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...

@Jooox

Glad that you finally got one 😊

Think I've perfected my skills in hunting down beauty calendars. Might add it to my cv 🤣

I would definitely hire you @MidnightMeltdown

@Jooox yey glad you got it!

SpaceNK does look amazing, but I'm standing firm with the 2 I bought.

I'm disappointed with the QVC Elemis one because it doesn't include one of the nice night creams and instead has two cleansers. I don't need 2 cleansers, I'm almost out of night cream and marine cream!
Argh. So will likely pass on that one this time.

Luckily there's the pro collagen night cream in one of my AC's so it will complete the set for me!

Liberty Calendar still in stock! I'm shocked like you @MidnightMeltdown but agree with you I think they need to up their game. I adore the Liberty calendar but this year went for M&S - M&S no longer in stock online I see.

Im still tempted to get another since the M&S one was a complete bargain.

I’m so bloody weak - I’ve just sat here & opened the whole M & S calendar 😩🤦‍♀️
So disappointed in myself 🤬

Aw don't worry Football. Did you enjoy it at least? I've done that myself most years. My friend ALWAYS does it with her one and only calendar (that I buy her for her birthday). Have you another one to open?

Don't feel bad @Footballfrenzy2021 a good advent binge not in December is part of the fun! Could you maybe put it back together and use it as a jadvent? Bet you'll have forgotten the contents by then!

I also came to post about the QVC Elemis deal.

I was going to ask DH to get it for me for Christmas but also disappointed only one cream as that's what I want really.

I do have two £5 codes that came in the post but not sure that is enough

Think I have a £10 referral code if anyone else wants it.

There are other Elemis deals on qvc usually so I may look out for a better marine cream one.

Then again the marine cream 30ml alone is £55

I’ve still got the SNK
I’ve got myself a special basket for each calendar contents.
My basket from lasts years unused products is still goading me.
I love 💕 it though . I’m over the guilt now & deciding which products to re-gift (I won’t) (maybe the hair care products).

I just caved and bought SpaceNK as they had recently sent me a 20% off code

No fancy candle with Liberty this year not getting one.

@Tobogganist

I'm curious to see how long Liberty stays in stock. The editors notes on the website say:

The original Beauty Advent Calendar – and still the best – this year's long-awaited line-up is our highest-value ever, worth £844. Due to popular demand, it won't be around for long – so place your order quickly to avoid disappointment!

Think they've counted their chickens a bit too early - not seeing a lot of popular demand! Wondering whether they will now have the embarrassment of having to reduce it (given that it's a seasonal item).

@MidnightMeltdown amazed it’s still in stock after the £40 voucher thing last weekend.

Is anyone getting the Elemis set? What are their body products like? I'm in two minds as I was hoping to get some marine cream on a good deal.

Some Elemis seems to be on offer on Amazon today on their pre Black Friday sales.

@Yogaandcocoa

Is anyone getting the Elemis set? What are their body products like? I'm in two minds as I was hoping to get some marine cream on a good deal.

DH has bought it for me but I've never tried their body products, the balm and marine cream make it worth it for me and I'd been wanting to try the body products so I thought I might as well give it a go!

I really like the nourishing shower wash.

No, I got the Elemis AC last year and while I enjoyed trying and using all the products I didn’t discover any HGs.

I'm quite tempted as I'd like to try the Elemis cleansers and body butter. I'm using their marine cream at the moment, but haven't been using it long enough to know how much I like it.

It has a good consistency, but a very strong synthetic perfume scent which I don't really like.

I really rate the Elemis balm but completely agree about the overwhelming fragrance of the marine cream. I need a deal for the balm I think.

@MidnightMeltdown it's interesting to watch! I agree Liberty have underestimated the competition and even though they have increased the value of the box the contents are not as attractive as they were ... marginally... the Dyptique candle has gone, Suzanne Kaufmann oils replaced with cheaper bubble bath... I still love it though. It's the aromatherapy oils, luxury face creams, Le Labo Another 13 that give me the thrills!
Will keep an eye out for a discount but expect we won't see it online so if anyone sees it in store let us know!
