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

NaP so overpriced even with a discount!! There’s nothing in there I even vaguely want.

Wow that is quite a haul @diamondsandrose . Did you get the books included (Hannah Martin and Lisa Snowden) when you got the 3 OK boxes I am vaguely tempted although not so bothered about the Christmas box

Except the only box I haven't had (the latest) isn't included 😢

Hi , no I got the "ultimate bundle " so just the 3 boxes.
Yes wasn't so mad on the Christmas one either but figured I'll gift what I'm not keen on. It's got a very expensive cream in it though that was worth more than the whole box so that will be fun to try.

@Puravida23 sorry I meant the big 3 bundle , just checked.

The ultimate bundle is £299 and I was a bit tempted then got a grip of myself , it's an amazing bargain though !

The Hannah /Lisa ones would make lovely Christmas gifts

Thanks @diamondsandrose I am tempted just not sure if my DH will divorce me if the doorbell rings again with another parcel!
I have been trying to time them for days DH is at work but Royal Mail obviously hasn’t had that memo

That excuse from Glossybox is rubbish as I ordered mine on the 13th of November and received it 2 days later. Their customer service is awful - they charged me for a months subscription even though I had cancelled it. And it has taken me 6 weeks and more than 20 messages to them to get them to refund me. Had to go via their Insta page in the end

no more deals come through yet? @diamondsandrose that is a good haul indeed,

The “Latest in Beauty” box (worth £700) has been dropped to £125 from £175

I can honestly say I would use about half a dozen of the items and the rest would be gifted/left in a drawer unused. So not quite worth it, less than £100 and Im in!

@Puravida23 opt for ‘leave in a safe space’ and problem solved 😄

Shop away!

I am not wowed by the contents of that LIB calendar at all so won’t be tempted to purchase that one.

I don't think the LiB is so bad. I'm tempted to buy it for my sister who has been a godsend to me this year (and every year). It would be right up her street. I usually buy her a candle but feel a bit sock (geddit?) buying her yet another Christmas themed candle for the millionth year.

Aw shit. Auto correct turned wick into sock and ruined my joke.😭😭

I am surprised Sephora isn’t offering a Black Friday discount on their calendar seen as they still have stock. Maybe there will be more offers tomorrow but I am doubtful.

😂
It is just that the bits don’t tempt me (which is a good thing) but it is clearly popular on here. I have the John Lewis calendar which a lot aren’t impressed with this year.

Yes surprised at Sephora not discounting and Cult beauty only £25.

I think I am happy with my lot after my bridal beauty purchase but if there is an ( unlikely ) mega bargain I know I'll cave!!

So what ! Beauty products are my weakness / hobby / cheer me up / make me feel good.
I barely drink ( thanks perimenopause ) don't smoke and don't gamble 😆

@pinkchampagne1 I had John Lewis last year and it was my favourite out of Liberty, Space NK and CB. I loved how it smelled as soon as I opened the doors. I love that. The smell of advent calendar.👃

JL does that so well.

Me neither

Hello! Just marking my place so I can bargain spot!

The Space NK fragrance one was reduced this morning, with a further 10% off for ndulge members.

@Couperi how do you get the extra 10% please?

I'm so hoping Vogue gets discounted... It's the only calendar I've seen where I want almost all the bits! But £350 is a bit too pricey, IMO.

Ice just bought it thanks to you!🙈😘

I'VE!!

I have fat fingers tonight.
