Beauty advent calendars 2024 #5

[virgocatlover]

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

Thank you so much for this, bought it last night! My HN fragrance calendar arrived yesterday and will get the M&S one so think it's time to stop now... Looking forward to December, if I can hold out for that long

I've bought the ASOS one with the discount, too. Looking forward to my first beauty advent calendar!

Does anybody have a list of what’s in the M&S calendar please?

Have bought the Latest in beauty advent calendar for the last 2 years which I've really enjoyed, with good discount, but wasn't too impressed with the contents this year so will be nice to try different ones

Was it £50 last year ? I can’t remember .

Ordered Sephora but not particularly impressed by them saying 'will despatch by 1st Dec' as that's apx 6 weeks off. Although it may actually mean I have an advent calendar that I open during advent, for once.

Looks like a good selection of stuff in there anyway

Thankyou for your help ladies, hopefully I'll still get my hands on a lovely one x

It was £45 with a £35 spend last year

Arghh ASOS code now expired! I don't seem to be having any luck - always too late to the party 😟

So this year £50 with a £30 spend I think .

@1apenny2apenny - I’ve been doing the same - putting things in basket, then letting the offer expire🙀. Don’t worry, though, I am sure there will be other promotions on some a/c - possibly even ASOS as this is their second discount on the a/c, (which makes me think possibly it’s not selling that well?)

Justmylook advent calendar is reduced to £55 now, good for a mini kbeauty skincare haul so just bought one. Only one or two DODs for me like fake tan and clear lipoil.

I notice that the JL advent now says ‘coming soon’ so I wonder if they are expecting more stock

Looks as though vogue is still available too, although I'm not really surprised. Would love to know how many they've managed to shift at £355!

Selfridges is available again. I remember the same happening last year in that it appeared to sell out right away but then became available again. My sister got Selfridges last year and my BIL bought it for her early November.
JL now says ‘awaiting stock’ so imagine that means more stock is on the way.

Oh JL is now available to order online again for anyone interested. I must resist! 😃

I don't know how it works with the merchandising but maybe they see how quickly it sells out on the first release and then quickly make up some more. I guess the last thing they want is to be left with a load of stock that hasn't sold and has to be sold at discount. Although i will happily buy up any discounted ACs in December!
Not an AC, but for the fragrance lovers amongst us, Space NK is doing a fragrance GWP today - £65 min spend. Annoyingly the one scent I want, Maison Margiela, is just under at £62 but I suppose I could make it up with something small. Has to be fragrance, but the fragrance AC doesn't count.

Wanted Space NK but despite it showing as in stock at 7am it wouldn't go through. So have gone with JL. DD and I will use all of the products so am happy now as I have a calendar 🙂.

Thank you everyone for all the updates and info.

JL is showing as out of stock again so they must have only had limited stock. 🤔

My lookfantastic calendar was allegedly dispatched last week but Royal Mail tracking shows they haven’t received it yet. Hoping they aren’t going to cancel the order and meanwhile I’ll have missed out on other options.

Thank you @IDontHateRainbows, the search for a £65 fragrance purchase has begun!

There are a few gift set type things that may be good, if samples/ small are your thing

I got the charlotte tilbury perfume set plus another 10ml CT which came to £68. Will whack em on ebay as CT not really my thing but they are popular. Should make my money back or thereabouts so gift is free.

Genius!

For Space NK I got the Byredo floral set and used the code FIRST15, which stacked with the free gift. I was dithering about buying the set anyway.
