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

JL was OOS earlier but is not back in stock online! and not saying 1-10 available or anything so presumably they've fully restocked.

still playing chicken to see if it goes as low as flannels, that one had too much make up that I just wouldn't use.

so it's JL or LIB for me, depending which one goes lower...

NOW back in stock not NOT! oh for an edit button...

I'm not getting one at all this year @Pinenu as I too still have quite a hoard from last year. Instead I have been treating myself to full size versions of things I've been wanting as early Christmas presents to myself (Kérastase, Korean skincare, and Mac stuff, mostly). For me it's partly because my skin is extremely sensitive and I have rosacea so I have to be very careful what I use on it, I don't like most perfumes, and I'm quite particular about the makeup colours I wear (and again have to be careful because of my skin). Plus my hair is very fine and I only need haircare products that will address that. Given all of that, I've realised I'm just not a good candidate for advent calendars but I do really enjoy living vicariously through this thread!

@gianfrancogorgonzola oh JL is back!!! Well that was the third AC I was interested. Let's see.

Harvey nichols seems to have withdrawn their AC. Anyone have any idea why?

What do we think the odds of a harrods price drop are?

So much good stuff not shifting. Beauty boxes too - I posted in abother about a nice Hearst one half price at 40 quid, plus another 10 off possible with American express. It has a murad cream I like with rrp of 75 and a face spf with an rrp of 86.

@Catslovepies thats a good plan but requires self control and patience, I’m not sure I have either 😂

How do you become pro on lib to get the extra discount?

Actually I think I know. Don't worry

Only 3 JL AC in stock now!

Harvey nichols seems to have withdrawn their AC. Anyone have any idea why?

I wonder whether this is because they don't want to reduce it? I can't imagine that it's been a big seller.

I bet that they don't have one next year!

I’m very happy with a multiple offer package of Clinique goodies from M&S.

I got the Day to Night set, valued at £207, the Black Friday Get Ready to Refresh skincare and make-up set, worth over £135, a free Donald x Clinique gift set, valued at £45. Combined it came to £73, as I used a 20pc off Sparks code. Clinique skincare is my workhorse staple and I love the lipsticks. The products I won’t use have been snaffled by teen DD, including 2 x chubby stick highlighters and eye make-up remover.

Looks like JL is out of stock again.

Beauty pro have been members for....3 months? 6 months? Or have bought a prepaid 3 month? 6 month? Subscription.

@Zeeza i saw this on their website:
“Are you a beauty PRO? We reward our loyal members, thats why if you stay with us for 3 months in a row (as of your 4th payment) we will make you a LiB Box Pro. As a Pro you will make savings & access lots of benefits, discounts and exclusives, with much more to come”
Hoping that’s wrong tho as I’d love to be able to subscribe and get the discount.

Oh that would be annoying, if they discounted LiB but we couldn’t access it

There used to be a way to prepay for a 3 or 6 or 12 month subscription and become a pro immediately. I cant see that on the website at the moment, but it's still in the FAQs.

Not to be an enabler but they are mostly small sizes...the 3 sample sized moisturisers would be gone within a fortnight or so and again 2 of the serums you have are small?

I've already bought Fortnum & Mason's and today my JL one arrived (black Friday impulse purchase ).

I've been through it to check everything is there and annoyingly the NEOM candle glass is cracked. They really should have put it in a small box, not just straight in the drawer next to a glass/metal bottle of pillow spray. Hey ho. I can't be arsed to return the whole thing so will just live with it.

Get in touch with them online. My candle was broken/cracked and a chunk of glass missing so they gave me a £40 voucher to buy a new one and I didn't have to return anything

@PanicAtTheBigTesco you are so right. I’m going to do it.

This thread has made me want JL now too. I wonder if they’ll restock with further discounts.

I do wish they wouldn’t do this whole ‘drop’ thing. Just sell the bloody things.

Ooh thanks @MostDefinitelynotanAthlete !

I can't believe that HN has sold out. I bet they just withdrew it from sale before starting their block Friday deals. Hoping it comes back discounted.

I would totally get the HN and Harrods if they were discounted. Harrods discounted last year. But I expect they won't until December.

I'm going to be strong and not get any of the other discounted ones in the hope I can get harrods.

@Pinenu I would say you have 3 months of moisturiser & serums there. No cleanser though and by spring when you're running out, there may not be as many offers around.
I'm frantically trying to finish up minis to feel better about the hoard on its way. Annoyingly Fenwick's sent me two more!

Another one here who had a stash tidy up (aaah my favourite drawer 😍) am trying to use up lots of "bits " ( love throwing away an empty tube so satisfying) so I am ready to Advent !!
