Continuing the discussion ...will there be some good discounts?

I will @Possimpible. But you never know and I might have succumbed to one by then anyway! 😄

I've just got an email from Flannels for 20% off full price items start's Midnight tonight.
Code is FF20
But the ad in email says valid until 1st May 2023
T&C link doesn't show details of excluded items or any other details for this particular offer.
Make of it what you will

I'm staying strong and not ordering any ACs at the moment. I do get ridiculously excited every time someone posts a new purchase on here and feel genuine happiness on your behalf brave ladies.

@Branster I got the same email but says valid till 6.11.23 so hopefully legit. I got excited for a minute thinking Flannels had the Bioeffect serum, but that was Fenwick 😩 Still a decent discount though, I'll have a look and see if I can get anyone's Christmas presents sorted

The Flannels code doesn't work with their Beauty Christmas Cracker after all.

If anyone is interested in the Fenwicks one, the code FENDM23 takes £16.50 off it

The more I look at the Fenwicks calendar, the more I am tempted by it. Trying to resist buying as I really don’t need a 3rd calendar!

Hi, Wanted to get the M&S calendar online, but it says sold out. Will it be restocked? Not seen it advertised anywhere!

I don’t think it’s been released yet: Thursday 26th is the date. Two days to go.

A friend has today recommended Medik8 vitamin C serum - I know there’s one albeit not full size in the Look Fantastic calendar. Does anyone know if it’s in any others? Or anyone else use it and recommend?

@Nearlyadoctor There's a 30ml in the Sephora indulgence box. Same price as LF but overall I prefer the Sephora.

@pinkchampagne1 I just don't think the Fenwicks is that great so if you need someone to put you off it... It's only 12 days, contains AB cream, a teeny Barbara Sturm product, one (1) singular bobble, a Benefit product (boring), Escentric molecules which I'm convinced is the emperor's new clothes, and a tiny shampoo and conditioner. The only decent products IMO are the Bioeffect and possible the EviDenS moisturiser (never tried it but it's £££)

I'm tempted by the l'occitane one for my mum, watched an unboxing on YouTube and it seems like a lot of stuff my mum would love, need to find a discount however

I was in France at the weekend and the pharmacy had the L’Occitane one for 25% off. Not hugely helpful to most on here, I know!

Thanks, I need talking out of buying another calendar. DH bought me the John Lewis one and I have also ordered the OK advent with the discount. I also have a stash of products still to use. I watched an unboxing video and was slightly tempted by the extra discount. It doesn’t seem to add the beauty box now despite it still showing on their site and saying it is available until December. 🤔

Space Nk have a new GWP (code Wonderland) for spend over £250…. Unfortunately it dosent work with the advent

@Possimpible - thank you , very tempted by that Sephora indulgence box.

@Puravida23 the space NK GWP code is working with the advent calendar for me (need to spend an extra £15 to get it). The T&C for the GWP do not exclude the advent.

@Nearlyadoctor I think the Sephora indulgence edit is good - 10% off if you have chosen Sephora collections as one of your two brand favourites.

If any of you are after the boots advent calendars then the discount code just worked on the protect/perfect one I got for MIL, plus a free gift. They say works across everything.
15% off SAVE15 valid until 1pm then drops to 10% SAVE10 1-5pm then 5% SAVE5 5-11pm today only

I’ve just got the indulgence one from Sephora. I love the medik8 vit C, plus some things I wanted to try- and using other bits as a present. I’ll report back when it’s arrived. It would make an excellent refill for a calendar.

@AprilLady you are right I must have spelt it wrong first time round. Mmm tempting I will need to think about this now as very tempted by SpaceNk Advent

I’m tempted too but thought we might see some GWP before any discounts so I might hold off for now.

If there are no discounts to be had then so be it. We’ve recently had a huge hit from vet bills so I could probably do without the temptation to spend tbh.

Thoughts please on Mintd?
not seen mentioned very much but looks expensive

more temptation! Another beauty box released

Boots

I was in town today and saw the Space NK one, the box itself put me off it! Looked very flimsy and not as nice as the ones I've prev had but it's the content that matters I guess... I saw the Molton Brown one too which looked lovely, I'm tempted by that now!

Gosh, that’s a very good price for all those full-size products from Boots! The Elemis cleansing balm alone costs £48 from Elemis.

Boots have done pretty well this year. I don't want those products so won't be buying, but it's a great price for all that. And a 75ml Sol de Janeiro! The luxury calendars are only including 25ml (don't think I've seen any larger sizes this year) so they should be ashamed.

@Emmmmz9 It's a lot of money for a 12 day calendar. I'm not familiar with 4 of the brands, I'm sure they're very high end, but it's not for me. Also a scalp serum..? It's a bit of a niche product.
