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!

Advent experts - do you think the No7 big one (£175) will get a reduction in Star Gifts or similar? I want to go for it because the brand suits my skin and I know I'd use absolutely everything, but I'll be gutted if it goes down in price ...

Quite a lot of good deals about! Bonne maman calendar is arriving today, exciting!

AFAIK they are never reduced as they sell out before that and very unlikely to be a star gift. However you may be able to take advantage of their points events or when they do save 10% when you spend £60 or similar

Does anyone know where I can get the Bonne Maman advent shipped to Ireland?

My Space NK ordered on 10th, finally arrived today 🎉

Hope anyone still waiting gets theirs soon

My Latest In Beauty mystery box arrived. It's crammed full of stuff. The calendar is still en route.

I thought that CB would go quickly once Space NK sold out.

People will probably go for Sephora or Look Fantastic next, so if anyone wants one of those then I wouldn't hang about.

Hi, it’s worth checking Boots Advantage offers to see if there are offers on a/cs. My offers today include double points on selected advent calendars, (and some are reduced by up to 25% - e.g. Nivea Men’s and B&H Men’s).

Oh no, I was supposed to order CB last night but fell asleep. Hope it comes back in stock.

How exciting, I am expecting mine either today or today…I am a sucker for a mystery box😂

What sort of stuff is in it?

A bit of everything. I haven't had time to go through it properly.

For those putting advent calendars together I was in TK Maxx yesterday and was quite surprised by some of the skincare in there - Zelens, Clarins etc. Also quite a lot of Stila and CT make up items.

Oh that does look good

There was a code (GOFLASH20) which brought it down to £16 including delivery; looks really good value.

If you've £570 to burn and not a cat in hells chance of discounts Dior is out today - £570

Looks utterly beautiful tho. For a laugh I went through checkout to see what freebies you get with it, was a full size lippy, denim make up pouch and a gold notebook

Also choose a luxury samples and the the usual x 2 samples.

In my dreams

I ordered the £60 Boots one for dd but I think it might be a bit old/boring for her (she's 17) so I've just ordered Glossybox instead. Might have to keep the No7 one for me (what a shame ).
The Glossybox came with a free grümm set (you have to select it on the offers). I'm not a member so it cost £85 but looks decent. Hope dd likes it.
I regret starting this whole posh advent calendar lark. It was easier when I just got a dairy milk one from Tesco!

I got a free grumm set. I put the stuff in DS's bathroom so haven't tried it. The packaging (imo) looks terrible but the body wash did smell really nice.

My one arrived and also delighted with the contents.
This was the Latest in Beauty mystery box for £20 or £16 with the discount code.

Is that the old or new formula Nivea? If it's the old formula you can probably become a millionaire selling it on Vinted. 😂

I read the thread on here about how much people hate the new vegan formula.

Marking my place in the new thread. I have Liberty and not buying anything else!

Although tempted a lot from recommendations in these threads! Really like the look of the Selfridges boxes.

And I agree with @OvaHere @MrsBnow12 - that original Nivea is in very short supply!

I'm looking at the CB Scent with Love Advent for my niece. Has anyone managed to get this recently or has it been out of stock for a while? I'm wondering if they're going to re stock or they're all gone...

Not sure if I've marked this one yet, I can't keep up! I've just caught up and think the OK from HM looks really good for the price.

Super helpful, thank you. Have already purchased the Flannels cracker and awaiting delivery. Sounds like HN is going to be the one.
