General beauty advent calendar opening thread - all welcome

[AprilLady]

As in previous years, this is a thread for all those opening beauty advent calendars not covered by specific threads, though happy for any to be posted here too. We’d also love to hear about other non-beauty calendars.

Only one ask please, do not disclose contents of calendars before 7am on the relevant day.

I’ll be opening the Liberty and Fortnum and Mason calendars. Possibly also Latest in Beauty, assuming it arrives on time.

Only two sleeps to go - looking forward to it!

Thanks for setting up the thread, I have Latest in Beauty, Debenhams and Degustabox as a family to open. Have set them all up ready for Thursday and looking forward to a bit of Christmas positivity!

Thanks for the thread! Getting excited now. I've got Clinique and DD has one of the Body Shop calendars. DH has a Degustabox so we're all ready to go.

I'm still hanging on for any last minute deals on other calendars if they get discounted further. I'd love one for January 😀

I have CB but I love the w&s thread so will hang out here too.

I . also have a marzipan one. Anton Berg, not Niederegger as I mistakenly claimed in the last thread. I had been debating between the 2.

Thanks for the thread! My LiB one has been dispatched, looking forward to seeing my mystery box contents.

I have CB and Liberty, so will be kn those threads, but also Degustabox so will hang out here too :)

I have a NUXE calendar (which I’m especially excited by). I think that will fit in W&S! I also have M&S (which I loved last year. My only previous AC) and the Sephora (yet to arrive). Am I the only person who haven’t opened the brown delivery boxes? I wanted to forget the details of what’s in them and I’ve succeeded 🙂

Oh can I join!

My DH carted the M&S one back overseas for me so I will not post until someone else does as I am ahead in time!

Limited supply of products where I am and very expensive so sure most items will be well received.

Would of liked another calendar but due to time constraints the M&S arrived the day before he flew back, and was very heavy!

I have not peeked or anything so each day will be a nice surprise.

Thanks for setting up the thread @AprilLady. JL & Fenwick's here, neither of which I've had before, plus Bonne Maman, a spice one and other ransoms!

Excited for tomorrow, I also can't really remember what's in them.

I'm sad I only have a dairy milk one! I might see if I can snap a beauty one up on the 1st of december

JL here, had it before and always please though would love a Lib one 😍

I have No7, which I know is not terribly exciting but I do love No7 products so it will be great for me 😊.

JL & M&S here
Had Lib last year but preferred the JL
Would have loved a fragrance one...missed the boat on that

Hi I have the Sephora one and a pukka tea, DH has the craft gin club & ds1 has a naked marshmallow one that came with a burner to melt them. I am currently trying to stop myself ordering lib now it has such a good discount.

Admittedly it's last years, but glossy have a calendar for 40 if it helps www.glossybox.co.uk/beauty-box/glossybox-surprise-me-advent-calendar-2021-worth-465/13082399.html (SPOILERS (FOR LAST YEARS THINGS) ARE IN THE PICTURES ADVERTISING IT, SCROLL RIGHT DOWN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM.)

Hello all 😀

Ah great idea thanks!

Thank you @AprilLady
I've JL and LiB but might have room for another..

Thanks for the opening thread 🤩
I’m here for the best time of Christmas…advent sharing.
I have …er, cough splutter..a few calendars. I will be here and other relevant threads.
Girl guide honour, no spilling before 7am….couldn’t find a girl guide, so have a fairy instead 🧚‍♀️

I have the OPI calendar, a different nail polish every day. Would love to say I'll be doing a fresh manicure every day but let's not get ahead of ourselves

No worries lovely. They're fast with dispatch atm too. I ordered mine yesterday and its coming today between 4 and 5pm!

I've just got the Holland and Barret one as really liked last years.
Ready to roll

I have the JL this year, very excited!
Got it on a weekend trip to the UK two weeks ago and brought it back in my suitcase. Last year I had Rituals and Muesli, so this feels a step up 😂

I've got HN, can't wait!

I remember your muesli one last year @FaoinDrualus - I quite fancied that one.

I have JL for this year. Did I need it? No. Have I enough stuff to make three advent calendars with full size items? Yes. Did I get it anyway? Yes.

The H&B packaging looks much improved from a few years ago! Mine fell apart before the middle of Dec!

I'm so jealous of the marzipan calendar - I bloody love it! Hope there's some in the Degustabox 😄
