@Giftwithpurchase

Anyone else tempted by the Fenwicks Food and Drink calendar rather than the beauty one Grin
Yes, but after hemming and hawing, I ordered my DH the annual Niederegger Marzipan chocolate calendar he always loves.

Some good CB boxes coming which would be handy for those of you making your own AC. beautyadventcalendar.net/cult-beauty-the-christmas-edits-2021/

Yes!

@Housewife2010 CB boxes look great, very tempting.

MidnightMeltdown · 04/10/2021 22:07

Still no NAP - how strange. This is the second time they've let us down. They must be having issues.

It looks seriously tempting

Got my Space NK in the post and looking forward to the thread! Will most likely get M&S unless I talk myself out of it at the time as at the moment don’t really need the products, still using up the last advent ones but that is kind of the point of them I think…

Housewife2010 · 05/10/2021 11:21

Liberty AC launches tomorrow morning from midnight.

Housewife2010 · 05/10/2021 11:25

Just noticed that I've had an email from Liberty. There was a link so that as a Beauty Drop member I can order it now.

LizzieMacQueen · 05/10/2021 11:32

@Housewife2010 I just posted a refer a friend code on the GWP thread if you're going to order.

Anon778833 · 05/10/2021 11:43

Liberty sells out the most quickly (apart from Cult Beauty) so make sure you don't miss it. It's a great calendar and I used everything in mine the year I bought it.

The time they put Liberty on sale seems to differ - some years it's midnight, others 9am so keep a look out.

SocksAndTheCity · 05/10/2021 11:55

I got the Liberty link, but I've already ordered F&M and I have my Space NK one too, plus a couple of Bonne Maman ones for gifts and me.

I actually didn't even feel tempted when I saw it and I love Liberty, but then I've just had the emails about how much my energy bills are about to go up and it's set off a new determination to get through my hoard instead which can't hurt ConfusedHalo.

Housewife2010 · 05/10/2021 12:00

@LizzieMacQueen I'm not getting the Liberty AC. I've had it three times in the past and loved it but it's too samey for me now.
I've found in the past that the Liberty AC is around for a few days.

BunnytheFriendlyDragon · 05/10/2021 12:00

I'm not getting Liberty but will let you know if I see it. I tend to be up with baby in the night so I'll check if I remember!

BunnytheFriendlyDragon · 05/10/2021 12:02

The cult beauty edit boxes look good. Think I might get one for a friend. Can't decide between the more glow and more glam 🤔

Nanasueathome · 05/10/2021 12:07

I got both Liberty and Fenwick links this morning
I’ve already ordered F&M so am just sticking to that one

AprilLady · 05/10/2021 13:05

Also sitting on my hands now not ordering Liberty today. Waiting for CB and Harrods next week, and hoping I’m able to get one of the two.

I'm half thinking of getting the More Glow one and then a couple of the sets in Boots and making up my own calendar.

this and this look good. I could always buy a black eyeliner to complain about too Grin

Next has a few beauty boxes which may be useful if building your own calendars

itsallgoingpearshaped · 05/10/2021 16:40

I ordered the Fenwick calendar and likely won't buy another one this year unless I cave on M&S since it's relatively reasonable all things considered. Am also eyeing a Cult Beauty edit.

Not for those of us in the EUSad

They do look nice though.

TheDuchessOfMN · 05/10/2021 16:47

Nor the advent calendar @OchonAgusOchonOh Sad

OchonAgusOchonOh · 05/10/2021 16:50

@TheDuchessOfMN

Nor the advent calendar *@OchonAgusOchonOh* Sad
And no point in using AddressPal (or similar) anymore as it's way dearer now plus you pay both UK and Irish/other EU VAT
PomRuns · 05/10/2021 17:31

I’m not getting Liberty - I already have most of the products. It’s normally my Christmas treat. It will be interesting to see how quickly it sells this year.
