Beauty advent calendars 2024 #4

[virgocatlover]

We still have 2 months to go so there's still time for dilemmas, decisions and discounts.

We have a few coming out this week including John Lewis, OK and No7. I'm still WAC (without advent calendar) but that may soon change!

Does anyone know of any discount codes for Flannels? I am tempted with the cracker as would like to try some of the perfumes and can’t seee any on eBay/Vinted.

@MrsBnow12 Do you mean the fragrance crackers? If so I don’t think they have been released yet . I had an email saying delivery sometime after the 11th October which is probably why they are not on eBay/vinted yet
Dont know of any codes but they had a good black Friday deal of 20% last year so if you can wait and don’t mind risking them selling out they might do the same this year

@Puravida23 sorry I meant the beauty cracker, I watched an unboxing and I normally like the same perfumes and she loved them all so I am now considering it.

I have had the beauty cracker, it is pretty good value for money and not too many minis.
I think the ACs with loads of minis are going to find it hard to sell this year - maybe some people will be interested in samples but I have so many samples in my life now and just want the full sizes!

Sarah Jossell will be reviewing beauty AC's on This Morning in 5 minutes.

@MrsBnow12 it does look good the beauty cracker . The 20% off was available for the beauty cracker last Black Friday too if you can risk it although I think this year is really good so might sell out.
Otherwise the only other deal I know is if you know anyone with Bluelight discount I think Flannels is on there

I got my Secret Sales beauty box today. I didn’t look at it properly as DH is going to put it in my DiY advent calendar.

He pulled out yet another hand sanitiser and gave me that now as I certainly didn’t want it in an a/c.

This is the second time I have had sanitiser in a beauty box - I really don’t think that’s where it belongs!

My JL calendar has arrived! Now the countdown (to the countdown) begins...

Ooh, I got my liberty advent today and it is truly a thing of beauty, so excited!

JL candle calendar has arrived. It's quite a dinky box. I'm excited! But going to put it away.

Mine too. I got DP to check it for me and all seems present and correct. I know what’s in it but not the order so I’m trying to resist any unboxings on YouTube so there’s at least some element of surprise!

My JL calendar has arrived today too! It’s smaller than the Space NK but excited to open it up to “check everything is in order”

I’m also tempted by the JL candle one, I didn’t think I’d be interested in such a calendar as I just buy candles and get gifted them as and when needed, but it does look good

Yes my JL calendar also arrived today - a smallish box in a much bigger box! It's not huge but that's fine. The box is prettier than it looked online actually :)

FAO anyone who has a Glossybox subscription. I spotted in the Glossy Lounge they have a 70% off code for Oulac (one of their lipsticks was in the advent calendar).

I just bought 11 products to try for £25.80 with free shipping. The basket would have cost £86.00 before discount.

Never tried this brand before so have no opinion on it. I'd set aside the advent calendar lipstick for DD's advent and I'll probably add some of these bits too.

Are the contents good quality candles?

Morning all

Not quite advent calendar related but hoping we're in S & B some folks may be familiar ...

Has anyone shopped from Anthropologie before and if so - do you end up with extra tax/duty? Was on the verge of getting something and noticed this -

Your order total includes all taxes and duties when shipping within the EU. Deliveries outside of the EU may incur additional customs charges on receipt of item(s).



No tax from Anthropologie, no. Are you on the UK site?

Daft question but how would I know? I'm on Anthropologie.com?

It has this under the payment options -

Orders are transacted as Anthropologie.com, 1 Finsbury Circus, London EC2M 7SH

Also remembered I went through Top Cashback

If the prices are in sterling, that’s a clue!

I just looked. They do deliver worldwide so that’s for people getting things from outside the EU. For the UK it’s a domestic delivery so no borders crossed and no duty payable.

Thanks Raspberry ... I'd seen my basket was sterling, then googled and found Anthropologie UK, went to the bottom of the first page where I could select UK it's just made me hesitate as it still has that tax message before payment and I thought as were no longer EU ...

Space NK fragrance calendar is out of stock - I thought it had only released this week. Sort out your stock control Space NK - very disappointed that this one has passed me by.

It’s supposed to be released today so probably wait an hour or so.

Yes, that's what I thought. I've been on the website quite frequently and not seen it yet. After the beauty AC debacle nothing would surprise me. Space NK don't seem very organized!

Wondering if it will be in the stores today as one not far from me but don't want to go there unnecessarily.
