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...

Yes I think quite a few of us have Cult Beauty! I'm very excited to open it

MiaN · 22/11/2021 15:32

me too for cult beauty please, first year ever I have not opened my advent ahead of time

@supadupapupascupa

Yes I have three now. Ridiculous. Plus signed up to the Liberty drop Blush
I can't talk (well I can...) as I have F&M, CB and a last-minute FOMO purchase of JL! Ah well there were £160-worth of things I would actually buy in that one so...

Very much up for a CB thread

TinyTroubleMaker · 22/11/2021 17:17

Yep I have Space NK and Cult Beauty. Plus a few other beauty bits from Gwp etc

Im keen for a CB thread - keep meaning to open it early as Ive run out of serum, face cream and eye cream so 1 Dec can't come quickly enough!

I wanted to get 1 or 2 more but haven't managed to get round to it. Ive been haunting M&S this week on the promise of getting more in but the store doesn't seem to know what they're getting in each week. I will head down there tomorrow. There's nothing I want to buy really but then again you can always find something in M&S......

Yes I had to get DH to root through and find me a cleanser as I had run out and didn't want to buy more Grin. Also got him to get me something specific out of my Feel Unique one too.
Yogaandcocoa · 22/11/2021 18:45

I didn't buy any of the main calendars as o have so much stuff I'm selling brand new make up on Vinted but will follow and love vicariously through you all Grin

Jooox · 22/11/2021 19:02

A Liberty beauty drop sounds like something I definitely don’t need.

Where can I sign up? Grin

Looking forward to the space nk thread.

Babysharkdoodoodood · 22/11/2021 20:57

Is there going to be a generic advent thread, for those of us who didn't get one of the big names?Grin

@Babysharkdoodoodood - Is there going to be a generic advent thread, for those of us who didn't get one of the big names?

Presumably. The waifs and strays thread was the best last year. Posters had all sorts of exciting things.

PomRuns · 22/11/2021 21:16

Is next sign up for lIberty drop December?

TheDuchessOfMN · 23/11/2021 08:29

@OchonAgusOchonOh The boots beauty box is back in stock online. I’ve ordered it for store pickup on 2nd December. I figured that might be a quicker delivery than direct to me.

Here’s the €10 off if you want to order again

I still haven’t had a response from boots to cancel my original order. I hope I don’t end up with two 🤦‍♀️

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 23/11/2021 11:32

I've started a H&B thread

I'm also looking forward to the general thread - it was really fun to see what everyone else was getting.

I've done a really good job of running down odds and ends of products in anticipation of December - can't wait to get going!

MrsMcCluskeysCat · 23/11/2021 11:48

Yes I'm impressed with how much I've managed to get through in anticipation of December!

Tobogganist · 23/11/2021 12:03

Liberty back in stock!

Damn it.

MiaN · 23/11/2021 13:36

I bought the by terry and I hate to admit but I opened all of it. I think if you want to try the brand and like makeup and get a discount it's great one. Probably not if you are looking for skincare mainly or full price.

Thank you. Hopefully we will get one. I could pick it up in store too.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 23/11/2021 14:27

It's coming up as out of stock for me Sad. Not in stock in my local shops either.

TheDuchessOfMN · 23/11/2021 14:37

It was in stock online this morning Sad It says that it will be in stock again, and I’d guess it will be in stock in stores from 2/12
