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

545 replies

Bavarois · 30/10/2021 15:59

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...

John Lewis calendar back in stock everyone! I've just ordered.

PomRuns · 09/11/2021 13:49

Me too
😳

Tobogganist · 09/11/2021 13:56

Me too Smile

Oh god no don’t dangle the John Lewis calendar in front of me Sad

Yogaandcocoa · 09/11/2021 14:05

Thank you @Stokey

I tried the marine cream after it came in my LF calendar and I really liked the smell and texture. It was v moisturising but can't say there were any long term effects.

I keep forgetting about Black Friday coming up. Maybe there will be deals on then.

QVC has a few Elemis deals last year.

I got some bargains from Charlotte Tilbury last year in Black Friday week.

BurningTheToast · 09/11/2021 14:07

Thanks for the heads up re JL!

PomRuns · 09/11/2021 14:13

So I now have: JL, Fortnums and m and s.
I will avoid the Elemis deal. I really will.

@rosiebl

John Lewis calendar back in stock everyone! I've just ordered.
Oh no same!

I was unable to resist the combo of CT palette, Deremalogica full size and Sunday Riley. Planning to sell off lots of things I don't need to defray the cost.

Now I AM DONE

clary · 09/11/2021 14:18

@pomruns I have those and CB too. In my defence, M&S is totally for Christmas gifts, I am not planning on keeping any of it really. And I have resisted the lure of the Elemis QVC bundle.

Yogaandcocoa · 09/11/2021 14:24

I think I may resist Elemis too but then will need to find something else to suggest to DH to buy me

Although I don't really need anything, still need something nice to unwrap Grin

PomRuns · 09/11/2021 14:25

That all sounds perfectly reasonable @clary

Dammit, I was not going to go for JL but I had the free winter icons GWP box still lingering in my basket and though I wasn't expecting them to work together, they did and so it seemed churlish not to take advantage!

Ilikeviognier · 09/11/2021 17:39

It’s BAD news for me that John Lewis is available again. Trying very hard to resist….

festivefuschias · 09/11/2021 17:41

Looking forward to the JL thread Grin

LizzieMacQueen · 09/11/2021 18:30

Net a porter is still in stock !

Tobogganist · 09/11/2021 19:47

Thank you @rosiebl for the JL heads up earlier. I am getting a thrill of excitement now that's ordered!! I gave my M&S one to my lovely mum and we can swap bits. Can't wait for 1st December!!

wheresmyshoe · 09/11/2021 19:50

I had a DHL text for Degustabox today, it's being delivered tomorrow.

Offredismysister · 09/11/2021 20:00

@wheresmyshoe I just came on to post the same thing. I forgot I’d ordered it to be honest. I’m giving it DS & he girlfriend.

MrsMcCluskeysCat · 09/11/2021 20:10

I was just thinking about my Degustabox calendar as I was cooking tea, I haven't had a notification to say it's on its way yet but hopefully it won't be too far behind.

wheresmyshoe · 09/11/2021 20:11

Last year's was enormous @Offredismysister definite wow factor.

Bavarois · 09/11/2021 20:59

My Degustabox is arriving tomorrow too! I noticed Planning with Crystal had an unboxing video on YouTube, has anyone seen what's in it? No spoilers if possible, I haven't watched the video as I don't want to know, but just wondering if anyone knows if it's a good selection

Offredismysister · 09/11/2021 21:33

I just watched the Degustabox unboxing as I’m gifting the calendar. Firstly, it’s huge, secondly I wish I’d kept it for myself. It’s really good, only 1 or 2 things I’m not keen on.

DrRamsesEmerson · 09/11/2021 22:40

@wheresmyshoe

I had a DHL text for Degustabox today, it's being delivered tomorrow.
Me too! Very excited about it.
Cocopogo · 09/11/2021 22:47

I’ve just been given the Ted Baker one for my bday. I’m gutted to say the least. I hate it. I’m hoping it’s one of those that surprises me but I doubt it. Last year I was given the Liberty one so this is such a come down. If it was about spending less I could of written a list in that budget of ones I would love. I don’t even own a single Ted Baker product so I think it was just lazy and thoughtless shopping. I can’t even think of anyone I dislike enough to regift it to.
