I see Christian Louboutin has released another advent of perfume minis and charms for the bargain price of £525.

Just logged in to my Space NK account & delivery is now expected from 4 October. They haven’t even sent an email to explain why ☹️

That's rubbish.

They must have known they'd have a ton of sales after it was released

So in order to make room for my 2 calendars I am on a mission to use up 25 products before the end of the year. I’ve managed 6 so far.

Anyone care to join me? Any products count, even if sample size, as long as it’s something you’d expect to get in a Beauty Advent (so no toothpaste, deodorant, miniature funnels or glitter - IYKYK).

Excellent idea @chloechloe and I am definitely in, I could do with some mindful self care.

I delved into the Vinted make up area ..

Has anyone had any luck selling bits ..,or is it more hassle than it's worth ?

I have got some pallets from a rash but in the summer that I don't know what to do with !

At last! I'm so pleased for you.

Yes, I sell on Ebay and have probably sold about 50 items by now - I'm on my 4th AC

Where do you register interest please? I’m so annoyed with myself that I didn’t buy it when I had the chance!! I really didn’t expect it to see out online so quickly! x

@chchloechloe yes, that's a great idea! Does palming things off on your preteen son count as using them up?? Asking for a friend...

Congrats on your calendar @Isabelle70 !

@chloechloe - I agree that’s a good idea.I have a bad habit of buying my ‘usual’ stuff rather than using my lovely advent goodies - goodness knows what I am saving them for. I mentioned previously that I have belatedly started using up my nice shower/body products - apparently keeping them in the bathroom helps with this - who knew?😹

Same for me. Not sure why I bothered ordering at 8am on 10 September. Doesn’t seem to make any difference to the dispatch time. They also charged me for delivery.

Same for me. I wonder what the issue is? The original dispatch date said September 20th.

I don’t think I’ll get too excited about it until it actually arrives

Has anyone received their Flannels fragrance crackers yet? Ordered mine last month I believe and not had an update yet.

I am quite glad I didn’t order SpaceNK - even though it’s by far my favourite of this year’s offerings - I have stash shame and really shouldn’t buy anything else!

Having said that: I keep putting the L’Occitane calendar in my basket on the Escentuals site!

Just a reminder: ESCENTUALS 25 ends tomorrow and and they have the Clarins men’s calendar as well as their 12 day one.

On a related note: Looking at the 12 day Clarins calendar, I could swear the products are exactly the same as last year’s. I was new to Clarins’ products last year and was keen to try them, but tbh, I was not that impressed. I love the flash beauty balm and have repurchased, but the lip oils do nothing for me, though people rave about them.

There's time @IlovePond .... Space NK is still available .....

@Couperi I think Flannels are sending the crackers early Oct

😹@MidnightMeltdown - I am definitely weakening…

Yes my space nk date has changed too until like 6 October. It’s ruined my plan of taking the 4 DODs and putting together for
my niece for Christmas (she’s going back to Oz) and then getting to buy myself 4 drawers worth off eBay and putting it away til dec. now she’ll be gone before it comes and I’ll have to buy her stuff so doesn’t seem like such a good idea buying more stuff on top of £250 calander whereas I justified it before because I didn’t need spend £80-£100 getting her sorted x

By the way she would have loved the stuff I don’t want lol I wasn’t just flogging it to her to make my calander extra special which it kind of reads like I was 😂

The correct code is: ESCENTUAL25 🙈

I’m doing the same! My face, body, lips and hands have never been so pampered!

Good idea, I think so!

what code is this please? I’ve been looking for one!

My SpaceNK calendar was delivered last week but according to their tracking is awaiting dispatch and due 4th October too, so I think they may be having a meltdown! Hoping it’s not another Harrods fragrance situation brewing….
