@Branster Yes the price seems to vary. I bought the Lookfantastic advent for £19.99 from there yesterday afternoon as a flash sale. When I went back in the evening it had gone up again. I wasn't impressed originally by LF but I had to succumb at that price. There's a full size Espa moisturiser worth £55 in it.

MidnightMeltdown · 24/11/2022 10:26

I've bought a LiB too Blush

Couldn't resist at that price! I might have to keep one to open next year!

Pinenu · 24/11/2022 10:31

Now I’m considering LiB 😫I’m so weak!

Seeing as I really don’t need another and posters have mentioned half price sales in December, I’m considering waiting.

Do calendars generally get heavily discounted in December?

MidnightMeltdown · 24/11/2022 10:37

Not sure about December, but I managed to get Net a Porter half price in January

MidnightMeltdown · 24/11/2022 10:39

I think it was reduced a bit in Dec, and then dropped down to half price in Jan. It was better than this years offering too!

Pinenu · 24/11/2022 10:45

Wow that tempts me. But January is so far away.

Is there a chance though that December/January won’t see the same discounts as previous years because this is the first time we’re seeing big discounts in November?

Peridot1 · 24/11/2022 10:52

I think it’s very hard to predict anything this year @Pinenu as the economic climate is so different to other years. And different to when retailers started planning so I think it will depend on if they seem to be getting left with lots of stock. It’s interesting that Cult Beauty normally sells out really quickly but not this year whereas M&S sold out as it’s at a much lower price point.

Pinenu · 24/11/2022 11:50

Yes @Peridot1 I'm usually too slow to even catch CB available for sale never mind discounted. It feels like a very strange year.

polmnlj · 24/11/2022 12:37

My H&B has been dispatched!

Boppertini · 24/11/2022 13:26

Apologies if anyone else has already mentioned but £10 of Hearst magazines products if using an Amex (and saving the offer to your card) - makes the Elle calendar £99-£10=£89.. how am I meant to resist now??
On the other hand.. still £89 I could spend on a couple of things I really want/need.

Buster27 · 24/11/2022 13:32

I've been lurking for ages trying to decide on a calendar, decided to try and hold out for a deal as December got closer. Caved on the LiB deal today Grin hope the mystery box is good!

WhenisitmyturntobePM · 24/11/2022 13:57

Can someone who gets the LiB calendar come back and tell us what’s in the free beauty box? Because not knowing stuff like that kills me for some reason.

Zeeza · 24/11/2022 13:59

Right? I'm wondering if it is going to be the beauty box they were giving free last time. Or the one with the ghost perfume oooh. Or even better the skincare edit which they've just pulled for some reason.

I think a lot of companies are going to go to the wall over the next year. They are selling pretty good products at not awful prices and they just aren't shifting.

You convinced me! I'm trying to shop small more this Christmas and these look lovely.

They use responsibly sourced wool too, so no cruelty which is a part of the wool industry in other countries where some British retailers source their wool.

CorporateBull · 24/11/2022 14:05

I bought three pairs from them! And got a free pair for my first order. Two Christmas presents taken care of plus my own feet.

I got the lambs wool socks free with my first order (quite a generous treat isn’t it?). Enjoy 🙂

gianfrancogorgonzola · 24/11/2022 14:19

I will report back on the LiB box

next year will be very interesting won’t it. Hard to start off with much lower prices, maybe they will produce less of them?

polmnlj · 24/11/2022 14:31

I am spending my AC allotment. Just bought Shay&Blue Black Friday set for £40. Previously bought H&B. It starts to look like I don't anything left for a calendar... well if there is 50% off Harrods I find the money somewhere.

polmnlj · 24/11/2022 15:13

H&B looks like sold out.

Housewife2010 · 24/11/2022 15:28

@Zeeza I doubt that LIB will include the Skincare edit as the free box as that was only released a couple of weeks ago. I think it will be the Caroline Barnes one which has been around for a long time. It is a very good box though.

Housewife2010 · 24/11/2022 15:30

Or the Stye Summer essentials which was a recent freebie and again is very good.

Pinenu · 24/11/2022 15:52

Is the LiB offer for today only do we know?

Adventadventures · 24/11/2022 16:00

@Pinenu . No the LIB offer is until 28th November

Couperi · 24/11/2022 16:01

Tempted by LiB mainly because of the free box. Wonder if CB will go lower than £200? Selfridges seems to have had no discount yet.

Bananaman123 · 24/11/2022 16:16

I now have 2 LIB advents 😁 already opened my original one and using the products, such amazing value. Also got look fantastic and glossy box down to 36 at one point. I am not buying anymore, I am not buying anymore……
