Joining in. Looking forward chatting to all of you about our beauty finds!

Housewife2010 · 30/11/2024 16:23

Thank you. Our AC's are all lined up and waiting for the morning!

LightandBreezy · 30/11/2024 16:23

Me too! I did swap out a product when I first bought the calendar but other than that mine has been untouched since September despite some temptation.

I have not opened it / peeked since I’m bought it

its been sitting on my dresser and I can’t wait for tomorrow

happy opening day everyone

MyStylish40s · 30/11/2024 16:31

Thank you @LightandBreezy 🎄

Mine has been sitting on my dresser since September (or was it October, I seem to remember a delay) 😉

Looking forward to opening along with you all each morning!

Funnily enough, I remember what tomorrow’s is (I won’t spoil) but can’t remember much after that.

EachandEveryone · 30/11/2024 16:33

Oh I’m here. Third year running and I have no clue whats in it.

dottyaboutstripes · 30/11/2024 16:44

I've just realised that tomorrow is December! Life's suddenly gone a bit bonkers as I've fractured my ankle but this is something to cheer me up 😊
I've genuinely got no clue what's in any of the drawers

GinandGingerBeer · 30/11/2024 16:49

Marking place Xmas Blush
Thanks for the thread. I think there's only one product I can remember!

mrspk · 30/11/2024 16:49

Can't wait, I haven't peeked and can hardly remember any of the contents.

TreesinthePark · 30/11/2024 17:42

Thank you @LightandBreezy , mine is setup in my bedroom ready for tomorrow!

SaidItFromMyCoffin · 30/11/2024 17:50

Looking forward to my daily treats! My 12 year old daughter is also excited to snag anything that would be better suited to her!

After several years of beauty box / advent excess I had a big sort out this year, made a pact not to buy anything (which I’ve stuck to) and sold products I wouldn’t use. That made me enough to buy this years calendar and I’ve used up so much stuff that I am really looking forward to some new things to enjoy!

Joining just to be nosy and follow along.

Joining just to be nosy and follow along.

I might do that with the Liberty one 😂

thetimeisnow · 30/11/2024 18:52

Joining in!
I also swapped a couple of drawers.
I have no recollection of any of the items!

LightandBreezy · 30/11/2024 19:33

I feel like I'm more excited about this than usual, not sure if that's due to the 5 month build-up reading the advent calendar discussion thread??

Looking forward to tomorrow

Talisin · 30/11/2024 20:48

I can usually remember at least two or three items from my initial comparison look-up ,but this year I have no memory whatsoever of the contents, which is fun. Anticpating tomorrow!

WeAreBorg · 30/11/2024 20:50

I shall join, thank you for the thread!
So excited for the grand opening tomorrow!

Zeusrules · 30/11/2024 21:59

I'm very excited for tomorrow, just got to find mine. I've never had the Space NK one before. Eek

TheChosenTwo · 30/11/2024 22:50

Thanks OP! Have to say it’s not my favourite offering of theirs over the years but contains a alright mix of products including a few of my staples so made good financial sense for me to buy this.
I added something into the last day as i found it very underwhelming but I genuinely can’t remember what I put in now so I’m really excited about it 😂

LightandBreezy · 30/11/2024 23:17

@TheChosenTwo thats really interesting - I've probably been getting higher-end beauty advents for about 4 years now but not been drawn to a Space NK calendar before - please let me know what you've loved previously and (at the end to avoid spoilers ) what your staples are this year. I also chose it for some products I regularly use plus some fun bits I wanted to try. A lot of serums/ moisturisers don't interest me so much nowadays as I've found the ones I really love that work for me so I'm unwilling to deviate!

Big welcome to @Talisin @bengalcat @Zeusrules @WeAreBorg @SaidItFromMyCoffin @GinandGingerBeer @thetimeisnow and @OvaHere (I'm also joining the waifs and strays and Liberty threads for vicarious joys btw) sorry if you weren't initially tagged I just randomly skimmed an earlier advent calendar thread for names.

andrinaballerina · 01/12/2024 07:29

Good morning! Marking my place to join in. I have sold some bits that I know I won't use so have had a peek (but can't remember anything). I like how they listed the contents in alphabetical order this year to keep the surprise.
Not sure about the first offering...

Decklededge · 01/12/2024 07:29

I’m really excited to have SpaceNK this year. Two years ago, I got John Lewis at a discount but last year I waited too long and missed out on a luxury advent calendar.
So this time I’ve splashed out on the one I wanted most.
I’m not sure when we’re allowed to give spoilers so I won’t but I have opened the first door.
I haven’t tried one of their products before and shall use it today though it doesn’t feel very seasonal! I quite like it but I don’t buy into the hype around this.

Jeez that hyperlink added automatically- sorry. Nothing to do with me.
