Looks like the Fenwicks gwp has finished now so the temptation for me to buy that calendar (that I really didn’t need) is over!

I abstained too…I started to think of use by dates and how I’ll end up with tons of expensive products I end up throwing away, stopped me pulling the trigger 😁

Does anyone know what the perfume in the JL simmer cracker is like? The Laura mercier stick and Bobbi brown lipstick be perfect like stocking fillers for my teen nieces but never smelt the perfume and scared it be too old for them?

PomRuns · 18/10/2023 11:47

The crackers look very good value but not the shades for me sadly.

PomRuns · 18/10/2023 12:50

@Puravida23 thanks so much for all these links, will browse when having lunch.

Dee1224 · 18/10/2023 13:51

Ooh, I like those boxes @Puravida23 - thanks!

Puravida23 · 18/10/2023 14:07

My favourite is the mask collection with the feeling cheeky peach bum mask!

That perfume is very popular on tik tok "fragrancetok" if it helps! Although I don't know the typical ages of the people recommending it

BaconAndAvocado · 18/10/2023 15:15

Oohh that Glow Recipe cracker looks perfect for DD!

Pinenu · 18/10/2023 15:50

Oooo I like the Sephora boxes. They’re more along the lines of what I was hoping for from CB.

Thank you for sharing @Puravida23

Possimpible · 18/10/2023 16:04

The Sephora boxes are excellent, agree CB have been put to shame. I like the look of the Bath & Body and the Indulgence Collection one. Might get both instead of the Elle calendar, I'd get 10% off as I added Sephora to my favourite brands in advance of the calendar. Tempting...

Peridot1 · 18/10/2023 16:30

Yes the Sephora boxes are much better than Cult Beauty. Thinking of getting the men’s grooming one for DS.

pinkchampagne1 · 18/10/2023 16:54

I am wondering if the JL calendar has sold out already, as I went to look it up to check the price hadn’t reduced (I bought if day of release) and it doesn’t appear to be on their site anymore. 🤔

CinnamonCoffee · 18/10/2023 18:53

JL was in my basket and just checked and it's sold out!
I'm trying to find the Sephora haircare xmas box but it seems to be gone. Does anyone know if it's sold out?

TragicMuse · 18/10/2023 18:55

My Latest in Beauty edit box has arrived and is fab! Masses and mostly full sizes. Very very pleased with it all!

Possimpible · 18/10/2023 19:02

Now do we think JL has actually sold out? I seem to remember them doing this a couple of years ago and then more came in stock. It might be to stir up some FOMO

moimichme · 18/10/2023 19:18

If the JL website doesn't list it anymore, I suspect it's an error of some sort, rather than being sold out. Could be wrong though!

pinkchampagne1 · 18/10/2023 19:21

I noticed it wasn’t listed anymore and when I searched ‘beauty advent calendars’ it just listed all the others they sell but not the JL one. 🤔

Talisin · 18/10/2023 19:52

The link from beautyadvent.net to the JL calendar doesn’t work either so they haven’t hidden it - it’s actually deleted which is not what JL usually do.

Stoic123 · 18/10/2023 19:55

Product recall or fault on the JL calendar? I wonder if someone has gone through the drawers and noticed something awry so they are doing a quality check. In the past when sold out, it has shown as out of stock.

Yeah this is what I was thinking. Seems odd that they've just deleted it.

I did look at the reviews for it at some point and noticed someone complaining that the size of one of the items wasn't as expected. Seems a bit extreme to delete the listing though!

pinkchampagne1 · 18/10/2023 20:58

It does seem strange. Like you say, it usually just shows as out of stock when it sells out. It has gone from being in stock to totally disappearing from their site.
