Beauty advent 22 part 2 (massive spoilers)

[Zeeza]

I don't know the etiquette of starting a runover of someone else's thread. I hope this is OK.

Reminder advent22 gives a hand-wash and handcream free gift on space nk.

I bought it, but now I have alight regret. I should have held out to see what harrods had.

The CEO cream wasn't 5oz as had been trailed on many calendar sites, but 0.5oz, 15ml. 5oz would have been a ridiculous size so that makes sense.

Doesn't seem like great value to me. If I'm having items chosen for me, I want them to be worth at least 3 times the cost of the calendar

My Harrods fragrance calendar hasn’t arrived yet - status still “waiting to be shipped” 🙁

I’ve now done some final updates and tweaks to my spreadsheet, and added Harrods. As others have said, it was worth a closer look - it’s come out surprisingly well on my analysis. I don’t need another one, but it is tempting.

Hahaha I bet somehow you will 'manage' to justify it though!

I'm more or less convinced now...

Plus @Auntpodder how many will they sell? It's not a bad idea for a calendar though

@SoloCat ooh Liberty as well. Honestly I'm going to need to step away from this thread as I'm well on my way to buying even more!

@AprilLady this is a superb spreadsheet.

I’ll be really interested to see. I registered interest because I’m interested in that very thing but there’s no way I’ll be buying one…

@Auntpodder I have also looked at that but it's pricey, even if it does give a great saving...

I can't for the life of me think I know anyone who could pull off those knot green dangly earrings!

FeelUnique are doing an A/C so have registered my interest

Can't wait to see what's in it!

Feel unique was a flop last year. They were still selling them with a heavy discount a couple of months ago. We'll see whether they've learned anything...

Folded and got JL. And then DH told me he’s got me Anthropologie for my birthday. So from no calendar to two. Oops.

Still a bit sad I resisted Harrods Fragrance but I’ll be fine.

Does anyone know what jo loves has ?

@AprilLady I’m seriously impressed with your analysis - in fact I might show DH and set him the challenge to calculate similarly for me next year. I’ve scribbled in the back of my diary and it’s nowhere near as impressive 😀

@EasterIssland details are here: beautyadventcalendar.net/jo-loves-advent-calendar-2022/ I really like that you get a voucher for a full size perfume in the calendar.

Thanks @CurlyFerret

Thanks @AprilLady too many fragrances for my liking (I’ve got 3 currently from byredo … wish byredo did a advent calendar!))

I really liked the luxurious feel of F&M, and have been very tempted myself. I don’t blame you for opening it at all…,but agreed that you definitely needed one, or two for December 😁

I’d buy them all if I could afford to…

I'm joining you. Just ordered the JL with the £15 off. That expires at midnight.

Looking forward to 1 December.

Tbh, I'm staggered about how good you all are waiting until December to open 🤣🤣🤣

I enjoy opening them every morning in the run up to Christmas so much that it genuinely never occurs to me to want to open them early. It makes me happy all December.

Do you think so? I bought it for my dear friend's birthday..I really hope she liked it. Why was it a flop?

I wonder if Feel Unique just produced too many, I and I think everyone else who had it on the general advent thread really enjoyed it, small sizes but some great products.

@BrokeAsABone

Just because they hard time shifting it. They reduced it a few times after Christmas and still couldn't sell it. It was still in stock over the summer at a heavily reduced price.

I'm sure that your friend would have enjoyed it. It had some nice products in it. I think the main issue was the sizes. They were changing £100+ as far as I remember, and it was full of minis.

I have to confess I did check drawer 6 in Liberty, just to check it wasn’t empty..someone just happened to mention it was the Peony perfume and I couldn’t resist. Apart from that I’ve been good so far..not sure how long my resolve will last though 😬

I haven't even unsealed the cardboard box it came in. I suspect once I start that I might not stop! So no unpacking until 30 Nov when I hopefully don't find out they sent the wrong thing. 😂

dithering between Anthropologie and John Lewis- can anyone tell me the sizes in the Anthropologie? Are they very mini??
