General chat about beauty advent calendars.

It's this one Total bargain for £23 and really good of BareMinerals to honour the pricing error. I'd definitely re-purchase the lipgloss. I haven't tried the skincare yet as I'm working my way through the JL contents but the night concentrate looks fab, and is worth £55 full price

Yes, it’s this one.

That is a bargain for £23 ! I wish I’d snapped that up!

Cow shed arrived , it's the nail file one , rubbish . It's going straight back

My Cowshed calendar arrived today but I haven't checked the contents. It looks to me like the list on the website is an error so I'm assuming it has the nail file and not the serum.

There will be a list on the back of the calendar

Yes , It says the contents on the back

I never even thought to check the back of the box 😂And yes, as suspected, it contains the nail file.

I’ve caved in and ordered the NAP calendar with 40% off. I’m planning to put it aside for next year but not sure if I’ll stay strong.

I have had a response from Cowshed regarding the missing serum. They've apologised and said they would be sending a replacement as a 'gesture of goodwill'.

I and many others relied on the website listing of contents before spending money, even on a discounted AC, due to more limited spending this year. It seemed pretty poor that the most expensive item listed in the contents blurb was the item that was swapped out ... for a nail file.

Will update when/if the serum arrives.

So now presumably they’re going to have to send out replacements to all who bought it?

That's not true. They didn't replace the £38 serum with a mini nail file. There are several variations between the two sets of products. The nail file variation has a full size eye balm worth £25. It also has a Wonder balm worth £12. I reckon that both variations are of a similar price, but I can't be bothered to check.
I was disappointed though that the listing on the Cowshed site was wrong and I ordered because the full size serum was almost the price of the reduced calendar. I wrote to them and I heard back from them yesterday morning that they are sending me the serum so I'm happy. Otherwise I would have returned the calendar as that was the reason why I ordered it.

I haven’t even had a reply! I’ve sent it back.

I was going to ask whether anyone had bought that! It's a good discount but I can't decide whether it's worth it for me. I definitely wouldn't have considered it at full price.

Where is it being advertised at that price please ? Can’t find it .

I ordered the NAP too. I used the slower option for delivery, I will use it as weight loss motivation. Pound down, little treat for me. I never had NAP so looking forward.

It’s on NAP sale website

Price was good. I’ve never had NAP before but a couple of the full size items that I’ll definitely use are are over or around £100. Seems worth it

Great incentive!

I have had the same issue with Cowshed and have emailed, I don’t think it is fair for the largest price item to be swapped even if an eye cream is substituted.

I assume NAP stands for Net A Porter? I looked at it on the website. The actual price on checkout is £30 more than the advertised price!! So it’s no from me because it feels like being conned .

they keep changing the discount between 30 and 40%. I paid the 40% off, the price didn't change but it's back to 30% off only today. It happened before, I have been price watching it for some time

Yes Net-A-Porter. I noticed price has increased today, I got it at 40% off

All Rituals advents now at 30% off so I’ve taken the plunge. I can now stop looking. Yay!
