[Stoic123]

Or will you start opening in November?

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

Continuing the thread.

@YesItIsNovemberAndMyChristmasTreeIsUp I’ve been searching ‘style advent calendar’ and then going on Lives where they seem to do discounts occasionally? But haven’t had much success yet.

@DreamItDoIt its Latest In Beauty/Style, not the Liberty calendar sadly!

Sorry 114.50

Is the Style one the same as the LIB one ? I'm getting confused thinking I'm looking at the wrong one ? It's bright red ?

Latest in Beauty is red. Can't get another code to drop below £98. God I can't work tiktok out!

Haha thanks @Lilothblos, I think I look a bit silly thinking it was Liberty!

Well I first saw it at 116 now it's 122. No codes are coming up for me

Mine has varied from £98 to £122.50 and in between!

Yeah I can’t get this elusive £79 for LIB I am firmly stuck in the £90’s . To be honest I still think that is a bargain!

How to get a group of middle aged women to spend all evening on TikTok!😂

@diamondsandrose yes that’s the one, it’s the same thing - a collab between Style magazine and Latest in Beauty, and it’s red.

@Puravida23 hahah I know, my incompetence at working out how to get vouchers is making me feel so old!

Well I'm stuck in £122.50 with a banner across it saying 'reduced to £125 at checkout'! 😂

It's £98 via the Live Shop and also via the Gemma Collins link, but I can't get any vouchers to add to that price to get it to £76

I've decided tiktok and lib is not for me. They've wasted more than the calendars worth in my time this evening

I'm far too old for this tiktok malarkey 😂

If anyone is after the Perfume shop AC it reduces from £79.99 to £49.99 if you sign up for an account (no subscription cost)

I love tik tok and I'm very middle aged , but I cannot get that thing to reduce and have decided I don't want it anyway !!

But I've just bought coco by Chloe makeup sponges via tik tok shop 😳

Same!

I suspect there are mysterious algorithms at play re. who gets shown the big discounts and who doesn’t. It showed as £122.50 for me and when I tried clicking the measly 9% voucher it said “coupon unavailable”. Or, like Kickstarter, there are limited numbers available at the lower price points after which the price keeps creeping up.

Sorry to have been the cause of some frustration. The £79 LIB price was a very brief offer for me - the price went down to £105 plus further vouchers to get it to £79. But it’s now back at over £100.

The pricing on Tik Tok is ludicrous, and I think LIB are very deliberately trying to build their business among younger customers by offering better deals than on their own site. Pretty alienating for us middle aged folk.

Reading all the TikTok comments made me giggle so much!
It's a different (utterly mad!) world in there. I can't wait for this to be over so that I can close my TikTok account again, like I did last year - hopefully I'll manage to do that at least.
My previous LiB TikTok purchases happened by sheer luck, perseverance and lots of baffled exclamations on my part. No idea what I was doing or how would I do it again.
I can't get the AC to go under £118 and I really mustn't buy it at all. I should not be looking but I can't help myself.

I’m middle aged but love tiktok, we aren’t all the same 💀however i cannot get the big discounts either.

I am a tik tok addict at 48 and so are all my friends

It is amazing for hair / beauty / fashion etc . Lots of fab ideas and people to follow who do amazing skincare routines , Zara hauls , really good makeup tutorials ... I could go on ... it's addictive . It's definitely not just for teens . Lots of interesting stuff going on if you look 👀

My algorithm knows I am an oldie, it serves me so much 90s and 00s nostalgia.

I am such a saddo, I’m waiting with baited breath for some kind of miracle come Black Friday …Vogue is still calling to me. I get the impression BF may be too gauche for Vogue 😂

I watch Vogue beauty tutorials on tik tok ! It has taught me a lot and cost me a lot in skincare but all highly enjoyable and how I relax in bed ( watching them !)

Yes I'm still hoping for a similar miracle re high end advents . Agree maybe Vogue too fancy for BF deals, similar to Adanola who declared it " goes against their values". Dammit I wanted 20% off a hoody and leggings !! Spoil sports

I’ve had a CB email offering £25 off the AC for Black Friday. It’s a no from me.

The TikTok shops show ‘1.4k+’ LiB ACs sold whereas CB has been stuck at just 8 for weeks now.

@Pinenu I think CB are going to have to offer a lot more than £25 to shift their stock, baffles me why they haven’t done so already!

I've just had another look at the LIB and don't think I'm tempted even if it does go lower. I've got too many similar products, and an unused Votary toner and Bum Bum cream already.

Really annoyed I missed the Accessorize calendar which is now back up to full price. I was going to split it between my DDs.
