I don't know whether they are safe or not because I don't usually use TikTok. LIB looks legit to me, but I'm not too sure about others.

It's not clear to me when you are buying from an official retailer.

Adventadventures · 25/11/2022 12:26

@Zoetrope1 thats exactly what happened to me!

Adventadventures · 25/11/2022 12:27

I think maybe we are all too old for TikTok and they know it so won’t let us buy!

MidnightMeltdown · 25/11/2022 12:27

The user seller Look Fantastic appears to a car company that dissolved some time ago?!

Zoetrope1 · 25/11/2022 12:27

Hahaha I think that’s exactly right!

Couperi · 25/11/2022 12:30

I'm clearly too old for Tik Tok! And doesn't even seem to be the websites selling the products?

MidnightMeltdown · 25/11/2022 12:33

To me it seems suspect that there's such a big difference between the TikTok price and the website price for some of these - but maybe I'm just too old to understand!

Crikey!

I think buying direct from the stores on there seems safest?

Yes I think so @Pinenu

It just feels like a bit of a minefield trying to figure out which ones are official

Probably because I'm not used to TikTok!

MidnightMeltdown · 25/11/2022 12:43

It seems like TikTok might have problem with fraudulent sellers

Be careful ladies. Sone may be legit, but if deals seem to good to be true, then they probably are!

Pinenu · 25/11/2022 12:45

CB is now showing as £200 on TikTok, same as their website.

I can’t keep up. I need a chamomile.

Bah, I really want an advent calendar. They are so beautiful and so full of lovely things, but I am terrible and just don't have a proper routine or anything to justify the purchase. I remember to wear lipstick maybe twice a week and to put some moisturiser on my face about as often.

I know logically that buying expensive things I won't use quickly or even at all depending on the thing. But I want to be a lovely organised person who has Routines etc and also to treat myself and I love a bargain. I have good skin currently but I suspect that will start changing soon (30 next year).

Does anyone want to enable me by recommending one for someone like me?!

What about the NUXE calendar (currently £65 from £75). It has lots of lovely scented quality and cruelty free oils that you can use in your bath, after a bath/shower. You can also use them on your hair and face (when you remember) as they are very light.

Meee too 😂

I think I’ll just wait for the retailers to discount the old fashion way.

Also I really should refrain, I’ve already got the Space NK advent plus a closet full of unopened skincare products… I just can’t seem to resist the sales!

MoriaRoseForever · 25/11/2022 11:21

Love the heated throws / advent calendar mash up going on !

like the sound of velvet, where did you get that ?

must find the MN throw thread, anyone got a link ?

And warm, beautiful socks! Don’t forget the socks!

Couperi · 25/11/2022 12:08

This is annoying I don't have tik tok and don't have space on my devices to get it. Why can't they put the deals on their website!

Because they aren't the companies' deals? This will be some chancer. Sorry but I would not trust buying from some random on TikTok and you're certainly not going to get the extras any site is offering. Come on, let's not throw all caution aside because it's Black Friday. If it looks too good to be true..

polmnlj · 25/11/2022 13:04

Does Harrods have a TikTok shop?

TheDuchessOfMN · 25/11/2022 13:06

Cult Beauty really aren’t budging on the advent calendar. If they didn’t go low for Black Friday, I can’t see them giving in. I wonder if they’ll use all the leftovers to make goody bags?

Scarlettwaffle · 25/11/2022 13:10

Sorry - I went in to a meeting. Yes it was £144 but then I had coupons for £15 off over a certain spend in one shop bringing it down to £129 (I successfully stopped myself from getting it though!). A few other shops had it at £144 but no coupons. It now seems to have gone up to £185 for me.

I’ve bought a few things from TikTok shops in the past, some have taken a while to get to me but none have been scams. Some products have come straight from the actual company. Not sure how it works myself tbh, as you do seem to get different prices and coupons with different shops?

just thought I’d put it out there for anyone interested - didn’t mean to cause any stress! I shall go lurk quietly in the background again…..

Zeeza · 25/11/2022 13:11

Oh blimey. I bought the cult beauty one on tiktok because it comes from the cult shop. I'm happy with that.

But i don't know what to do with the lookfantastic one from the dodgy valeting company. Should I cancel do you think?

Peridot1 · 25/11/2022 13:13

I’m way too old to even attempt Tik Tok! And desperately trying to resist any apparent bargains. I have so much unopened stuff.

I’m making a deal with myself to not buy anything next year and then get either the Liberty or F&M. Unless they still have them in January and reduce a lot in which case I’ll. yum then and put away for next year.

FluffyFluffMonster · 25/11/2022 13:17

I've started the liberty beauty drop to get the AC next year.

AprilLady · 25/11/2022 13:26

Feeling in good company here 😂It took me a while to figure out TikTok too and I did think I’m way too old for it. I did eventually go for the LiB offer, which appeared to be direct from LiB? Really hope it is legit.

Having read the scary TrustPilot reviews, also rather relieved I used Apple Pay rather than entering any card details - I’m hoping that is harder to scam.

MidnightMeltdown · 25/11/2022 13:30

I'm not sure @Zeeza

I've never actually bought anything on TikTok so I might be overly suspicious and cautious. You can be the experiment and let us know if it turns up! 🤣

Peridot1 · 25/11/2022 13:30

That’s not a bad idea @FluffyFluffMonster. I might do that. I’m about to cancel Beauty Pie as I don’t really use it. The Liberty Beauty Drop seems much better.
