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

[Stoic123]

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

@MidnightMeltdown Wow that is a lot!! Can’t believe you’re opening them all at once 😂.
I could still be tempted if there any more good discounts, but not much left.

I’m amazed Fenwicks sold out at full price /10% off as there were loads in the shop on Sunday. People are now panic buying, so they don’t end up with nothing.

Luckily, I didn’t realise they were usually reduced and have paid full price every year. This thread has definitely given me some ideas for next year though🙂.

You’re gonna have to get up super early to open all those lovely ACs and comment on all the threads and use each product !!! Jealous much!!

I'm now trying to stop myself buying the Next one. I didn't seem to notice this one before but it does look decent. Maybe if it drops down in price again. I have m&s advent and the boots awards box that my dh has instructions to give me on my birthday on Christmas eve!

Oh hell, now I want the Lumene. I love their products.

@ACAC2023 I'm not opening them all at once, I've got Stylevana for Jadvent 😂.

Or it may be Feb or Marchvent. Or maybe I will just keep it and open a door every time I get the urge to buy something new!!

@shinny oh I'm definitely an evening advent calendar opener. I like to sit down with a glass on mulled wine and open my calendars

There will be some empty drawers in my advents. I took all the AB creams out and got almost £100 back on eBay!

Ive opened my bridal beauty box and love everything in it, some will go for presents and some I will keep for me.

I was going to say that Vinted/eBay will be about 50% Bader cream, especially given the multiple calendar owners, and then @MidnightMeltdown proved my point!

Did you receive the £100 mystery box that came in stock last week (the one with REN kit)?
I ordered mine as soon as it launched last Thursday morning, it said dispatched Monday PM Royal Mail 48h service (no idea why it took so long to dispatch, especially as I'm still annoyed I rushed and missed the free postage offer). Not received yet and no updates on Royal Mail tracking page.
I'd want it before the 1st Dec so it can go in my pretend AC, which will be a lucky dip of this box and the previous mystery box with the Jurlique (I think) AC.

@Branster same here. I contacted the company and 48 parcel stuck in Royal Mail depot. Should be released tomorrow 🙏🙏

@coffeestrongblacknosugar oooh, which bridal beauty box did you get?

Royal Mail do not understand the seriousness of the situation!
As long as they don't loose these packages, we should survive.

@Doubleraspberry yeah, that's why I thought that I'd palm them off straight away - before the market became saturated 😂

Thank you for this thread, it’s been really lovely hanging out with you lot. I’m another one that hadn’t updated their make up bag for about thirty years but now thanks to your positive influence has somehow ended up with three advent calendars and a beauty box! Not sure how you’ve bashed my bank balance so effectively but if you were on commission you’d never have to worry about how to pay for the next serum again!

😂😂😂😂

Gosh - not just dipping a tentative toe in then. Hope you enjoy them!

Since hanging out in Style & Beauty, my bank balance has depleted- but my skin is lovely 😀

This has been the loveliest series of threads

I echo this! I only started on these threads last year (alongside the Christmas bargains thread which I’d been on for 10 years) and I am SO excited about the three advent calendars I have for me. Well 2 of them as I don’t really wear nail polish but couldn’t resist Ciate at £19… 😂

I spend so much time planning for the children (who both have 1st week of January birthdays to add to the mix) from October onwards that it’s nice to indulge myself as well.

I am seriously sitting on my hands on the Lumene AC as it’s a brand I’d like to try, it’s in my basket ready to go but do we think it might go lower than the 30% off come 1 December??

I also haven't recorded the bridal beauty mystery box, I ordered last Friday.. waiting patiently.. hope it's here soon as I can't wait to see what's inside!

@Emmmmz9 @Branster yes it was the £100 mystery box with the ren items. Ive only had a Quick Look at it all but it is worth every penny!

Next has dropped to £80 again and I've just bought it. You are all very bad influences... I'm not to blame at all :D

One day to go! I’m doing Liberty up to Christmas and then have space nk for jadvent to brighten up a dark month.

I have also just bought it.

I’ve mostly been an observer rather than participant but have loved this thread, thank you so much all. I will try to join in more on the unboxing.
i have M&S and Glossybox - thinking of saving one for the genius idea of Jadvent which id never heard of! - but not sure I have the willpower

Showing as out of stock for me. Is that right?

Sorry this is the bridal beauty box I’m referring to.
