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.

I went to have another look at the space nk one. I was on the fence then I saw it was 30 quid off a 150 spend. I thought that was worth it, added it to my cart and went to buy. No discount. Went back to look if there was a code to add. Nope. Went back to check out. No discount. Looked at the terms and conditions, not including advent calendar 🙄

So irritating. Either do the "£30 off everything" and include it or make it clearer.

I will get John lewis instead.

Yes that got my hopes up too

ithoughtisawapuddycat · 21/09/2022 10:47

I bought the SpaceNK one this morning. It will give me over £10 of loyalty points although didn't get the £30 off they advertise.

I have the unlimited next day delivery so will see if it does actually turn up tomorrow. Samples at the moment included the new Stella McCartney serum so excited to try that.

Will be looking at the JL one and will either get that or the CB one.

Once the value of an order goes over €150 additional tariffs kick in. I'm surprised though that they will ship to Ireland and not to Spain as it's the same issue.

Exactly. This is the reason I specifically asked the question. And was told it would be fine as duty / tariff would then be calculated for me to pay, hence my annoyance.

You get a free flourish on space nk if you use the advent22 code

LaBrujaPiruja · 21/09/2022 10:50

OchonAgusOchonOh · 21/09/2022 10:21

Just thought - if you try the Irish site, they ship to Spain too. Maybe they have an EU hub that they use? It's not available on the Irish site yet.

Thanks!

bootseason · 21/09/2022 10:50

Ps I managed to avoid buying it, just!

Is that the hand wash? I like that one.

bootseason · 21/09/2022 10:59

Yes the hand wash and the cream are in that code as a free gift

Zeeza · 21/09/2022 10:59

Thats a great code, thank you. May I ask where you found it?

bootseason · 21/09/2022 11:00

Email from them as I was on the waitlist for the calendar but still dithering over it.

Zeeza · 21/09/2022 11:32

How interesting. I should have dithered more

KimmySchmitt · 21/09/2022 15:33

Really struggling to decide if I want JLP, Selfridges or neither! I prefer the candle and fragrances in Selfridges but the creams, serums and bath oil from JLP. And ultimately I don't need either.

By the way, initially I thought the palette in Selfridges was CT Queen of Glow (this is listed on beautyadventcalendar.net) but ReallyRee has it listed as CT Golden Goddess (which looks more like the one in the photo). Just a PSA in case that is swaying anyone's decision.

I got the email about the availability so went in to check. I'm afraid the only delivery options are Uk and Ireland so no good to you.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 21/09/2022 16:50

@ithoughtisawapuddycat - you're going to need to start a new thread soon😀. We're obviously very enthusiastic here.

Probably a good idea to do it soon so we can include a link to it in this thread.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 21/09/2022 10:25

Sorry, should have included the link - www.spacenk.com/ie/home

Just checked on the Space Nk Irish site and I can't seem to find the Advent Calendar?

Try it from this link. I think she gets early access. It’s the fourth or fifth one down

beautyadventcalendar.net

Gazelda · 21/09/2022 17:08

I had the L'Occitane last year and kept the box. I've ordered the refill (£120), because I know I'll enjoy using most if not all.
I ordered through Quidco and get 3% cash back.
And they've got a gift set valued at £45 for free on all orders over £120.
And free delivery.

All in all, I'm quite happy.

@KimmySchmitt - Selfridges site has it as Queen of Glow

Thank you so much Duchess....your link works😎

AnSionnachGlic · 21/09/2022 17:46

I am so excited...bought my first Advent Calendar of '22... Space NK and they have free delivery to Ireland ! I'd better hide this thread or I may be tempted by another😄

Twinsandsome · 21/09/2022 17:48

I think I’m set on JL unless harrods surprizes me. Has anyone used the dermalogica product before? I’m really impressed with them putting a full size setting powder unlike a lot of the more expensive calendars doing tiny sizes. Also think they have a good mix of products all sizes seem good and full size NEOM candle could have again went for a travel size so that’s impressive x

I noticed. Thanks anyway.
I will have to buy Look Fantastic although I do not like it at all; don’t want to wait for Cult Beauty as I need to buy 2 and it is too much an expense.

Sorry, mad busy day. I didn't think of adding the early access link. It's here
