Beauty Advent Calendars *spoiler alert - contents discussed within thread*

[ithoughtisawapuddycat]

Is it too soon for a thread on these? I remember last year they were all coming out or going on sale in September so not too far off.

I got the spacenk one last year and it was first ever beauty advent calendar and I loved it. Still using some of the products and have gone to purchase at least five items in full size, two of them multiple times.

This year I'll get the spacenk one again but might also go for the cult beauty as well.

Title amended by MNHQ to alert folk to the presence of spoilers within the thread.

The ByTerry A/C looks good too

Have you had the F&M one before? I’m looking forward to a Christmas thread as we open them !

I haven't @Nearlyadoctor but really looking forward to opening it!

This William Morris one came up in Google ads for £45, I think it would be a lovely gift. Very useable items, handbag size hand creams. And such a beautiful box. One of my main criteria, if I don’t think I’ll re-use the box I’m not getting it.

3 x 10g scented bath fizzer
4 x 40g relaxing bath salts sachets
4 x 30ml gentle hand & body washes
4 x 30ml fragrant foam baths
9 shea butter enriched scented hand creams (8x15ml, 1x30ml).

That's a great idea I might start doing that next year

Me neither - but I think I’ll use everything 🤞

I’m actually quite tempted by Anthropologie. Nothing massive thrilling but looks good, and a bit more interesting than the M&S staples.

That’s bloody brilliant for £78. I bought the nail polish last week and it was £14.

Not bad!

I wish they would put the sizes of the products in the Anthropologie AC. I wish JL would hurry up and release their contents too.

I suspect for the price the Anthropologie stuff is mostly tiny. I’ll wait for it to appear on their website to see how robbed I’d feel!

Holland&Barrett now available for £55.

I wonder if JL won’t release until after the mourning period
I really want to know what goodies they have to, don’t want to order Liberty beforehand.

Get the liberty one then get the JL one too if you like the look of it

It's what her maj would have wanted.

ASOS calendar ordered Sat evening and arrived this morning, the actual calendar is in the tote bag and smells divine . I’m guessing the Neom candle - hoping Dd will be pleased come December.

So wise !

Anyone getting the H&B one? I’m dithering.

I’ve just ordered the H&B one. I’ve had it twice before and it suits me as I use everything in it.

I have had H&B last two years but I haven't decided yet if I am going to get it this year. I already have last year's Bodyshop calendar.

I don’t feel there’s that much I really want in the H & B. Might wait and see if I can get an Evolve/Q&A gift box. Does anyone know of any other vegan multi-brand beauty calendars?

@PomRuns I'm also holding out for JL contents before ordering Liberty, I hope they are announced in time.

@PanicAtTheBigTesco if they do the points offer in Liberty, I think we could justify both.

@PomRuns good point!

@PanicAtTheBigTesco we'll easily be able to justify. I might email JL, I asked in store on Friday. Apparently Christmas sets will be out in 2 weeks but she didn't know re AC.

I won't buy from H&B as the private investment company that owns Holland & Barratt is owned (well 50% of it) by 2 Russian Oligarchs with ties to Putin.
I know they've resigned from the H&B board & I think have been sanctioned but still own half the private equity firm.
I'm presuming that when Ukraine finally kicks Russia out & the war is over, sanctions will be lifted so those oligarchs will get their grubby mitts on the profits that were once sanctioned?

Apologies if I've got this totally wrong & someone else now owns H&B?
