Hope it’s ok to have started the thread as we seemed to run out of the last one a bit quickly! And I was really enjoying the thread and reading everyone’s thoughts.

I started reading the first one determined not to buy one this year.

Currently I have the Rituals one and have just ordered the Origins 12 Day one for the 12 days of Christmas!

Let the chat and decisions continue!

Regarding sorting and sorting like others I have my stash sorted into bags of cleansers, toners etc. Now that travel is back on the cards I will use them up that way.

Just went to get Harrods and it's out of stock ffs...how quick was that??

AprilLady · 14/10/2021 07:44

@supadupapupascupa, me too! And also have F&M, so really pleased.

supadupapupascupa · 14/10/2021 07:46

If Harrods is out of stock I really hope my order doesn't get cancelled. Last year I ordered CB. Money left my account snd then a few hours later was refunded snd order cancelled!

AprilLady · 14/10/2021 07:51

@LastSummerHere, it does seem surprising that Harrods is already out of stock. Hopefully, like we’ve seen with quite a few others, they’ll release more. NAP, for example, seem to be releasing a few each morning, which then sell out quickly.

LizzieMacQueen · 14/10/2021 07:53

Oh shit, i posted the link cos it had 'add to bag'. Thought that meant in stock but yes, it says out if stock when you try to add it. Sorry.

LizzieMacQueen · 14/10/2021 07:54

Ah yes @AprilLady, as said before,they're probably limited by how many they can ship out at a time rather than how many they hold in stock.

LastSummerHere · 14/10/2021 07:56

That's ok Lizzie....thank you so much anyway!!💚 And yes April I am hoping it comes back...when I took a good look I really liked the products. A lot there that would suit my skin I think. I'll keep my eyes peeled. 👀

LastSummerHere · 14/10/2021 07:58

Supa I hope you get it! I'm sure it will be fine...lighting doesn't strike twice and all that!!😉

Stokey · 14/10/2021 08:03

Wow can't believe Harrods went in and out so b quickly. Thought I was up early checking them, although think I want CB so wouldn't have bought Harrods before trying for that.
Not sure what my back up is if I don't get CB. May wait and see if Space NK comes back in.

@SummerWhy

I signed up for the Liberty Beauty Drop but I’m having doubts now I’ve looked at their beauty selection again! What do people recommend from Liberty? Or anything good for Christmas gifts?
So I have decided to hold my nerve, skip the advent calendars (except the Rituals one) and hope for a good GWP to refill an old calendar this year.

On my shopping list for Liberty, either stuff I have got from there last time or planned for next time, are...

  • Trish McEvoy Instant Eye Lift concealer
  • REN Atlantic Kelp body scrub
  • Sisley Black Rose eye cream
  • Dermalogica Neck Serum & Microfoliant
  • Lixir Skin Vitamin C mask
  • Votary face oil
  • Chantecaille SPF (it's expensive but doubles as a primer and doesn't smell of sun cream...) & foundation
  • Surratt brow pomade
  • Hourglass Ambient face powder

They also stock Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier & Nars, and Aesop which is just a nice treat!

@LordEmsworth sorry to be thick but what's a GWP?

BunnytheFriendlyDragon · 14/10/2021 08:29

GWP = gift with purchase

Housewife2010 · 14/10/2021 08:36

Who else keeps refreshing their emails for CB?

OchonAgusOchonOh · 14/10/2021 08:38

That's really quick for Harrods but hopefully they will come back for those of you who want it.

Best of luck to those of you waiting for CB.

I'm glad now I changed my mind about it as I'm tied up in meetings or class from 9.30 until 4 today, with only a 30 minute gap for lunch so I would never have managed to get it. Hopefully I don't have a similar day when they release the edits!

Stokey · 14/10/2021 08:42

@Housewife2010 me! Also refreshing Twitter and this page Grin . But am also working so hoping it doesn't come while I'm in a meeting.

AprilLady · 14/10/2021 08:53

CB is on sale l!

lemonyellow · 14/10/2021 08:53

I’ve refreshing Cult Beauty like mad this morning and just managed to get one of the calendars! Not had the email yet though!

ChuddleyCannons · 14/10/2021 08:56

Go go go! I ordered one!!

Housewife2010 · 14/10/2021 08:56

Just bought CB. Bought it after refreshing the page. I haven't received the in stock email yet. Make sure you screenshot the order number. I've received the confirmation. Last year I didn't screenshot then panicked when the confirmation was late and I ended up ordering two then having to cancel one.

Housewife2010 · 14/10/2021 09:02

@Stokey Have you ordered? CB Finally here!

Stokey · 14/10/2021 09:05

I just got my order confirmation through. Thanks for the heads up on here, still no email from them. I feel I can watch in peace now and see if or surely when it sells out.

I don't see it. Which page was it on? New stuff or Christmas?
Stokey · 14/10/2021 09:05

Yes!! Thanks @Housewife2010 Smile

chloechloe · 14/10/2021 09:05

Good work ladies, just ordered but still no email!
