Just having a look at possible new offerings and Sniph is doing a 12 days fragrance calendar. I'm quite exciting at that as they have some really interesting scents, and I still regret not getting a calendar the last time they did one (I think it would have been my fourth that year and I had to draw a line!).

That's interesting @Doubleraspberry thanks for sharing.

I'm embarrassed to admit I've just looked through my stash to see what I can put on Vinted. After being disappointed in a lack of AA bath oils this year in calendars I've just found TWO upstairs 🫣

I've had Jo Malone twice and Jo Loves once and I've been really happy each time. The only reason I'm not getting one of them this year is because I've still got quite a few of the little bottles left and they don't have many new fragrances, but I will get one of them next year. Someone on this thread mentioned that they had seen last year's Penhaligons advent calendar in the outlet store for £195, so I've bought that instead this year.

I decided on Jo Malone and it arrived today! I still have lots of beauty items in my stash and every year I wish I had bought it.

My space nk advent calendar has been dispatched!

The problem with perfume advents is that I end up wanting few full size. I used 3 of the last years Jo Malone advent and I am tempted to get 30ml of the limited edition as soon as they come out

Thanks to whoever posted the info on cult beauty skintellectual edit - I ordered it as it looks great.

Anyone who ordered the Space NK on the 10th still waiting? I've chased them a few times and they have kept promising that it will be despatched on 24th - today. They won't explain why they are not being sent out in order number.

I ordered before 10am on 10th and still not had a dispatch note. I used some Ndulge credit towards the purchase and starting to wonder if that's affected my order....

I'm still waiting for SpaceNK, ordered on the 12th. It had better be good...

Hope yours arrives today Housewife2010 and Theresalotgoingon.

I ordered on 10th and it’s still not been despatched

I ordered Space NK on the 10th and it's not been dispatched yet, but they did say the 24th and it is only 10am. I'd assume it'll be by the end of day, I'm not worried yet.

Im seriously coveting the Sunday Riley kit but going to see if it ones down in price first ... I used Good Genes last night and my skin looks and feel amazing 🤩

Add some of the Sunday riley kits to your wishlist on asos as they often end up on the general discount codes, I have had some good bargains!
Also on QVC too 😊

That SR set looks good @tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz - very tempted!

Feeling jealous of those of you with the Jo Malone and SpaceNK calendars. I am still frantically using up my extensive stash to try to justify buying an a/c!

Speaking of a/cs, I thought this was cute if any of you have suitably aged kids for whom it might be of interest:

I have taken my delayed Space NK as a blessing in disguise, I made a list of everything I have and have ordered and worked out I only needed a few things from it so cancelled my order and picked up the bits I wanted off Vinted. Also ordered the Cult Beauty edit yesterday and will hopefully get one of the Bridal Beauty charity mystery bags when they are available.

@ilovepond There's no real justification for me buying advent calendars (or the CB skintellectual edit!) but I like to tell myself there are worse crimes! Always saying in my head "well, I've not killed anyone" which is admittedly a very low bar. 😉

😹😹😹@TreesinthePark

Although, if you had killed someone, this would at least ensure you looked your best for the trial?? 😉

Come on @TreesinthePark you've got plenty of time to do good works the rest of the year 😂 whilst also looking fabulous!

@tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz Sunday reily good genes is brilliant stuff I love it. I use medik8 for other things and tried their sleep glycolic acid and I hated it it didn’t compare whereas when I use good genes my skin glows.

on a side note RE Sunday Riley does anyone know with the Luna oil, could I use it like so after my normal regional then night cream, luna over the top even though it has retional in it too? X

I’ve got some of the Medik8 glycolic and you’re right it’s not as good as SR. I’ve been trying to use it up before opening my Good Genes. I’m also not keen on their Retinol, prefer SR too for this, but slogging away trying to finish it up..I may have to just get rid of them, but I end up feeling guilty so I just try to persevere!

I’ve just bought that. The products are lovely.

Solo are you on the Olio app? If I'm not feeling a product anymore, have one in the wings I'm chomping at the bit to use and feel ok about the £ I often list it there and state honestly how much is left ... the product gets snapped up very quickly! Helps it's a freebie so users love it

Oooh Apple lovely!
