General chat about beauty advent calendars.

Has anyone seen a good discount on the MAC advent calendar please? It's the only one I want but at £165 it's just a bit too pricey for me.

Not much of a discount but the look fantastic TikTok shop has it for £146 @Catslovepies

Thank you @Pinenu it's better than I found

I’ve just bought the cult beauty for £190. And the make up set for 34.99. I was hoping for net a porter this year as last years calendar was fantastic but it wasn’t really floating my boat this time round!

I’ve always missed out on the CB calendar, excited for its arrival!

Ah well. Sounds like I won't be terribly disappointed when I can't pick them up in time then.

For some reason, they keep giving me percy pigs or bread. The sweets are fine but I'd never actually buy them. I make my own bread so the loaves are no good to me.

Do we think CB will reduce further once it can no longer be delivered in time for December 1st?

Or are they more likely to remove the calendar entirely?

I think if CB don’t reduce then they will be doing some good GWP’s next year!
I don’t even know why I’m still watching the price, in addition to the advents I’ve purchased I’ve also recently had SpaceNK and Sephora GPW’s I’m stocked up for years.

I’m the same @Passmeaplacard I know I don’t need it but can’t help but keep an eye on it, I’m finding it all fascinating for some reason 😂

Damn this thread, damn it I say! I already have two calendars, M&S and NUXE. I had no intention of buying another. I was being sensible. I kept visiting here though and weakened and went on Lookfantastic, you know, just for a little look. Then I found that not only had their own calendar been reduced to £75, but with code ADVENTSUBS for those of us who already have a account (I don’t subscribe to their beauty box, but this worked for me), it brings the price down to £60. I’m strong, but not that strong 😳

Oh no. Just had a look at my tiktok purchase of a look fantastic calendar from a third party. They've closed their shop. Does that mean what I think it means?

@Zeeza 😧 hope not! Fingers crossed for you

I'm in the market for a couple of small gifts, £30ish, my friends aren't as into beauty products as me, had anybody seen anything about? Is rituals a naff gift? I'd love nice body stuff but I'm talking myself out of it!

Oh no @Zeeza - fingers crossed for you.

I set my JL calendar up today ready for the 1st.

Then I did a stock take. Was getting tempted by current discounts so decided a stock take was in order. I have sooooo much stuff. On a definite no buy from now.

@Catslovepies my sis got the Mac for I think £126 on look fantastic using the extra 10 code and it came with a lipstick and beauty box worth £40

@TildaRae where did you get CB for £190? Xx

The cult official store had them on tiktok for 134 last week and it claims to have shipped.

I think I've also ordered from a fake account and lost my money on a different order. So maybe tiktok isn't perfect.

@FredaFox Lookfantastic have a Laura Mercier trio gift set in their cyber sale - use code MEGA to get it half price - that I think is excellent. It’s the almond coconut one, so not quite as nice as Ambre Vanille, but would still make an excellent gift

Oh no, I've missed the boat this year! I really wanted the Selfridges one for the Le Labo. JL gone. Liberty gone.

How did you pay? Can you raise a claim with your bank/PayPal/card provider?

Aww excellent!! Lovely gift thanks!!

Yes, I will do that.

I am more concerned that tik tok appears to hand over the credit card to the seller, so I might have given the dodgy effer that.

Will we be having an unboxing thread that covers all calendars for seperate ones? I had SpaceNK last year and remember there being a thread for just that one.

Rituals premium has dropped by £20 now. Not a great reduction but might be the start of further drips if it doesn’t sell out.

*drops not drips!

Gah! This was the one I was waiting for. Do I leap now or hold my nerve? 😬

I just bought last years Glossybox advent for £40 from their own site , I like it better than last years and it's cheaper!
So that could maybe be my Jadvent?

It's got the Sarah Chapman skin tool which I've wanted to try for ages and it must be worth about £40 itself
