Beauty advent calendars 2024 #4

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!

Funny how several calendars have already sold out, while a few haven't even gone on sale yet (e.g. Selfridges)

alwaysfretting · 08/10/2024 18:08

I contacted LF today to find out when my AC ordered on 1/10 wld be despatched. Apparently no more orders are going out until after 31/10

I bet they're selling a lot now that CB and Space NK have sold out. Space NK never came off pre-order.

Has anyone seen this?

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186719795926?mkcid=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338687641&toolid=10001&customid=1c015h17b5vsi

Only £49.99 and some good brands, although small sizes but that's to be expected with the price.

All proceeds to the Hygiene Bank too.

Love that, and has prompted me to set aside a box for all the things I get out of advent calendars that I don't want, to give to my local project. Will feel marginally less guilty for my over indulgence then!

Thanks for the replies. I don't know how to tag/quote separately so adding all responses to questions here.
It's the box that's damaged, I've not bothered looking inside as I knew it would be going back to jl.
I have contacted jl and there's been lots of small issues but long story short it's now sorted, being returned for a refund.
The lip balm was elizabeth arden, I've not seen it in any other calendar.
Yes the ok beauty does have the aa but there's so many small sizes and dod products.
I'm really struggling to find a calendar this year. I had the vogue last year and I think that spoiled me. I am thinking of suggesting a make your own, using last year's vogue box

What about one of these sets?

I did that recently, local project for women's refuges

Hi,

If you are signed up to the MSE emails, you can follow a link for early access to LF’s Beauty Vault. MSE reckons it’s worth about £639, (LF say over £700, which is pretty close).

It costs £150 for 14 items, and a lot of them seem to really be full size, (rather than travel sizes pretending to be bigger!) It looks like quite a good alternative to an advent calendar.

I am tempted, but I really shouldn’t!

AprilLady · 08/10/2024 21:25

@IlovePond it does look decent. Code BDLF will get you 21% off.

IlovePond · 08/10/2024 21:26

Thanks @AprilLady - I just tried it but it didn’t work. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, if you follow the MSE link and log on, then fill your basket, then log out, if you then go via the App to your stored basket, LF add a mini Medic8 product.

MrsBnow12 · 08/10/2024 22:32

@IlovePond one of the YouTubers code is DIARYLF, maybe that One will work for the 21% off

AprilLady · 08/10/2024 22:41

Sorry @IlovePond it was working this morning, but I just tried it now and it’s not working for me now either.

IlovePond · 08/10/2024 23:15

Thanks anyway @AprilLady

I’ll give that a go @MrsBnow12 - thanks

Edited: Tried that one too @MrsBnow12 but it’s not working on the Beauty Vault - thanks anyway.

I don’t need it, but might have been tempted with a discount!

On a related note: The October LF beauty subscription box is a bit better than September’s, in case anyone was thinking of signing up, (apart from the Avant product!)

Thelifeofawife · 09/10/2024 00:11

I like the look of the LF beauty vault. Neither of the codes above work for me to get 21% off, does anyone know of another code?
It did pop up offering me a 5% code, but I can’t really justify it without a bigger discount given I’ve already bought 2 calendars

pinkchampagne1 · 09/10/2024 07:37

I remember them doing a good deal last year where you got the LF beauty chest and advent for a really good price.

IlovePond · 09/10/2024 07:51

I think I will restrain myself re: the beauty vault and keep my fingers crossed for some bargains down the line!

AskingQuestions45 · 09/10/2024 08:10

I think I might cave if the JL
comes down in price. I don’t have any rewards to use. The candle one looks good too.

pinkchampagne1 · 09/10/2024 08:33

I was just watching the JL unboxing. I could be tempted if there is a discount as there are quite a few bits I would like to try. The Dermalogica vitamin C serum looks good and costs over £90!

virgocatlover · 09/10/2024 08:54

Boots are offering £10 worth of points if you spend £60 today and the No7 calendar is included

Am I missing something - I can't find the Beauty Vault on LF app. I'm a beauty box subscriber too! PLease could someone send a link or tell me how to find it (not that I need it.....) - thanks!

Thank you for this!! That's saved me £150! Why does BumBum Cream make an appearance in everything? Not a fan of the make up and I already have lots of Colour Wow so not for me this time... phew!

52crumblesofautumn · 09/10/2024 09:42

At least that's an actual 240 ml full size one...the Illamasqua Hydra Veil Primer is a great product too.

The boxes have been better than some of the calendars...still can't justify this though as too much Elemis oil still to use up before Black Friday!

52crumblesofautumn · 09/10/2024 09:47

Anyone tried the 111skin ampoules? I do like their products!
