Beauty Advent Calendars 2023 Part E - Last Buying Thread Till Doors Open

694 replies

Stoic123 · 22/11/2023 20:57

Roll up, roll up for bargain spotting and anticipation.

This is a thread to discuss the buying of beauty calendars and not the opening of them. There may be general discussion about contents of a calendar but please do not share information about what is behind a specific door you've opened. Thank you

haha @Puravida23 yes I wish my DH would buy me an AC. Oooooh especially the Vogue lol. As if.

elbom12 · 26/11/2023 23:57

Thanks for your replies. I didn't know that Harvey nichols was sold out. Just ordered Vogue for her. Hope she will like it. Thank you for your advice

Lilothblos · 27/11/2023 06:53

Wow looks like CB might have actually sold out?!

KevinDeBrioche · 27/11/2023 08:04

I don’t believe for ONE SECOND CB has sold out, they’ve just removed it from sale imo

Lovethatforyouhun · 27/11/2023 08:07

Interesting….

pinkchampagne1 · 27/11/2023 08:10

I didn’t think CB would sell out without a further reduction.
Is it just Vogue and the 12 day calendars left now?

You never know....people who didn't have one who were waiting for BF had few options left so might have gone for it.

Next is still available at £80

Pinenu · 27/11/2023 09:16

I don’t believe CB sold out, even with last minute buyers.

Perhaps they’ll do numerous ‘restocks’ like previous years with ‘damaged’ ACs at a discount.

It’s all getting a bit silly. Just do better and it’ll genuinely sell out.

Puravida23 · 27/11/2023 09:27

I can still get Cult Beauty on TikTok at £205 although that price will move depending on coupons .
Only 14 have been sold on TikTok!

testedorgan · 27/11/2023 09:29

Elle is still in stock.

Puravida23 · 27/11/2023 09:30

Also Latest in Beauty seems to be back on sale on their website. They have a sale on all their collections

MalibuBetty · 27/11/2023 10:06

My Stylevana calendar randomly showed up after.

Peridot1 · 27/11/2023 10:17

That’s good @MalibuBetty. I was pretty tempted by that one.

shinny · 27/11/2023 10:27

I completely missed the Next one but it looks good. Still needs discounting!
CB are mad not to lower the price. I keep checking Fenwick too. Maybe this week they’ll review stocks and decide.

SmellNice · 27/11/2023 10:52

Wrong thread sorry

Stoic123 · 27/11/2023 12:48

Sarah Jossel Edit on LIB now looks good at £52. I really want to get my stash down so will resist.

The only one I’m really keeping an eye on now is Space NK fragrance. NAP would have to be really reduced, I use Sarah Chapman and I like the look of the earrings and gloves but not enough to pay anything like it’s current price.

TragicMuse · 27/11/2023 16:20

I'm SO looking forward to Friday now! I have the bargainous Ciate and the Looks Fantastic one.

And lots of nice things left over from the Sarah Jossel LiB edit and the LF beauty vault. I've done some distribution to the stockings but have some treasures left!

MidnightMeltdown · 27/11/2023 18:50

I think that Elle has actually sold out now

Next has been discounted from £95 to £80.

Ilikeyoursleeves · 27/11/2023 20:48

The Next AC looks pretty good actually! I missed that too! But do I need it?!!!! I already have two AC's for Dec and opened my nail polish one in November!

BaconAndAvocado · 27/11/2023 21:31

I have Next, LookFantastic and M and S.

Are people with multiple ACs opening the lot in December or saving one till the bleakness of January?

DD suggested I could have one for Christmas Day and open the whole thing.

Ilikeyoursleeves · 27/11/2023 21:40

I'm so tempted to buy Next now.

Will I??!
Will I?

I'd save it either for Xmas day or January

Dee1224 · 27/11/2023 21:45

Hi, the small L’occitaine calendar is reduced to £46.50 on the All beauty site.
