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.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how quickly, or even if, the John Lewis calendar may sell out? Did it sell out last year? I'm tempted but can't quite justify buying it until November

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 🤣

Now, buck up - that's not the spirit! 😂
Maybe try a different calendar to what you'd normally get, to ease yourself back in!

OchonAgusOchonOh · 28/09/2022 20:52

If anyone is thinking of getting a Body Shop calendar, they are 20% off with the code 13025

Apologies if someone has already flagged- John Lewis is offering £15 off £150 spend for MyJL members (easy to sign up) till 11.59pm on 4th Oct.

Calendar launches 4th so price would be £164 instead of £179 if bought on first day.

It initially sold out fairly quickly last year but there was a second drop a few days later which lasted longer. It certainly sold out long before December though.

Also a bit annoyed that Harrods haven’t revealed their contents yet as 22 full sized products sounds very promising (I realise this is a ridiculous ‘complaint’!) but I ended up going for Liberty as it has a great range of products. Particularly looking forward to trying the Le Labo and Vilhelm perfumes. Could possibly be tempted by the Harrods fragrance calendar if it’s good 👀

@Stoic123 thanks for the heads up on the JL calendar. I am a member but keep forgetting to check the rewards/offers so might have missed that. (Just checked and the offer is there). That’s my decision made!

PomRuns · 29/09/2022 06:58

15% off some advents @ JohnLewis - molton brown, rituals and l’occitane.

redredwineub40 · 29/09/2022 11:37

Thanks just plonked for loccitaine £99 one as does have lots I want to try and got a gwp worth £45

polmnlj · 29/09/2022 15:27

I received a code from Debenhams with 30% off calendar. It would be £63.

Giftwithpurchase · 29/09/2022 15:59

Thank you @Stoic123 - I would have missed this as never look at my rewards. Also noticed I have a reward for not one but two free slices of cake 🍰 too - amazing!!!

MostDefinitelynotanAthlete · 29/09/2022 18:15

Thanks @Talisin I might just go for it rather than leave it and regret missing out!
@Stoic123 I've just signed up to myJL but can't see that discount, only a £5 evoucher on a £50 spend online. Might only be for current myJL members which is a shame.

AprilLady · 29/09/2022 18:29

@Stoic123 thanks for the tip re JL

@OchonAgusOchonOh I’ve just had an email from Niche Beauty - their advent calendar now ships internationally. You do seem to get the GWP with it (but sadly not the 20% off code being advertised on the site).

Thank you @AprilLady. I'm a sucker for a GWP. Decisions, decisions.

CountryCob · 29/09/2022 18:52

@polmnlj how exciting! Was the code shareable at all?

Zeeza · 29/09/2022 19:00

What is beauty drop credit? ☺️

Zeeza · 29/09/2022 19:15

www.libertylondon.com/uk/beauty-subscription-box

We have a direct debit for 20 quid a month to spend at liberty. For that we have the money that we deposit and 4 times a year we get a beauty box. We can spend the credit on anything we like. A lot of us signed up with the expectation we would spend the years credit on the calendar.

There's a thread dedicated to it with photos

Zeeza · 29/09/2022 21:27

Thanks @easterissland . @ArtOfTheImpossible I've liked them. Unfortunately I have discovered more things to spend money on.

My Liberty one arrived today. I’m trying not to peek- quite unsuccessfully 😂.
