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

Is that it for Black Friday do we think? No more offerings until December?

My H&B arrived and my jadvent is sorted.

I was expecting at least some of the calendars to have good Black Friday reductions

The LiB one does look official to me, but with some, it's hard to tell. LF looks a bit dodgy.

If they accepted PayPal then I might be more willing experiment as
PayPal would normally refund if there was a problem. That doesn't seem to be an option on TikTok though.

I can't even find the Cult Beauty tik tok shop!

I bought the GlossyBox advent from their TikTok shop a few weeks ago without any problems. I'm sure the shops from the official accounts are fine.

I think there may be something for cyber Monday - bigger discount or GWP.

if the LiB and CB shops on TikTok are legit (which othey appear to be), then it looks like they’d be willing to go lower on price.

Not another day of this 😂 I’ve achieved nothing because I’ve been sat refreshing web pages all day.

I'm exhausted from this tiktok nonsense! So now I need to keep looking on it until Monday?! On the off chance ...

Anyway, I messaged LiB and asked if free mystery box is included with AC purchase through tiktok and they said no, that offer only applies on websites orders.

Because 2 of the beauty boxes have now been removed, I suspect they would send these out as the freebie or a combination of products from them (summer box and Caroline Barnes makeup box)

That’s interesting @Branster It’s back on there at £99.50. I think I’d rather that than pay the extra for the free box.

I'm going to cancel my LIB subscription. Their monthly choices for their boxes have got worse. They used to be good. I kept with them for 15% off their often excellent collection boxes. These collection boxes are now on their tiktok shop for less than subscribers pay on their site. I bought the calendar with my subscriber discount on the day it was released. I understand that the price is lower now because they haven't manage to sell out, but the only Black Friday offers they have are for the Advent Calendar. I think I'd be better off saving my £12.95 a month for their subscription and buying the odd collection box from them from their tiktok shop.

I really liked the look of the subscription boxes on the MINTD website someone (apologies for no naming, but I haven’t got the time to scroll back) posted yesterday. Megabucks but amazing value for money with lots of full sizes of high end products. The AC is also a thing of beauty.

My Flannels AC has just been delivered, ‘tis a weighty bugger and came really well packaged. I’ve put it away for Jadvent…maybe. Can’t believe they haven’t sold out at that price they must have masses of stock.

for anyone considering the Nuxe one I had it a couple of years ago and it was really lovely and not too pricey.

For those who have had or have multiple calendars, do you normally save one for Jadvent? I remember someone in one of the threads last year opening two together and comparing the contents which sounded interesting. I was going to save Fenwick's and open JL but would quite like the perfumes in Fenwick's.

The prices for LiB are crazy. I absolutely don't need it and was put off if by all the hair products which I won't use, but at £99 I can't say I'm not tempted!

I refuse to get TikTok. They want to flog their expensive calendars (even at reduced prices) to women who are not teenagers? Then they need to consider what social media we are using. I sound grumpy as hell but I have no time or inclination to jump through their hoops, especially when a bunch of us are already annoyed at the ‘dropped prices’ vs what we paid at the start.

Gosh I’ve missed so much 😂

f anyone has a Harrods Beauty nr them - it’s 20% off in store.

@Stokey Jadvent doesn’t really work for me - so I’ll be opening all 3 (gulp!) of mine in Dec, assuming the TiKTok order works. I have F&M, Liberty and LiB.

But that's the whole point. They are using tiktok to expand their customer reach.

I nearly succumbed to LIB with the free gift last night. It's amazing value but I want to try and stick to one calendar this year just to prove to myself that I can 😆 .. Really looking fwd to hearing what's in the £250 gift!

I am keeping well with my ~50% goal. Bodyshop and H&B both almost 50% off. Now I need to one off the more expensive ones to be reduced heavily. If that doesn't happen it's ok. I survive with my calendars

Eek! I succumbed and bought the CB advent for 140 from their TikTok shop

I am not buying calendar from Tiktiok because I was so put off the Trustpilot reviews.

@Zoetrope1 is it still showing at that price for you? It’s been at £200 for me all afternoon.

Now it’s at 185 - I really don’t understand how TikTok works (I also just signed up to buy the advents) but the prices have jumped around all day. I just contacted CB via their website to confirm the TikTok store is legit and they said yes!

the LiB has also jumped around in price for me - the best has been 99.50 plus a 5 voucher taking it to 94.50 but I got an error message every time I tried to buy. Probably a good thing as I definitely do not need anymore!! I’m really getting swept up in the sales…

Thank you. I’m getting the same with LiB, error message each time I try to pay. It’s all very confusing.

@Peridot1 best doing it in December so you can get the January box then if you are interested.
