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.

That is annoying as I already have it. Makes me much less likely to buy next year.

I was about to buy a second one but the code no longer works.

I'm pleased in a way lols.

Actually, I just went in to try it and the OCT20 doesn't apply to the advent calendar. Might be only for Irish customers though.

I don't feel so put out now 😁

It worked to begin with, i tried it. Clearly they noticed and stopped it.

O tried the code and it worked for me couple of hours ago.

Yes code isn’t working now. It was earlier. So that’s my decision made!

It worked this morning. They’ve stopped it now.

I watched a Sephora unboxing video last night and ended up buying it  with 10% off (thanks @AprilLady!). I think it's really good value for £125.

Definitely no Christmas edits for me now!

Those Cult Beauty Xmas edits are really uninspiring this year. I had a couple of great ones last year. Probably for the best as I really don't need any more stuff! (have bought a couple of the Liberty Xmas crackers though)

Cult code doesn't work; tried it out of curiosity. They clearly didn't mean to include a 20% code discount, especially seeing as they're offering a measly 2% discount via topcashback on them.

CB needs to offer a good discount or a nice goodie bag to get me to buy the advent. Come on, CB, you know you wanna!

I'm glad I ordered a couple of hours ago then! To be honest, without the code I wouldn't have ordered. But it's worth it to me at the reduced price

New account and FIRST15?

New CB code apparently tales 20pc of most things and 10pc off CB AC.

Haven't checked it though.

I suppose it would help if I gave it you wouldn't it? 😬🙄

I noticed that Elle is 20% off.

I reckon that they priced it with that in mind though. No way was it ever worth the £175 full price

Elle was 20pc off in prelaunch sale, plus a tenner off on Amex.

It makes me wonder why they didn't just price it at £140 in the first place instead of giving a false discount. Very sneaky.

Just reporting in to say that my teen DD’s The Body Shop Ultimate AC has arrived from Brandalley. Blimey, it is a thing of beauty but also a behemoth. It is huge and heavy! It was £140 on The Body Shop website but £69 on Brandalley and apparently is worth about £220. If it encourages my soap-dodging teen to practise better self care, it will be worth every single penny in my book!

@EmmatheStageRat I was looking at The Body Shop one for DD as it seems amazing value but not sure about ordering from Brand Alley! Reviews look a bit mixed and you can't explore the website without signing up for an account first 🤔

Sephora AC arrived today and I'm not disapointed. Very good value for money. I also got the free beauty bag gift which i was not expecting which has quite a few good things in, and a lovely makeup bag.

I didn't think you could get the beauty bag with the AC as it was not listed on my order but maybe someone in the warehouse didn't get the memo

@Metabigot which one did you get ? I’m so tempted by some of the gift sets. It’s very exciting to have Sephora here again 😊

@Metabigot what was the gift with purchase that came with it?

I’ve ordered all sorts of things (clothes, gifts, candles, bath and body products etc) from Brandalley over several years. They sell genuine bargains that come from the manufacturers. There service is great. Go for it!
