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.

That code isn't working for me , shame as I might have folded if it had. I think OK and Elle are both decent mid range options.

Still hoping for more discounts going about , it's nearly mid November so am hanging on in there and checking this thread daily.

Only have Glossybox so far . Last year had Flannels , year before Space NK then m&s / rituals / lumene before that.

My issue this year was that the premiums were too same-y to justify their cost . So I'd only go for one now if a decent discount to make up for DOD which for me are things like Olaplex , anything sleep spray related , AB cream or nail polishes !

Thanks for measuring @Theraffarian
@Isabelle70 my box hasn't arrived yet but from memory it's pretty massive!

I have just tested the code and it appears to be still valid. It is 10 OK (no space) the OK bit in capitals

The Elle one is down to £99 now.

I really was not inspired by the calendars this year. Maybe the super products didn’t resonate enough with me but scanning the contents felt very much like more and more of the same.

I wasn't going to buy one this year but I bought the Boots No 7 Restore and renew AC when it was further discounted in the Black Friday sale a week ago

I'm glad did because I'm quite excited to have an AC to open up

I usually go for the JL one which has had great products in the past but I just didn't want to spend much this year on an AC when my skincare routine is sort of perfected

I've not tried the restore and renew range and am happy to try their moisturisers and other bits and bobs

It only cost me £44 so I'm happy with that

Many thanks @Giftwithpurchase and @Theraffarian that's absolutely huge! I don't think it's worth £20 to ship!
I will see if JL or Amazon have something different for him.

Boots showstopper coming soon. Doesn't excite me:

Not sure whether that link works but it's also here:

@MidnightMeltdown thank you for the Boots link. Saw this was coming but nice to have a look at what’s included. Feel I have a lot similar already from ACs

@MidnightMeltdown is there any info about the two Boots crackers they are releasing too please?

Thanks @MidnightMeltdown , the Boots Showstopper doesn't excite me but I know there are lots on here buying for older teens and I think that would be a great option.

Thought I was going to get the Elle full price at one point but now I don't even want it at £99.

I've not seen anything about those

Agree that it would make a nice gift for a teen

I bought the Revolution AC for my teen from Superdrug

I bought her the Sephora AC the other year and it wasn't very impressive tbh

I have the No 7 Ultimate Beauty, John Lewis, Cult Beauty and Liberty advent calendars. I have absolutely no idea how that happened. 😂

Don’t feel bad, @AppleDumplingWithCustard - you’ve made me feel better about my 4 calendars, it’s actually a good deed you’ve done.

I think I may actually have talked myself out of JLP. I was sure I would buy it if there was a discount....but hmmmm

I love the idea of the CT palette, but I could just nab that for £20 on ebay. Like the sound if the fragrance too but I have a fragrance cracker....some other good stuff...

Then I realised thr bedlinen I really need and have listed after was 20% off - and about 75 cheaper than the AC ! So I bought that. AC now rather hard yo justify!

Thank you OK for more tempting offers!! 🙈😂

I had talked myself out of John Lewis but ended up ordering the other day - I like the mix of things in there. But last night I also bought the Glossybox one! Could get either £15 off (on top of the £10 subscriber discount) or a GWP which was a £70 box. I plumped for the former so got it for £55

The OK Christmas box looks amazing value. Very tempting but I have 3 advent calendars and the Boots beauty box so really don’t need it! Must sit on my hands 😆

@pinkchampagne1 I know!!! Such amazing offers but also trying my best to resist 😂

I gave in!

I love the look of Harrods but would need to be seriously discounted .
