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

@Emmmmz9 thank you for sharing that.
So a few of us in the same boat looking at the comments on here.
I've sent an email tonight asking for an update. Let's see. I actually wrote a new one as opposed to reply from my dispatch emailAnd it didn't bounce back this time.
I feel a bit bad because it's not a super urgent product and the money go to charity. As long as it's not lost. I'm confident it will be a good box, I always like them.

Just laid out my advent stash on the kitchen island for tomorrow.

We have a total of

DH Ferrero Rocher fancy one

DS16 Lindt big teddy fancy one

DD18 Lindt small teddy plus Glossybox

Me Clarins 24 day plus " for the house" a dupe Yankee tea light one (3.49 at Home Bargains ) got my mum one of them too and she is excited . Got her a wee Christmas tea light holder too

So I think we are ready !

I have £100 bridal beauty box AND Lisa snowdon OK box AND my clarins GWP which ended up being 12 good size products , to use as a Twixmas/Jadvent/Febvent onwards lucky dips to cheer up hideous dreary mornings after Xmas.

This thread has been lovely. Maybe see you on waifs with my Clarins and to report what DD got in Glossybox .

Enjoy your advents everybody !!! ❤️

I've mostly been following and have enjoyed reading about all your AC journeys so far.

Just put all our stuff out. We have the M&S beauty AC, the White Stuff Socks x 2 (going to alternate days whereby me and DD open one and wear that pair that day) Also got a crystal one, two chocolate ones, two that we fill ourselves and a random pokemon! (Along with an old fashioned glitter 'pictures behind doors' OG AC)

I'll be following on the waifs and strays thread.

Hope the BB stuff turns up for those waiting ASAP.

Holly! What are we doing?! Where are we going? Is there a Vogue thread??? I’m so excited!

thanks @Stoic123 this thread has been a pleasure

@Ilikeyoursleeves DH is away and I don't think I can lift the enormous Degusta box so will have to wait till tomorrow evening when he gets back!

Thanks for the thread @Stoic123 and all contributors. I've filled last year's Liberty & JL with goodies for the DDs which they're very excited about.

@Stokey lol yes it's soooo huge and heavy! And it's hard to find where to put it, I ended up putting on the windowsill as it would take up the entire kitchen worktop lol

Was there a recent LF bargain box. I’m sure I seen one that looked amazing around £25cant see it now

I can’t believe it’s tomorrow either. Thanks for these threads @Stoic123. They have been lovely.

Even though I don’t have a beauty advent I will enjoy my jam and jigsaw ones. And I’m almost at the end of a few products so can shop my stash for some ‘new’ things to open.

i hope you all really enjoy your calendars and I’m looking forward to seeing what you all get. Especially the Vogue one!

Thank you @Stoic123 for initiating this thread way back in the summer . It has been great sharing this decision making experience with you all
Looking forward to tomorrow onwards when we finally get to unbox our spoils.
Let the countdown commence!

Is there an M&S opening thread? There must be, but I can't find it!

Watching and waiting. I thought it was just me as u couldn't find anything. (I'm staying up till midnight just to see what the first Sparks offer is)

Is there a Liberty one for 2023? There were quite a lot of us on it last year

Someone has to start it 😁

Loads of people seem to have it so you should definitely get a quorum if you start it.

Oh weird that there isn't one! I'll happily start it!

Ok done, I'm on the app so can't link but you should be able to find it now!

Oh thanks Tokyo I came here to find where the M&S opening one was!

Yay!

I've just posted a vogue one!

Thanks for these threads @Stoic123 and thanks to all posters - I have enjoyed reading them.

Agree with others thanks so much everyone and esp @Stoic123 for all the AC support.

I have put Liberty by my bed, my homemade F&M is in the back of our room.

The Degustabox (nominally DH's) is downstairs
DS2 has a Cadbury choc one (fancy one) that I have been toting about in my car for 10 days in the hope of giving it to him (he is at uni but I am droipping in on him tomorrow).
DD has a Lindt one with a big teddy behind his house door; she will be too attached to him to eat him (she is 22!)
DS1 has a Pokemon one with cards and all sorts. Was good last year.

Excited!!

Turns out I have an Anthropologie calendar so not entirely successful in shedding the beauty products this year. I assume I’m a Waif and Stray!

If anyone feels they missed out on M&S the Calendar appears available online for £45 today

Thank you @Stoic123 and everybody for a wonderful few weeks.
Happy opening everybody
