Yes my DP got a text to say it had been delivered (he ordered it as it's for my birthday), just waiting on my velvetiser now which was dispatched yesterday Grin

I see Fenwick's Beauty Advent has sold out online; can't wait to start opening mine.

EatPrayYoga · 28/10/2020 17:43

Too late Ochon It was gone by the time I posted. Maybe the next one Grin

It was very frothy and delicious, just like in store

@OchonAgusOchonO

I got a free Lumene moisturiser when I ordered the Lumene AC from feelunique. I just started using it. It smells so gorgeous. I'm really looking forward to the Lumene one now.
Humpf. I didn't. Although: mine is actually still in its box, I haven't taken it out of the packaging yet so there could be a surprise in there! I am waiting until December to start opening it :)

Last year I had the Arran Aromatics advent calendar. Well worth the money but I don't like loads of body moisturisers so I didn't get it this year.

TeatimeAtCloppa · 28/10/2020 17:59

Lol I didn't get a free moisturiser either Cologne. I am crazy excited about my advent calendars...still toying with the idea of opening one in November. Once Halloween is over I am officially going to be in the Christmas season in my own mind...Christmas movie channels, Christmas music, present shopping...and admiring my beautiful calendars.

OchonAgusOchonO · 28/10/2020 18:00

@cologne4711 - I haven't taken it out of the packaging yet so there could be a surprise in there!

It was just loose in the box with the calendar and beauty bag. Hopefully it's in yours too.

OchonAgusOchonO · 28/10/2020 18:14

@cologne4711 @TeatimeAtCloppa

Did ye get them from Feelunique or somewhere else? The freebie was from Feelunique.

TeatimeAtCloppa · 28/10/2020 18:19

I think it was from Feel Unique.🤔 I got it when they were running the discount that time. Yes, it definitely was...I've just remembered the Feel Unique box it came in. Ah well, not to worry.

marveloustimeruiningeverything · 28/10/2020 18:55

I got the Lumene moisturiser as well with the Lumene calendar, and the birthday bag. Hopefully it's in the packaging for everyone who ordered over that week...

OchonAgusOchonO · 28/10/2020 18:58

@TeatimeAtCloppa - that's a pity. At least you have the advent calendar to look forward to.

TeatimeAtCloppa · 28/10/2020 19:08

I'm so looking forward to the calendar Ochon. Have heard amazing things about Lumene. I just love good skin care and love trying brands I've not tried before. The calendars I went for this year I made sure were skin care focussed. I didn't want make up particularly as I have enough and barely used what I have this year.

OchonAgusOchonO · 28/10/2020 19:16

Me too Teatime. I had debated cult beauty but decided on LF instead as less makeup. Plus I felt I could justify a second one as LF was so much cheaper than CB.

I prefer mixed brand usually but I was convinced on here to go for the Lumene one and with the free sample I've tried, I'm glad I did.

Just hope my LF one ships eventually 😕

AsPerMyLastEmail · 28/10/2020 19:26

Oh I was hoping the LF advent would surprise me by having at least as much if not more make up than the Cult Beauty one. I purposefully didn’t look at the contents of it all so I’d have a complete surprise.

As I seem to upset SunshineCake yesterday over spoilers, perhaps this is my comeuppance? Wink

OchonAgusOchonO · 28/10/2020 19:29

@AsPerMyLastEmail - it's more the CB one had makeup I wasn't interested in, whereas the LF has makeup I will use.

AsPerMyLastEmail · 28/10/2020 19:31

Nice save Grin Thank you, I know what you mean.

Aw Per!😂 Don't worry..I remember there are definitely some nice pieces of make up in LF. I think I upset Sunshine yesterday too as I was giving off about the 'usual suspects'.Blush

Still no sign of your LF calendar Ochon? That is really shoddy! I subscribed to their beauty box for years and just loved it, but before I cancelled the boxes were getting later and later in the month. I never knew when they would ever show up.

I felt the exact same way about the CB calendar. It was really gorgeous but I had tried/own a lot of the make up pieces so sat that one out. I loved it last year though. I am curious which ones might be discounted if they hang around long enough. The skin care in the Harrods one looks great but tiny sizes unfortunately. Still, if it was reduced a lot I might be tempted.

AsPerMyLastEmail · 28/10/2020 19:44

Yes to be fair I discounted Cult Beauty partly because of the make up - I liked it but already had or used it. It was amazing last year and I’ll be up for getting it next year.

I’m really looking forward to the CB GWP though as I like the look of all the make up in that.

OchonAgusOchonO · 28/10/2020 19:58

@TeatimeAtCloppa - Still no sign of your LF calendar Ochon? That is really shoddy!

Yeah. It's pretty crap. It's really taking the shine off it at this stage. I think I'm the only one on here that still hasn't got it. Or else I'm the only one mouthing off about it Grin

I haven’t got it!
Well, “mine” is in fact two, for my nieces, who have been waiting for it since the 12th...
I had ordered a third one for me but cancelled it and ordered Space NK just before it sold out. I was desperate by then, and it was only a few days ago! Got Space NK on next day delivery and also have Liberty (DH).

OchonAgusOchonO · 28/10/2020 20:19

@LaBrujaPiruja - Hopefully they will get them. At you you have yours though.

OchonAgusOchonO · 28/10/2020 20:20

At least you, not At you you

HettyPain · 28/10/2020 20:22

My LF calendar hasn't arrived yet either! I'm hoping it will tomorrow though... will post an update if it does!

Has yours shipped though? Mine hasn't progressed beyond "Order Placed"
