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.

@Housewife2010 I like your style on the Dec 25 item in Liberty! I have Liberty too but that's all.

Well so far.

Well I do have a fab bargainous Aurelia boxette that arrived today, plus that amazing Boots Beauty heroes box and oh yes the Flannels perfume cracker....

And I have filled the 2021 F&M box (toooo pretty to sell) with some random items from my stash (DD was at once baffled and amused) - long enough ago that I have forgotten what!

Thanks @Dee1224 and @monpetitlapin - I'll take a look

I don't use nail polish very often, but I do like to put it on my toes in the summer. One bottle would probably last me 10 years given how often I use it 😂

Hi all, can I join , I’ve had the Molton Brown AC and also the Loccitane one over the last fews years, this year I was hoping to get the Elemis one but it’s sold out! I have got the M&S one ( and a foodie one to share with hubby) but I can’t believe how quick Elemis sold out! Not sure if to get another one or just settle with M&S!

Also what does GWP stand for ( I’m not quite sure of the lingo yet 😆)…

Hi, @Ineedwinenow GWP = gift with purchase.

Ahh, Thank you!! I was trying to figure out what you were all saying but couldn’t for the life of me figure it out!!

Got the Ciate one, thanks for the recommendation, it's a bargain. Not sure if I will keep it or use it as a gift - my niece would appreciate it I think.

Thanks for sharing

I've still bought the nail calendar though, my mum will appreciate it

I went for the nail varnishes too. Thank you for sharing.

I have lots of reds from ACs and kits but not much else. In fact, I bought a tiny nude the other week and paid £10 for it so this calendar is incredible value.

I have buyers remorse with M&S. I’m not excited by it so it feels a bit wasteful.

Have been lurking on all of the threads so far after finding the JL unboxing thread last year waaaay too late! I have LF and Next (although I'm cross that I ordered LF early and missed the beauty chest) and have bought M&S for my sister as a treat. She never has time for herself at all with 3 under 8 and working full time plus tutoring so hopefully she'll enjoy it. I've made DH promise not to let me anywhere near them until 1st December though!!!! If there's any bargains nearer the time I might pick up something else for January - completely new concept for me but it's so gloomy, it's a genius idea

I do too - I read the reviews on the website which are mostly not great. Ah well

I bought DD the Superdrug Revolution calendar as a Christmas present last night which currently has an extra £10 off. Looks like great value for the price (plus Superdrug do student discount!)

Looks like M and S have sold out on line. Saw it in store yesterday and dithered and didn’t buy. Haven’t bought any and not sure I will now. Hoping for a good gwp to just fill an old F and M box.

please can anyone tell me what the Clinique lipstick colour is that came with the M and S advent? Thanks

I noticed a Debenhams perfume box yesterday on the beauty advent calendar site for £20. The link doesn't work and it doesn't look like it's available on the website so it's probably sold out. Did anyone manage to get it?

@LoveLabradors still loads of stock of the advent online if anyone fancies it

Just watched an unboxing of the M&S and the lipstick is a nude shade apparently

Thanks both.

Thanks for the new thread @Stoic123

I've yet to succumb to a calendar but did the Liberty autumn GWP and the Boots Beauty Box so plan to use those to fill an old calendar + some for the DDs, unless some amazing offer appears in the next few weeks.

I only paint my nails about once a year but couldn’t resist this as such a good bargain!! And brings me up to three calendars with Milton Brown due today and H&B already arrived. I might use one for my first ever Jadvent!!

I wish some of the companies would crack before BF and reduce to get them sold

Harvey Nicks has 15% off it’s Advents for its reward members apparently I am not one so can’t check if this is true but worth checking out if you are interested

@BadgerFace woo hoo! 💅🏻 You'll be painting them more than once a year now. And I think you're the only other Molton Brown person I've seen on here! I have one too 🤩

I’ve never had one of these beauty advents before but after I found this thread I treated myself to the John Lewis one for my birthday a week ago and I’m loving it!! So now I’m hooked…..DH has amazingly heard my very unsubtle hints and ordered me the Liberty one for Christmas, just after I’d splurged on the M&S one! So I’m feeling very lucky…..

If anyone is interested, M&S accept advent calendar returns.

(unopened of course)

@Pinenu Does that mean you ended up returning it?
