General chat about beauty advent calendars.

I feel so much better about my excess now! Also forgot I have an escape room family one on the way. We had one last year and really enjoyed it.

@AprilLady have attached a pic of the crossword one - no idea what it will be like as DH bought it for me.

Looking forward to the opening threads now. Will we set them up tomorrow?

@tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz how do you get box for just £2.95 please?

Thanks @Stokey looks like a nice idea. I’m a keen crossword doer (or cruciverbalist to use the fancy name) but mostly cryptic crosswords these days. Still not able to regularly solve The Times one fully, but working on it.

I’m going to set up the waifs and strays thread shortly, and will post a link to it here.

My LiB has arrived and was thinking I might save it for next year but now I am not, it’s installed ready for opening on Thursday. Should we start a version 5 opening thread?

I love The Times quick cryptic @AprilLady but the main one is generally beyond me. I hope to build up to it when I have more time to devote to crosswords!

Oooh, thanks for this heads-up. It sounds good 🙂

Doh!! vicariously, not vivaciously.

I hate autocorrect.

My Selfridges is being delivered tomorrow! Very impressed seeing as I ordered at 11:00am today and paid standard delivery.

I think DH would like the crossword advent - off to google, thanks for posting @Stokey

I just ordered an Airwrap, so I don't think I can justify a 3rd advent now.

So I got my second one last week therefore not sure if they've changed the offer but hopefully this works ...

Go to the beauty box page on Sephora and select the 12 month subscription. Should show as the reduced price. Then once you receive it - mine came by Evri in three days - email to cancel

@Stokey completely off topic, but I do the Quick Cryptic every day too. Nice to find a fellow enthusiast.

Wow that's great! I ordered mine at 11.12 and it's due to arrive on 6 Dec. Not complaining though! Still thrilled. Might have to get another one though ...

That’s odd @ArtfullyCrumpled maybe the calendars are coming from different stores. Hopefully your delivery date will be updated and you’ll get it much sooner. But only after you’ve been forced into treating yourself to another 😂

@Brody77 so pleased for you! And not a little jealous. The design is absolutely gorgeous I agree. It seems sold out this evening so you got in just in time. Do enjoy it. The solid scent seems to last forever.

Woo my Selfridges advent is due tomorrow

Yes agreed…Dyptique is a gorgeous calendar, so pretty in this years design. I had one a few years ago and it was very luxurious. Enjoy 😊

Thank you ladies @CorporateBull @SoloCat I shall enjoy. And thanks to all you lovely mumsnetters on these threads, so wonderful and enabling. Won’t go into the advent calendars we’ve got for dd but they will be put away for an after homework treat to motivate her through the year and she will just enjoy the Lindt teddy one and a wooden one for actual advent and poor Dh just has a choc one (but I hadn’t realised about m&s walnut whip- may need to get) got my Ddad a mince pie one too.

I’ve decided to play advent roulette with the Rituals. I want it, but since I have a few I’m not going to jump at the £20 off the premium. Rituals marketing team, if you’re reading this, gimme £40 off and I’ll jump!

CB is back up to £230 on TikTok. I’m losing hope for a proper discount.

They probably estimate some people will panic buy an advent at this point if they don't already have one. That may/ not happen...

Hold the line and wait for the discounts to roll in, in December if they don't sell it now!

Fenwicks Beauty Advent Calendar down to half price 97.50 on website. I'm not getting it as I bought Selfridges yesterday.

That's a good deal. The Frederic Malle perfume in there is lovely.

Fab! Just get the Fenwicks one. Thank you!

Thank you @6poundshower

Funny you say that as a bloke in work has come in today asking about beauty calendars because his partner has unexpectedly gifted him one so there may well be a small market of last minute men buyers.
