🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS*** THREAD 7

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

Have ordered the Liberty one as a gift. I am SO excited for it to arrive. I know the recipient will love it. I wish I could keep it!

Has anyone tried the HN 12 days of fragrance one? I feel like I'm going mad because it definitely has more than 12 items in the description. WTH?

I’ve got HN Fragrance, some drawers have two items

Oh wow. I really want it. Can't justify it really. Do you think it's worth it?

@Sexentric I have the HN fragrance. I think it has a great range and as mentioned it does have 2 items in some drawers.
I also bought the Space NK fragrance but I like more from the HN, despite it having smaller sizes I think it’s well worth it

Just seen the StyleKorean unboxing online. Disappointed with the contents as it was the one I was holding out for. Never mind..

@Sexentric i also have the HN fragrance advent calendar. Like others have said, there's a lot of double doors and there's a lot to like in there. It's a great calendar, I'm so pleased with it 😍

Oh do I order the JL heroes box? I don’t need it but it is good value and has some nice things in. It’s in my basket just in case!

Yes, do it 😈 I initially wanted that one but it sold out so fast. I ended up ordering the luxe one when that came back into stock.

My no buying on vinted didn't last long 😕 last night someone uploaded stuff from their JL ac, I managed to get the portrait of a lady perfume, versace crystal noir perfume and the rituals shower foam for £25, which was too much of a bargain to resist. I then bought a 10ml pdm oriana from someone on ebay for £30.

I also ended up buying Murad retinol gift set, so the serum and night cream, for £29 from showcase. Harrods sell it for £103 so i felt I got a really good deal there.

Wow, you did really well there! When you see bargains like that then you have to snap them up! I love the POAL perfume - it is one of my favourites. Were the JL items in a bundle?

Going back to check out the JL box! 😁

Yes, I bundled them up and then offered £25 and the lady accepted 🥳 I did manage to resist the Medik8 night cream, I do already have it in my diy calendar and I've bought the JL and CB edits so I'm proud of myself for resisting 🤣

I saw the poal perfume on vinted just after the JL calendar had been released but I didn't want to blind buy. By the time I'd smelt it in HN, most of them had been sold and there were only the expensive ones left. It is a really nice perfume so I'm pleased I've managed to get it at a good price. I'm going to withdraw my balance and hopefully I will stop spending 🤞🤣

Has anyone received the festive mystery box with the OK BAC? I am wondering what is in it!

Is this the Summer heroes box?

It is the beauty heroes box. It was unavailable but has suddenly come back in stock.
Am pondering as to whether I actually need it as I have quite a few eye creams and lots of moisturisers coming in my Harrods advent, but it does look exciting and beauty bargains are my weakness! 😳

Morning ladies - does anyone remember whether the JL advent calendar is normally discounted? I feel like I got maybe 20% off a couple of years ago when I bought it but didn't have one last year. Not sure whether to hold out or bite the bullet - it's got a good mix of things that I either know I like it would like to try. I think it's better for me than Liberty's.

Ooh, I can't find it - is there a link? 😃

It has been reduced around Black Friday before (I think there was a 15% discount in 2023) but there was no discount last year and I think it sold out by BF.

You do sometimes get a coupon in your rewards. I have one atm for £10 off £160 which could be used but I am being strong and not ordering any more calendars!

Are you a reward member? It is under the rewards section.

Obviously not enough of a member as it's not showing in my rewards 😪

It’s this one. It’s in the ‘rewards and benefits’ section and they are all listed under your coupons.

Drat! I missed out on the Boots £10 Tuesday deal on PK Elasticiser….down from £30.
I wonder whether the deals go live at midnight?

Sorry, photo didn’t load as my WIFI is slow

Well, funny you should ask as I decided to stay up late to get first dibs on £10 Tuesday this week and it went live just after 2am, so I'm a teensy bit tired this morning.

Is JL John Lewis?
