Beauty advent calendars 2024 #2

[virgocatlover]

With just under 3 months to go until 1 December, there are some big decisions to be made! Thread to discuss advent calendars while we wait for more content revelations and release dates.

Thread 1 - https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/styleandd_beauty/5108657-beauty-advent-calendars-2024

MacMillan at Boots is down to £44 now if anyone had that in mind. I was thinking about it for DD but it's too Liz Earle-y for a teen now I look again.

So pleased you’ve ordered it! I haven’t had my waitlist email so looks like I’ll have to wait until Thursday.

Enjoy the wedding!

Ordered the space NK thanks to a poster who shared the early access link. I know it's a small thing but I'm rather annoyed at being charged £4 for standard delivery on a £250 order - usually it's free delivery over £25 so don't know if this is just what they are doing on the AC but I suppose I'll get a load of Ndulge points to balance it out.

I've ordered mine and was also annoyed to be charged delivery especially as I pay the annual fee for next day delivery. I understand it can't be next day delivery but annoyed at being charged.

The site was very slow and wouldn't accept a MasterCard payment, had to use my visa instead.

I've ordered SpaceNK and had to pay the £4 too - it was making me think twice! My boyfriend always laughs at how cheap I can be with certain things considering the amount I spend on beauty 😅

SpaceNK has a really good offering in my opinion and I didn't want to miss out.
Hopefully that's my last advent this year unless there are some crazy bargains! I'm also intrigued by Hannah Martins OK edit and also Sali Hughes CB edit - both soon to be released.

I'm planning on phoning customer services later and seeing if they can refund the delivery charge - their delivery info says free after £25 and free priority after £75 so I'll see if I can get the charge removed and / or upgrade to priority and report back.

Ordered mine…also charged delivery, a bit annoying really..tried to be non judgmental and thought it must cost a lot to ship as it’s heavy..then thought nah, still miffed! 😁

Does anyone know if Beauty Bay are going to do any restock of theirs? Stupidly dithered the other day as was looking and it's now out of stock.

Managed to order the Space NK. Am very annoyed that there was a £4 delivery charge 😂 How rude to add that on!

No space nk email here despite being an indulge member and signing up as soon as I got the email

I hope it's not sold out before Thursday !

They shouldn’t add a delivery charge when you are spending £250. There was no delivery charge with the Harrods calendar.

Happy to share my 10am link via DM with anyone that wants it.

Yes please!x

I've bought the LF one this year , it looks good.

I LOVED Look Fantastic last year, sadly this year I already own a lot of the contents including the big one one day 25 so it wasn’t worth it for me this time.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did last Christmas!

Done!

Escentual have a few advent calendars - Nuxe, L'Occitane and Bare Minerals. They've got 25% off at the moment

You’ve reminded me that I got Bare Minerals a couple of years ago for a freakishly low sum owing to a pricing error and then moved house, so it’s still untouched in a box somewhere.

i actually ended up getting the Harrods one - I think it's a better deal than the Space NK one

Wow, I can't believe they're charging delivery on top!

Hello! Joining this thread as I’m wavering about buying space nk and wondering for those of you who sell unwanted items how/where you do it? On eBay? And how much do you price the items for? Do you make clear when you’re selling that it’s come from
a calendar? TIA!

I also can’t believe that Space NK are charging for delivery.

I’m going to leave mine in my basket and think about it. If it’s gone, it’s gone. I’ll just go for another one then.

Ebay - I just filter by price on buy it now and ensure I'm the cheapest.
I don't say where it has come from on the listing but would disclose to potential buyer if asked

So you just say on the listing that it’s new and unopened? Have never bought beauty second hand, it’s a whole new world! Thanks so much
