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!

I also didn't get an e mail from HN . Just kept checking the website and have ordered the fragrance calendar. That's me done now . I have to start using stuff up and not putting it away just to admire every so often . I have this fear of running out of beauty products, when realistically it's never going to happen .

I'm embarrassed to admit it took me a while to work out there is two of them and they are twins. I started watching James then the algorithm kept serving up Robert's videos also and I was like, why does James look slightly different here, I can't figure out what's going on? Eventually I worked it out. 😂

I am kind of relieved that JL has sold out as that was the one that would have swayed me to maybe buy a second calendar if it was discontinued.

I have just discovered the Boop website that sells massively discounted quality skincare that may have been discontinued or be without a box. Just had a delivery of an ESPA moisturiser that retails at £82 that I got for £11.99!

JL in stock only 6 left

I have a personalised 15% off for Harvey Nicks that doesn't work on the fragrance advent. So disappointing as I would have bought it.

The code works, I tested it on a random £700 dress that looks like a nurses uniform! So I'll think if there's anything else I might be able to use it on. I'm a bit gutted although I have no reason to be really after recent Liberty and SpaceNK perfume kits plus a Harrods fragrance advent already here waiting for December lol

I've just bought the HN fragrance calendar too, and I also had a £15 off code that didn't work. Did everyone else get charged for postage? But at least I've got it and that's me done for this year ☺️

Ive just realised P&P isn't free unless you spend £250 at HN. I'm still very pleased that I've got it as there are lots of fragrances I'm looking forward to trying.

Now the HN is out I'm hesitating. It's the only one I've been interested in this year! Do I really need all that perfume, decisions...

If you have it Blue Light gives you 10% at Harvey Niks on beauty

I love this thread ... so many like me who cannot don't really try to ---- resist the lure of lovely beauty treats and to whom the words Gift With Purchase are like cat nip

Waaah! I've been lurking on this thread, and waiting to buy the JL calendar, and now it has sold out. Does anyone know if it is likely to be restocked? Also I can't remember who said about the £5 off on £50 spend when returning empties to JL, have you seen the Boots Recycle scheme? You scan empties and when approved, you get an extra 500 Advantage points on a £10 spend in Boots.

wooo relieved I didn't hold out for a JL discount. I do think it's pretty good for £195 so I am happy. Also have my home-made F&M box one which I know is full of goodies haha

I would just keep checking I checked first thing this morning and there were 6 in stock

I did get charged postage which was a bit 🤔I looked at the t&cs and it says it excludes the beauty advent ( but it doesn’t specify not fragrance). Im being cheeky but I emailed them anyway just incase.

That Boop site looks amazing! I've just put the Boucleme rescue bag in my basket...is it definitely a legit site? I'm always a bit sceptical when things look too good to be true

Really Ree has a good unboxing of the HN fragrance AC on her Instagram. I already have door 12 - it's very nice, but I want to finish on an exciting day, so I'm going to get my daughter to swap it with door 6. - 6, 9 & 12 are the largest size doors.
The AC does look so lovely on her unboxing.

For those who get on well with SR good genes, where does it sit in your routines?

I use tret of an evenings and makeup during the day so never know where to put it.

Yes it is definitely legit and has won some beauty award. I got my items delivered very quickly and we’re all packaged well

I'm not really surprised. They're like dominoes. Once a couple sell out and the choice is limited, people scramble to get what's left. This always happens (except in 2022 when nothing sold out for ages!).

HN fragrance is OOS already!

Received my space NK fragrance calendar today and it's lovely. I had some vouchers/ points so only £105 actual money for me. Quite a good selection of sizes, smallest is 5ml. Couple of big items.
Right off to pick up my AC from selfridges!

Good. That puts an end my temptation. 😂

It looks to be available again

Nooooo. I've looked at it a few times this morning.

I.will.not.buy.

I ordered the HN fragrance this morning and now I’m eyeing up their other AC, despite my self-imposed ban.
