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

I absolutely was not going to order M&S, but now it seems I have.

Oh deeeeaaar

Not an AC but I just cracked and bought an Aurelia box for £50 - it includes their night cream which is my HG and I actually don’t have any night creams in my stash! - and the night oil which I also love, and again, I am making do with some random other oil. £70+ worth oh and I get a free night moisturiser! Win win

Yay @ACAC2023 I think there needs to be a dedicated vogue thread!

I'm definitely going to open one a day 😁

I’ll definitely be opening mine (Next, LookFantastic and M and S) one a day starting 1st December.

DD suggested saving one till Christmas Day and then opening all drawers at once....I’m much more of a delayed gratification person, she’s 15 🤣

I’m going to open my McMillan through November.

M&S one arrived and DH said, how is that a calendar, it's a bag.

🤣🤣

He’s not wrong! It’s one of the things that’s putting me off it really. I know I’ll never use it so it will be more wasteful than a cardboard box for me.

Yes, you can just apply serum to your face then use the Foreo, or apply an ordinary sheet mask then run the Foreo over it. The Foreo masks are tiny sheet masks made to slot on top of the Foreo, but they're quite expensive,

Each Foreo sheet mask does different things. For example, one will be for hydration, another for brightening, another for problem skin and so on. On the app, you choose the mask you're using and then the Foreo starts up, moving though different heat levels and different LED colours depending on the mask.

So you could just choose the setting for the type of serum or ordinary sheet mask you are using and do it that way. The app also talks to you in a lovely relaxing voice so it can feel like a massage in a spa.😂

I actually won my Foreo a couple of years ago when I was a LIB subscriber. They just added it to my order one day - apparently they did this in the hope people would promote the company on social media. They chose poorly with me though as I'm not on Facebook or anything like that.

My OK AC has arrived, along with two other Christmas pressies I’ve bought (for myself - I buy the very best presents)! I have a LOT of parcels arriving in the next few days which is fine usually as my OH is at work, but I’m going away for a few days and he’s having the week off work, so will see just how much I’ve bought…

I just had a look through my emails to see what I got last year's AC for once they were marked down. Flannels was £126 with postage in Nov, but it was huge and had some great stuff in it. Debenhams was £36 on BF with free postage, that one had discount codes for the items behind each door. From memory Glossybox went down to about £45. Hopefully there will be some decent reductions this year for whatever AC's everyone's waiting for.

Can I please ask - what does GWP mean ?
And, do Vogue ever reduce? I really want it for my daughter but I’m holding back. I stumbled on this thread by mistake and I’ve been obsessed with it for a week. After about 4000 attempts I got the boots awards beauty box - but I just didn’t realise how many advent calenders there were and now im obsessed.

GWP is gift with purchase.

I think this might be the first Vogue calendar, so not sure about reductions.

My boots box arrived today! I had a sneaky look inside at a couple of things, then put the lid back on until Christmas eve- my birthday :)

Not to worry @MavisMcMinty just tell him you’ve ‘ordered a few size options’. Works every time.

Thank you @CorneliaStreet

There was a gwp as well. I don't think it's anything special, but is free!

My OK calendar has just arrived too. It’s big!
I also went and caved after vowing not to buy another after going into Fenwicks today and seeing they were offering the gwp in store. I kept walking past and convinced myself I really didn’t need it but after the disappointment of not entering the postcode lottery (both my neighbours win over £6k) I thought I needed cheering up! 😳

Has anyone actually received a Vogue calendar yet? @ACAC2023 @HollyGolightly4 @WeAreBorg

@BakeOffRewatch they aren't being posted out till Nov 6th

I'm tempted by the M&S calendar but don't actually need anything from M&S. However, there's a jumper dress that has caught my eye. What happens if I don't like the dress? Presume I have to return the calendar too? Might be easier to go in store for a browse....

You've always been able to just return the items without anything happening.

@itsalongwaybackfromsorry that's interesting thank you

I realllly like the look of the Vogue calendar. So different!

Thank you @FinallyFinalGirl !
The cashmere socks really caught my attention in the Vogue Calendar 🙂. Not sure why they’re not posting until 6 November? Maybe they’re waiting to see how many orders they get? No idea if it will be reduced, but I didn’t want to risk missing out, as I really wanted it.
