General chat about beauty advent calendars.

Even as a longtime Tiktoker I never actively go on the shop bit as it stresses me out! I've bought a few things but only from clicking the link off a video from someone advertising the product . You also have to be careful as so much of the stuff is crap quality or really overpriced, one of the big things last week was faux fur slippers for £25, identical to the ones in Tesco for £12!

@Couperi

That's strange. I find it hard to believe that they sold out at full price! Maybe they only made a small number. They obviously wanted to avoid selling it over Black Friday!

I rang Selfridge's yesterday when it was out of stock online. They had calendars left in some of the stores but couldn't post them from their stores - so online only. The customers services man advised me to keep checking online as they may be upload from the shop's stock. I did and managed to order one this morning.

I wonder if Selfridges calendars are done now! I missed them again this afternoon.

I’m still debating on that Rituals. Pretty!

@Housewife2010

Ahhh that would explain it

Thank god it's not just me! I'm a little embarrassed by my hoard so this makes me feel better. This is my first year going for a beauty calendar and I've ended up with:
Liberty
John Lewis
Harrods beauty 😳

I'm saving Harrods for Jadvent

I love this thread! I’m a long time lurker.

I usually get one premium calendar and love it. I have been resisting this year as trying not to spend the money. But there seems to have been some great deals. Are there any still about?

I keep my eyes open for GWP too but can’t see any good ones.

I share your embarrassment. I just seem to have lost control over myself. Can’t turn down a bargain!

I also have an embarrassing amount. I need to hide some of my calendars in the attic before DP comes over this weekend. Otherwise he might think that I'm a crazy person.

But how can I be expected to resist so many bargains??!

I also got a cult beauty gwp a few weeks a go

I should be throughly ashamed, but I’m more alarmed at how little encouragement I needed. I’m sure my skin will either be glowing by next advent time, or I won’t have any left 😬😳

I have H&B, body shop, LiB and Selfridges. Will probably put Selfridges away for next year and do LiB for jadvent. All will be shared with daughter. My partner has Degustabox and as of today a beard oil calendar.

I’ve given up feeling guilty and will instead feel happy about the savings made. I also think we won’t see deals like this again as they’ll change how they go about it next year so I’m investing in future me’s happiness 😂

Forgot to add I’ve just had an email saying my Selfridges order is being picked and will be making its way to me soon so hopefully no issues with stock.

Another rather embarrassed consumer here, but the deals have been amazing this year. DH already thinks I’m crazy.

I’ll be opening Liberty, F&M and LiB (assuming it arrives in time). I’d be happy to start a general advent calendar thread for these as in previous years?

Not hopeful on LiB arriving in time. I have received a Yodel tracking number, but Yodel says they are still waiting to receive the item from the sender.

I love how we are just listing our calendars
Mine are
Selfridges (full price 🙄)
Flannels for January
M&S (mum)
Yankee candle tee light
M&S biscuit calendar (mum)
M&S whip calendar
Bonne maman (mum)

Must stop buying them 😂

We’re all going to have the most beautiful skin and smell fabulous!

Oh yes…I bought a Lindt teddy chocolate advent too!

Oh good, I feel less crazy now.

I have:
SpaceNK (full price but got with a gift and used points to get a discount. Still pissy and won’t buy full price again)
M&S (needed new pjs so how could I not? Might be Jadvent)
JL (it was too nice and then it came down in price so had to!)
Flannels (bargain!)
H&B (got for just under £30 with points; likely to be Jadvent)
l’Occitaine (cheaper one, much reduced; opened it in November).

and I’m eyeing up the rituals.

😱🫣

You’re all also really nasty enablers and this is the best thread ever!

😂😂😂

I’ve just been looking at the Rituals too! 😁

I got an email that my selfridges is being picked so hopefully dispatched soon.

Oh god @CorporateBull I don’t need any extra enabling but you pushed me over the edge and I’ve got Diptyque . I’m very excited and slightly sick. But thinking will save it for opening on Xmas day and then open a day at a time post Xmas so it’s my special big present. There is one on eBay that’s at about £60 from 2019 but I loved loved the design of this years Milky Way box and I love fig so the solid phylosykos did it. Never again.
I’m so looking forward to starting JL on Thursday as there are so many high end things in there I’ve heard good things about but never dared to try. These threads are so bad but good as I know I’ll covet liberty for next year now it’s sold out.

I rest my case!

You can speak to the bank manager for me.

I hope you all will be on the individual opening threads!

House of Fraser is down to £65 (from £125) if anyone is wanting that one!

We need to carry this thread on too…it’s been bloody brilliant 🤩
