Beauty Advent Calendars 2021 Part 2: The Curse of the Drawers of Disappointment *Spoilers included*

[Coniferhedge]

As you were everyone!

I agree @Housewife2010, otherwise it is just a beauty box. I am also waiting to see what M&S do and not persuaded by H&B. Space NK is my most likely although the candle is not what I would want, most things are interesting and it’s one I haven’t had before. Also curious to see what No7 do and the Lancôme one looks nice - very pretty. I don’t often buy Lancôme but I do have some products of theirs I really liked, they had an amazing lip balm and I think I liked a toner also. 2 reddish lips is a push but I do wear lipstick….

I'm so happy that M&S is happing, it's almost like a National morale boost!

[I8toys]

Excited by M&S now. Last time I got one was 2019 - I know the exact date it came out as I was in Milan - 31st October and was awake early dressing our hotel room for son No 2's birthday. Had to time to get the M&S calendar though!!

[dottyaboutstripes]

The M&S one is something like 28th Oct, so aaaages away. I want to see what's in it and I want to see NOW!

[gratedbeetroot]

One year I had fairly major surgery on the day it was coming out. It appeared online late at night and I can remember lying there in hospital ordering on my phone

@Housewife2010

I hope the M&S one is numbered. Last year's Latest in Beauty "AC" was just a beauty box. We need numbered days for the full MN opening experience.

That's the thought that I had - it will be a tin in the style of last year's Latest in Beauty calendar, where it contained 24 items and you picked one out at random each day. Sure, it makes for a unique opening experience, but it'll play havoc with the opening threads on here if everyone is opening different items, and thus spoilers galore.

[StiffyByng]

You also lose that sense of anticipation that they’ve saved something really good for the end. Obviously often the threads (on all calendars) are full of posters saying ‘is that IT?’, but we do always live in hope.

[gratedbeetroot]

The threads make opening the calendars so much more enjoyable so I hope they’re numbered! There are usually people complaining about spoilers even when opening an item on the day as it is!

[PomRuns]

It’s 25 products 🙂

[PomRuns]

25 days of beauty.
Reusable tin.
25 hand picked products to dazzle our way though the festive season.

Apparently 😂

I was planning to wait for Advents and not buy any beauty products but running out of a few essentials and the new Cult Beauty GWP has made me crack and do an order!

[kikipie]

No Holland and Barrett shipping outside of U.K. Bollocks to them and have told them so!

[ajandjjmum]

GWP on Cult Beauty - £90 spend needed. I've just bought three early Christmas Presents, and then I'm going to stuff an old calendar with the free gifts - or get DD to do it.

Happy because I felt guilty about buying another 'nice' calendar, as I still have loads of stuff from last year - but FOMO strikes again! I'll probably try and get the M & S one too.

[supadupapupascupa]

Do you have a link to the CB GWP?

[Peridot1]

Really like the look of the Lancôme one.

Keep saying I won’t get one but FOMO is a bitch!

[ashmts]

@supadupapupascupa It automatically adds to your basket if you add £90-worth. I haven't been able to find a list of contents but I took a gamble, I needed some bits anyway and £90 is quite a low spend considering the recent GWPs.

[incognitodorrito]

Did anyone get either of the Charlotte Tilbury Calendars last year ? I'm looking for something make up focused this year. Also just succumbed and got the Cult Beauty GWP.

[wheresmyshoe]

@supadupapupascupa try

[Plump82]

My H&B arrived today. Impressed how quickly.
I weighs a tonne. Only issue is the packaging of the actual calendar is pretty flimsy so it's looking a little bashed!

[supadupapupascupa]

Smashing thank you! Got it :-)

[Hekatestorch]

@ashmts thank you just swagged it myself

[anonymouslyusing]

Think the CB GWP is already sold out. Great news for me as I wanted it but definitely don’t need it

[MarbleRunaway]

I can’t find the GWP on Cult Beauty - do you have a link or code?

[MarbleRunaway]

Sorry saw it was linked just above but it wasn’t loading - it is now!

[RubyFakeLips]

FFS I've just spent £100 at Space NK yesterday, I did get £10 of points but I'd rather have got the CB GWP!

Has anyone tried the Shiseido calendar before?
