Beauty advent 22 part 2 (massive spoilers)

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.

Is this the main thread for beauty advent? I'm a bit lost. Has the marks and Spencer one come out yet?

Thanks - I was following a thread but it must have filled up and I couldn't see the next thread on.

I can't seem to find details on the Harvey Nichols GWP - that might swing it for me if it's good. Does anyone have a link? TIA

I got it and it was really lovely, right up my alley. Better than most ACs! Even thr bag was useful.

Remember you need to sign up to their scheme and buy another product as well.

Mine didn't come so I had to ring up and ask. My products were sent from lots of different stores so maybe they all thought it didn't reach the 225 spend.

The Cosmetips X Molly Mae Vol 3 box would be an amazing present - really lovely products in there

LaBrujaPiruja · 07/10/2022 14:20

Really worried about LF. Would cancel and buy Cult Beauty but 2x is too much (present to two nieces).

HN GWP I think is sold out. Was in my basket and disappeared last night.

doublecleansed · 07/10/2022 15:13

Just seen that Sephora is launching in the UK later this month…and they bought out Feel Unique, so Feel Unique will rebrand as Sephora. That explains the delay revealing the advent. Could it mean an exciting Sephora advent with some of their exclusive brands?! (Or just an advent using up all the old Feel Unique stock?).

PomRuns · 07/10/2022 15:51

Interesting re Sephora - I was so disappointed when the closed the UK stores.

Are you sure? They are still advertising the gwp. I dont think you can add the gwp, they add it at dispatch of they think you've qualified.

Oh that is good news. Its pointless cult and lf and fu and the rest all being the same brand with the same products and offers.

I see Look Fantastic is now throwing in the 18-piece beauty treat bundle (that you can purchase) worth over £200 with the code FREEGIFT if you buy the advent calendar.

My Liberty calendar arrived today .... sooo pretty.

I was just coming to suggest this!

LaBrujaPiruja · 07/10/2022 17:08

Very poor from LF, when they still haven’t fulfilled orders placed weeks ago.
Tempted to cancel and repurchase.

I would definitely do that! The beauty bundle is a great addition!

redredwineub40 · 07/10/2022 18:08

Yes Harvey Nichols GWP doesn't seem to add into the basket - I emailed their customer service and they sorted it.

And I missed the delivery! Should arrive Monday now.

polmnlj · 07/10/2022 18:16

Had another look of LF now that it's with beauty bundle but it's still no. I am waiting for reductions now

redredwineub40 · 07/10/2022 19:52

In prior years decent AC offers with GWP have come up in cyber week, you've got to think this is the year for decent Black Friday/cyber week offers

Bananaman123 · 07/10/2022 20:07

Received my latest in beauty calendar today, very very happy with it

Twinsandsome · 07/10/2022 21:48

I’ve been watching a YouTube channel planning with crystal doing AC box openings and now I feel I might want space nk…

GertieWooster · 08/10/2022 01:00

@Zeeza thank you Flowers

femmm · 08/10/2022 05:59

With a £50 budget with the smallest margin for stretch -
What would you go for?

Zeeza · 08/10/2022 06:04

@femmm I would probs go for the m and s, but that requires a 30 spend. You can return the items you buy to qualify.

I think the Holland and Barrett one is an objectively good calendar, but not for me.

If you want a make up one this seems a lot of bang for your buck, but I dont know what kilo is like

My mum likes Kiko, she is quite into heath and beauty so I'd trust her judgment on it.
