Looks like Look Fantastic is out of stock now too

MidnightMeltdown · 02/12/2022 17:22

Space nk is showing as low stock, which I'm guessing is why they aren't reducing it again

Pinenu · 02/12/2022 17:35

The Space NK reviews have people complaining about the price drop and also the repetition of tiny items from last year. The only way I’d buy it is if we got a bare minerals style woops deal.

Zeeza · 02/12/2022 17:51

Oh yeah, I didnt mind paying full price for cult beauty. It it right up my alley.

Space NK has “sold out” again.

I’m getting bored of checking CB. Is Selfridges similar enough for me to feel like I’ve not missed out?

Zoetrope1 · 02/12/2022 19:41

They’re quite different (Selfridges feels more “grown up” to me and has more fragrances) but between Selfridges and LiB I think you’d have a fair bit of overlap with CB

CavalierApproach · 02/12/2022 20:37

But isn't Selfridges sold out? At least, it doesn't seem to add to basket when I try, although I'm no longer getting the 'this item is out of stock' message I got yesterday. Kind of confusing.

Pinenu · 02/12/2022 20:53

Thank you @Zoetrope1

After you recommended checking for expiry dates on the other thread, I got my partner to go through my Selfridges calendar and he found a couple of empty drawers. I’ve emailed them about it so hopefully it’ll be an easy fix but glad I found out now instead of next December when I planned to open it. So thank you again.

Bloody hell! Just had an email to say that my Bare Minerals calendar has been despatched! I was fully expecting them to cancel the order due to the pricing error but good for the for honouring it.
I'ver never tried their products before so I'm really looking forward to giving them a go.

Me too! Very happy. I think that’s great customer service from Bare Minerals.

Peridot1 · 02/12/2022 23:08

Mine too! Very impressed. Was expecting it to be cancelled.

MyOtherCarIsAHearse · 02/12/2022 23:18

And me! Very happy.

QuizzlyBears · 03/12/2022 00:11

Second day of Sephora was full size Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. Very happy with this one so far!

Oh I’m so glad! Wow that’s a bit worrying - I haven’t checked mine properly as don’t want to ruin the surprise so close to unboxing. I did poke around with my eyes closed and there is definitely something in each box so hopefully mine is okay!

Let us know what Selfridges say!

FredaFox · 03/12/2022 08:00

Thanks for the tip, I'll check my Selfridges today.

I wish I could find a By Terry calendar reduced. Selfridges had it quite discounted in the week and I dithered. Regretting that now as I'd like to try their products.

I don't need anymore (Harrods, Flannels and Lookfantastic) but quite like the look of the Sunday Times calendar at LIB. If it gets discounted more I'd consider it

Peridot1 · 03/12/2022 09:24

@Piccalino3 the ByTerry is listed as discounted on here

Piccalino3 · 03/12/2022 09:26

Aww, thanks @Peridot1, it's not in stock. Says coming soon so presume it's sold out.

Peridot1 · 03/12/2022 09:32

Ah ok. That’s a shame.

Housewife2010 · 03/12/2022 09:55

My bareminerals is on its way at the £24 price too. It contains a full size serum worth £55!

Piccalino3 · 03/12/2022 10:21

Does anyone remember someone posting a 12 day advent calendar that they said they got for a bargain in April? I'd looked at this years and it looked good so wanted to watch it but can't find what it was now!

Weirdly mine isn't yet! But expect it's just a matter of time

Adventadventures · 03/12/2022 12:01

@Piccalino3 was it the Cloud10 one? Unfortunatley it is saying out of stock so not sure if there will be any bargains this year

MidnightMeltdown · 03/12/2022 12:26

My bare minerals has been shipped too. I'm not sure about the lipstick shade, but looking forward to trying the other products. It was too much of a bargain not to buy!

Glad that they honoured the sale, even though the pricing was likely a mistake!
