I do believe it's a mid Oct release for HN fragrance

According to Beauty Advent Calendars it launches on 17 October

Anyone else who ordered on 10th still waiting for Space NK?
Has it been on sale in the shops? I thought the pre sales were for on line. If it was actually on sale in the shops, then calling it a pre sale as makes no sense.

Hi @Housewife2010 - yes, it’s been in shops for a while. Until recently there was a search in store button on the page.

I used it to visit the a/c irl last week as there were some in stock not too far away from me.

Don’t understand why the search button has been removed, (unless all in store stock nationwide also sold out - possible I suppose).

I think it will be made for you! It will be out October 17. Scroll down to see the content of the fragrance version

The honey & tobacco one is so interesting but historically I like scents with tabaco on others but I can not handle them myself.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Quidco have an opt in for £30.00 bonus cashback on a £100.00 spend at Selfridges.

Might be good if you are after MAC, Penhaligons, Molton Brown, Sisley, Clarins etc.

I also ordered on September 10th and I’m still waiting for dispatch.

I bought the Boots Ltd Ed 24 Days of Beauty. I thought it was pretty good for £99. There's some make up brands I've wanted to try (Huda and Fenty) and some bits that will work in calendars for DD and DS.

I think this one is better than the 12 day luxury one. Some slightly different products than are making the rounds in the other cheaper calendars.

I agree on that. Other than the Philip Kingsley (yawn) there is a nice spread of brands there.

Being new to this beauty advent calendar lark (I slightly curse ever clicking on these threads 😂) I've not minded the Philip Kingsley stuff as I've never tried it. I am noticing it's ubiquitous nature though so next year it will probably be a turn off.

Space NK usually says 'low stock' on the website for a while before it sells out. Not sure whether or not they did that this time. However, I did get an email a few days ago to say that stock was low.

If it has sold out, then it must be a record this year with two of the main advents (Harrods and Space NK) selling out before we've even reached October!

McArthurGlen Glen outlets are doing a 20% family and friends event (ending today) which brings last years Moulton Brown advent calendar down to £117.60, which I think is an absolute bargain. It’s the 2023 version.

Ashford have run out (I was there yesterday) but I phoned the Cannock outlet store this morning and spoke to two wonderful ladies. Trudy and Judy. They processed my payment over the phone and are sending it out to me for an additional £12 postage, honouring the 20% discount I would get in person. Fantastic customer service.

The East Midlands outlet have stock but don’t offer a postal service (but are going tbe discount if in person) and the Swindon store have stock but were not adding the discount to the advent calendar.
.

Anyone not happy with their Space NK and want to sell it to me I’d be delighted! Just didn’t checkout in time yesterday and now all gone….

This is the same discount that I used on last year’s Penhaligons calendar.

The Penhaligpn’s toy box advent is so beautiful and fabulous value at the price you paid. I’m guessing free delivery too- they are very good like that. I did ring Bicester Molton Brown as well this morning but they didn’t offer the 20% discount. They do have two advents available thought, last years and the 2022 green one. I can’t remember what she said the prices were (maybe 150 for last years and 140 for 2022).

Rituals in Ashford had the 3D Christmas tree with lights advent from a couple of years ago yesterday at (I think) £60- no extra discounts though. I didn’t see any advents in The Body Shop.

Some naughty person linked hourglass palettes on this thread and now I've been forced to spend over £200 on two palettes and a brush

I got the Barneys one which looks beautiful. I think I need to step away from the thread 😂

Any suggestions for some male advents or 12 days ones?
I have looked at Flannels, Liberty and Look Fantastic xx

Rituals?

Niche Beauty advent now on sale. Code “HAPPYYOU” appears to be working for 20% off.

I haven't had a dispatch email yet, but its current status is saying 'dispatched' on the website. Looking at the tracking, I think that what they've done is added a label, and it will likely be collected by RM tomorrow.

Maybe yours is the same?

It was a presale for a couple of days I believe, then went on general sale both online and in store.

Thanks, would prefer multi brand…may make one up with Flannels and a grooming kit but wanted to make sure I hadn’t missed any.

Any offers on hourglass palettes?

I got 10% off my order by signing up as a new customer on hourglass website. They send you a code.

Also, if you order direct from hourglass then you can customise which palette cover you have. I ordered the new medium palette, which is the evil eye cover, but I didn't want that cover, so was able to switch it.
