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

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.

It's actually anything up to 30% off you just don't know until you checkout, I got 28% yesterday.

Don't @OchonAgusOchonOh she is just so irritating!

I think that the calendar looks really good though. I like that it's skincare heavy.

Yes, I like the skincare focus too. And while I do think there is too much hair stuff, I can probably get over that.

Ideally, remove 3 of the hair masks and the hair spray and replace with hand cream, another face mask, a face oil and another candle or reed diffuser.

Oh Degustabox! I had planned to get one for dh but then a chocolate company in my country made a very good calendar. We are ordering one for sil and ds wants one too. If we buy three the postage is free so we will order three. Dd is not sure what calendar she wants so the third goes to Dh. He is tight with money and wouldn't want to have two calendars. I will have Bodyshop. Maybe next year then

This looks quite interesting. The Little Earring Company are doing two Advent calendars. 12 or 24 days. Seems good value and may be good for teens or someone who likes earrings.

@MidnightMeltdown @OchonAgusOchonOh haha I watched that unboxing yesterday - just so irritating and hated the way she said 'serum' 😂

(Does look good tho..)

And most of the sizes look big too.

I might do that. I've resisted until now as I don't often buy from Liberty - and now here I am eyeing up the advent calendar 🙄

There’s a box due in October if that encourages you 😊

AmethystMoonShine · 15/09/2022 21:08

@I8toys the degusta box looks to be 41.99 I was wondering if you have a code to get the lower price you mentioned?

Roundaboot · 15/09/2022 21:26

Try ADVENT2022_48 for the Degustabox calendar. I ordered mine today 😁

AmethystMoonShine · 15/09/2022 21:56

Thanks @Roundaboot worked perfectly. Now I’ve got that for DH, and a body shop for dd from brand alley, I feel better about my F&M 😂

LookdeepintotheParka · 15/09/2022 22:42

Thanks for the heads up on Degusta Box and the discount - just ordered for DH 😀

MidnightMeltdown · 16/09/2022 00:35

Thanks @PomRuns 😊

CountryCob · 16/09/2022 07:56

Thanks I have ordered that box too, was quite curious about it in the advent threads last year

Diplidocus4 · 16/09/2022 08:15

I've just ordered Degustabox always seems popular on here and never had a food one !

Debating beauty as usually get H&B and M&S so not sure now .

OchonAgusOchonOh · 16/09/2022 10:08

I've watched the unboxings for CB and Liberty and of the 2, CB is the one for me I think. I like Liberty but as two of the products I am keen on are perfumes and they will presumably substitute those for international shipping, the ratio of love to ok is much lower for Liberty.

I also really like the Birchbox one but I'm not sure I trust them to refund customs charges as they claim they will do. Their post brexit information on customs is out of date, which doesn't give me confidence.

SoloCat · 16/09/2022 14:25

Oh my…I watched the CB unveiling, it was like nails down a blackboard 😩 I’d discounted CB but it does look quite a good one.
I watched the F&M unveiling and I’m not overly excited. Now looking at buying the Liberty as I have the credit and I can’t make a firm decision on any…then FOMO sets in 😁
Anyone know anything about Harrods?

Zeeza · 16/09/2022 14:54

So it looks like space nk isn't being launched today as trailed. I suppose that isn't a surprise

Zeeza · 16/09/2022 14:59

Ah, really ree says it will be out next Friday.

First details on the Harrods calendar - which turns out to be two calendars. No product details yet, but I’m quite excited by the idea of a 12 day multi-brand Harrods fragrance calendar. Hope the information on contents will come soon (and before the Liberty calendar comes out!)

Also good to see one calendar which hasn’t increased in price from last year.

MidnightMeltdown · 16/09/2022 19:18

22 full sizes sounds promising

This time last year John Lewis had announced theirs so I guess that they're waiting until after the funeral

PomRuns · 16/09/2022 19:50

Ah Harrods may confuse my Liberty/JL plan.

Giftwithpurchase · 16/09/2022 20:30

22 out of 25 full sized products in Harrods ... interesting ...(gets credit card ready..)

Looks promising but I’m not sure we will find out the details before Liberty launch, and only 24 hour discount for beauty drop members.
Its all a bit of a gamble…but once again I see it’s an AB product, although I hope it’s something different to the normal facial moisturisers.
At this rate I’ll end up with none or three 😁

PomRuns · 16/09/2022 22:45

@AprilLady are you aiming for one ? I seem
to remember Harrods was in stock a while last year as was Liberty. Bit mean to only do the discount for 24 hours ….
