@Savoretti I got in really quick last time it was on sale - 2019 - only to see them piled up in the local store when I returned the other items I'd ordered 🤣. Did think as they didn't do one last year, it might be a bit more popular this year.

Lipsandlashes · 28/10/2021 13:34

I've just ordered mine Smile I wanted to get both DDs onesies, which conveniently came in at £30 for both.

I'm very excited. I really missed this last year.

GratitudeGoddess · 28/10/2021 14:49

I've just bought mine in store. I'm very excited and tempted to open it a month early from Nov 1st 😊

AnnieSnap · 28/10/2021 15:46

@GratitudeGoddess I’m going to be strong, defer gratification and just open each ‘door’ when I should. I’m not a huge fan of Christmas, so it will perhaps help me to feel a bit festive 🙂🎄

Belindabelle · 28/10/2021 16:24

I don’t bloody believe it.

Haven’t bought anything from M & S for ages but last night I ordered a load of odds and ends. Had I known anout this I would have waited a few hours.

I'll try to stay strong @AnnieSnap and wait until Dec 😊

I nabbed one. Got a duvet cover to keep it company Grin

Shopgirl1 · 28/10/2021 17:49

Got one in store today, delighted.

latedecember1963 · 28/10/2021 19:25

I'm away at my caravan this week but DS2 went and got me one today. He got himself some interview/work trousers as the qualifying spend.
Looking forward to the daily opening thread in December.

Not the Botanical Repair again Confused

Not the Botanical Repair again Confused
The Aveda leave in? That was my favourite from the Summer Beauty Box. I liked it so much I would have bought it, regular like, had it not been £28 a tube!
Itsabeautifuldaytosavelives123 · 28/10/2021 21:19

I actually purchased it for the Aveda, it is an excellent product and had been thinking I didn't want to spend the ££ on it when it ran out. All the same it is strange it's in the very next beauty box.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 29/10/2021 09:43

I have loads of the Aveda. I don’t use it. I wish they’d leave it out. I got it in the summer beauty bag. Surely even the biggest fan doesn’t need another so soon.

DIKateFleming · 29/10/2021 13:04

I love the Aveda, I bought 2 of the summer bags as it was cheaper than just buying the Aveda on its own, and gave some of the bits away. I’m looking forward to the swaps thread and happily swap other bits for the Aveda

HeyNowHey · 29/10/2021 17:58

I'm also a bit "meh" at the Aveda botanical repair yet again. How about something different? It doesn't do anything for my hair I must say either. There are a few other repeats too. Though I like the look of the handcreams.

Anyway I've enough creams to last me another 2 years so I've reined in any temptations so far!

DagenhamRoundhouse · 29/10/2021 19:29

It looks very tempting but I know I'd probably only use less than half the products.

Westerman · 29/10/2021 23:16

I've been checking every day recently and so I was chuffed to get my order in. I ordered a jumper and a top I like the look of but they'll be going back if they aren't perfect!

domesticslattern · 30/10/2021 10:56

I am stupidly happy with mine! And I actually like the tin it comes in too. Bloody heavy to cart home though.
Roll on 1st December!

Ilikeviognier · 30/10/2021 11:43

I’m dithering. I don’t need another calendar but the m and s one looks really good….afraid of regretting it if I miss out! Also could very easily spend 30 quid on kids stuff…..

Hopeislost · 30/10/2021 13:09

I ordered online and it just arrived! The tin is really nice. Another Aveda lover here! It was the only thing I liked from the summer beauty bag!

Hopeislost · 30/10/2021 16:18

Has anyone opened theirs? Mine only has 12 boxes and each box only has one item in?

Hopeislost · 30/10/2021 16:20

Oh ignore me, there is a whole second layer 🤦‍♀️

To be fair, we don’t need any beauty advent calendar. If we are going to shop purely based on need, we’re all in trouble 😳🤣😂
Ilikeviognier · 30/10/2021 20:01

@AnnieSnap you’re so right…..🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ilikeviognier · 30/10/2021 20:02

Does that mean I can justify ordering it.,….?😬
