Beauty advent calendars 2024 #5

[virgocatlover]

Continued advent calendar discussions. Please share thoughts, purchases and if you see any discounts!

Beauty I have SpaceNk and I am done and this will be my December advent.

Fragrance on other hand! Penhaligon's 2023, Harrods and Harvey Nichol's. Sharing with two in my house so one each. So far there was only one that everyone wanted else we are opening them slowly and deciding nicely who gets what.

Is the Bridal Beauty Festival edit likely to come back in stock?

@MiaN I've got the same fragrance calendars as you, plus Liberty and l'Occitaine when it was on offer, and the Flannels fragrance cracker. I also bought the Jarrolds 12 day calendar from someone who was selling it for half price on Vinted. I really
Must stop now! 😆

How on earth will you get through all the stuff?!

@Obsessedwithsourdough
The vast majority of what I've got is fragrance, and I use loads every day without fail, morning and night. I'm sure my daughter will steal some of it as well. I don't have a huge stash of non fragrance products, and once I've given away the makeup things from the non fragrance calendars, there won't be that much left to get through over the year.

I’ve just been to Penhaligons to have another few experimental sniffs. Managed to come out without buying anything 😹

Was the Jarrolds calendar this year? I’ve been in there this morning and didn’t see it.

It was definitely available on the website over the weekend but I haven't been to the store so don't know, I'm afraid. I didn't realise that Jarrolds did their own advent calendar and I was just lucky to see one pop up on Vinted at such a good price that it would have been rude of me not to buy it 😆

I googled something advent calendar related and this popped up under Google shopping! Don't all rush at once please ladies...

I mean, who DOESN'T need a calendar of empty candle pots! 🤣

Watched an unboxing of Sephora and thought it looked pretty good, but I absolutely cannot justify any more calendars this year. I would never get through the products.

That’s funny @MidnightMeltdown - I am all for a bit of recycling but really 😹

Only £110! I think she wins cheeky mare of the year award.

Hope nobody buys it not realising that everything is miniature!

I thought Sephora was good after watching an unboxing but I'm in the same boat as you. Cannot justify any more (unless they reduced it to half price or something but v unlikely).

@ChildrenOfTheQuorn They have said it won’t be restocked but will launch their Christmas things shortly…I know they did a poll about bags and most people voted end October so maybe something will come out next week.

Just had an email. JL Beauty advents back in stock!!

Ah, thanks for letting me know. I'd only heard of them from this thread so maybe I'll spring for a glow up mystery bag instead :)

@ChildrenOfTheQuorn I ordered the glow up mystery box, if you would like a pic of the contents let me know

Just had a look at the F&M calendar, looks lovely, anyone had it previously?

Ooh I’ve not tried that one. I’ve got a pink floral one from there, I think it’s Miss Dior dupe.
If you’re interested in perfume dupes, Zara is also good

I've ordered it this year and have had it a few times in the past.

It's usually one of my favourites, very luxurious.

Mine arrived today. Am yet to inspect it’s all intact as I can’t get it out of the box it came in 😂

Oh yes please!

@ChildrenOfTheQuorn This was the glow up mystery bag…I also have had the cleanse one but can’t find the picture…I have been happy with both of them .

Next years school uniform is in my basket 🫢

It looks absolutely beautiful. I discounted it previously but looking at it again, it’s gorgeous. If it’s still in stock on pay day, I might go there- maybe I’ll try and resist M&S in preparation.
