Beauty Advent Calendars 2023 Part D- waiting till December?

[Stoic123]

Or will you start opening in November?

Either way, it's not long now......time to make your choice (s).

Continuing the thread.

Wow that's a thing of beauty @ACAC2023. I really don't need anything this year but am tempted by the gorgeous design. Bet the boxes will sell for stacks on eBay!

@Stokey inside each draw, there is a miniature card with picture on with a description of the product and a QR code for more info. I was thinking of using it to store paired socks when it’s empty 😂

Oh my! That is beautiful @ACAC2023 I love the level of detail.

I was just going to ask what you’ll use it for afterwards because it’s far too lovely to sell or put away. Sock drawers is a great idea.

I don't know about me @Pinenu, I am thinking of putting it away and just refilling it every year as a little tradition!

Thank you everyone for the reassurance. I didn't order mine until later on, so I'm assuming it's based on that- I just panicked that I hadn't heard anything!

@HollyGolightly4 I hope you hear something soon. If it helps my order number was 7454 & I ordered almost as soon as they opened for orders.

Has anyone got a code for the degusta advent please . I just realised the dates up on the one I had

Oh yes @HollyGolightly4 that’s a lovely idea. Gives you a good excuse to treat yourself next year with 25 (or more) goodies too.

Yay! My two cake advent calendars are on their way! Still don’t know whether to keep the second one for myself, as my OH is very unlikely to let me share the one I got for him.

@MavisMcMinty is there a cake AC??!!
That might be the thing for my DH.
Where did you order from please?

I'm rather excited by the idea of a cake advent calendar!

Ordered it at least a month ago from here:

https://www.thefoodmarket.com/t/categories/christmas/advent-calendars?utf8=%E2%9C%93&per_page=48&order_by=orders_count%2Cdesc%2Cpromote_products&page=1&keywords=&skip_keywords_search=false

Got them for £20 each, reduced from £40+, but I see they’ve all sold out now.

There is on page 2 of my link a rare old whiskey (whisky? I never know) AC selling for £1000.

Thank you @MavisMcMinty
At least I know they exit so I'll do some googling. Not as exciting as 'researching' Beauty ACs.
It's a shame DH is not that much into whisky. If I was to get him a £1000 whisky AC which would be a true enjoyment for him, then I'd feel quite good about getting a Vogue AC for myself.
It puts it all into perspective.
That's soooo expensive!!!

I saw that HN have a cake calendar. I don't like fruit cake though. Just as well, otherwise I'd probably be buying it 😂

Pleased to report my Vogue calendar arrived today. To avoid temptation I’m going to leave the package completely unopened until 1 Dec

My men’s flannels fragrance cracker order did also arrive today. I ordered it back in September. They obviously had a major stock control problem, and pre-sold too many. I assume they then cancelled the most recent orders.

Oh that's weird @AprilLady

I'm surprised that the women's one is still in stock tbh

My Flannels fragrance cracker also arrived today - packed in a plastic bag so the cardboard was all crushed. Not great.

Luckily it's for meeeeee not a gift but still...

@Puravida23 I can't see a MAC discount, where did you see it? Thanks

@Ilikeyoursleeves it was on the Look fantastic app. It was there this morning but back to full price now I see. It did say short time only though so I guess it’s finished. If you are interested it might be worth hanging on and seeing if they do it again as part of their Black Friday deals . Look fantastic tends to switch their prices up and down quite frequently

@Puravida23 thanks. It's going me favour being back full price cos I really don't need it!!!!

I don’t know if this is a good price or not but these l’occitane calendars are on offer at brand alley

Vogue unboxing on You Tube for those who want to see

Omg I have serious Vogue love! I just can’t justify the cost. It is a thing of beauty. Enjoy you lovely people.

Flannels often has bargains but its part of Mike Ashley’s empire so always hit and miss with the customer service. A bag is not acceptable for a beauty cracker.

My Vogue AC was delivered to the wrong address. DPD refusing to help. I emailed Vogue Shop yesterday but no news from them. Cannot find any contact number… any ideas?

@LaBrujaPiruja what a nightmare. Can you not see what address it was.? Have you been round the neighbours. Put something on your local Facebook see if anyone there has it.
Unfortunatley they did not deliver it to me! Imagine opening your door to that.
I am sure you will get it back and if not they will replace

@Puravida23 I’m getting very worried now as DPD refuse to help today (they were helpful yesterday) and Conde Nast just told me I have to contact DPD again.
The tracker was showing parcel delayed all pm (I posted about it) and then suddenly changed to delivered on time with a picture not showing the surroundings, just the top of the parcel. I cannot go around looking for it, this is very odd as this driver delivers to this address frequently and knows perfectly well the place.
