Beauty Advent Calendars 2023 Part B - have we chosen...or not?

[Stoic123]

Are we going to buy or have we peaked?

I have such a large stash from last year and it’s all kept in drawers hidden away. My H tested me to write out each of the products and I got about 3 in total. It made me feel very guilty so he’s going to get one of the old empty calendars and put my stash behind each door so that I have something to open come December.

*If Space NK, Selfridges or Sephora reduce I’m still getting it though 😂

@OchonAgusOchonOh Anthropologie is mixed brand!

I’m still very undecided. Still need to add a couple of calendars to my spreadsheet and then make a choice.

For anyone interested, code JACKPOT gets 25% of the ASOS calendar today.

Is It? I don't know why I thought it was single brand. Thanks a million. I have always dismissed it as a single brand!
Thank you. I'm off to investigate.

I got excited as spacenk have a GWP but it doesn’t seem to work with the advent, even though I can’t see any small print to say it doesn’t count

Unfortunately, Antrophologie don't ship the calendar to Ireland. Presumably because of the perfumes.😟

Thank you for thinking of us though @Whenwillglorioussummercome I do appreciate it.

Sorry for getting your hopes up @OchonAgusOchonOh! I think I saw a more generic delivery page.

Sorry @Peridot1 - I should have tagged you in my response too.

I do appreciate you thinking of those of us in the AC wilderness😁

Unfortunately they can't ship atomisers internationally and Liberty seems to be the only one who does substitutes in the perfume drawers for international shipping.

Antropologie looks great though. Only 2 DoD for me (the nail varnishes). Most of it is stuff new to me. I will start checking out their site generally as it looks interesting, so at least that is something😀

The Bobbi Brown calendar is now available. I would’ve been tempted with John Lewis had the Tilbury palette been a different shade. I could still be tempted with a discount. I could also be tempted with NAP with a decent discount.

The only one I’m interested in is Space NK but I’m not interested enough at the price it is. It looks like a lot of people feel that way…

I’ll be another one hoping it doesn’t sell out and it’s reduced a bit!

The Mintd calendar is available and looks pretty good

Bit weird that there's an anti aging scalp serum though. I can't say that scalp aging is top of my list of concerns!

Nice that they offer you a choice on the votary product

I would like to see more Calendars offering a choice. Particularly when it comes to things like lipstick shades. They should do different versions for different skin tones.

My SpaceNK arrived today, I haven’t changed my mind in that it looks decidedly unfestive but I’m really happy otherwise!!

Boots Macmillan is down to £44 from £90! Just happened upon it whilst searching for the elusive Boots Premium AC.
Bagged one, feel very pleased indeed 😀

I agree. There are some very strange colour choices sometimes!

Been following this thread but not posted yet. Had my eye on Elemis but I opened one of the Glow moisturises from another set yesterday and it didn't suit my skin so I'm rethinking now.
Also what do GWP mean?

@Moofart Gift with purchase

The Elemis calendar doesn't have the overnight matrix cream which is a shame.

Thank you.

Yes and also sample size for a lot of products

Debenhams is a bit boring again for me but nevertheless, I would use most things. If it's reduced I will buy. I already have a lot of what's in the Macmillan and I'm doggedly working my way through them but no wow factor. Soap and Glory stuff I find a bit meh and 2 eyeliners ? The cleanse and polish is ok I suppose but a workhorse rather than a bit of luxury.
the Anthropolgie still looks good to me, and Glossybox if it's reduced. So disappointed with Flannels it was fab last year and my favourite ever calendar.

I love the look of the JL calendar but it's out of my price range at full price, does this one usually get discounted??

It did for a time last year but I think only if it doesn't sell out quickly.

Is anyone looking at Glossybox?
