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?

I'm sure that's one of the reasons the Beauty companies do these calendars, to raise brand awareness. It works, I'm a massive Byredo fan now. And Lisa eldridge.

Oh this is tempting...

I bought this one a while back (probably should have waited). I think it's a good one especially reduced.

Yes, a few stocking fillers in there for my daughter who is 11. Her age group seem obsessed with bubble, sol de janeiro and drunk elephant, all of which is in there.

Dear sage people of mumsnet,
for ages, I had my eye on liberty and Harvey nicks advent calendars.
Now I’m in a position to purchase, they’re out of stock ☹️
Is that it now? Or is it worth rechecking now and then?
Thank you ☺️

They've both been available for quite a while so possibly not. Harvey Nicks is more likely than Liberty I feel. I wouldn't be surprised if HN still have them in store - I was there a few weeks ago and they had a lot. Even if you don't live near one it might be worth calling them to see if they do and they can post.

Thank you. I’m a short commute from central London, but it would be so much easier to get it delivered. I’ll give them a call and see if they can help me.

Thank you! I called their customer service who put me through to their Edinburgh store. They’re doing next day delivery for me ♥️

@namechange0998776554799000 - I actually really like the M&S Formula night cream. I got it in an a/c and have since repurchased it, (I accidentally missed it off my list earlier of favourite a/c finds).

My grooming box from Look Fantastic arrived. It's brilliant! Lots for the gents of the family!

Ooh that's worth a look @IlovePond, very reasonably priced! Which one do you have?

My BBC box arrived a while ago and I'm very pleased with it. The contents look very similar to the pictures that MrsBnow posted on Monday, except I didn't order the version with the device included. I think I will probably use most of it, and have spent the last half hour looking everything up online. I've worked out that the total value is £794 so it's great value for money. I would have preferred more perfume and less haircare but the majority is skin care products which suits me.

@namechange0998776554799000 I have the purple Sleep and Replenish:

It smells really nice and I have bought it a few times since it turned up in an M&S calendar. I wouldn’t have thought of trying it otherwise.

I have also got the pink Restore one - sale bargain - but haven’t used that one yet:

Brilliant. Very pleased for you.

I've gone ahead and ordered the Boots Make More Room For Beauty Beauty Box Edit. Although I'm not sure it's quite as good as last years beauty edit box, but it's definitely very good value.

I ordered using a Rakuten sign up referal to get £25 additional cashback, making it £30. I also had £6 bonus points in my beautycard reward coupons.

If anyone wants a sign up referal for the Rakuten £25 to buy this too let me know and I'll send you my link.

@psuedocream3 Will the code work on any Boots calendar or just that edit?

@MrsBnow12 Yes any spend over £37.50 would qualify for the extra £25 cashback

I noticed that the premium one is available with the same offer, which I think is a bit better, but still not sure whether it's worth £80.

There are a quite a few DODs for me, including the highlighter (does anyone who isn't a Kardashian bother with highlighter?), the black eyeliner and the eyeshadow palette.

Can you send me your link please as am tempted with the 24 day one if it works out to £55 even though a few DOD’s there are some things I am after that makes it worthwhile x

amazing!

@MrsBnow12 I sent it over, yes it would work with that one too as the spend is over £37.50. It tracks fast too and should be payable next week which is a nice bonus.

Ok beauty has a Christmas box out , they are doing a bundle with the Hannah Martin advent for 120

Good value .. I am very tempted but will need to look properly see what I will actually use out of it !

Thank you, account set up and ordered…I need to stay away from this thread now!!

Pp who recommended a no 7 lip cream , was it No7 Protect & Perfect Lip Care ?

If so it's in the macmillan / boots calendar which is "better than half price " reduced to £44 . It would make a good Jadvent

Do you have any more codes or does it just work once?
