someone has made a fuck-up here.
Fenwick usually have really good beauty bag GWPS

Is the bag the autumn gwp we've all been waiting for?

Perhaps for the best, I can do without something tipping me into another BAC.

JoRaRaRa · 22/10/2025 22:29

I'm really sad that I haven't been sent the email, I wanna see the bag 🤣🤣

I put the BAC in the basket and it added the bag. You're not missing much 😂

Fenwick has clearly lost the plot

JoRaRaRa · 22/10/2025 22:41

I feel like they're going to correct it over the next few days to say that there is actually something inside the bag. It can't just be a bag, can it?! 🤣🤣🤣

Thelifeofawife · 22/10/2025 22:44

Well, I’m relieved by the Fenwicks bag; it’s good to know that I’ve not completely lost the plot, I was slightly concerned that my recent excessive purchases meant that I would buy pretty much anything! 🤣
Also, well done @JoRaRaRa for resisting 🤣

pinkchampagne1 · 22/10/2025 23:04

They always have a seasonal beauty gwp. They had a summer beauty bag filled with things and usually do a good autumn/winter one. I can’t believe they are offering just the empty bag! No one is going to be tempted to spend over £100 on beauty to get that! 🥺

Growlybear83 · 22/10/2025 23:36

JoRaRaRa · 22/10/2025 21:28

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 🤣

🤣🤣🤣. That’s quite a lot of items. BUT you’ve not got two in every drawer 🤭

RainbowZebraWarrior · 23/10/2025 07:07

That Fenwick bag is a bit of a head scratcher! Is anyone near a Fenwick today? I could possibly get to one by lunchtime and ask to see it. I'm sure on the website it actually says 'beauty gift set' but perhaps they haven't added the details yet? <grasps at straws>

Some of our favourite beauty retailers are leading us a right merry dance this season!

Ordered the flannels fragrance cracker from HOF yesterday with £10 next day delivery and it's not even despatched yet. i'm away at the weekend hence why I asked for ndd. Not impressed but at least I may get the tenner back which will bring the price down to £31.90 or something.

I'm surprised that bag hasn't sent us over the edge 🤣 well done to us 🎉🎊 Fenwick ac has not really been on my radar, I might have to do a quick analysis and decide if I maybe do want it 🤣

I don't think they have them yet. From Flannels they've kept pushing the date forward. I think the last date we were given was the 24th. I assume it's the same for HoF.

This is true. I think I need to review it and see where I might need some extras 🤣 some have 3 things in so there's even more with only 1 in 😱 I do also have a box of stuff that I couldn't fit into the AC 🙈 I went a bit mad on makeup brushes, I bought the spectrum brushes out of the LF calendar, some hourglass brushes, a la mer powder brush and the evidens special brush for the mask, oops! They're all still in their boxes and in another box now, oh no, I'm becoming my mum 😳😱

Just seen email about 4 x Liberty Xmas kits

When I reordered for the third time 🙈🤣 it said that the earliest they'll deliver them is next Thursday. Not sure if that means there's another delay or if they just had so many orders on Tues and yesterday. My dior stuff has been processed though 🎊🎉

Stowickthevast · 23/10/2025 08:08

@JoRaRaRa I had Fenwicks a couple of years ago when I think they reduced it by 50% so it was super cheap. The box was beautiful and a couple of good products, e g a Frederic Malle 7ml perfumev which made it work for me. But the vast majority of things were tiny and I would have been annoyed had I paid full price. So unless they've massively improved it, I wouldn't bother.

Yes, it has the full size thameen in, I remember not paying any attention to it as I already have that perfume in my harrods FAC. I've just done a quick review and there's some products I like the sound of, but not enough to buy at full price. I do think quite a few will get reduced this year 🤞 so maybe if it goes down to £150ish, I'll buy it. We'll see...
