General chat about beauty advent calendars.

Looks like Space NK has sold out.

Well after resisting all Black Friday deals I've just caved and bought some Elemis stuff off ASOS, 30ml pro collagen night cream had 25% off and the cleansing balm 29% off, I then applied code ALLIN and got a further 15% off so got both for £71 when the night cream alone is normally £69!

I love Elemis but can't afford it as everyday skin care anymore so I'm very excited .

@AprilLady clearly that was meant to be - I don't see how you could have said no.

I thought last year's Flannels one looked excellent btw - almost bought it instead of JLP. Do we have threads planned for all of these?????

I am dithering of buying Lumene. It's £51 with code extra15.

I had an Elemis win as I got the QVC set, with a first order discount, for £58, which was a great bargain. But they sent it to the wrong address, all my own error for messing up the scroll down, and it got sent back. I called them and they sent me out a new one straightaway, and then the original one turned up. They’ve told me just to keep it. So I have an enormous Elemis stash for under £60. I am going to give the second box as a present though.

@InfinityOrUndefined I ordered Lumene last year and sent it back as I was disappointed with the size and quality. It then went down to 60% off in January.

Is anyone waiting for a cyber Monday calendar deal?

@Pinenu Thanks! Good to know. Dm used to use Lumene products for decades but eventually got allergic to their products. I am just curious. I remember trying her creams when I was young but they felt too creamy. I am getting allergic to certain creams so I am bit vary to try something dm grew allergic. But I will see if the price go down in January.

@Brody77 to evilly enable, although the Diptyque has minis, the minis themselves sell for a lot, and the perfumes last a long time!

Been lurking for ages (maybe years, lurked last year then all the ones I wanted sold out while I hummed and hawed).
Just caved and got the LiB one, not tik tok the higher priced one which comes with the beauty box.
Have to say I'm feeling kind of guilty, it's a fair chunk of money and I always feel guilty spending money on face creams etc when I often use a super drug own brand.
I was looking at the Next one but saw an unboxing that said it was disappointing with lots of sample sizes.
Was planning to get H&B due my sister as she uses only eco products and I loved the one I had in 2020. Again, been umming about getting it and now someone said OOS? Oh well, will have to look at some beauty boxes for her, or the woolly socks - who doesn't appreciate lovely cosy socks?!

@Jumbojem I felt guilty too but figured that I work hard and deserve something to look forward to that will make me smile. I too use Superdrug own stuff (and love it) which I see as justifying splashing out every now and then.
Have you seen the Superdrug vitamin E and C bundles currently on offer? They look great.

Also the H&B TikTok shop seems to still have calendars for £40.

Sorry to send temptation your way.

Selfridges have advent calendars half price. Their calendar is £105.

Fenwick 50% off.

I absolutely don’t need another but might have a little Selfridges browse.

Fenwick out of stock last jight online. I was going to buy it half price, so thank goodness.

Very tempting!

Bloody hell, I didn’t expect Selfridges to be so dull. No wonder they’ve had to reduce it.

Just went to buy the Selfridges one. When you add it to your basket it shows as out of stock sadly!

Cult Beauty at £190 with a code, really thought they might take more off today

Oh shame @spidersenses .
But what a year it has been for the bargains if you could hold your nerve and buy late or just want to stock up for next year (I think I own 3 Olaplexes now!) . I don’t think we will see a year like this again it will be interesting to see what happens next year I predict we will still see lots of bargains for the first half of the year at least with GWPs
But sadly I have shot my Beauty budget to bits so definately a no spend 2023 for me.

I know, I saw a cyber discount code, got excited, then just an extra tenner off!

That’s a shame, I’d have probably gone for the Selfridges AC.

I’m surprised CB haven’t reduced further, they don’t seem to be shifting on the TikTok shop. Despite being reduced to £140, £180 and £190 it shows as just 42 sold on there whereas LiB have sold 1146!

is There still any of the Lib on the tic tok does anyone know before I download the app x

Diptyque saying last few units left so seems like they won’t reduce it to £100! That’s that fantasy out of the window.

Yep there are. The prices fluctuate so suggest you don’t purchase until you see it for 99.50 (or lower - wonder if they’ll discount further as we get closer to Christmas).

Has anyone who has ordered off TikTok received theirs yet?

Still showing as available but for me it's always been at £124.
Can't wait yo delete this stupid tiktok app!

I've caved in and bought LiB from their website with the free box offer and I really hope the box will be decent.
