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.

@laclochette sadly the advent calendar isn't included in the Liberty promo.

I'm thinking of getting one of the fragrance ones, Penhaligon's or L'Artisan maybe. Anyone else?

The calendar was included last year. Will look.

I don’t think it is included this year. I’m wondering if John Lewis will be discounted?

My Degusta AC arrived today. OMG it's HUGE. I told DH it's his advent calendar but he doesn't have a clue what type, we are keeping it in the packaging til Dec!

@SoloCat I work in the beauty industry so that's the word on the street 😀

It's still a lovely calendar and I do love it but there's a limit to how many advent calendars one person can have

If I won the lottery I’d buy enough fancy ACs to open on every day of the year.

If? I mean of course WHEN.

Also a new pair of socks to wear on every day of the year.

My needs are simple.

Oh no. I’ve gone and bought the OK Christmas beauty box, having resisted for the last week. I may demand £55 from my OH and have it as a Christmas pressie from him. In my defence I will use most of it, maybe even everything.

@LaBrujaPiruja you bought product from CondeNast, which legally means there is a contract between two parties, you fulfilled you obligation to pay, Vogue needs to fulfill their obligation to deliver the product they are legally bound to do. You have no business to talk to DPD because you don’t have any contractual relationship with DPD. It was CondeNast who contracted DPD to provide them with delivery service. Call CondeNast and tell their Customer Services to stop fob you off and get talking to DPD pronto. It’s their obligation, no ifs no buts. DPD don’t want to deal with you because they have no business with you, they signed contract with CondeNast.

gosh, makes me angry on your behalf!! I hope this resolves quickly for you, you will get money back, don’t worry about that. I would definitely take to social media this one, £350 is no joke, on what planet those people live?!
(I will now go to have a glass of cold water to calm down…)

John Lewis calendar now has 10% off so is now £175. Offer is on until 29.11 so guessing it is for Black Friday. 🤔

Sorry, it ends on 27.11 not 29th

I guess that means that anyone who has paid the full price in the last 4 weeks can claim
the difference

John Lewis has several other discounts on AC including Molton Brown, Clarins, Charlotte Tilbury and Lumene. I wonder if others will start too….

Oh yes, some have 25% off. 😊

Tempted by JL but what’s with all the red eye shadows around at the moment?
That CT pallet is in so many ADs in that colour combo. My eyes do not need extra redness 😍😂

Well I’ve just bought an advent calendar. Sadly not a beauty one for me but a whiskey one for DH! I’ll definitely be feeling I’m missing out not having one now I think. But I’m broke now after being away last week and really can’t justify one still due to very large stash. Which I added to while I was in NY. Might get myself a chocolate one today so I have something!

I've finally decided to just go ahead and order the JL calendar so was very chuffed to see the 10% off! I'm so glad I waited, especially as the vouchers I had saved meant that I only paid a grand total of 94p. Just what I needed after quite a stressful week.

Trying hard not to twitch on the Clarins 12 day one which has 20% off, bringing it to £52...

Nice one @Roundaboot! That sounds like a bargain.

@Peridot1 total bargain! You should definitely get yourself at least a chocolate one, or will your DH share his whiskey?

Do you have an empty one from previous years? If so, could you get your dh or someone else to raid your stash and fill it so you have something to open. I have the memory of a goldfish and insane quantities of stuff so that would work for me.

Ugh to whiskey @Roundaboot! Yuck!

@OchonAgusOchonOh - I don’t have an empty one no but I don’t think that would work for me anyway. I kind of know what I have so none of it would be a surprise. I’ll make do with chocolate!

You get £10 off the Hotel Chocolat advent calendar right now.

It’s normally £75 but they’re offering £10 off when you spend £65 or £20 off if you spend £85.

Just saying 😜

Ooh thanks @CaveMum! Although I love marzipan so may look at the marzipan one JL do…..

I don’t much like Hotel Chocolat, although have bought their chocolate collections as gifts in previous years.

I’m a strawberry and orange creams from Quality Street fan.

Yay!!! @Roundaboot
That's an awesome deal and you did really well to save your vouchers- I'm terrible with vouchers because I either use them straightaway or completely forget I have them until after they expire.
Enjoy it!

Yay thanks @pinkchampagne1 , just ordered the JL one. I’d really been hoping it would get discounted!
