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.

Oh thank you @PomRuns I am so silly! I registered for an alert.

lulubelle1977 · 27/09/2022 21:55

Ah thanks ladies. I'll look into those.

I managed to figure it out! There was something wrong with my address. I had a proper investigate at lunchtime and sorted it out and now I have the longed-for Liberty calendar!

So pleased!

My husband is a truly wonderful man and a MASSIVE enabler. I said I felt it was probably a bit wrong to spend so much on myself, and he said he didn't think so and I deserve nice things. He is a keeper!!

@LaBrujaPiruja I love Good Genes, especially after a Drs Scrub, it really smooths my skin for the next couple of days.

What does everyone think in regards to Liberty or Fortnum and Masons? It's for my mum, I got her FM last year which she loved but was thinking to change it up to Liberty? I feel like FM has some really nice bits in but I can't remember if they are similar to last year?!

@Floozymum hope this helps

@Floozymum F&M does have some repeats, and has quite a lot of bath and body products, and not much make-up and skincare. Liberty is more balanced, with a bit of everything (make-up, skincare, hair, fragrance, bath and body). I’d choose based on whether or not she’d like the wider mix of products.

My Liberty calendar has arrived! The box is a little smaller than I was expecting (but satisfyingly heavy).

Woohoo….little dance 🕺🏻 Mine is due tomorrow 😊

Floozymum · 28/09/2022 13:00

Thank you. I'll think I'll go Liberty. The duplicate make up bag in FM swung it, although it's beautiful she got it last year and doesn't need two!

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 28/09/2022 13:00

Mines arrived too!

Can't wait to open it, just hope it's not an anti climax.

PanicAtTheBigTesco · 28/09/2022 13:03

So I finally decided against Liberty last night but now you are all getting them I want one Grin

@PanicAtTheBigTesco same! Was going to go CB but am now wavering. The FOMO is real.

EasterIssland · 28/09/2022 14:34

my liberty has arrived now, i think i'll get the space nk one as well, just trying to get some voucher discounts and hoping there is an offer any time soon to get it

polmnlj · 28/09/2022 14:37

I don't really like Liberty but JL looks good. In previous years one could get it 30% off from the shop even though it didn't go to that online.

PomRuns · 28/09/2022 14:39

Same !! Trying to be strong 😊

SoloCat · 28/09/2022 15:18

I keep checking for the Harrods reveal, but nothing yet, and it’s annoying me more than it should in the scheme of things. I want to plan 😡

Chickydoo · 28/09/2022 15:28

I'm not so keen on Liberty so waiting on JL. Quite a big difference in price but I still think I prefer the JL one.

Yes I would love it if they could reveal Harrods before I decide between JL/CB!

Babysharkdoodoodood · 28/09/2022 17:42

Mine got delivered next door, even though DH works from home.

Which is good, cos I nipped round there, got it and hid it. Grin

I bought the Liberty as I had credit, and I had FOMO…I really wanted to see the Harrods before committing, but would have lost the discount if I’d waited.
These reveals at different dates are sooooo annoying 😠

TheDuchessOfMN · 28/09/2022 18:00

I’m still completely undecided. This is the first year I’m not really feeling any of them. I think I have advent calendar fatigue 🤣
