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

@Fairyliz no more kids here! Didn't realise I had written that! I am opening the famous Cowshed from last year and just opened the serum/nail file day. The advent is beautifully presented and not too big but hit and miss. Very glad not to just get a nail file!!!

@Twinsandsome this is the £100 box missing the following:

full size shampoo and conditioner (both in the shower)
REN kit with 3 products (in the bathroom)
mini Penhaligon's candle (DD took it)
full size Photo Face primer (DD took this as well)
there was also an MZ Skin pack of bright gold eye mask (1 use) buy I have no idea where it's gone

And this is the list of contents from mystery festival bag I got back in the autumn - that was £30

I don't think I'll manage to write a list for the £200 advent mystery box as I use it as a lucky dip advent and I'm most likely to forget to keep track

Sorry, it didn't attach earlier

Thanks to everyone who has posted the £50 BB details - I am sort of wishing I had taken a chance now🙃- they look good!

I have the 12 day perfume advent from Space Nk this year. not sure if there is perfume advent thread! I have smelled few of the items and wills tart opening one daily next Tuesday on 12th.

I assumed there would be an opening thread for the 12 days of Christmas calendars from the 25th?

Day 5 LIB this is a door I changed.

Wrong thread 🙈

Flannels cracker appears to be back in stock and reduced to £139 plus postage if anyone is interested. I think it’s pretty good value at that price.

@AprilLady thank you for this!

@Fairyliz having just paid his uni fees, I’m happy to sell the kid!

I was waiting with great anticipation Bridal Beauty Christmas Kits launch. It was meant to be yesterday, then it moved to this morning.
I still haven't received an email about this (some offer was meant to be included, no idea what).
But I've been checking their Instagram.
A bit of a letdown because what they are showing on Instagram are not new kits. I've already seen them on their website prior to today and they include items I've already got through previous mystery purchases.
I think it's time I close this Instagram account and TikTok. Only set them up for AC deals but I don't really know how to use them and haven't found the deal of the century as I was hoping to.

Feeling exactly the same! Was all excited and then totally deflated when they are the kits I saw yesterday!!
Their post mentioned a GWP too but no mention of this on the website. Very disappointing

@Branster ??!!!

@Emmmmz9 thank you
See what I mean, no idea how to use this Instagram malarkey!!!
Email eventually came through with the offer...
Not persuaded this time. I think the early morning disappointment has taken hold.

In my email it say free gift for orders of £30 or more for those interested in this.

Had the Bridal Beauty email - looks a good offer

I have now bought the now-discounted wine advent calendar from John Lewis, figured, why not?! 😅

CT back in stock with 20%off using code REDCARPET

I was tempted by this last night! Looks like the more expensive one has now sold out

OMG now I’m looking at the fizz one and the wine one wondering if I should get one. They look so fun!

You are a bad influence. Going to split mine up and use as stocking fillers/combine with biscuits as token gifts for neighbours/colleagues, and keep remainder for emergencies of whatever variety!
