Beauty advent calendars 2024 #5

[virgocatlover]

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

@Seendacut The John Lewis one may come back in stock (or check instore if you’re local), which is £195.
As you’ve upped your budget, Liberty and Fortnum & Mason have a good variety too. It very much depends which brands you prefer.
Personally I went for Space NK and JL, but that’s because I don’t usually buy beauty AC’s so didn’t want to go too high end buying an AC with a lot of products I didn’t know

Thank you all for your suggestions. I really like the Forrnum and Mason one but I saw the Space NK one and I would have bought that if it was available! If I want one next year, I'll remember to start looking from the summer! 😆

My DH suggested to get a skincare subscription if I wasn't too sure and that way id get to look forward to something every month. It's a great idea and might consider that too!

Ooh I do like that one and it's cheaper than Fortmun too! . How realistic is it that it'll come back in stock?

It did come back into stock briefly, but not sure it's likely that'll happen again. Worth checking if there's a JL local to you that has one and ask them to hold it?

And yes, it's been utterly mad this year, so definitely worth starting early next year!

JL has come back into stock a couple of times, keep watching, and see if it's available in shops

Liberty and Fortnum and Mason are still available, but admittedly over your stated budget. Fenwick (12 days, but includes £70 gift with purchase at the moment).

JL has an 'email me' button, so there may be hope yet there as they manage inventory

Yes I’ve had it a few years, lovely products and gorgeous box.

Don't hold me to this but I read a post on a FB group earlier from someone who had emailed SpaceNK and was told there might be more stock coming in November.

Not seen it mentioned much on here but I rate the house of fraser christmas box at £69. There's about 17 items and it's a good cost to RRP ratio.
Only downside is there's not 24 items and they are not in individual drawers but anyone looking to make up a calendar for someone could easily get a box and 7 other items if they wanted a cheaper option. I think the contents are really good and mostly full size.

That's a lovely idea @IDontHateRainbows 🌸

Here it is!

My Look Fantastic was delivered yesterday. I’m a bit pissed off that they took the payment on 5th October.

I've just read the Mumsnet official extensive round up and review of beauty calendars and was extremely surprised that the John Lewis one does not even get a mention in passing. A lot about the Jurlique and the OK calendars which I haven't seen on these threads I don't think.

I assume those lists are paid placement. Am I wrong?

Almost certainly.

Certainly right or wrong? 😁

Certainly right

Not an advent calendar but a good beauty deal: get a 3 month Ok beauty box subscription for £20 via buyagift with code XYK92062BMT

They haven’t mentioned the calendars that are sold out, I think. I was a bit surprised Liberty was crowned the winner when these threads have given it to SpaceNK by some distance this year but then realised there’s no point mentioning it when you can’t get it!

Sephora sale started today. 15% off for bronze and 20% for silver and gold. Don't know if the advent calendar is included.
If you were planning to get some xmas sets or stock up on anything it'd probably a good time to do it.

That's what I assume too

The Mumsnet editor's round up had a section on the calendars that have sold out - JL not mentioned there either (and it has come back into stock in previous years having sold out initially)

QVC special deal today is Neom sets for half price. Would make nice xmas gifts.
