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

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...

Meh. It doesn't even list the weight of the chocolates. Most chocolate calendars do so you work out what you're paying for...

I’m joining this thread, my glossybox calendar arrived last week

Luvacuppatea · 04/11/2021 11:34

Harrods appears to be in stock again, should anyone still be after it .....

TokyoSushi · 04/11/2021 11:41

My M&S is arriving on Tuesday, first-ever beauty advent calendar after wanting one for years, excited!

PomRuns · 04/11/2021 13:03

ooh tempting @Luvacuppatea

shinny · 04/11/2021 13:49

Ive got CB hidden away but was going to get another 1 or 2.

Can't decide between M&S or Asos (Asos has big discount on their app today) as products both look good and there's nothing I need to buy in M&S. Wish you could use the money in Food rather than Home / Clothing.

Ive also run out of serum and day cream so need to hold on or start opening early!!!

Any suggestions for which AC to buy - Asos or M&S??????

Yogaandcocoa · 04/11/2021 14:42

I prefer M&S but it's what you like really

MidnightMeltdown · 04/11/2021 14:44

I think that M&S is better, but it comes down to which products you will use.

Yogaandcocoa · 04/11/2021 14:47

I have an email with a code for £15 off Glossybox calendar

Haven't really read much on here indicating it has been in demand

PlanetMadskull · 04/11/2021 15:26

I've got Glossybox (amongst others!) and I've opened it already as I've had Covid and felt rubbish. No spoilers but one thing in particular made it worth it for me.

xmasturkey · 04/11/2021 16:08

I have had problems to decide what calendar to get. I have H&B already but not sure what else to get. I was thinking of LF and JL but both are oos. M&S is ok but I don't know what to buy for £30 worth. I have 20% off beauty&clothes voucher but I still can't decide. I could get l'occitane calendar for £44 with the voucher.

Luvacuppatea · 04/11/2021 16:39

I’ve remained strong @PomRuns 😂. I think that if Harrods had come back into stock immediately after the first sell-out, I would have gone for it, but as time has gone on I’ve managed to convince myself that I really don’t want/need it!

Jooox · 04/11/2021 16:53

You’re all so persuasive! I wish I had a thread of people like you enabling me to eat healthily, work harder or exercise. But I don’t so I won’t Grin

PomRuns · 04/11/2021 19:05

@Jooox maybe in January ???
@Luvacuppatea ok I’ll be strong too …

PomRuns · 04/11/2021 19:07

Btw I took something back to m and s today - asked if I needed to exchange as it was my £30 order for the calendar- they just refunded me, said I’d paid £40 for the advent and didn’t matter ???

They’ve always done that. They can’t take the calendar back as it could have had products used or removed and there’s no way to tell.
TracyBeakerSoYeah · 04/11/2021 19:27

Now this would have made a great advent calendar (or you could use it to fill up an old calendar if the bits fit)

I'm really surprised with that Boots didn't make it into an Advent.
The Boots Beauty Showstopper 2021 is £80

Ok I ordered M&S together with pyjamas. Now I have H&B and M&S and that's it.

Giftwithpurchase · 04/11/2021 20:29

@TracyBeakerSoYeah wow that Boots box is amazing!

PomRuns · 04/11/2021 20:45

Love the boots box - also tempting, but I might get the qvc Elemis bundle.

Eaumyword · 04/11/2021 21:58

Wow, that Boots box looks incredible! I wonder if it will come down in price? Obvs it is a great price already for big names (Pixi etc) but I'd love them to discount it just for meee..

MidnightMeltdown · 04/11/2021 22:31

Looks quite good, but the big ticket item (eyeshadow palette) doesn't appeal to me. Just as well as I've already spent enough on calendars, and absolutely do not need more!

Jooox · 05/11/2021 09:35

Grin maybe @PomRuns

I’ve decided to open my M&S from today. Woke up to the cold and thought why not!

The boots box looks great. I might get it and divide into gifts for my sister and niece.
