@JoRaRaRa you definitely needed treats.
SoaceNK and Harrods.

@Christmaschristmas I think it is a different discount for everyone as it gave me 15% off. I've already purchased the ASOS advent with a previous discount.

Christmaschristmas · 13/10/2025 09:34

@Evergreen21 I thought it might be a different discount, which is really annoying of them!

I've already bought it too with 25% off I think it was, really looking forward to it arriving.

Evergreen21 · 13/10/2025 09:35

The RANDOM discount code works on the benefit calendar if you purchase from ASOS. Definitely worth having a look if you were considering it.

I quite like eyeshadow sticks, they're really quick to use and it's in taupe so really easy to wear. I've not had a bobbi brown one though so I'm looking forward to using it. I tend to wear taupe like colours for work so I think for me it'll be good.
They had the rodial blush drops in last year's AC and I only used them once, my face looked so greasy 😐 so I sold that along with the lipstick.
I think it's weird that they've put so much hair stuff in when they have the hair and body calendar. I will use it all though apart from the scrub which I'll gift to my sister. I think an hair oil would have been nice and more versatile then the hair milk.

I've just started using the Rodial blush drops and I absolutely love them. A little goes a very long way, but they make my skin look so healthy and glowy and I've had a lot of compliments. I was surprised to see you were selling them, but if you've tried them before that makes sense. I guess it probably also depends on skin type, other products etc, but I prefer the drops to my Hourglass blush (which I also love, but for a different look). I've been checking Vinted for the Soft Focus glow drops from HN but so far they're v v overpriced IMO.

Oh yes, good spot and the Nuxe calendar too! Not that I need anymore calendars!

Linesman · 13/10/2025 09:46

Which calendar are the rodial drops on?

XelaM · 13/10/2025 09:51

Sorry for the stupid question but what is the RABDOM discount code for ASOS?

The discount code is the word RANDOM. It then allocates a discount up to 25% at checkout. I've just got 25%.

OvaHere · 13/10/2025 09:56

I'm not even going to look at what the discount is. I need more AC like a hole in the head. 😂

Yeah, I saw someone use them on insta and it made them look healthy and glowy, I was so excited to try them but I just looked like I'd not had a wash for a week 🤣

Thank you so much! I think with the 25% discount this is probably the best value calendar for a teenage girl. Just ordered it for my daughter 🤩 £76 is quite a bargain in comparison with similar calendars like Sephora, Boots etc.

Off the top of my head I think they're in HN and Glamour, but they might be in more. I got the apricot sorbet ones in the OK x Genevieve Turley beauty box and they look terrifying, but they're much less orange once applied!

OkyDoke · 13/10/2025 10:18

I think I want another advent calendar! Or edit maybe? Can anyone suggest one with a few nice serums in?

I think they’re Harrods ?

I have a full size unopened box of the glow drops from the LF Easter Egg. I have so many primers to use up from various boxes I'll probably never use these and I'm not a fan of anything with a dropper delivery system. If you want them PM me and I'll post them out to you.

The Face the Future edit would be good for that I think. As of last week they had a GWP that stacked with it too.

That's so kind of you! I'll PM you now

TreesinthePark · 13/10/2025 10:38

I will look at the ASOS calendar and see what % I get. But really the SNK fragrance and the CB edit with EGF serum are my "priorities" right now.

Hopefully not TMI but pest control did a second visit and vermin issue in my garden is under control so I feel like a treat to celebrate. And if it was still a problem I'd need a treat to cheer myself up!

Christmaschristmas · 13/10/2025 10:44

@TreesinthePark 🥳 You definitely deserve a treat to celebrate that!

QueefofSheena · 13/10/2025 10:50

I’m seriously considering Vogue. I like the jewellery, the beanie and the makeup/skincare. When I get back from my holiday I’m going to try the perfume sample I have again and give it some thought. It would be a good thing if it sold out before then though 😁

I posted an item with Yodel weeks ago and it still hasn’t been delivered.

I have noticed that Vinted seem to mainly use Evri now. Our local Tesco is getting rid of their Evri parcel service next month for some reason.

As a vinted seller, I disabled yodel and in post after the disastrous merger which meant a number of parcels got stuck. Whether or not the increased traffic on Evri is now causing problems, I don't know.

IDontHateRainbows · 13/10/2025 12:53

woo hooo my fenwick BAC is finally on the move and out for delivery, luckily my husband is WFH today and has been given strict instructions not to leave the house until it comes!

dc82 · 13/10/2025 13:11

The RANDOM code gave me 25% off at checkout, but not off the ASOS BAC. It says the BAC is not eligible for discounts on the listing now. Guessing they’ve clamped on that one, which I consider fate and saved me pennies 😆
