Ooooh I wonder if it’s worth us doing separate ones for January then, if there’s enough of us. We have a bit until then anyway.

I’m still hoping Rituals gets with it and reduces properly.

PanicAtTheBigTesco · 06/12/2022 16:59

I've said it before but I'd love it if Next would reduce, some great products in there but pretty small sizes so £70 still seems a bit steep...

QueefofSheena · 06/12/2022 17:45

I’d be interested in Next if they reduced it more. Mac sold out, I should have gone for it when I had the chance.

CorporateBull · 06/12/2022 17:49

I can't do Jadvent. I need to embrace misery in January.

EmmatheStageRat · 06/12/2022 17:57

MAC is back on LF; only reduced by £25.

Fleecy · 06/12/2022 18:04

I've got M&S for Jadvent

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!

Hi @Piccalino3 it was this one:

Me too. I find Christmas stuff in January really depressing...you know that feeling when you go back to the office in the New Year and all the decs are still up? Bleh.
I'm going to be doing Veganuary and trying to go to the gym. And using all my lovely advent calendar treats...

Same, I want decs down, mince pies removed, house cleaned, beauty stash inventories and plan for spring .

PomRuns · 06/12/2022 19:39

Although that feel unique looks good !

And me. I like to move on from everything Christmas and look towards Spring. I'm all calendared out by then.

Has anyone received their bargainous Bare Minerals calendar yet (or will it prove to be a figment of our imaginations?)

My Royal Mail tracking says that it was on the way to them from BM on Friday night. I keep checking but nothing has changed.

Not yet, mine was dispatched on 2nd.

I’m hoping for some cult beauty edits in the sales. Not that I need any of it but I might feel less guilty if I just buy a little edit.

Peridot1 · 06/12/2022 21:32

I haven’t had my BM one yet either but then again I haven’t had any Mail for days.

MidnightMeltdown · 06/12/2022 21:36

PomRuns · 06/12/2022 19:39

It's not bad at that price, although notice how there's no mention of the fact that it's a 2021calendar!

As someone who tends to keep products for a while before I get around to using them, I would want to know if I was buying an old calendar, as presumably, you need to use things up more quickly.

Will they roll out again next year if it doesn't sell out this year I wonder? 😂

MidnightMeltdown · 06/12/2022 21:41

My BM hasn't arrived either, but I expect that Royal Mail are swamped after all the strikes

Evri are doing surprising well at the moment. I've been using them for posting and everything has been delivered really quickly.

FluffyFluffMonster · 06/12/2022 21:42

I gave in to the imperfect CB advent which came today. As far as I can tell there's nothing wrong with it.

Pinenu · 07/12/2022 10:11

Space NK is back in stock at full price again.

Roundaboot · 07/12/2022 10:20

Yeah, same here. Just says "dispatched to Royal Mail" If I track it the RM link says "The sender has advised us they're preparing your item. More information will be available when we receive it" so maybe it's not actually left BareMinerals yet? It would feel a bit cheeky to chase it up, given the bargain price but then they have taken my money, so I'd either like to receive the calendar or get a refund soon.

CorporateBull · 07/12/2022 10:21

Mine says the exact same. I assume it's most likely stuck in a strike related hold up. Ideally I'd like it by Christmas as I want to give it as a present, but it's not a disaster if later. I'd just like it not to get lost!

EmmatheStageRat · 07/12/2022 10:21

Not beauty related, but if anyone has younger children, the Tinc stationery advent calendar is now half price at JL; £14 instead of £28. It’s really good value and not dated so could be purchased and put away for future years.

Housewife2010 · 07/12/2022 10:22

I had an item last week where I didn't get any RM tracking after RM waiting for the item until I got the out for delivery, so we may still be OK.

PosiePerkinPootleFlump · 07/12/2022 10:37

No BM calendar yet either.
But I got other RM items last week where there were no tracking updates until the item appeared at the door, so suspect this may be the same
