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

Gah! You lot are terrible enablers 😁 I wasn’t going to bother this year as my hoard is ridiculous, but I’ve succumbed to Flannels. I went through TCB as I’ve just signed up to that too, thanks to this thread, so fingers crossed for a little bit of cash back 🤞

I’m definitely going to use loads. I use various Molecule and the ADP anyway, and I’m looking forward to trying some of the other bits. Excited now, thought it was just going to be chocolate for me this time.

I've just bought Flannels for my friend. I get her a calendar every year for Christmas.

@MyOtherCarIsAHearse I know exactly what you mean. My husband got me Space NK at full price and although on one hand I appreciate it, I feel a strange kind of annoyance too. I think if I had desperately wanted it the reduction wouldn't have mattered so much, but I didn't and it just feels like money chucked down the pan.

Is anyone else having trouble with the Harrods Beauty Calander webpage opening? It just won't load for me. Not a bad thing but very frustrating

Products are supposed to last a minimum of 30 months I think. If they expire sooner than that, then manufacturers are required to put a use by date on the packaging

Just checked and it’s loading for me..maybe a glitch.

I’ve succumbed and bought Flannels too….it’s got quite a few good bits and then others I’ll gift for Christmas to friends/family.

I’ve got to bury my head ostrich style otherwise I’ll end up with them all. It’s all too addictive!

@SoloCat thanks for checking. It's the one webpage that won't load on my phone. It clearly knows I don't need it and is removing temptation!

I still want the luxe Rituals but refuse to pay full price. Come on!

(also, I could be persuaded on CB if it dropped a load).

Theres a subreddit to help with this addiction btw!

😂
If you’re anything like me though it would make me want it more! 😁

@MyOtherCarIsAHearse I may need that soon 😬 I started with only wanting one…now have 3, with the Flannels 4 😳
I’m so weak!

I’m glad I’m not the only weak one, but I also wonder if we are just doing a great job of enabling each other! Haha

Fenwick £130 now from £195

I have only last years green Bodyshop atm. I ordered H&B for £29.50 with weird code but no sign of it so far. I am waiting for reductions to come. None of the reductions so far interests me.

I succumbed to the LiB luxury skin edit yesterday so I'm not even going to look at Flannels as I fear I'll be tempted and I definitely cannot afford it!

Just ordered Flannels, even including their take the piss 6.99 postage it's a bargain , £5 per item

I got the M&S one in store today (its sold out online). Seems v good value, think I'll use most of the products.

I ordered the Flannels AC at about 10 this morning. I had an email a couple of hours ago that it will be delivered on Monday. I paid the standard £6.99 postage.

I know…..I wouldn’t have even seen the Flannels without this thread. The discounts are far too tempting…although I did manage to abstain from LIB luxe box and calendar…so far!
I won’t need any beauty products for years…who am I kidding 🤷‍♀️I’ll be back next year for more! Enable away 😬

There should be a trigger warning on this thread 😁

Yes I thought it was really good.

Update re Harrods; I’ve had a £10 refund and they’ve sent me a conditioner out too. I’m glad it’s now sorted.

Oh dear. I've ordered the Flannels. I was going to be good but heck. I totted up the value of what I love- the candle, mascaras, the eye serum and I like the look of the single eye shadow and the body oil. I'm not sure about the palette. It's shiny with darker shades and I'm not sure it's suitable for an old gal like me.
I think a swap thread would be great.

Glad to see Harrods came good in the end . Not a bad result
I am resisting the Flannels advent as there is only about 4 things I would love . The rest is nice to have but don’t need or wouldn’t use
There are other advents I would prefer also so I am holding out for those reducing and if nothing comes up I will treat myself to a few of my lust items from EBay

Cowshed AC half price at 70 now. That looks a more realistic price for the products, although the design is lovely.

Lots more ACs at 25pc or more off on look fantastic.

None of the ones I have my eye on for discounts have come up yet though.

I keep looking at Flannels as it seems like such a good deal!

However, I'm not a big eyeshadow wearer, I don't like the lip gloss or nail polish shades, the CT lipstick looks too orangey for me, and I won't use the false lashes.

Given the huge discount, they must have loads to shift! It's such a risk putting so much makeup in as the shades aren't universally flattering.

As tempting as it is, I think that I'll have to pass, but it's a bargain if the makeup appeals to you.

I've been a makeup artist for 20 years plus and I'm fussy, most of it appealed they are good brands! Natasha D shadows are lovely , very pigmented

I've been eyeing that one up too and waiting for a discount. I hope it comes as can't pay full price.

I'm so glad I bought the Flannels one for my friend...she loves make up so it will really give her a lift. She's been texting me tonight feeling quite low with a few little family issues...it's due on Monday and I can't wait to hear what she thinks.
