Beauty Advent Calendars 2021 Thread 3 - Decisions Decisions! (Spoilers included)

[Peridot1]

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.

M&S calendar now available and it lists the product sizes, for those who were asking.

Although having just tried to buy it, it isn’t giving the reduction to £40 with a £30 spend right now…

@Talisin It’s saying it’s out of stock for me. Do you know if it’s sold out or has it not been made available yet?!

I have ‘Add to bag’ and it allows me to do so.

I have managed to buy it - it did glitch as I went to pay it but I have received an order confirmation showing it.

It's worked for me. Order done. Thanks @Talisin as I had forgotten completely until I saw your post.

M&S listed as out of stock on the Irish site. Hopefully it will appear in the morning.

On the plus side, it's €45 with a spend of €35 so I think one each for me and dd. It would be rude not to when they've put a reasonable exchange rate on it

Thanks! Still showing as unavailable on the website but have just managed to purchase on the app Made up the £30 by buying some black trousers and the large ‘retreat’ pillar candle. Really looking forward to following along with the opening thread for the first time!

They have 234 in stock in my local shop. I won't be able to get in until saturday though. The don't have any of the items I want in the shop but I assume I could order in store and get the calendar there.

Ah, finally got it with the correct price reduction - I think they hadn’t got it set it up correctly for the first few minutes. I haven’t had the M&S one for a few years now so it’ll be fun being on the daily opening thread again.

Have just managed to buy it on ROI site. Looking forward to December for the daily comments!🎅

Now that I can see it properly, I think that the M&S calendar actually looks really good. I like the fact that the mascara and eyeliner are brown instead of the usual black. I hadn't noticed that before.

The mascara being brown puts me off as I only wear black mascara. So that would be a waste for me but then there's bound to be be someone who wants to swap when the M&S Advent Reveal thread gets going.
Don't mind a dark brown eye liner as I do wear that.

Got up and just ordered the M&S, ordered the special edition Prai cream with the adorable limited edition Christmas jar (thanks luvacuppatea for the tip; who knew?!) . Now I'm going back to bed.

Just ordered M&S. The site seems to be working fine this morning so 🤞it stays that way. I’m also happy to see a brown mascara and eye liner as I feel that colour suits me better and I already have a lifetimes supply of both in black from previous calendars and gifts 😂. Right now I’m feeling ridiculously excited about M&S, so much so that if F&M can’t trace my order I’ll happily take a refund 😊

Still not tempted by it here. I placed an order for things I needed using vouchers and still wasn’t tempted to spend the extra money.

I bought it - total FOMO! Justifying it by 'may' use it as a present, but we all know what that means!

I have ordered mine, black skirt and navy jumper choices for shopping….

I wasn't going to order M&S but now I kind of wavy it but not sure whether I'm just getting swept up in the hype

I just bought M&S too.....hadn't realised the eye makeup is brown. Finally someone has listened to us over the years that we want a colour other than black! So that did it! Ordered a nice pine wreath for the door and some Christmas candles. Can't wait til the thread on here - it's always one of the best I think.

I've just ordered mine. I needed brown mascara anyway so that's justified half the cost! Ordered pants and slippers for the children which I needed anyway.
I've not got the M&S calendar for a couple of years and I'm really looking forward to it. It got me addicted to Shay and Blue perfume last time....

Does anyone know whether the £30 required spend drops at any point or the way to buy it now stays the same throughout?

I'm fairly sure stays the same @Windows01

But it's a good deal as it is

I've sent a screenshot of the M & S calendar to DS2 and he's going to head into town for me this morning. I'll report back later!

@latedecember1963 that is a good DS
