My two LF calendars (well, my nieces’) magically appeared out of nowhere on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Customer service useless, won’t be repeating next year. In fact I have asked them to remove me from mailing lists, don’t want anything to do with them at all.

OchonAgusOchonO · 19/11/2020 15:02

@LaBrujaPiruja - that's great. But yes, I think a lot of us won't go near them again.

BuffaloMozzerella · 19/11/2020 15:11

I won't be using LF again. I'm going to cancel the beauty box subscription after the December box arrives too.

Too much hassle, chasing up and uncertainty for something that's supposed to be enjoyable.

LizzieMacQueen · 19/11/2020 17:26

In case anyone's still looking, M&S 12 days of beauty is now only £21. Think that's now 70% off.

TeatimeAtCloppa · 19/11/2020 21:07

LF used to be brilliant. I definitely noticed s change in the summer. Same with GlossyBox. Shoddy goods, missing items, late delivery....🙄

XmasLockdown · 19/11/2020 21:32

Amazon calendar back in stock.

OchonAgusOchonO · 20/11/2020 12:21

Olivia (I think I've broken Ryan as he never replies to me anymore) tells me my replacement AC is in Dublin. Tracking hasn't updated and still claims Hermes are waiting to take custody of it so I'm not convinced. An Post usually text once they've a parcel but they haven't contacted me either.

I guess I'll believe it when I see it.

Time to start believing in Father Christmas again ochon! I really hope you get a pleasant surprise and it turns up.

For those of you maybe still considering Lumene, I’ve opened most of mine now and it’s amazing! If it goes onto a BF sale I could be tempted to buy a second one for my stash!

Housewife2010 · 20/11/2020 12:33

Lookfantastic's service has been terrible lately. I will never order with them again. Part of my order arrived damaged. I had to chase for over a week. Eventually they agreed to replace but I have to wait over a month so it can be sent from the supplier despite it showing on the website.

Fingers crossed. And for @BuffaloMozzerella too.

Costacoffeeplease · 20/11/2020 12:54

I’m enjoying the lumene too but it has reminded me why I normally don’t have a single company calendar as it gets a bit samey

chloechloe · 20/11/2020 14:15

I usually prefer the multi brand ones too costa - I have Liberty and LF for December. But this Lumene one has been great as it’s a new brand for me (thanks to this thread!) and I wouldn’t have known which if their various skincare lines to go for, so this has allowed me to try a few of them out. I’ll definitely be repurchasing and have my eye on a few bits which don’t seem to be in the calendar.

Costacoffeeplease · 20/11/2020 16:40

I have Liberty and LF too (and H&B and Fortnums Blush) and do like the products so far, and may well re purchase some

OchonAgusOchonO · 20/11/2020 18:26

@Costacoffeeplease - I have Liberty and LF too (and H&B and Fortnums blush)

Did you get a bit carried awayGrin. I assume you're blaming this thread like the rest of us?

Costacoffeeplease · 20/11/2020 18:58

Just a little bit I forgot I had the Fortnums as it came in sept and ordered Liberty. I also had Arran but opened that straight away

I’m going to have two in Dec and two in jan, or maybe one in jan and one in Feb. Maybe next year I’ll get a years worth Blush

chloechloe · 20/11/2020 19:03

The Fortnums looks fab - I decided to get it this year instead of Liberty but then dithered so long that it was gone when I finally made my mind up!

Pomegranatespompom · 20/11/2020 20:49

Same @chloechloe I won't make that mistake next year !

XmasLockdown · 20/11/2020 21:01

Look fantastic calendar is back in stock if anyone is interested.

AliceinBunniland · 20/11/2020 21:05

Well LF being on stock is a good sign for those who don't have theirs yet but LF should perhaps concentrate on sending calendars to those who have already ordered

OchonAgusOchonO · 20/11/2020 21:33

@XmasLockdown

Look fantastic calendar is back in stock if anyone is interested.
If you order it now, you should have it in time for easter.
Stripesnomore · 20/11/2020 22:22

Despite not having ordered a Look Fantastic calendar, I have become very invested in whether other MNers will ever receive theirs.

OchonAgusOchonO · 20/11/2020 22:38

Mine is currently in a LF warehouse in the UK, a warehouse belonging to a courier in Poland and in the central sorting centre in Dublin. All at the same time. Pretty amazing really.

MiaN · 21/11/2020 05:29

I opened Space NK advent for my birthday in September, LIberty is my christmas present and I have Cult beauty.

I also bought the Skinstore 12 day as the price of the advent was close to the cost of one of the products I really want and that was opened on the day it arrived!

Really hope all the LF arrive on time too, annoying they aren't able to manage delivery.

isitsnowingyet · 21/11/2020 05:41

Has anyone got the l'occitane one? Cos I do Grin and am very excited for Dec 1st.

I guess its not strictly a beauty advent calendar - so probably in the wrong place here...

MiaN · 21/11/2020 06:12

Elle is now sold out too. There isn't really much left for Black Friday this year.
