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.

I don't have one yet, waiting to see if any get reduced...

Have a look here, it's a good summary. They tend to be single brand

Joining. Will Vogue in December however am considering a Jadvent calendar if there is a deal on.
Feel slightly guilty that I’m spending £100s on my advent calendar and like £2 on the kids ones but hey ho, they need to learn that life isn’t fair

Hahaha this was me last year, I'd say DS was more excited about his chocolate one than I was for mine though so all winners.

Revolution have reduced the various AC on their website, if anyone has teens to buy for. Superdrug have also reduced their Revolution AC from £40 to £30

Has anyone bought the Sephora one? Looks really good value so very tempted

@MrsElijahMikaelson1 - not the advent calendar as already splurged on the JM one, but ordered the Sephora Indulgence box after it was recommended on here. Arrived yesterday and am very pleased, amazing value for the products included .

I have Liberty & Anthropologie waiting for me. Anyone else have those two? I've had CB for the last few years and will miss the fabulous Saturday before Christmas drawer, but after careful consideration Liberty has the most items I really want & I will use nearly everything. I know that Space NK has had more love here this year, but there weren't many items I was excited about & far too many that I wouldn't use. Ihave taken the day 25 product out of Liberty, sold it & replaced it with something more exciting.
I got a great deal on Anthropologie. For £2 more than the AC I got a £44 Urban Apothecary candle too.

I have the Boots premium and the No 7 Lift and Luminate. I am thinking of doing the No 7 for advent. As it's functional rather than exciting, it seems more appropriate for january.

New thread, excellent!

I'm holding my Looks Fantastic one till actual December. I did just spring for the nail varnish one since I've recently grown my nails (again) after years of biting them and they deserve some nice colours! Also, £19!!!

So I might open that before December!

After giving myself a headache, i've succumbed and purchased the vogue! Still not sure on my choice but I knew I'd be upset if it sold out and the choice was taken from me

i haven’t pulled trigger yet, holding out for the discounts!

Oops! Just ordered the Space NK fragrance 12 day advent calendar. I’m sure it will complement the Harrods make up Advent calendar that’s still in its shipping box (the only way I won’t open it early)

Place marking 🙂. Looking forward to my Vogue Calendar arriving, next week, hopefully!

Also keeping an eye of offers!

I am so excited for those of you who've got Vogue! Looking forward to lurking on that opening thread.

I've still just got F&M. Glad I went for it, even at full price, as it stopped the temptation to get others. I'm hoping for a discount on Harrods or Selfridges (not holding out much hope tbf), but a good discount on John Lewis or Sephora could tempt me. Also maybe Elle.

@Stoic123 thanks for the new thread
I'm keeping my ac till December.
Still very tempted by the Liberty & Vogue ac's

Sorry but not interested in unboxing…i am here for the deals, codes, sales, chat and splurges!

Ha ha - my DS got cross with me last year for being unsure about getting him the Myprotein AC as i said it was expensive & he reminded me of how much I was spending….

Any one tempted with Cultbeauty they have 10% off with ADVENTAFF which brings it down to £202.50 and you get the GWP goody bag as well

I noticed the cult beauty 10% is extended. Hopefully more discount to come, think most are still in stock.

Yeah I’m holding off on CB. I’ll get it if it comes down far enough but 10% isn’t at all tempting.

Remember last year they ended up selling discounted ‘imperfect’ calendars? 😂 Like they were so reluctant to reduce the price they kicked a few about to justify it.

Look Fantastic now seems to be out of stock. Maybe the offer with the beauty chest did the trick for them, though the chest itself is still in stock.

That’s annoying (for me!) about the CB one being discounted. I bought it a few days ago with the Goody Bag and a smaller discount after missing out on Space NK (I was hoping that would be reduced instead). I’ll open CB in December and have LF too which I may keep until
January as it’s such a miserable
month!

I should really concentrate on which ACs to buy for the kids now!

I was tempted by the CB one with the discount, but if you get the discount you don't get the free gift even though the price is still above the threshold!

@Peablockfeathers you are right that is a bit rubbish. The GWP just disappears
