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...

Thanks @Offredismysister! I've got it for DP but I don't want to ruin the surprise for myself either.

@Cocopogo That's a shame it's not one that would appeal to me either, although having checked the contents it's also not awful and I could probably use the stuff up. I just probably wouldn't get much pleasure from using it up. Could you sell it on eBay? Looks like it's OOS on Boots so someone must be buying them.

No worries @Tobogganist I've loved following this thread so I felt it important to share the love 🥰

@LizzieMacQueen

Net a porter is still in stock !

Harrods says 'coming soon' which suggests that they are expecting more stock too. We're doing well this year. I'm sure that this time last year practically everything was out of stock!

@Bavarois

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

I've just watched the video and bought a calendar with the discount code. I blame you entirely @Bavarois

@Cocopogo It's not one I'd choose for myself but I think it's mainly products you could hopefully use and you'll still have something to open every day.

Still no text off DHL but I found how to track my Degustabox on the website and the DHL website says it's out for delivery today, it's going to be very hard not to open it but it's to share with DH so I really can't!

Aww @Cocopogo I'd be disappointed with Ted baker too. Can you exchange it?

There's a neom box on lookfantastic that's a great buy so I've also succumbed to that even though I still have about 6 neom candles left from last year's qvc deal 😬

I end up getting by terry with 25% code. All codes over last month have not worked for the advent, and without much researching I just went for it.
I already fully opened M&S
Rituals is our family advent
By Terry will be Jadvent I think
And Cult beauty starting from 1st of December

I think I have enough :)

is Degustabox only shipping to UK?

Ted Baker looks like it’s mainly bodycare - I’d be disappointed if it were facial care but I’m happy to use anything on my body. Looks like a lovely gift to me. Can’t you buy your own AC too?

Amazon calendar £59.50 now

Yay to the JL AC being back in stock. The winter box has been patiently sitting in my basket hoping for its return.

I only realised this morning as I was browsing waterproof coats.

I did this last year bought the No 7 AC determined not to buy a pricey one then bam FOMO I just can't resist or control myself

My Degusta AC is coming today so I'm excited about that too.

I realised I'm running out of quite a few skin care items and haven't needed to buy any skin care all year so I should be sorted with JL and No 7 for the next year plus I still have a few items left over from last years AC.

Hmmn now need to look at Degustabox

My degusta just been delivered - by DHL no less, so all v easy and on time etc
Very big box - hope it's packed with treats! Haven't seen any spoilers about contents so will be total surprise unlike CB!

Hurrah Degusta AC Box has arrived. It's fabulously huge

My Degustabox one has just arrived, it's massive! Looking forward to that.

My boots box has arrived. Good grief it's huge. Would be great for filling a calendar!

Woop my Degustabox has arrived too, I can't believe the size!

In a way I'm more excited for this than my beauty AC's as I have absolutely no idea what's in it, well apart from one product as I didn't read the front of the little booklet properly and just opened it and saw what one of the products is 🤦🏼‍♀️

So if anyone is like me and doesn't read things properly and also doesn't want any spoilers DON'T LOOK IN THE BOOKLET

Oooo exciting day for goodies arriving.

Does anyone have a picture of the Degustabox? I haven’t ordered one but intrigued by you all commenting on its size.

I’m refusing to give in and get JL. I have to show some self control. Maybe.

My plan is to refill M&S with the contents of this for advent.

I think my Boots showstopper is coming from the UK as it was dispatched 2 days ago and hasn't shown up on the An Post tracking system yet. I hope it gets here soon as there will be no one at home during the day next week from wednesday on.

@OchonAgusOchonOh My original email said that mine is arriving tomorrow.
I’d imagine that An Post are already swamped with Christmas orders.

That is true. Particularly with the potential for brexit reverting to a no-deal brexit and the general supply chain issues on top of that.

How long did yours take from dispatch? The only email I got said it was dispatched, with no indication of how long it would take.
