Beauty advent calendars 2024 #7

[virgocatlover]

Only a few days to go until the doors open.

Please share thoughts, discussions and any last minute discounts!

Well done @OchonAgusOchonOh we do have another Boots on a retail park but I'm not short on black mascara so wasn't that fussed.

Im sure it said the offer runs until 12 Dec so potentially some stores may restock if anyone is in Boots through the week.

Actually no - I just checked the app and it says the offer expire in 1 day so I guess it's just this weekend.

Thanks, got for £30 with £15 off from rewards

@OvaHere yeah, I thought the same too. It initially said available until 12th and then changed to 1 day. Dd us delighted with it.

Hi @IDontHateRainbows - that’s a good deal! Did you have a £15 reward or did a couple stack? I have a £10 and a £5 reward, (very generous of JL, actually), but it’s not letting me put them together.

Thanks

Oh I didn't imagine that then!

JL never give me skincare rewards. Do you think you have to buy a lot of skincare with them first?

my John Lewis reward today is 10% off own brand hampers. Yesterday was an Estee Lauder mascara with a minimum spend. Are we all receiving different rewards? I gave up checking after I went with the baby and they said they’d run out of the Monty Bojangles chocolate. Was a good excuse to get out and about but disappointing

I had a £15 reward so it seemed a no brainer to use it for this, brough it down to £30

I'd expect so yes. Probably based on prior spending histoyr

Not at all the case for me. I have been trying to figure out why I keep getting £15 vouchers but didnt want to jinx it by mentioning here! I received a new £15 one this week and my only recent order was a £25 purchase using a £15 voucher.

Ah I’m confusing the advent rewards with general rewards. Even so I’m not receiving targeted rewards, I spend on baby and child kit and clothes at JL. Beauty is mainly Liberty and CUlt Beauty for me.

Thanks @IDontHateRainbows - that makes sense. I am tempted to buy it with my £10 reward.

I've been receiving £10 off skincare rewards, lucky people who've been getting more! I assume it's because I buy their spenny advent calendars.

I don’t buy hardly anything from JL but I do enter all their competitions - I can go for months without any rewards, but this is the second £10 reward no minimum I have had in the last month!

Has anybody else noticed that the contents of the JL BB don’t match the pictures.

As follows:

List of contents says 12 items, only 11 pictured.

AA Oil is listed in the contents, but is not in the pictures.

I really like the AA oil and it’s slammed up in price recently, so I would be annoyed if I order and it’s missing.

Has anybody seen the box irl to see if the AA Oil is there?

Thanks

Thank you for the reminder. I’ve just bought a hamper for XPILs.

I've found JL not to be 100% accurate in the past. Sometimes this works in your favour, sometimes not .Eg in one of the beauty boxes the charlotte tilbury magic cream was listed as 7ml, it was 15ml. Conversely the beauty cracker had Mac Ruby Woo listed as full size when it was travel size.

I've ordered it so will be sure to update when it arrives

Ah, thanks @IDontHateRainbows - I will hold fire - I would quite like the box but if it sells out I won’t be too upset. (Whereas, if the AA oil is missing and I only discovered on opening, I would be miffed!)

Thanks so much x

@Growlybear83 Not sure what happened to
my reply but it appears hidden, wanted to say I got rid of my hair gain stuff on the bay of e after no joy on Vinted. I bundled the hair mask and gummies and a scalp from and gummies.

I bought the BB mystery box too. Definitely don't need it but I enjoy the exciting/nervous wait for whats inside! I did enjoy the couple of Jurlique products I've tried previously and like the sound of this handwash set.
I got £35 cashback from British Gas so that kind of justifies it although it will also be justifying my takeaway tonight, so.....

I'm quite looking forward to it now I've taken the plunge. The bigger boxes made me too nervous although they turned out to be good based on the photos posted here.

I used these tonight in my prep for going out. Some from Space NK AC, some from JL AC, some from JL beauty cracker, and my bargainous Hourglass palette. Very happy with the end result!

I had a bit of a wobble about the Hourglass palette thinking it would be too dark for my skin tone, but it’s great. I love how it melts into my skin, and it lasted all day shopping yesterday and a night out tonight, with varying temperatures. Very impressed!

Hope you had a nice time @Thelifeofawife! How did you use the Hourglass palette?
