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...

[quote TheDuchessOfMN]@OchonAgusOchonOh I just got an email from boots saying that my Boots beauty box (the one I ordered to the store) has now been cancelled.

Have you received yours?[/quote]
No. Nothing from them. I ordered it for home delivery. It's really bad form, taking the order and then not delivering.

TheDuchessOfMN · 30/11/2021 18:48

@OchonAgusOchonOh Very annoying. I requested a refund for my one that I ordered for home delivery. It was that or order a replacement, but I know they’re not in stock.

Hopefully yours turns up though

Pretty unlikely, I'd say.

@TheDuchessOfMN - email just arrived to say it was cancelledSad. No advent for me then.

Oh no Sad
The only one I can find is Feel unique for €95.

Even Brown Thomas sold out Shock

Really poor from Boots, not to honour their orders. Once would be understandable, but repeatedly…

VelvetVole · 30/11/2021 19:36

I ordered a Boots Beauty box too that never showed up - chased and was told it had been dispatched. Other items ordered at the same time arrived but not the Beauty box - so annoying as now out of stock. I'm not sure what Boots are playing at this year but this is the second parcel to go astray from them this Christmas.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 30/11/2021 19:37

Just realised jadvent was auto corrected to advent in my post. I have 2 for advent but was using the boots one for jadvent.

I probably have too much stuff anyway.

But yes, very poor form.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 30/11/2021 19:39

@VelvetVole - are you in Ireland too? I reckon it's an issue due to restrictions on what can be shipped by air with the dispatched ones. No excuse for the one that hasn't shipped.

VelvetVole · 30/11/2021 19:44

No, I'm in the UK so they can't even use that as an excuse!

Ochon it never seems to go smoothly for you with advent calendar deliveries. What a pain!!

@LastSummerHere

Ochon it never seems to go smoothly for you with advent calendar deliveries. What a pain!!
I know! Is the universe conspiring to tell me I have enough products and shouldn't buy any more?
ApolloandDaphne · 30/11/2021 23:12

I have my Rituals one ready to go! Can't wait.

JustWhatIAlwaysWanted · 03/12/2021 10:09

Bumping to ask if anyone's seen any remaining, post Black Friday bargains on calendars? I'm enjoying mine but would be up for a sneaky Jadvent addition if there's anything good left.

smellyelli · 10/12/2021 10:18

Glossy box and LF had glossybox advent calendar for £15 for a short while. I am not sure what I will receive, an empty calendar? I used promo code so got it for £12+P&p.

MidnightMeltdown · 06/01/2022 23:57

Fortnum and Mason back in stock!!

Net a Porter also still in stock - and on sale!

ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers · 04/11/2022 21:12

Hi all! Loving reading these threads. I had a Cath Kidston calendar last year, I liked it, but haven't finished using all the products yet, so wanted something a bit different for this year. Have brought an ASOS one for this year, I've heard good things about it, so can't wait to test it out ❤️

CountryCob · 05/11/2022 09:11

@ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers I have had AS0S before and enjoyed it. Also sorry to hear an annoying for the ladies with the Boots let down
