🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS*** THREAD 8

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

I purchased that too, I thought it was a bargain as the scents come to around 100ml in total 🙂

Me too and it has a few in that I've been wanting to try 😊

Oh dear, me too 😆😆

🤣🤣
I also signed up to the seasonal scents subscription box. I was just thinking last night about how well I've done to not spend this week 🤣
I noticed on my email confirmation though that by signing up, I've got the essence Deluxe discovery box for free 🤔 I think.

Looks like you can get the Marks and Spencer advent for £60 with no minimum spend now.
Anyone else getting slightly excited that we are almost in November and loads of advents still available. I think we may be seeing some great discounts soon . On my I could be tempted list is John Lewis, Elle and You beauty and possibly Selfridges but I have bought most of what I wanted from there on Vinted so probably not now

I might watch another m&s unboxing and decide if I actually want it. Now that the gift sets and edits are coming out, I think I'm OK with my 6 advent calendars for now 🤣 (in my defence, there's only 2x 25 day ones, 3 are fragrance calendars, and 1 is the Harrods 12 day h&b 🤣). I think the only one that could really get me to buy is the next premium.

I think only one on my list if it gets reduced is John Lewis. This could change depending on how good reductions are but I think I did finally hit some kind of BAC fatigue earlier this month. 😂

I am a bit excited, but I’ll hold fire until after the pay day buzz. Cult Beauty has been emailing me saying they’re down to their last units but cynical old me think that’s them trying to lock down people for pay day spend. If there’s still some mid next week then I think we’ll see discounts.

M&S really blew it this year imo ... raising both the price of the calendar AND the minimum spend for something that was very samey samey to last years.

Thank you @JoRaRaRa I did the same ! A real bargain 🥳🙂

I agree. M&S used to be a must have as it didn’t cost masses and provided great value but with the hike in price and qualifying spend it’s a purchase that has to be more carefully thought out now.

I had fomo and also signed up . It is also showing as a free box on my order . Do we think they will fulfil or cancel ???

I've had an email to say that my order has been processed already, so fingers crossed it's not getting cancelled 😊

Can’t wait to see reductions next week. I think that once we get to November 1st, whatever is left will be reduced further

Thanks @MrsBnow12 I’ve shared this to my friends they will probably be wondering about the pile on 😂

Did you get it free just from signing up or did you use a code? X

From signing up. I signed up to the newsletter and received a 15% off code which I entered at check out and saw the amount go down. I then decided to go see what other boxes they did and that's when I saw the subscription box and added that. In my head, I'd worked out the cost so I didn't really look at how much I was paying, plus it was before coffee so I struggle to make sense of anything 🤣 it was only afterwards when I noticed that the box had gone through as free.

🎁🎄Eve Lom has 30% off its website, including the advent calendar making it £157 with code OCT30 🎅🎉

I'm tempted as I like it all but I'm not sure I need anything else 🤣

I'm very envious of the freebie with your sign up - I signed up a month ago and purchased a different discovery box but just got 15% off the total order 😭

Oh, maybe we'll be contacted to pay for it then. Have you received the autumn box? I wondered if maybe it's the same box?

I've had my confirmation e mail . Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

I ordered the Perfume Society box a couple of days ago (and paid normally for it). It’s just arrived and I’m really pleased with it. Everything is properly boxed and nicely presented.

@AprilLady oh wow! Thank you for sharing, that looks amazing!! 😍 I'm so much more excited about it now! How long did it take to arrive from ordering?

@AprilLady, that looks lovely , have you tried any yet ?

Autumn box is different - there is an unboxing video here if you don't mind spoilers:
