Beauty advent calendars 2024 #6

[virgocatlover]

We still have a few weeks to go but we are up to thread 6.

Will we get any good Black Friday discounts?

They may do a % off rather than deals on specific items? In the past they've done £10 off 50/ £20 off £100 type incentives.

I'm more excited for the post Xmas reductions. Had some good bargains then. Just don't expect anything fast as last year they seemed to take ages to process orders in the Jan sales

LiB AC has indeed been reduced on their tiktok shop, £96. The OK bundles are really good value too.
There will be nothing left to sell on the actual Black Friday day.

Will do 😁 I'm very excited by it. I met some family in Dublin for lunch and decided to swing be Harvey Nicks on a whim so was delighted to find the calendar in stock. It psyched me up for the 3 hour drive home 😁

@OchonAgusOchonOh and may the joy it brings be exponentially related to the cost.

Thank you😁

Latest in beauty is £96 for me at the moment on TT shop , very tempted

LiB £99 online from midnight for those interested who don’t do tik tok.

Anyone interested don’t forget Quidco.

Estée Lauder have 25% off ‘almost everything, with code: EARLY

A lot of things I would never ever use in that LiB calendar, but £99 is a good price. I’m wondering why midnight on a Sunday/Monday though, especially when it’s on TikTok already. (Not that I do TikTok!)

I’ve opened the first door of my LF advent calendar today. Yes I know it’s early but I will give a few bits away as presents.

Just to inform you, nestled at the bottom of the box, hard to see is a voucher for £30 for Foreo, which I know some people were considering. If anyone wants my voucher let me know.

Some brands at Sephora have 25% off, and there are also some deeper discounts via ‘flash sales’.

This weekend only.

There’s also a free beauty bag, (it looks pretty good for free), on purchases £120 and over.

30% off the Clarins 12 day calendar, bringing it down to £66.50:

Also 30% off Xmas gifts at Clarins:

Great plan!

I don't think there are many calendars left now - and those that are left probably won't drop in price much if at all before selling out. However I'm still here for the edits, crackers and beauty gift bargains

Just bought these as Xmas gifts - £24.99 usually £44. They're a nice size at 500ml each and I'll split them between DH and 3 DS's. There's also other men's kits heavily discounted.

At checkout I was also offered the Sea Salt fragrance for £5. The first purchase discount code works with the offers and it's free shipping over £30

Never purchased from here before so I don't know what anything is like but the shower gels seem to have good reviews.

Fenwick’s still have their 12 days of beauty available - wondered what you all thought of it - is it good value?

There’s no way I’d pay £200 for a 12 day calendar.

@Millymollymine I also think the Fenwick’s calendar is pretty poor value compared with others (now mostly sold out unfortunately). If you have an old calendar around that could be refilled, perhaps consider something like this instead:

19 full size products, and much better value for money.

I agree @Millymollymine - I think that’s why it’s still around - too pricy for a 12 day calendar. One to watch for a reduction methinks…

In Aldi today In SpecialBuys:

Lacura cleansing balm,
Lacura setting spray
Lacura Lip Stick
Lacura Hair Perfume - looked nice - obviously couldn’t sniff it in its packaging

I got the setting spray for DD.

There's a very good thread started today called:
Those red light masks

I am sorry I don't know how to link to it, it's about LED face masks, I think some of us might find it useful.

Someone posted a link to an article reviewing well regarded masks. A bit of a headache really because the top one is £3000 for face and neck.

Thank you @AprilLady for the CeW link, they had a fantastic one a couple of years ago, I still regret not buying. This one looks good.
Hearst Magazines usually have some good beauty boxes too.

@IlovePond did they have the gold caviar serum in stock at Aldi? I saw it on the website the other day but haven't had the chance to go near an Aldi store yet. I haven't tried this line.
Also on the website, they showed the serum in a green bottle dupe for LaMer (supposedly). Now, I bought 3 of these when they first came out but I still haven't started using!!! Nonetheless I feel like I want to buy a few more if they actually have them in the shop.

@IlovePond I bought the setting spray and the lip kit which is a kylie cosmetics dupe. I've tried it today and it lasted a good few hours and I had lots of comments about how lovely it was.
