[Butterymuffin]

The hunt continues! We await Black Friday developments.

Amazon are creating their own distribution network in Ireland - they’ve taken over three warehouses in Ballycoolin and looking to hire lots of staff Not sure if it’s motivated by Brexit or the buckets of complaints they got in April - July on delivery (Prime customers were getting quoted 2 weeks for delivery... but if they ordered to Belfast it was being despatched immediately... rumour was Anpost were overwhelmed)

LF are on the outskirts of Wrocław - about 15 minutes from my dentist 🙂 They’d be pushed to get anything to Dublin that quick, but it might have been ‘pre advised’? I’ve had a box sitting in Portlaise since early November which is from Australia

They’d be pushed to get anything to Dublin that quick, but it might have been ‘pre advised’?

Apparently, they were going to the UK first so I'd say pretty impossible.

I'm hoping AddressPal ship seperately to post and I get my CEWUK box early this week.

I’ve started a general advent calendar discussion thread. Please do all join me! @BookShark I’ll also be opening Net a Porter, as well as F&M, which I’ve even managed to keep in its bubble wrap awaiting the 1st.

Thanks April. Link to general thread

Hello I haven’t been on here for ages! Posting to bookmark.

I'm sooooo late to the party I thought there may be a few last minute ones still available but I was wrong! Never mind... always next year

Just wondering is there anyone opening Lumene in December? Not sure if it's worth an individual thread or should we just stick to the catch-all thread?

I'm opening Lumene in December, really looking forward to it as the brand is new to me.

I'm opening Lumene in December, really looking forward to it as the brand is new to me.

If it's only the 2 of us, maybe we should stick to the general one?

The brand is new to me too. I did try a moisturiser I got as a freebie recently and it was lovely, although possibly a bit light for pretty more mature skin.

Grazia Glossybox calendar (12 days) down to 95 today from 125, for anyone still seeking a calendar.

I'll be opening LF (sorry @BuffaloMozzerella and @OchonAgusOchonOch) in December and I have Birchbox for January. So I will probably avoid the general thread after today in case anyone's opening Birchbox on that. Has anyone set up an LF opening thread yet?

harpers bazaar (not an advent, a 'best of' box ) down to £100 today from £125 ( value is in the £500s with 12 full size products) if you go via topcashback, there is allegedly cashback of £24.75 - I am waiting for it to be confirmed, but it is showing in my earnings )

It has a full size balance me hyaluronic beauty sleep spray RRP £20, which I got a mini of in a birchbox and love

Let's keep Lumene on the general thread @OchonAgusOchonO , I like hearing about all the advents and it's easy to miss one when they are all on separate threads. Just going to unwrap my calendar now .

See you there tomorrow @Ponks

I’ve already opened my Lumene one and loved it! I’ll join you on the general thread dir the opening chat!

For all posters opening Look Fantastic in December, I've started a thread for the morning. See you there.

I've just opened Cult Beauty and Holland & Barrett. A very good start.

Happy advent !

Will there be a Liberty thread ? Or just join the main one ?

I'd like a Liberty thread - it's a bit confusing on the all together one.

@Orcadianrythyms - I'd like a Liberty thread - it's a bit confusing on the all together one.

I think the point of the general one is so those of us with minority calendars have company. Makes sense to have dedicated threads for the popular ones.

I hope everyone is enjoying day 1.

I have Lumene and my custom mn one comes is consisting of stuff I bought because of you lot so CEW UK, the free beauty bag on beauty bay and the QVC Elemis kit.

I've got the John Lewis AC and the No 7 one. Very happy with day 1 for both so far.

JL was a gorgeous hat box with acqua di palma perfume, body lotion and shower gel. Nice enough to give someone as a gift actually.
No 7 was a primer which I was going to let DD have till I read it's good for lines etc so I've taken back ownership of it.

There’s an existing Liberty’s Thread, I posted on it earlier today. I can’t link as on phone.
