Such a great brand - thanks ladies for introducing me to it!

This site has links to some deals (I think someone mentioned it before) beautyadventcalendar.net/black-friday/

HedgieHog · 15/11/2020 08:27

Aww I’ve missed this, just caught up on 6 pages
Still can’t believe the LF calendars haven’t arrived! Hopefully any day now
I’m opening the pretty little thing calendar, I’d say it’s great for teens/20s, I’ve been using a few things, got some ready to pass on to a friends daughter
LF for Dec, can’t wait for the thread
Was thinking I’ll grab a Black Friday deal but suspect there will be nothing left, all the usual BF desks are already on inc 20% Selfridges
I’ve got the Neom candles, missed the Elemis deal, will scope qvc out see what’s happening 😂

MiaN · 15/11/2020 09:14

LF really messed up their deliveries, hope all get it on time

If you have ETA 3rd, would you not just join the chats from day 3 and open day 1 and 2 after? Just alternative to opening another discussion. I am sure that the rest of the forum will agree that no spoilers for the previous days once the chat gets to day 3/4

Crazybunnylady123 · 15/11/2020 09:24

I have the Holland & Barratt one, can anybody recommend another cruelty free one please apart from body shop?
Thanks

OchonAgusOchonO · 15/11/2020 09:34

@MiaN - If you have ETA 3rd, would you not just join the chats from day 3

That's my plan. However, they've updated the ETA to 19-21/11 so I'll hopefully be joining on the 1st. That said, I'm not holding my breath as it still hasn't budged from Wroclaw since it shipped on Thursday. UPS haven't yet received it.

EatPrayYoga · 15/11/2020 10:40

Thanks for that link Ochon

The MAC deal is good but I previously got the £25 for the mascara and palette and barely used it. Still good for £50

OchonAgusOchonO · 15/11/2020 10:43

Seeing as I've worn make-up a maximum of 4 or 5 times since March, I really don't need any make-up! Definitely looks like a good deal though.

EatPrayYoga · 15/11/2020 10:45

Yeah I'm the same. I have wearing no make up most days and sometimes some under eye concealer, brow powder and mascara.

OchonAgusOchonO · 15/11/2020 10:46

On the same site, urban decay have between 30% and 40% off everything on site from tomorrow.

Freedm Street is cruelty free I think. Also Pip Box but I watched Cosmetopia's unboxing last night and she wasn't very impressed.

XmasLockdown · 15/11/2020 15:42

Amazon calendar is still on stock. Maybe there will be a Black Friday deal.

Eaumyword · 15/11/2020 18:31

Just hopping back on here to report (without any spoilers!) that I've opened my Rituals calebdar which was for my Birthday.
Wow, it is incredibly luxe for the price (I got the cheaper version.) The products are absolutely gorgeous looking and smelling and the sizes are great. I'm so delighted. Thanks to you lovely S&B folks, as I got it on recommendation from here.
I wasn't impressed with my Arran Aromatics one by comparison.

Pomegranatespompom · 15/11/2020 21:22

@Eaumyword Rituals sounds great, regretting dithering now as it's sold out. Still have Liberty though so not exactly deprived.

Eaumyword · 15/11/2020 21:58

Grin yep, you're doing alright but you've got the real prize with the Liberty one!
That joy of opening the windows is like beauty crack, very addictive!
But yes, absolutely adore it and so impressed for the price 👍

Pomegranatespompom · 15/11/2020 22:03

🤣 I’m definitely going to get rituals next year. I just tried a shower gel - the hamman one and love it.
Glad you are enjoying it 😊

diamondsandrose · 15/11/2020 22:48

Ooh I have Rituals for Dec, I'm even more excited now Smile

AprilLady · 15/11/2020 23:32

The Rituals calendar is still available at Boots, Pomegranate if you do still want it this year.

Pomegranatespompom · 16/11/2020 06:53

@AprilLady thank you - I’m very tempted to get it ...

Eaumyword · 16/11/2020 07:02

Whispers the bad lady in your ear...do it! You won't regret it!Grin
A real range of fabulous products with yummy smells.
I'll just leave that there, waha!

Pomegranatespompom · 16/11/2020 07:07

😂 honestly I don’t need encouragement.

ajandjjmum · 16/11/2020 11:00

A parcel arrived for me from Liberty this morning - my absolutely lovely SIL has sent me their advent calendar. Spoilt!

XmasLockdown · 16/11/2020 11:07

Amazon advent calendar is currently unavailable. Not sure if it comes back.

Is there any calendars left?

OchonAgusOchonO · 16/11/2020 11:21

That is a fabulous present to get. Enjoy.
