Beauty Advent Calendars 2021 Thread 4 - One month to go! (Spoilers)

[Bavarois]

Hope nobody minds me starting the next thread but we'd hit 1000 posts!

F&M has arrived and something in it smells fantastic. I also got the note about the replacement product but I'm fairly sure that's the product that I'd seen advertised so it doesn't make any difference to me.

M&S is great value, as long as you'll use the stuff. I can always use an eyeliner so for me the two eyeliners more or less justified the £40 spend. Or that's how I justified it to myself anyway...

I've got over 60quid on boots points. Are there any sets in black fri particularly worth it?

QVC Elemis this week and I've got two £5 off vouchers in the post

The Elemis set looks lovely; I may spring for it again since I'm almost out of the night cream and halfway through my marine cream.

The YOU Beauty Advent Calendar popped up today ... looks decent, even though I think I'm done with Advent calendar purchases this year.

I've just ordered the boots showstopper. The plan is for Jadvent. The reality may be different...

So sorry to ask dumb questions but what is Jadvent?

Opening an advent calendar in January

Aha! Thanks. That’s a great idea. January is grim. Will there be a thread on it?

Just ordered the M&S one using the offer. Can’t wait for it to arrive! Time will tell whether I’m disciplined enough to open it day by day during advent.

That said, I’m still waiting for my Red Beauty Box too which I got for £40 as a subscriber. Has anyone else ordered that? I’ve been waiting a few weeks now

So I gave in and got the very last M&S calendar available in store (can’t get it online here). Complete last minute fold, bought alongside the kids’ Christmas PJs. Not entirely sure it was the right thing to do but totally collapsed under the FOMO of no beauty advent calendar at all.

@TheDuchessOfMN - For anyone in Ireland, this code takes €10 off the Boots beauty box.

Thank you for the code. It worked for me.

Looks like M&S is now sold out online

I’ve been avoiding this thread in case I got tempted. Almost bought the M&S last weekend but resisted.

I succumbed to Caroline Hirons’s pop up shop and kits on Monday. Now sorted for skincare until 2025 I think! There were products I really like in them and some I wanted to try.

I need a no buy 2022 for sure. And more storage!

I'm eyeing the Beauty Glow Box by Red which is £48 at the moment, so £3 per product, plus I can go via topcashback and get over 10% back that way. Has things I like and would like to try in it.

Think it says 7-10 days to arrive? So I'd be contacting them if it was a few weeks!

The QVC Elemis deal is now live www.qvcuk.com/product.244824.html?sc=PRODFEED

I had completely forgotten about it but I had mentioned it to DH last week who has then seen it on Twitter this morning (I think he must have actually been listening to me for once when I mentioned the QUncovered account someone recommended unthread!) and text me to ask which one it was I wanted!

Just received an email that Space NK back in stock - limited apparently

That's weird. They said previously that it had completely sold out, and they're saying back with very limited availability. Sounds a bit like they've just rustled some from out of the back of a cupboard somewhere!

M&S arrived today and it looks good! It's good it doesn't look like traditional advent calendar because dc would complain why I have two calendars and they have only one.

Has it sold out already since this morning?

Thought I'd update on my Spanish Sephora calendar. It's lovely. Only €39 as well, plus got loads of free samples when I asked
Review of it here www.shape.com/lifestyle/beauty-style/sephora-2021-holiday-vibes-advent-calendar

Really wished Sephora us shipped here as I can't understand the French site, even using chrome to translate.

@Jooox yep looks like it's sold out now - was available when I checked at 10.30am .. poss could be in store tho still

Has it? I can still see it and add to it to my bag. Haven't tried checking out as I don't want to buy!

@MidnightMeltdown IT WORKED!!!

Thank you!!!

I can’t believe it. You lot and your super advent calendar powers! I’m holding you personally responsible for this unplanned spend

I don’t know what come over me. I was finished. Done with advent calendar shopping. This thread is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, financially
