Sorry if I've missed anyone

Silver linings then! 😁

@OvaHere definitely! But if anyone else is after one its worth checking at random times

Boots are launching a K Beauty Box on 12/03. No mention of cost yet but Boots edits are usually well priced I think.

It will be a good one for anyone wanting to try out some of the most popular K beauty products.

As much as I love an advent calendar this does not feel right, it is March!!

They hardly sold out so fast last year that anyone will be signing up for one in March.

Blimey @MrsBnow12

Again, very very early but I've just had an email to say that the l'Artisan Parfumeur advent calendar is back in stock, reduced to £230. I didn't know this existed until I'd bought my calendars last year or I would have bought it. It seems to have fallen into my basket 😆😆. I suppose this means that the Penhaligon's calendar will be re diced as well.

I assume that Penhaligon’s 2024 will pop up in the outlets in the autumn like last year.

Ooh thanks for sharing this. Couple of these bits are already in my rotation and running low. Will keep an eye out for this

So let us know what you recommend from it, I bought the recent Style Korean glow box and have started to use two of the products so far and happy with both x

@MrsBnow12 Not in either of the 2 boxes mentioned but can I recommend Numbuzin No 9 NAD Bio - Lifting Essence. Despite the name it's more of a creamy serum than an essence. It's my favourite product at the moment.

@MrsBnow12 so from this box I love the skin1004 centella ampoule (orange bottle with the white bottle top), it's really great for sensitive skin, very soothing so fab if ever feeling irritated (great post shaving!) but I use it generally daily. There's the beauty of joseon spf in there, which is one of my fave spfs. Formula is amazing and no white cast (the larger cream tube). There's the haruharu toner (black/clear bottle) which is a nice toner, it's quite hydrating. It's not my favourite toner ever but nice. And the biodance sheet masks are fab, if you're into sheet masks. Not sure if the small clear bottle with white lid is the Laneige cerapeptide toner? Which is great if it is. The pink tube is the Laneige lip balm in berry, which is a very good lip balm, I've only own the pots though. There's a large cleanser there which I haven't used and I'm unsure what the other two products are. So a great box in my opinion!

@paristotokyo Thank you for such a detailed review of the products, sounds like a great edit to try different k-beauty products and some seem tk come highly recommended.

@paristotokyo

Agree about the BoJ SPF. I'm using that at the moment and it's lovely.

not sure how to add a link, I searched on SNK for their brand.

Thanks @MrsBnow12 I saw an email about this at lunchtime.

Despite me previously saying I wanted this one I think I'm going to pass. There isn't enough in it that I want for £65 and I don't have any vouchers or codes for SpaceNK currently.

The only products I wanted was the balm and the blush with the lip oil being in the nice to try category and they're all very small sizes.

Also in the time this edit took to arrive I've bought two beauty eggs and and the Kate Somerville stuff for the GWP so I need to behave! 😂

I’ve ordered the space NK edit linked above.
I really rate the westman atelier blush stick & the cleansing balm & Elemis pro collagen is my go to face cream. The lip oil will be nice to try & I love a candle & the cute bag.

I am tempted by the Kate Somerville deal as I love the goat milk & the exfolikate cleansers. My only worry is I got a retinol & vit c cream in an advent calendar years ago & it pils on my face. Does anyone know if the peptide cream is similar?

Not tried it as yet @Offredismysister hopefully it's brilliant because I didn't exactly 'need' it.

I hope you enjoy the SpaceNK kit. I'm trying to quell any FOMO feelings. If it was £50 or under I'd have probably bought it but it's not a good enough deal when I only really want 2 items. It's more sensible to look on Vinted for them in a couple of days.

@OvaHere I bought it as wanted the balm for a 2 week work trip and love the blush and Jo Love candles. I will look to sell the Elemis as not one I use and have enough moisturisers in my stash.
@Offredismysister Not able to answer your question re KS piling as I only use the goat milk cleanser but think the offer has ended.

You’re right, I just looked & the Kate Somerville offer has ended. There are other offers now- a mini size eradikate with a £60 spend or a 7 item mystery tote bag with a £100 spend. So I’ll leave it I think.

Think I'll pass on the space nk edit even though I've got quite a lot of credit accumulated. Looks nice and I'd mainly get it for the Elemis which I've literally just run out of (but really should use up others that I have) and the westman atelier blush looks lovely. I prefer cleansing oils really and I really don't like the rare beauty lip oil. I've had two in different kits in the past, one went to a grateful niece and the other on Vinted. And the hair pin is so random lol

And the hair pin is so random lol

I thought so too. 😁

See now, I’ve always wanted to try one of those FF hairpins! But I’d never buy one. That would actually tempt me (however, I am not going to buy the edit as I’ve just placed a big order elsewhere today)

I've been after those hairpins for a few months! Apparently it's the thing to use! But I might have been influenced. I still haven't bought any yet, I keep looking at some on Vintend now and then but don't feel like spending actual money on them without any proof they are good.
As an aside, silk scrunchies are pants - I bought proper expensive ones thin and wide and, yes they don't damage hair, but they're annoying to take off.

@Branster I've watched the hairpin video now. It could actually be quite useful but I do think they could have given the box of 3 or even a special made for edit box of 2. Just one pin does feel a bit random.
