The CB limited edition AC is back in stock for anyone interested.

Not showing for me. I didn’t receive an email either about restock. How did you know?

Is that the wreath one or the rectangle box?

The wreath, I was tempted to buy to add to my stash but I’d want to order online so I didn’t have to commute home with it… 😂

I just had an email about it, only a few minutes before I posted, but I can see it’s gone again now.

If you're using the 10% off on the boots advent, it's worth checking your advantage card offers, I have an extra 10% off and £7 extra points. Also should be 8.5% back on topcashback so roughly £10 cashback. I'm slightly tempted as the points and cashback make this around £100 but... I don't think I can justify the spend

My extra points couldn't be used on the skincare advent x

Growlybear83 · 31/10/2025 16:33

I’ve just received my Perfume Society box and I’m really pleased with it. It’s really good value!

Do we think the JL advent calendar will get discounted? I know it's a gamble but I havent bought it yet and I'm tempted to leave it a few more days (at my own risk!)

It’s hard to predict. It has been discounted around BF before by around 15% but last year it sold out beforehand.

I am wondering if the Fenwick calendar might get reduced. I don’t need it myself but my friend is on the look out for one to share with her teenage daughter. She wants one with plenty of fragrance, some good skincare and some make up for her daughter. She isn’t fussed about eye creams, otherwise I would have suggested JL, but Fenwick might be a good choice for her.

I see the Bridal Beauty Company has a luxe Christmas edition for £150. It is apparently worth £700. I am not sure I would use them again after last year’s hash up though.

I got that email. I was sorely tempted as it appears to have the Medik8 Advanced Peptides in it but then I had a stern word with myself because I have one sat in a BAC.

I was trying to work out what the Medik8 product was but it was flicking through the contents too quickly for me to make it out. Is that the serum that is in the Space NK?

Cyclingmummy1 · 31/10/2025 17:22

If Fenwick is reduced i could be tempted. Particularly as they are still offering a free bag online!!

Yes. As far as I can tell. I had to watch a few times and it made me a bit woozy but I'm fairly sure it's the Advanced Peptides. The video embedded in the email is slightly different to the one on the website. One of them made it a bit easier to see.

Tbh it looks like a decent line up of products but I'm trying not to buy any more edits this year, or BACs unless John Lewis gets a crazy discount.

I thought the dodgy bag had sold out. 😆

It isn’t a bad calendar and has a good mix of products so it would be good if it does get reduced. There does seem to be more calendars still available than this time last year

I thought it might be that one but couldn’t quite make it out. Looks like an Estée Lauder product, an Elizabeth Arden 8 hour set and a Sunday Riley Luna oil included too.

Caramelandsalt · 31/10/2025 17:48

I've had an e mail from dx my perfume should ve delivered Monday

IDontHateRainbows · 31/10/2025 17:53

Ah is it Dx, I had an email but wasn't sure what it was. I ordered the, ahem, 'free' perfume box. Someone in head office is sure to be wondering why so many orders so suddenly!

I had the same message for Monday delivery

@OvaHere @pinkchampagne1I tried to screenshot the email as the pictures moved so fast and made my head feel fuzzy.
I think both the Medik8 and Dyson are same products that are in the SNK BAC. The hand wash set is Jurlique, let’s hope they match after the previous Jurlique mess.
i could make out a Charlotte Tilbury setting spray and agree re the SR Luna although the Instagram post showed an orange box which would indicate a CEO product.

I have gone for it, it was on my potential list and is my last edit/BAC unless there are some crazy discounts

I thought it looked an interesting box but after my last couple of orders I don’t think I would be willing to risk spending that much with BBC.

Branster · 31/10/2025 18:58

Yes it looks like the Advanced Liquid Peptides for BBC. If the images are a true representation, then a very good AC. Sadly I shall refrain from ordering, after all the random nonsense from them. It's like a really hot boyfriend who's mostly shit in bed but once a year delivers the right performance. Not enough to keep me interested after trying for so long 😂

When is this BF? I forget every year. I actually need a really good vacuum cleaner. Why are there so many beauty offers at the moment?

Ive ordered and hoping it's worth £150 as its a lot for a mystery box x

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it!!!!

Branster · 31/10/2025 19:18

@JoRaRaRa I bet BBC will not be using this in one of their made up reviews! Someone on here who ordered had their name used against an invented review

HollyGolightly4 · 31/10/2025 19:34

Annoyed boots is reduced! I really thought it would have sold out by now. I did get £10 points though, so not terrible.

I don't think they'll reduce John Lewis, based on no evidence whatsoever 🤣

@BransterThat is hilarious but sums them up perfectly
