🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS*** THREAD 6

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

Its £5 off £30 spend. Not really all that golden.

What is PDM please? I feel like I should know after religiously following these threads but I’m stumped!

Parfums de Marly, it’s a gorgeous advent calendar

More like brass 😂
Tbh I don't really shop in JL so not expecting mine to be much better, that is if I get one at all

I’ve ordered the JL calendar and used my £10 reward, also got £5 off a £50 spend with the golden ticket.

I’ve ordered JL now. I got £5 off a £50 spend from the golden ticket, which I may use towards the Winter box which I’ve been debating over, but I’ll wait for now.

The Aldi one is a great little treat, I hope I manage to get hold of one. I’ve tried a few of the products and really like them

OK Beauty Advent Calendar back in stock 🎉🎄🎁💄

I'm not too keen on aldi products, I've tried a few but they seem to make me itchy 😕 I did a right haul during covid and then threw it all away 🙈

LiB available:

it’s not tempting to me. This might be the year I only have 1 😮

Ooh now I am loving this! I think I'd use everything. Only £120 and not a hair clip in sight.

Ditto. I've never got on with any of their dupes. I used to get all excited with the hype and rush out and buy, then be awfully disappointed. I just ignore anything by Aldi now as I know my skin probably won't like it.

P.S. Forgot to reply the other day about Metro Centre. It only opens at 11 on a Sunday and I don't think there's a Dior counter there any more. At least it doesn't come up on the Dior counter finder. We do have three Dior counters in Newcastle though (Boots, John Lewis and Fenwick)

It looks nice 😊 there's a few things I'd use but probably not even 50% of it so definitely not enough to make me buy it. I wouldn't mind trying the fable and mane hair oil 😍

Yep, me too. The only aldi thing I've bought which I do still use is the clear lip gloss thing that was a dupe of dior, I don't react to it and I use it over lipstick so I don't mind the applicator getting dirty with it being cheap 🤣

Oh thanks about the dior, I did have a feeling it had gone as it didn't come up as dior being available there. I probably shouldn't get another blush anyway, but it does mean I need to think of something else to buy 🤔 I've just bought some guerlain setting powder and a night cream, I could've bought those there 🤦🏻‍♀️ ffs! The 10% rewards weekend got me excited! 🤣

It’s a good price- glad you like it.

There isn’t much I’d use- so holding out for edits now.

I quite like LiB. Not enough to buy it but it's a nice curation. Anyone thinking of buying it there's bound to be some discount codes show up for this one so don't jump in unless it's the BAC of your dreams and you're very worried about missing out. Didn't some people get them on Tik Tok shop last year for very good prices?

I got it for £93 last year on the TikTok shop, I placed my order 28 November so that’s around Black Friday time.
I am sure some people got it for under £80 but I couldn’t find the codes or get that to work.

The OK a/c is better than I remember and very good for £99.

However, too many DODs for me:

False eyelashes
Lash serum
The two Cetaphil products
The nail varnish - terrible colour
Lipstick looks too orangey

I ordered some Filorga eye cream from Allbeauty.com at some ungodly hour last night as it had 50% off, so I shouldn’t be buying anything else anyway.

They had the Shiseido eye cream for a brilliant price but I restrained myself.

Thanks @MrsBnow12 I knew I hadn't imagined that. I'm trying not to buy anything now in anticipation of some getting reduced around BF. I'll make an exception for SNK Fragrance if it's good enough.

I have two left on my maybe list and then I am done, I have £100 SNK Indulge points so the fragrance one is on my radar and then if Stylekorean release one I may be tempted, none of the other k beauty ones have appealed.
I can’t get the PDM out my head so may get that one next month, this month has been far too spendy with other advents.

Thanks for the tip off, I have just ordered the Filorga Meso Mask. I first tried it in one of the very early M&S beauty advents and couldn't believe the instant effect.

I wanted to have a good look on the rest of the site but really should be getting to work!

@TreesinthePark - glad you were able to get a bargain.

I also got introduced to Filorga via M&S calendar - my item was a brilliant wrinkle serum but I think it was discontinued by the time I got round to using it and I couldn’t work out its replacement.

Btw: The Allbeauty payday sale is still on today and BEAUTY10 takes another 10% off:

Apparently I’m a winner in the LIB advent 29.99 off. Hmmmm

@AlPaccacino me too, what a coincidence!

Me too, £50 off - not sure though as I have enough.
