Beauty advent calendars 2024 #7

Only a few days to go until the doors open.

Please share thoughts, discussions and any last minute discounts!

Is anyone doing a Sephora thread?

I was just scrolling this thread thinking no one else has the Liberty one. I do :). I save my monthly Beauty Drop Subscription money and use that.

I also wait until the 1st of December to start opening it. I'm old fashioned like that and I still like surprises even though I'm in my sixties x

I need to set up my advent corner all ready for tomorrow and find where I have hidden the calendars!

We’ve got to put the tree up first, so I will be opening after that. Very exciting!

I ordered one this morning. 😊

Thanks @LivinInYourBigGlassHouseWithAView - I will tell my DSis too!

Is there a Selfridges opening thread or will that be waifs and strays?

Has everyone decamped to openings threads now? Did anyone but vogue? I want to follow opening of that one.

Happy 1st December, I hope everyone is enjoying the day

@FredaFox please come join us on Waifs and Strays. Would love to see what is in Selfridges.

A big thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread!

I am off to Waifs and Strays!

I'm on waifs and strays, would also love to see a vogue opener!

Sisley Advent Calendar has 20% off on Harvey Nicks now a bargain £512 😂

Latest in Beauty appears to be struggling to shift their ACs, so now including an additional collection 'free' with a code. Might interest some?

Yes they were trying to sell them for just over £70 on TikTok on Black Friday

Hearst Magazines Beauty Boxes are reduced. The Harper's Bazaar one looks quite good albeit the most expensive still.

I'm guessing LiB massively overstocked as it's not a bad calendar, quite good value compared to others around the same price range that sold out weeks ago.

I'm surprised really unless they hugely over ordered. It's not amazing but not terrible either unless like me you've over indulged in other boxes and already have quite a few of the products.

When I did my original analysis some months ago, LIB was easiest the bottom of the pile for me - haven’t been tempted even on the day I could get it for £75 on TikTok. Not nearly as good as the 2022 or 2023 calendars.

LiB is definitely targeting the younger TikTok generation anyway, which is probably why it doesn’t appeal to “middle class women of certain age”, like me.

LiB advent is £75 on the Insidescoop TikTok shop (no GWP obviously). Seems to be a voucher everyone can use, as even I can add it, and I normally can't access the lowest prices 😂

No sign of my Grüum calendar. I had hoped it might arrive yesterday despite the lack of updates to the tracking status since it shipped on Wednesday.

I'm not terribly impressed. Shipping calendars to international addresses 4 days, which includes a weekend, before the start of advent is really poor. There is absolutely no way it could have arrived in time. I ordered it a month ago so no reason for it to be late.

At least I have H&B.

FINALLY got the space nk code to work. Managed to get a bottle of byredo down from £150 to £103 using points and codes.not sure how long it is still working it's EXTRA2024 for anyone still shopping.

That damn code still won't work for me, I've tried several times/ days

The upside to that being I've not spent any money over BF!

I'm not sure if it is meant to, but it's working on non reduced items too.
