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...

I think the cult beauty GWP is really good this time

I'm opening my invisibobble calendar in November - I needed new hair bobbles and like that kind. Got some money off it so brought it down to price it should be

I caved and bought M&S! I had to buy more school trousers for DD and it was just too tempting.

@DrRamsesEmerson at least you were buying stuff anyway! I did an M&S order a few weeks back so didn't need anything else. Made up my spend with a pair of cashmere socks.

Liberty is still in stock - hopefully the buyers aim for new products next year to entice the repeat customers back ?

@PomRuns

Hopefully. I don't think that Liberty has ever still been in stock in November before. Nap is still in stock too which is surprising, as it's better than last years which had sold out by now.

Looks like the restock of F&M has sold out, and I think that space nk has completely sold out too.

M&S usually sells out quickly online but lingers in stores. I wonder whether they decided put more online this year as it's currently still in stock...

I guess that the problem with NAP might be that the price point is just a bit too high for a lot people. People looking in the price bracket seem to prefer Harrods (although personally, I think that the NAP contents is better).

Harrods website says back in. stock soon - admit still tempted by harrods.

I have Fortnums and M&S so far and plan to share JL with a friend if it comes back in stock.

Hard to justify Harrods too

I've just ordered M&S, this thread is enabling! But may save it for DM next year (but take the tin as it will be too heavy for her to carry).

Harrods appears to be in stock now! If you ‘shop all beauty’ it comes up as available! I have definitely decided against it now. Sticking with Fortnums & M&S this year 😊

I just feel the need to point out this box if I haven't already done so. Such good value for £60, I've ordered myself another & one for mil for Christmas. I'm on diy all the way this year with GWP & goody bags

My M&S calendars have arrived. The box is lovely.

I have just had a big fat advent calendar fail with the Cult Beauty one I managed to get one the morning they came in stock and have been reading people's delivery issues and I thought well I am in Ireland so it will be okay! Except it wasn't - it arrived in Ireland and sat for 7 days with Fastway couriers (who ignored emails & don't answer their phones) and then went back to sender - first world problems but am so disappointed & CB can't do anything! And the calendars are coming back into stock early this month but am really nervous to try & buy again

I'm shocked Liberty hasn't sold out ... clearly telling about how consumers feel about the samey same and sizes.

Oh that Sunday Times box looks amazing. I am so tempted, but I'm also waiting to see the Elemis QVC deal! That box does look like great value though. I haven't seen it advertised either.

Here’s the Elemis QVC set (scroll down for the different scent options)

Looks like cult beauty is back tomorrow is anyone is still after it...

Just got an email that cult beauty calendar is available tomorrow

There are so many offers and deals on these days. Competition in the beauty industry is fierce. Liberty need to up their game if they want to stay in it. Seems that they took their customers for granted and assumed that people would buy...

Can I ask how big the m and s one is please? And is it very heavy? Have had it sent to a relative and may ask for it to be sent on, depending on contents.

Dimensions of the box are: 29x24x12. Weight is 2090g

@WhatILoved I have Invisibobble too

Where is the Sunday times box?

I went to M&S today and didn't see any advent calendars

Thanks for the qvc link - feel quite neural about it - depends on cost.
Agree re Liberty - hoping there’s a good GWP offer in February.

Oh no. And it's not like Fastway don't deliver cosmetics. I got my beauty edits from CB via Fastway.

I wonder would it be anything to do with the value? Once it goes over €150 there are tariffs. They should have accounted for that though as they claim to sell duty paid or whatever the term is.

Found it
