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!

Ok. I'll do that and put a link in here. If it's just the two of us we can always migrate to waifs and strays.

I have caved and bought the Lumene calendar for £55 with free next day delivery. Love their products and have recently stocked up, but I will use most everything in the box. Great travel sizes. Just over £2 per item... 🙃

Is there a JL opening thread? Marks & Sparks ?

My Bridal Beauty boxes have arrived.
First picture is the £60 Black Friday box and second one is the sleep mystery box which had 25% off so reduced to £30. I recall someone mentioning a Whind product so looking forward to trying that.
The Medik8 is crystal retinal 6, not sure you can see that in the picture.

I've got H&B and DD has Degousta. I opened M&S through November but will enjoy re-living it here!
Seriously considering the Nuxe for January...😄

@OchonAgusOchonOh i haven’t yet started the Waifs and Strays thread, but will do so shortly and post a link on here.

General waifs and strays opening thread is here:

Just for info:
I tried to see if the Lumene calendar stacks with any other discount codes, but it removes their own offer of an additional 15% wys £50 if you add your own code. I might have been tempted to get another one if the code had worked alongside their offer!
You can get it for £52 using the 20% code: LUMENE20TEACH.

£52 is brilliant for that I think, altho I bought it at the £55 mark. I love the brand and those are great travel sizes

Ive just had a lovely surprise - when I went into the dining room, there was a big box sitting on the table with a Jo Malone calendar inside! ☺️. It's my birthday next week so this is a joint birthday and Xmas present from my husband. He's bought me one in the past, but I wasn't expecting it this year. He got the date wrong and thought today was the 1st 😆

That's really nice of him @Growlybear83 .

Happy birthday in advance.

That’s lovely @Growlybear83 Enjoy!

Oooohhhh, if that's the 24 day calendar it's such a pretty box! Your husband is a keeper! Enjoy!

I'm really excited! Mind you, it's taken nearly 50 years to get him trained 😆😆

I've got a homemade advent to look forward to, I got a Selfridges beauty box a while ago and asked my husband to put it into an old advent calendar box. I can't remember what was in the beauty box so it will all be a nice surprise! And because it didn't have 24 things in my husband has bought a couple of little bits and bobs to fill the other boxes.
Otherwise we've got Degustabox to open together as I've loved the threads in previous years and seeing all the random foodstuffs that were included!

Happy Birthday! What a fantastic present - enjoy!

Happy Birthday @Growlybear83 . Your husband sounds amazing what a lovely thoughtful thing to do

Has anyone started a Harrods opening thread?

How lovely @Growlybear83 - have a lovely birthday!

What a lovely surprise, @Growlybear83!

I shall join in on waifs and strays.

I'll be joining you xx

Ohh lucky you! What a lovely surprise ❤️

I mentioned previously that the GlossyBox I ordered on a whim in the middle of the night arrived with most contents missing.

GB have ignored my requests to cancel the ‘auto renew’ subscription that I seem to have clicked on in error, and I can’t see anywhere on the site that will let me cancel myself.

They have also sent me a three page PDF document that I am going to have to find some way of printing off about the missing items. I will then have to take pictures of this form and send it back. Then they will consider my request.

I am disgusted with them.

I have to give details of the missing items, but I only have a blurry picture on the website. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a list of what is supposed to be in the November box?

Thanks, (and sorry for the rant!)
