The cult beauty perfume stocking seems to have found it ibto my basket as well 😆. That’s really it for me this year. Unless the Liberty men’s calendar is reduced.

😂😂 If I start seeing discounts then the temptation will probably get the better of me!

I actually feel like it would have to be a really good discount to convince me to buy. I'm not spending as much as I was a month or 2 ago. Although, that's probably because I've bought nearly everything 🤣🤣

I did confess to my husband how many ACs I've bought, but it was when a show was about to start, so he couldn't react and I couldn't see his face 🤣

I think it's time for a RHOBAC montage sequence of us all saying variations on "that's me done for this year" knowing it's probably not the case. 😂

I’ve just gone for the Cult fragrance stocking too. Bargain at £25.50 (thank you @OvaHere ) and even more of a bargain as it’s made me realise that I don’t want/need the HN fragrance calendar that’s been sat in my basket all weekend awaiting (the elusive to me) 25% discount. I’m totally done now as well, unless Fenwicks has a 50% discount or an amazing GWP bag filled to the brim with goodies miraculously attaches itself to the calendar. Both scenarios highly unlikely so for once I think I’ve got through this advent season ‘in credit’ hahaha

Oh I hadn’t realised CB has also sold out. I am surprised Selfridges is still in stock because didn’t that sell out v quickly last year? 🤔 I also thought Sephora wouldn’t be in stock for long.

I've bought quite a lot from the sephora calendar, I probably would've been better of buying it and then selling what I didn't want. Oh well! I think that 1 will be the next one to sell out, as I think it attracts to both teens and adults. We should've all been having guesses / bets about which one will sell out next 🤣

🤣🤣 Definitely!! I know I'm not done as I want the tried and tested box from CB 😍 but I think I've said that a few times now.

Am I being stupid but is the CB crackers actually stockings or should there be crackers too or have I missed them? Xx

I was planning on getting that one but looks like it's the only one they're not shipping to Ireland 🙁

This is a masterpiece and I’m gutted I can’t sew to copy!

QueefofSheena · 03/11/2025 09:33

I went for the CB makeup stocking. For once I was able to resist the perfume.

I know it’s unlikely, but I’d get the Vogue AC if it’s discounted. I’m sorely tempted at full price

Sexentric · 03/11/2025 09:33

God id love that Vigue one too. No way I can justify the price though

They are even more amazing in real life . Today is gonna be a good day , I have cushions and I have parcels being delivered and prawns for lunch 😋

Puravida23 · 03/11/2025 09:36

@Caramelandsalt That is amazing so beautiful and what a great idea . I almost wish I had the advent just to have a go at making one ( I'm have no sewing skills it would be a car crash!)

Growlybear83 · 03/11/2025 09:38

@Caramelandsalt What a lovely idea!! I have been wondering what to do with my big bag, but im not sure my sewing skills are good enough.

I think it was probably me calling them crackers 🤦‍♀️ Getting mixed up with everything that’s out there but they’re definitely stockings, no crackers available as far as I know 😂

LoveLabradors · 03/11/2025 09:47

I got the cult beauty perfume stocking too! Despite having JL AC with perfume in it and husband has bought me the space nk fragrance for Christmas too! I had £10 credit plus the code so couldn’t resist! Held off the make up as unsure about the lip colours and rose gold shadow wouldn’t suit me and have been v unimpressed with the westman eye pencil which I got in a previous edit! But if the colours suit people it’s a great buy!

OkyDoke · 03/11/2025 09:51

Thanks all, managed to get the Boots skincare calender for £56.70 as had a 10% off voucher on my card and STARGIFT10 worked too, and had a points offer so got £5.53 of points too. Bargain.
