Beauty advent calendars 2024 #5

[virgocatlover]

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

I’m going with that too @OvaHere 😹

Just realised that by getting Rituals and Shiseido I have ended up with two one brand calendars 🙈

Also interested in a post calendar swop thread

Me too!

I didn’t know they had previously done 50ml, I bought last year and it was 30ml so assumed it had always been that way. I still think it’s a good deal and nice to try some different products, anything I don’t want I’ll sell on, but I will use most of the set for sure

I think you’re becoming a strong enabler MrsB! 🤣
I need to stay off these threads for a while… I won’t though

@Thelifeofawife haha, I am sure I said my last buy was my last but had forgotten I had earmarked these when they were announced.

My BB mystery box has been cancelled. I am really pleased as the more I thought about it, the more I realised it was likely to be stuff that I wouldn’t use and would just be too much for DD, who I already have a stash for. Impressed that they went straight ahead and did it too.

That’s good @Doubleraspberry - I was wondering about how you were getting on, so thanks for the update!

@Doubleraspberry Thats great news and glad they did the right thing. No doubt a weight off your mind.

Reporting to say I've now opened my Aldi peptide moisturiser and it feels lovely on my skin. Going to grab another if there are any left.

Still looking at the remaining ACs as I can't decide - none have knocked me out, and I have a stash of stuff so can't say I need one. Will see what Black Friday proper brings.

If you are hunting can I also recommend the tube of nourishing peptide lip treatment in watermelon. I assume it's a Laneige dupe or similar.

There was just one left when I was in my local Aldi. It was about £3 and it's actually pretty good (I also have a small pot of the Laneige one for comparison).

Thread 6 for when we need it

Thanks for this. I’ve been looking for a decent mask selection as a Christmas present and this is perfect. Particularly at this price. I was so pleased I had to order two. One for me as well. 😈

They also cancelled mine. They are probably stalking this thread and saw the outrage which is not at all good for their PR.

Yes me too.

I did wonder. We may both be consumed with envy when the uncancelled boxes arrive of course!

Glad to see the BB cancellations have been confirmed - phew!
They better not cancel mine by mistake!!! I'd be rather upset if they did.

Great suggestions on using Nuxe oil- very useful.

I thought Black Friday was this Friday gone? Lots of sales emails cluttering my inbox last week. I'm getting confused again like I did last year. I'm not spending a penny more on myself. My treasure of skincare is still embarrassingly huge. I do hope to get rid of it before I die, what will they all think if they see the enormity of the problem?

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, so later in the month.

Like @Branster I’d be upset if they cancelled mine, I received tracking details today so hopefully that means it will be on its way to me this week.

They cancelled them at our request so I don't think you need to worry!

Do you have a link to this product please? I can't find it on the app.
