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

@FinallyFinalGirl how much did you pay for it?

I have John Lewis too (among others 😱). I think it looks really good.

EXTRA10

Ha hope you enjoy!

Haven’t noticed any more reductions this morning

£125 using my Rewards points. I also added Sisley Exfoliating Enzyme Mask as I LOVE that. Makes skin as soft as silk.

Not seen much either 😭

For anyone hoping for the lib calendar to drop below 100 on tiktok shop. It has for the first time for me but only when I go to checkout, before that it says £122 which all week I assumed was the actual price. So click through to checkout to get the discount to show. I'm not sure whether to go for it though. I would use quite a lot of the products but I have the boots beauty box and m&s calendar so have plenty to be getting on with

It's disappeared again. I think that's made my mind up. Tiktok shop is very random.

Well that’s a very disappointing start to Black Friday, all offers seem to exclude ACs.

Do we think the likes of CB, Sephora and Liberty will wait until 1st December to discount or will they just remove the ACs from sale altogether?

It’s another strange year in AC world.

Has Sephora sold out? Showing as unavailable for me

I’m not tempted to budge on Liberty or CB unless they discount more. Be interested to see if they do.

Has anyone got the Decleor advent calendar? I have - can[´t wait to see whats inside!

Latest in Beauty £76.50 on TikTok with discount code. Thought about it but gave it a miss. Find TikTok very confusing 😂.

Bridal Beauty Mystery Box still showing as available.
On one hand I'm happy because others have the opportunity to purchase.
On the other hand I'm wondering if they put loads of random boxes together without the usual consideration, so although the RRP value might be true, the products might not be as interesting, or lots of low value stuff as opposed to the usual prevalence of premium expensive items.
The exclusivity, running out of stock quickly is not happening as fast as I expected. I know it's only been out 1 day, but they usually sell out really fast.
I'm slightly annoyed they have free delivery today and I missed out on that.

I've seen that Jo Malone is sold out on line. I'm fairly sure that my husband has bought it for my birthday and xmas present, but I must confess that I had a little look to see if I could find it when he was out the other day and couldn't see it. I will be so disappointed if he hasn't bought it. 😟 But at least I've got my harrods fragrance and Liberty. And M&S.

I think I have to accept tiktok isn't going to give me a bigger discount on lib. Worrying I've started watching the videos on it, I'd intended on uninstalling after my failed purchase

@Possimpible think you might be right, if I go back to the link you can’t seem to add to basket so I’m guessing it’s sold out?

I think Elle has sold out too. I think all in a disappointing year for discounts. The question now is will Cult Beauty crack and reduce their advent!

Same for me @Couperi - it's not going below £116. I don't understand how TikTok works and decides who is worthy of a discount but I'm not buying it at that when others are getting it at £98 or lower! I do have another calendar anyway.

@DreamItDoIt lowest I got was £98, and tbh I'd sell quite a few of the items so probably saving me the hassle of that!

@Branster BB did say that they had made twice as many as usual, as they sold out within hours the last time. I've not bought, as I already have too much from their previous Mystery boxes. The extra 'named' gifts didn't grab me this time, although overall, I know they are always great value. Neom candles or magnesium body butter has swung it for me in the past. I'm still hoping they may have a different offer coming up. Think I'm just getting too picky.

@Couperi did you get the EXTRA10 code to work on SpaceNK? I can’t get it to work, despite being signed in. Is it for higher tier Ndulge members only?

I found that buying 2 beauty boxes in a row - even from separate drops increases the chances of getting duplicates, which is great if it's something you love . Strivectin moisturiser for example - squeee ! Tanning stuff ? Meh.
I wonder what the full size elemis is. Beauty balm ?

Apologies. I'm talking about the Bridal beauty boxes.
