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?

@OchonAgusOchonOh Im really pleased for you that HN have tried so hard to sort this out for you. You will definitely remember customer service like that.

Well I did just have a beauty advent and a wax melt one, but someone has sent me a gift and now I have a brownie advent!

Not beauty but it's.. beautiful

@Growlybear83 - it makes such a difference.

That certainly looks beautiful.

I've bought the Boots Christmas bauble - I wanted the Milk bronzer and lip balm anyway, so the other bits are just a bonus.

Prep & Prime Luxury Beauty Christmas Bauble www.boots.com/prep-and-prime-luxury-beauty-christmas-bauble-10355610

EXTRA2024 for an extra 10% off SpaceNK, although wouldn't stack with Quidco's £15 extra cashback as the code isn't on their site

I can’t recall which pp mentioned it but I’ve just picked up the Bobbi Brown mini duo shadow sticks for £19 + free delivery from the BB site.

Getting ready for Sunday! Who starts the opening calendar threads and when?

I’ve got the Liberty London women’s advent calendar and happy to start that one.

@BakeOffRewatch It's close now! I have the SpaceNK advent.

I've actually opened my calendar so I can enjoy all the products through December as a routine and to make sure I actually have 'me time' daily, rather than add one thing each day. But... I am looking forward to joining the chat for each days product.

@buffyspikefaith 's brownie advent looks divine, so I may be tempted to see if anything similar goes on offer on Black Friday. And I have my eye on a jewellery advent but what't the chances of those actually getting reduced, probably not very high.

I have done the Waifs and Strays thread for the past couple of years. This year I’ll be opening Harrods and SpaceNk - happy to do the general thread again but also fine if someone else would like to run it this year. Please let me know.

Waifs and Strays is the best. @buffyspikefaith can you do the brownie one on that thread please?

It’s nice when the longstanding thread starters continue to do so, then their posts are always green and easy to see. What are the rules usually put at the top? It’s 7AM UK time reveal is it? I’ve skimmed the threads before but not been an active participants.

@psuedocream3 which jewellery ones are you keeping an eye on? I like the Missoma blue box, Liberty and Oliver Bonas (they’ve got a plated one and a costume jewellery one). There’s also an Astrid and Miyu.

I'm getting excited too 😆. What happens with the 12 days of Christmas calendars? Do those threads start on xmas day?

I don't think I've ever seen one then but this is my first year with a 12 day one so just might not have noticed. The tights 12 day one was in waifs and strays last year.

@BakeOffRewatch I like the look of the Liberty one, but unfortunately there is no chance I am buying it at the current price. And the just shy of £1000 astrid and miyu with the story chain voucher and jewellery box. I can dream!

I got this email but the code doesn't work. Is it working for anyone?

Not working for me either @OvaHere 😿

I've got the Harrods Beauty calendar and looking forward to start opening on Sunday. I'll probably stalk Waif & Strays as the variety is interesting (and yes to brownie involvement & 7am spoiler cut off)

I've tried on a different browser and my phone to check it wasn't a cookie issue caused by TCB. Slightly annoying because I was going to buy some perfume if it came down another 10%.

@Housewife2010 started the Liberty 2023 thread will you do so for 2024?

I'm happy to start a H&B one if no one else wants to? I've done it in previous years but not last year.
Can't believe we're only a few days away from opening!

Looks like Cult Beauty have upped their discount to 30% from 25%

me too. Would have made quite a difference to the final price. I'm wondering if someone at Space NK is realising they are being too generous?

I’m seeing just 25% @MrsBnow12 - am I doing something?
