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.

I dont even like candles and I like the Jo loves ac. It's beautiful and, as you say, the voucher means that the big ticket item in it is something you you love. If I didn't have too many perfumes I would be tempted.

@AprilLady Thanks for the heads up, Selfridges calendar ordered!

Now just have to try not to order the cult beauty one on 3rd October…

@Zeeza I just had a peek at the Jo Loves, it does look lovely….and very tempting. I love candles and body lotions. I had the Dyptique one a few years ago, it was gorgeous but pricey too. 😊

I’ve given in and ordered the Liberty one, there seems a lot that I will use and it is the main reason I signed up to the beauty drop.

I've ordered Liberty too

I signed up for the beauty drop just to get the early access and £10 off . Might cancel it again as I don't often shop at Liberty!

Oh sorry, that was for @AprilLady

I asked in M&S today when the calendar was due, end of October she said.

Someone down the post asked....

Jo Loves looks lovely but I’ve been a bit disappointed with a couple of the fragrances which don’t really last well. Gorgeous fragrances though.

I too caved and ordered the Liberty calendar, it's the main reason I signed up to the beauty drop. I'm also leaning towards the John Lewis one and need to convince myself that I really don't need more than one!
Was very excited to see the Liberty one shipped straight away, I was expecting to have to wait.

Liberty is being delivered tomorrow!!!!

They will save a fortune on warehousing. Good call liberty. Good call

That’s helpful…TY, anything to steer me away from ending up with 3 calendars 😊 I must admit I didn’t like the Pomelo fragrance after receiving a sample, but I’m taken with the names of the other scents. I must abstain 😁

Oooh, I didn’t know Oliver Bonus did and AC. I love them - off to have a look!

I have enough beauty drop credit for Liberty’s to feel affordable but I don’t really like it, so I think I’m not buying it. My favourite this year is John Lewis. I think I’ll go for JL and will spend the Liberty credit for Christmas presents or maybe in a couple of products I really like, like Sunday Riley CEO serum and Good Genes. I ended with 3 “high end” ACs last year and I still have unopened products.

Hi, I'm late to this thread. Has anyone suggested a good one for an early teen just beginning to enjoy make up? Was hoping to spend £100 or less.

Does anyone know if Space NK stays in stock for long and if it might be reduced? I can’t seem to remember

John Lewis is showing as sold out online???

@Pineappleskies it's due to be released 3 Oct. Or 4.

I did just the same, and feel that I'm 'wasting' the money I've saved, but I really don't fancy Liberty. Think I might get some Christmas gifts to use the credit. Anyone know when the next beauty box is due, and then I'll cancel after that?

@lulubelle1977 Ive bought Dd (15) the ASOS one £85 but found a 20% discount. She’s had body shop in the past but that has got a bit samey and not enough make up. I hoping she’ll love it and it smells lovely 😊

I’m not cancelling. I think it is still a good deal. I may buy the mens one for my DH and keep a couple of things for myself. I would have bought Liberty if JL’s were not this good.

I cancelled my beauty drop last month as wasn't really feeling the boxes (it was the full sized Ren tonic that did it 😆) .. have a bit of credit but don't fancy the calendar as have decided on JL so will save the credit for something else.

@lulubelle1977 I’ve only seen Boots No7, for £49.99 ..not sure the colours are teenage ones though. I’m not a big make up user, but if you could push the boat out the Charlotte Tilbury one would be perfect, although a bit pricier than you want. There must be more around…other posters are probably more clued up than I am about the make up side. Try the beautyadvent.net site, it lists most of the Advents. 😊

I think the asos one is amazing for a teenager. Mine have had them. The elle one is probably a bit mature, but worth looking at if you can still get the really ree 20pc discount. For some reason I got her the mac one last year and now she wants it again. I should have stuck to asos lols
