Oh God I have just bought LF. I won’t use half the stuff but the other stuff makes it worth it. I have an embarrassing amount of advent calendars now.

Pinenu · 29/11/2022 11:03

Now it’s showing. Oh dear I bought it.

The contents of Selfridges seems very similar to CB.

ArtfullyCrumpled · 29/11/2022 11:09

Oh god Selfridges was showing and I logged in and now it's out of stock again!

ArtfullyCrumpled · 29/11/2022 11:15

Thank you so much for the heads up @InfinityOrUndefined !! I got my dream calendar for £100!!! So excited!!!

Pinenu · 29/11/2022 11:37

Thank you from me too @InfinityOrUndefined

Solscat · 29/11/2022 11:37

And me @InfinityOrUndefined 😃

InfinityOrUndefined · 29/11/2022 11:44

Thank you. I kept eye on it because it was one of my back ups if I don't get Harrods or F&M. I ordered it.

This thread is a nightmare! Just seen your post which justified buying the Look Fantastic for my two nieces!

And now @InfinityOrUndefined , I'm tempted to get the Selfridges one for me and DD to share - although I've already got her the JL one and M & S for myself. DH has not got one - he was just not suitably excited by the Mince Pie one I got him for last year - he just can't understand the importance of advent calendars! Grin

I got my DH a coffee beans one last year and a beard oil one this year. It makes me feel slightly less overindulged if he has one too 😳

MidnightMeltdown · 29/11/2022 11:46

Lol! Feels like advent calendars are playing cat and mouse with us this year. Going in and out of stock, prices going up and down. It's all so stressful 😂

I have a confession that can only be made here.

My partner asked for a beard and hair oil for Christmas. He’s normally a bar of soap and all in one shampoo conditioner kind. I previously got him a nice skincare set but he didn’t use it because it had too many instructions.

So anyway I was looking for some hair oil on CB last night and found the hair care edit. It comes with an oil and 8 other items, all worth £180+. At £28 it seemed a bargain so I got it and plan to wrap up the oil and keep the other items for myself 😶

I got this one for my DH. Nice for them to have something to open each day and they can try them all before deciding which they prefer.

You’re such an enabling lot. I’ve decided I need another - not sure which yet.

Justification - will be thinner on ground next year probably.

AnnieSnap · 29/11/2022 12:03

MyOtherCarIsAHearse · 29/11/2022 10:32

I’m still in the denial stage of how many advents I have. Probably because I’m still not convinced I’m done. Oh well.

Come on, spill. This is a safe place 😮

Pinenu · 29/11/2022 12:07

Thanks @AnnieSnap that looks great! I’ve bought it so as well as feeling better about getting him a full present all to himself I now get to keep the hair care edit to myself too. Hurrah!

Barnesand2020 · 29/11/2022 12:49

I’ve found this whole thing so enjoyable that I’ve read the entire thread twice! This is my first post to it though and in the spirit of confessions I’m owning up to a CB and LiB, both from the tik tok shop, a thing I’d never even used before (and prob won’t again). It’s the most bizarre platform but assuming my calendars arrive, I’ll be very happy with the prices as they were def in the too good to be true range. I also have a H&B but that one was a gift. I’ve only ever had a body shop one a few years ago which was also a present, so I’ve never actually bought one for myself.

Housewife2010 · 29/11/2022 12:51

The Liberty fragrance calendar is down to £220. Still too much for me to succumb.

I may be tempted if thar goes lower. Still have some beauty drop credit to use up

Pinenu · 29/11/2022 13:16

For those of you putting away ACs for next year, it might be worth asking someone to check for any BBE dates for you. I just checked the back of H&B and there’s a product that expires Feb 2023.

FluffyFluffMonster · 29/11/2022 13:17

I tried adding the selfridges but it was saying out of stock. Went to my basket and it showed so checked out! Really hope I get it as it's amazing especially for the price 🤞🤞

shinny · 29/11/2022 13:22

Also been lurking and loving the chat.

Ive had various calendars over past few years (Birchbox, Elle, Debenhams, M&S, Amazon) and this year was gifted Liberty. So happy to see it sold out before price dropped. I want Selfridges now and keep trying to add to basket but it remains Sold Out.....if anyone manages to get it, Id be most grateful to hear as I will keep trying.

Thanks so much

InfinityOrUndefined · 29/11/2022 13:50

Selfridges page tells me mine will be here the 3rd. Not too bad. I can happily open Bodyshop couple of days and discard everything I don't like to SIL's hamper. She uses mainly Bodyshop so I bought her favourite shower gel plus freebie goodie bag already.

I have H&B for jadvent so try to use the product before it goes bad.

Confessions of a beauty addict;

Liberty
Harrods perfume
Harrods beauty
Flannels
and embarrassingly I ordered the Valmont on a Black Friday deal, discount and freebies!
I also went mad on Black Friday and ordered Sisley eye and lip anti age, which included GWP and good samples. Also the Sisley lip balm on SNK and used up my points.

Oh..just ordered the Laura Mercier on LF ! 😳😳😳

I’m now considering therapy 😁😂

shinny · 29/11/2022 14:02

OMG I need to catch up! There's almost nothing left to buy as you all seem to have snapped everything up 😆

SoloCat · 29/11/2022 14:07

Also forgot I bought the KS K8 cream with a free KS firming serum. 😬

Solo did the 50% off work for you? It only took £7ish off for me
