General chat about beauty advent calendars.

Argh….Fenwicks, now it’s just pure gluttony as I bought it too 😳😁

Is very tempting - enjoy !

Gah! I can’t buy Fenwicks, I just can’t! I may wait and see if it goes lower though 😈

Thank you @PomRuns 😊

What's the likelihood of a Fortnums discount?

That's the only one I really want if I am being rational and not full of Christmas sparkly wishes.

I watched an unboxing for Fenwicks and most of the products are really tiny. There is a full size Votary cream, so may be worth it if you like that. It definitely wasn't worth over £100 though!

I saw it for £182 yesterday. I think they are hoping that people will panic buy when they discount it.

The Frederic Malle in the Fenwick's is worth £44. The sizes are small but the full size Votary cream, 10 ml Frederic Malle & full size Charlotte Tilbury lipstick alone are worth far more than the sale price.

I hadn't looked at Fenwicks before but now I have... it's pretty good... you lot are such a bad influence!

I just had a look on Fortnums website to check for any discounts....wishful thinking, obviously. They did however have one amazing offer on.... buy a £2500 hamper....and get £20 off your next purchase 😆

That’s a totally resistable offer @doublecleansed!

Long time ( well last year and this) lurker he but really enjoying all the tips, enabling and joy here.

I’m on LiB this year after Liberty last, but very tempted by Fenwick for no reason at all.

(LiB delivered in 2 working days but with no beauty box so have written to them- happened to anyone else? )

I nearly got H&B and selfridges but realised that I really want a fragrance one ( plus went a bit mad on GWP in Autumn). Any good recommendations for fragrance bar the Liberty one?

Ha! Yes! If you add up all the individual items then Fenwicks claim that it's 'worth' around £700. I don't think that many people would want to pay the original £195 price tag though, let alone £700!

I think that if you're paying almost £200, with products selected for you, then it's reasonable to expect a decent number of full sizes.

It's ok for the discount price though.

What a bargain!!

Yes, same . Calendar arrived yesterday but no box. Have also written! Bought from there direct rather than TikTok specifically to get the box.

I'm sure I read that they send the box put separately to the calendar?

ah me too. I nearly keeled over trying to work out TikTok shopping.

thanks @Couperi I clearly did not read t&cs. It’s quite a good way of stopping me getting any more until I see how good the box is!

Hasn't stopped me continuously refreshing F&M and CB pages!

Cult beauty for £190? Is it worth it?

@quiteathome it’s been 190 on the website since Friday and has gone as low as 144 on TikTok so I’m planning to hold out.

It's £182 on TikTok

Whether it's worth buying on there I don't know!

I don't do tick tock though

Which is obvious Tiktok not tick tock. 😂

Cult beauty absolutely was worth it to me. I bought it full price and it was amazing. (I had it for my birthday) But I like skincare.
