I have just picked up my bargain Zelens power D serum and my little tub of Neals Yard lift cream. I am pleased with them both but really should stop buying any more from Vinted!

I've just noticed someone trying to sell the Zelens Power D 30ml for £100 on Vinted. You'd think folk would do their research first. I think most seem to be listed at around the thirty quid mark. I got mine for £15 after seeing you (I think it was you) picked one up for a tenner. Very happy with mine plus my Frankincense intense cream

Went to pre-order the Flannels Men’s fragrance box for a bargainous £39….then saw that the p & p is £7…very disappointing. I’m out.

@RainbowZebraWarrior @shinny I've loved creating my Frankenstein advent calendar buying up things on vinted from other people's advent calendars 😍 I'm actually sad that it's now full 🤣 Although I think my husband and bank are relieved 🤣

I'm definitely doing this next year 😊 Seeing as I already have some nice boxes. The Glossybox will be a good one to refill I think. DD is currently refilling last years bitterly disappointing for me White Company one for me. Although I think she may have mostly filled it with Pokemon cards and crystals (which is fine, as we both collect, but it will be a bonus if I find a nice beauty product!)

Does anyone know how to get a discount on the OK advent? I heard of people being offered a voucher on TikTok, but nothing every comes up for me

Not a clue. The discount evades me, too. On the main 'shop' page on TikTok if you search OK beauty advent, it seems to come up as £89 instead of £99 but I was hoping for a better deal. Will post if I see one. Fingers crossed.

But if you use code FF20 it takes 20% off and then ends up at £35 including postage.

Really? £100! They are crazy if they think they will get that!!
£15 is a good price as it retails at a hefty £120! I am envious of you finding the big pot of Neals Yard intense for £20. I could only find a tiny 15ml pot for a good price as the few larger ones on there were all £50 plus.

Thanks @psuedocream3
I’m back in 🤣

ElizabethG81 · 22/10/2025 19:36

Just got excited by an email from Fenwick saying they’re doing a free beauty bag with purchase. Went to look and it’s literally just a bag 😂

pinkchampagne1 · 22/10/2025 19:50

I have just looked and it is indeed just a bag with nothing inside! 😐

Awww that is so cute 😍 I love when others spend the time to do something like that, it really is lovely - heart has gone all warm 🩷🤣

Yeah, I think I'm going to do a diy one again next year. It's been really fun doing it, I am sad it's done but also glad that it's done early enough for me to forget about it 😊

HollyGolightly4 · 22/10/2025 20:02

Ha at the Fenwick! Not quite the gwp we were hoping for!

ElizabethG81 · 22/10/2025 20:07

Hopefully they’re teasing us and are going to fill it in a few days 😭😂

LightandBreezy · 22/10/2025 20:07

I just read that email and came here to check it really was just a bag 😂 And the 1500 points you'd earn is equivalent to... £7.

Sexentric · 22/10/2025 17:41

I think im going to go for the John Lewis one. Has anyone got it? If so were you pleased with it?

I have it and I’m really happy with it. I will use the majority and gift a few bits from it. The box is lovely too

edit as I questioned if it was beauty or fragrance, then realised they didn’t do a fragrance one…I’ve bought too many 😅

That’s really sweet 🥰

I’d love for someone to do that for me. I planned to do it for DS but he’s swiped half of the fragrances already so he can decide which one he wants a big bottle of for Xmas 😅

Was it the Sephora collection advent calendar? It's £54.99 on Sephora atm and aimed at teens so I can imagine it being on tik tok shop.

Off to look at flannels fragrance crackers now. Does anyone think the Cult Beauty fragrance edits will come back in stock? I'd like to get my mum one of them

No it was the proper one with Summer Fridays etc in , not the own brand cheaper one. It had a video showing drawer contents . I know it will be a scam , just wondered if anyone else has spotted it

But you could have more than one item in each drawer? 😆😆

It has 46 items in it 😳🤣 I don't know if it's going to even survive until December 1st, it's threatening to burst 🤣

I can’t believe it is just an empty bag they are offering with a £100 + spend! Last year it was the bag filled with beauty products
