Beauty advent calendars 2024 #5

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

I've had the foaming face wash from Zelens before and absolutely loved it. Got it in a Liberty washbag. It retails at around £50 so can't justify buying it again but I'd love to try more Zelens products.

The shimmery is definitely better on skin and the idea from @buffyspikefaith about adding it to cream is great, I can't believe that never occurred to me. I also use the oils on my cuticles and nails etc, but my hair and skin is dry and thin so it loves oil. I can imagine if you have lovely dewy skin and fine hair it would be too much!

IIRC we have had previous threads after advent where people have swapped items - it's interesting how one person's "gathering dust at the back of the cupboard" is another's holy grail! Would anyone be up for a swaps thread?

I'm on the app so can't link annoyingly but did anyone see on thr BBC news earlier there was an article about a scam Space NK website?

Any suggestions for tween who loves skin care products ?

Ooh I'm sure this was on TK Max too for £20, I think

If you already have an account can you delete and do a new one and be a new customer? Won’t the system recognise the address , name or email ?

It's not the gestapo! I've had different accounts/ emails before on QVC no one cares

I signed up on QVC with a new email after not shopping on there for a few years. Couldn't remember my password and the reset email didn't send despite trying multiple times so I just rejoined with a new account.

Ok, thanks for making me feel stupid .

Thanks .

Yeah I think it was a reasonable question, there are other sites that will reject new customer discounts if it's the same bank account etc...

Thanks .
Exactly as they often give good offers and discounts for new customers .

You're welcome

You’re quite the charmer . I avoid AIBU , bit thought style and beauty was a helpful place. Guess not everyone is .

I'm so disappointed they've gone to the 30ml pro-collagen marine cream instead of the normal 50ml. So disappointed. And increased the price this year to boot.

Now not sure I'll buy the sets since that was always the primary reason I bought them!

I had a look at my stash and the only thing running low is the marine cream so I’m not going for the set.

Maybe get partner to order?

Count me in!

Could do . Having a look at TSV and not grabbing me . Why do they always put in the apricot toner ! It feels like a filler .

The Lookfantastic mask box ‘Merry Mask Edit’is now live for anyone looking for stocking fillers/ Christmas Eve box. It contains 12 different masks.
I used the link from YouTuber Miss Boux and got it for £27.65 with free delivery.

Do they usually do a duo of the shower milk and body lotion as an offer running up to xmas? I'd probably buy that.

@ThePeopleBowedAndPrayedToTheNeonGodTheyMade I saw the ads on social media for the fake Space NK website claiming to sell the advent calendar for a ridiculously low price. I reported it but they wouldn't take the ads down.

I've had it before, it's nice but imo not great value for the price you pay and the amount of product you get. Maybe try the shops in outlet centres as they often sell last year's calendars for a discount.

@DarlingCoffee - I agree that if you can get to Bicester Village or a McArthur Glen you may pick up a previous year’s Rituals calendar much cheaper. I was at both recently and they had the 2022 tree version for £60 and the 2023 village one, (very lovely), for £125 at Bicester and under £85 at York McArthur Glen.

It would be best to call first, rather than making a special visit in case they are oos.

Re: Value - if you can get one reduced, they are great. However, most of the sizes are quite small, (although the higher price points do have some pricier items and the calendars are lovely and reusable - I kept my village for a couple of years and used it as a decoration.)

If you like Rituals - I do - then you might not mind it being all one brand. However, it is also nice to be able to try a variety of things.

My Rituals calendar doesn't count as a self present because it contains household things and shower type products I'm willing to share across the household. So that makes it not self indulgent.

This is my logic and I'm sticking to it. 😂
