@OchonAgusOchonO

Looks like my whinging may have had an effect. Customer service has told me that they have asked the warehouse to push this out for me.

Fingers crossed!

Lucky you!
They have emailed me today saying their warehouse is in Poland and I have to wait for 4 weeks!

@LaBrujaPiruja - They have emailed me today saying their warehouse is in Poland and I have to wait for 4 weeks!

That's not good. Hopefully mine is in a closer warehouse!

[quote happytobemrsg]@EatPrayYoga I chose a gourmet popcorn calendar for my “food” advent this year - very excited about it!! I’m going to feel very spoiled this winter[/quote]
I'm struggling for a gift for my BIL and a popcorn gift might be good. Please would you tell me where I can see this please ?

I bought liberty and L'Occitane for myself and Asos for dd.
Does anyone know if Selfridges is coming back in stock?

@SunshineCake I got the Joe and Seph's popcorn one off QVC last year if that's any help

My LF advent calendar arrived today. It was due 12th October and took a be of chasing. I'm very excited now it's here.

I ordered a Joe and Seph advent calendar for DP at the weekend. I clicked through Quidco and it tracked with £5 cashback.

My RM tracking still suggests they don't have it 🤷‍♀️

They've got a month.

Presumably coming from Poland...

@SunshineCake I've seen those popcorn calendars in Boots in the last week.

Still 🤞 for all the LF calendars being transported from Poland (surely that can't be the cheap option now, what with Brexit and restricted movement? Confused)

I think mine came from outside of the uk, possibly Poland, as the text said LF International with a PN tracking number (PN for Poland? I’ve only seen GB before I think).

I think you’ll all receive them fine.

I’ve peeked inside each drawer just to make sure they all contain something. Each item is wrapped in pink tissue paper so no surprises spoilt. I’m very excited now.

Until 31 December we are in the transition period with our membership rights preserved, so it’s the same as before.

The M&S Beauty Edit is now available. £20 when you spend £50

Personally I think there are two many hair products.

@NorthGirl2 I normally get the beauty box but it’s really not that great.
I just realised I can get 22% off @ look fantastic with my nhs discount, so I think I’m just going to order some treats. The code doesn’t work for advent calendars sadly.

The M&S box looks okay for the price but agree there's a lot of hair stuff. It's always the same things two. I've had that Living Proof product so many times over the years and I'm not even sure it does anything. Plus I'm not a fan of getting a conditioner and not shampoo, or vice versa...

Pom treat yourself

The Beauty Box is a round up of frequently seen items. I already have the Nuxe, the Living Proof, many other Percy and Reed which don't do anything anyway, the Eyeko, and the Philip Kingsley. I also don't like that it's one of two Prai items - I think in a box like this you should know exactly what you'll get. So I'll pass.

too not two...

It is very similar to the advent calendar in terms of items.

Quite a few more new calendars on beauty advent calendar.net as well as the Cult Beauty GWP that comes out today. Any of you Cult Beauty fans going for that?

I thought how good that looked Buttery - until I clocked the green eyeshadow! Grin

Oooh dh bought me the glossybox one for my birthday tomorrow but he is insisting that I have to open it all in one go or it’s not a birthday present Confused.
So now I’m really tempted to get another one for actual December opening but most are sold out. I was thinking MAC but it doesn’t look as good value as most of the others.
I understand this is a complete first world problem but any recommendations for ones that are still in stock..? I prefer make up heavy ones, I have enough skincare to sort three faces for the rest of my days...

Just tell him it's not a present if you can't play with it how you want.

The Elle one is nice IMHO but why did he get you an advent calendar if he wants you to open it all? Hmm
