Can’t see a thread so I thought I’d start one. Yes, it’s unbelievably early, but I noticed Glossybox have already revealed their Advent Calendar contents for this year. Saw this reveal on YouTube this morning:

Have to say it doesn’t wow me, but there’s plenty of time and many more Advent Calendars to come, I’m sure! Grin

Hear, hear Morris. Perhaps they can have a chat with Body Shop about it Angry

There was a 20% ASOS code that worked for everyone a few days back, even without the app. Mine has been dispatched already. I bet another code will come up before long.

Nowmum43 · 10/09/2021 16:23

My ASOS ascent arrived today and I can't wait. I watched an unboxing and am really pleased with e contents and definitely think it's worth the £60 I paid.
Roll on December 1st Grin

Nowmum43 · 10/09/2021 16:23

That should be advent!

How the hell can the Lush calendar be so expensive?! It's on a par with Molton Brown, which is much higher end than Lush.
I'd buy the Lush one if it was £90 for 25 days. Although yes, they went a bit odd with their political messaging.
I miss Cosmetics to Go. Even travelled to Poole to visit their shop there. It was amazing!

Ponks · 10/09/2021 16:41

I'd love the Lush calendar , it's got some stuff in you can't buy separately, but agree it's too expensive. Didn't stop it selling out quickly last year though. I wish they'd do a 12 day / mini version.

CountryCob · 10/09/2021 17:07

Also puzzled re lush advent, they must have some pretty devoted followers….

Hekatestorch · 10/09/2021 17:12

This says they are having a smaller one, if I have read it correctly. Does the lunch one even have draws?

Lunch? Lush! Blush

PomRuns · 10/09/2021 17:33

I’m really keen to see John Lewis and their tardiness is starting to annoy me.

I missed out on that one. Serves me right for dithering! Blush

Bugger it. I got FOMO and ordered it at the full price. It’s still a good saving for everything you get, and it can be a Christmas present to me from DH, not that he knows that yet! Grin

Tbf I can see the appeal over lush over some of the standard beauty calendars as I think I'd use them and enjoy them more if I was having regular baths but it is just too expensive

turboface · 10/09/2021 19:09

They sold Lush calendars 50% off last January. I bought 12 day one. I might see if they have the same offer again after Xmas.

I am not sure if I am getting beauty advent calendar this year. I have loads of minis from previous years. If I am getting one it's going to be H&B one.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 10/09/2021 19:11

@Eaumyword (waves) yes CTG was miles better than Lush - I miss those Champagne Bath Bombs & tons of other things too.
Lucky you visiting the shop in Poole!

@PomRuns yes I know what you mean I want to know what's in the John Lewis calendar & also the M&S one now!

Eaumyword · 10/09/2021 19:28

Well hello @TracyBeakerSoYeah! 👋 Oh it was an Aladdin's cave and you did a tour of where they made everything, then shopped to your heart's content. Heaven! I LOVED getting the catalogue too!
The Fortnums calendar is off the charts fabulous. So much money but I really, really want it....

chloechloe · 10/09/2021 19:40

So I have just started my annual agonizing over which to get….

I have defected from Look Fantastic (which I’ve loved for many years) to Feel Unique. What did it was the Avant hand cream (50ml) priced at £92 in the LF calendar. They really think we’re fools!

For FU I was swayed by the GWP which looks really good - not very glamorous, but lots of nice French pharmacy type stuff. For anybody buying off the EU site, you can’t buy just the AC (even though it’s enough for the qualifying spend), you have to add in another item.

I will also get a luxury one but not sure what. I was going to go for CB but am irritated that there are 2 mascaras and a low value item from The Ordinary.

Hekatestorch · 10/09/2021 20:16

So I have the FU one.

I am going to try and get the space Nk one. If I don't get that I will try for the CB one. I woukd rather have the CB one but its coming out so late, if I wait I will miss all the best ones.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 10/09/2021 21:14

@Eaumyword if you have the money spare then treat yourself to the Fortnums calendar.
Be more Max 👑 🍊 is my motto Grin

I've emailed John Lewis & asked them if they are definitely doing a beauty advent calendar & details please.

Eaumyword · 10/09/2021 21:50

Well if her royal orangeness decrees it...Grin
I reckon I'll bottle it and end up going for H&B or L'Occitane again - still good options though!

Ilikeviognier · 10/09/2021 21:52

Anyone got an idea when the H&B calendar goes on sale? All I can find is “September”….

LookdeepintotheParka · 10/09/2021 22:08

Last year H&B was 18th Sept @Ilikeviognier but haven't seen any confirmation for 2021 calendar yet!

Ilikeviognier · 10/09/2021 22:09

Thankyou! Likely to be something similar then I suspect! Have signed up to be told as don’t want to miss it!

LarsErickssong · 10/09/2021 22:12

I would like two this year abs really need to decide which I want my second one to be especially if H&B is going to be available soon...I was originally definitely going for H&B but rituals is tempting me now instead, and I like the look of next too!

RubyFakeLips · 10/09/2021 22:13

I'm desperate for news of the Selfridges one. I got the Cult Beauty last year, Space the year before. Don't Harrods usually do one too?

I was hoping for Liberty this year as I have some gift vouchers but I don't think I'll bother having seen the contents.
