Beauty advent calendars 2024 #5

[virgocatlover]

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

Ha just posted that too. It's not stuff I want really but pretty good especially as you get the gift card.

it’s a good freebie if you’re buying anyway but I am not. I’m awash with gorgeous advent calendars and cannot justify ever spending money on beauty again 🙈.

I don’t know how you’re all so on top of these offers but I’m very grateful for this thread and each of you in it.

I’ve made the mistake of thinking it was all too early for me then starting to feel festive and the big hitters are sold out.

I’ve gone for a couple of the boxes/edits. I also have the H&B AC and am pleased with it. I could be tempted by one more, maybe Space NK if it comes back in stock.

I did buy 3 of my wish list things at Sephora with 20% off (naughty). That's me being restrained though. I had 6 things in my basket originally then triaged them down to most wanted/needed.

Lots of people are likely to get paid over the next few days so I reckon that some of the remaining calendars might sell out (e.g. maybe Sephora, F&M etc) if anyone is still considering them.

You just know that the second they sell out someone will complain that it's been in their basket for 3 weeks and they were just about to buy it! 😂

I tried going through to checkout with the Sephora Advent Calendar. No reductions unsurprisingly so it's not part of the sale.

ACs seem to be selling out much earlier this year. Has anyone had their Sephora calendar arrive yet? Mine is on pre-order with a despatch date of end Nov although hoping it comes sooner.

Some good gift sets coming on the scene now just in case anyone wants more beauty stuff.

It has a ‘notify me’ option, which suggests there will be more stock.
I did this and got an email off them when it came back in stock a few days ago.
Theres a good selection of products and the box is nicer than it looks online, and very sturdy. The Space NK box I was disappointed with, but the products are great

Hmm tempted by a Kilian 50ml perfume instead of a perfume advent. Do Kilian have better offers anywhere around black friday? Currently cheapest I can find is 20% off..

The Boop site I mentioned is on Shop on TV tonight. It’s a great site for beauty bargains

Not advent however nice beauty stuff ... I've mentioned how lovely this brand is before ...

Two offers although I don't think they are stackable unfortunately.

First one ...
This may be a one off code but Pai Skincare (gorgeous products especially formulated for sensitive skin, 90 day money back guarantee and a UK brand founded by women, cruelty free, vegan and B Corp certified.

20% off orders over £30, think free delivery may be £35 +.

Their Retinal, Feather Canyon eye cream and cleansing oils are gorgeous. Lots of Christmas sets at the mo.

I don't get anything if you use this code in case anyone wondered

DMX44XU

Second one ...

Until 28 Oct, free Cleanse & Calm Mini Duo worth £16 with every order over £45.

@tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz . That is a good offer. Unfortunately I have just blown the budget with the Cult Beauty 20% off plus GWP and gift card which was too good to resist (although I don't think the GWP is that great, the £25 gift card is) so I topped up my Sunday Riley vitamin c and eye cream and also bagged a free gift from Sunday Riley as part of their promotion . I am just not going to look at my bank balance for a while!

I have had to start hiding all my lovely items enabled by you lot in the hope I can keep my addiction from DH. Seriously though I probably need an intervention

@Puravida23 what was the 20% off code for cult beauty please?

@psuedocream3 it was BDCB but it only works for certain items (it didn't work for the latest beauty boxes for example).

Actually you could try CBWELCOME15 also for Cult Beauty that does seem to work for the beauty boxes and I tried it on LOccitane advent as well and it brought it down to £57.80 from £68

I am weak, weak person! I caved and ordered Space fragrance advent. After all the talk. I just felt I have the core two - Harrods and Harvey Nicks. It will make sense to have the 3 and decide which one is my favourite!

I've gone for the justmylook calendar. I thought £55 was a bargain (thanks to whoever mentioned the price drop!) and it comes with a free halloween goodie bag with olaplex minis.

That is a good deal with the GWP

I am green with envy!! I have been bitterly regretting not getting Harvey Nicks now I have Harrods and Space. My husband thinks I'm mad, but I'm a sucker for a 'full set'. You are my hero 😍

Oooh very tempted by Just My Look ... a fair few brands I've not heard of ... can anyone share of the contents are any good?

Justmylook would make a lovely jadvent.

I’m still recovering from that year when we all went a bit mad and bought enough calendars to build a village.

Although I’d really like a repeat of some of those bargains, remember the sock calendar?! And bare minerals!

@Pinenu I developed an expensive Bare Minerals habit after getting that calendar at it's bargain price!

It could be a worthwhile loss leader ploy for a brand to sell a few at a 'blip' price if it reels in a number of new ongoing customers. It worked with me anyway!

I’ve still got that Bare Minerals unopened. I’m going to do it this year.

Glad you got it, i missed out on the gwp but its fine even without it! I worried about legitimacy of the website and delivery etc but all was good, came in 48 hrs and contents seem to be all in place.
