Or will you start opening in November?

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

Continuing the thread.

I like the Elle calendar but the subscription thing put me right off.
Watching now for reductions ( I live in hope) especially on byTerry and Anthropologie.

By Terry is 25% off on the Look Fantastic website. I've been very tempted to order than one!

GentlemanJack · 12/11/2023 17:30

I've just looked, Midnight. I'm tempted !

Snap but ratio must be 2/3 orange.

Green triangles for me ….saw in JL you could fill a box with whatever you wanted. Then I thought I’d probably need to run several marathons to get rid of the calories! 😁 So I walked away!

LaBrujaPiruja · 12/11/2023 19:29

No update from Vogue on where my AC is and no refund or replacement. Beware! Don’t buy this AC, if there are problems there’s nobody there to help.

Growlybear83 · 12/11/2023 19:33

I'm so sorry you've had such trouble. WhT a disappointment after buying what should have been such a lovely treat. I do hope you get your refund from PayPal quickly.

Twinsandsome · 12/11/2023 20:05

Aww im actually gutted about harrods! I should have went for it x

SwordBilledHummingbird · 12/11/2023 20:06

That's awful @LaBrujaPiruja , I really hope you get your refund soon but it doesn't make up for the disappointment. If it were me, I'd be tempted to leave an honest review once I had my refund.

Puravida23 · 12/11/2023 20:09

So sorry to hear this @LaBrujaPiruja . Really disappointing to hear Vogue customer service haven’t stepped up to sort this out.

Twinsandsome · 12/11/2023 20:18

That’s shocking @LaBrujaPiruja and especially out such a chunk of money. I hope they get you sorted. @Talisin how did you get on with Sephora? I think I’m going to order now x

ClarkeWGrisswald · 12/11/2023 20:30

@GracePalmer33 I'd email and cancel. As that is not made clear in an upfront immediately visible way. Cheeky bastards

ClarkeWGrisswald · 12/11/2023 20:31

@pinkchampagne1 they've made considerably fewer calendars this year I believe

Talisin · 12/11/2023 20:53

@Twinsandsome Last heard from them on Monday, big fat nothing since. I think a week is more than long enough to sort this out and am planning to go nuclear on them tomorrow.

TomasA · 12/11/2023 23:43

I highly recommend the youtube channel Random Lifestyle Vlog! They have recently posted loads of unboxings of advent calendars on their channel including Vogue and Plouise. I bought the Vogue one because of how great it looked! Did any of you see the unboxing they did?

Yes, I love her channel and subscribe. I like how natural she is and she doesn't drone on and on. I like Cosmetopia too but she rarely has an unboxing which spoils it a little. The one I can't bear is Eltoria. False as f*

I’ve watched only one of Eltoria. That voice! Had to turn off half way through.

SwordBilledHummingbird · 13/11/2023 08:39

I've just ordered the CB box. I've been wanting to try the blush for a while and my niece loves Ouai products and has asked for some for Christmas, so it works out good value.

kerstina · 13/11/2023 08:57

Thank you for linking the cult beauty . Had been disappointed ASOS advent had sold out as was looking for something to cheer me up so that box is perfect and I love the superfood glow primer.

CaveMum · 13/11/2023 11:32

You lot are a bad influence, I’ve just ordered the CB box too 🙈

Pinenu · 13/11/2023 11:39

I’ve gone for it too.

I’m beginning to accept I likely won’t get another AC this year (I got the LiB for November) so I’ll add the CB edit to my refilled AC for December.

SoloCat · 13/11/2023 12:46

I’ve ordered too…not sure if I’m going to gift the box, or spilt to add to each recipients gift boxes I’m making. Or keep some bits for myself 😁

kerstina · 13/11/2023 12:49

Just noticed the Charlotte Tilbury is only 1 ml ! She seems a bit of a skinflint considering all the money she must be making ! Obviously probably not her personally but still.

MavisMcMinty · 13/11/2023 12:55

Liberty’s 12-day jewellery AC is on sale, for those who have £600 to spare.

MavisMcMinty · 13/11/2023 12:57

…But as Silver by Mail has a Black Friday 70% off selected brands, I’d get a lot more for my £600 there.

I don’t have £600 thoughbut.
