All your general beauty advent chat, reviews and discount codes.

What sort of things are in the Degusta box please?

On YouTube there is an unboxing of the 2021 Degustabox AC. They haven't revealed the contents of this year's so I have bought it as a surprise and would prefer (if possible) that they weren't listed on here. It has a value of £50 and I bought it with discount & topcashback for about £30 so not a huge saving, but it is a huge calendar & I thought it would be a fun item to open with my children over breakfast.

I think it’s going to be really interesting to see how the beauty companies respond. They’ve knocked down their prices but the knock-on effect is that many of us have seen this as an opportunity to stock up. I can’t see me having to buy ANY beauty this upcoming year (JL advent had some of my staples). So their ongoing sales may also struggle as a result of this.

Space NK are having offer after offer at the moment and Liberty endless sale promotions

Post got cut off.
I think high end beauty and the relentless expansion of beauty brands, beauty products and treatments of the past two decades may have reached its peak. None of the advents have sold out despite promotions. And the reliance of endless offers and GWPs that don’t sell out for days is interesting too.

I've emailed John Lewis expressing my disappointment so we'll see what happens.
If anyone would like to know what's in the Degustabox calendar feel free to PM me. There are no duplicates from last year but the type of products are similar

I’ve just unpacked the winter warmer box. Distinctly underwhelmed. Those who missed out don’t need to feel disadvantaged!

Hello not sure if this is the right thread to post this.
I have the Asos and M&S calendars.
I’m in need of a new hand cream and reluctant to buy one as I’m sure there are one or two in these calendars.
I like to be surprised so I’ve only skim read the contents and forgotten now as I got the calendars ages ago.
Would anyone be able to tell me if they’ve opened theirs already or watched unboxing - are there any hand creams in these calendars and which day?

@Snoopsnoggysnog there is one in m and s 😊

Number 13 M&S

Thank you!!

Great thought @Snoopsnoggysnog !

I'm thinking there is also a hair mousse - can anyone help with what box that is hiding in please?!!

If you subscribed today, could you use the code do you know ? Was thinking of one month subscription and would get a box and a much reduced price.

If you have a Superdrug card there are early access Black Friday deals on cheaper ACs. I had an email.

But there are quite a few good offers generally on gift sets and AC that might be a treat or a gift for teenage DD

Oh, thanks. I need to find something for a young teenage girl and Claire’s was too crap, and Primark didn’t have decent sets. Can’t believe I forgot Superdrug!

Not an AC , but for those who like Superdrug’s Liz Earle hot cloth cleaner dupe , this is a nice set www.superdrug.com/skin/skincare-gift-sets/vitamin-e-facial-set-your-complete-daily-skincare-routine/p/816196

There are some nice sets in there and good prices , more so if you have a card . The revolution sets are quite good and I be found them ok quality . Think quite a bit therefor a teenager. Not just make up but toiletries and skin care sets . Might treat myself to some cheaper treats !

Yeah, I got her a Revolution set last year, half price in the run up. She’s blazed through it during the year, but is looking for some slightly more sophisticated stuff - like the highlighters - this time. Way past the age you can palm her off with one of those 200 colour eyeshadow palettes! But thankfully not yet into expensive brands.

Just been nosing around the Revolution website to see what they are doing re prices. They have offers in as well and lots more sets. There are a few that might be good for your DD, with highlighters in.www.revolutionbeauty.com/uk/en/gifts/christmas-gifts?page=5

Good reductions . I am now down a rabbit hole , going from Superdrug to Revolution ...

I think last year I got her one half price so £30/40 ish for one that came with a case. I’m pretty sure I got it around 22 December, when everything in there was reduced to rock bottom.

I have the M&S AC, which I want to take back to NZ with me. Does anyone know if there are any vouchers in it?

I would hate to take it home and then find a voucher on December 10th or something.

I don’t think there are @FiveShelties. I don’t have it but don’t remember seeing that there were any vouchers in it.

Thank you @Peridot1

I am trying to resist opening it
