My mum popped into Canterbury while my dad was having his chemotherapy today and she has confirmed that the Fenwick bag is indeed an empty bag! 😐
She picked it up assuming it was full of products and was surprised to find it had absolutely nothing inside.

That’s ridiculous. I thought it was a mistake.

Hope you’re Dad is ok 💐

SoloCat · 23/10/2025 20:06

@Brightermornings I believe it’s a sign 😁

JoRaRaRa · 23/10/2025 20:13

@Brightermornings Buy it!!!!! 😁🎉🎊

Brightermornings · 23/10/2025 20:18

I hope your dad is doing OK 🩷 And thanks to your mum for doing some Fenwick investigation for us 🤣 I wonder who at Fenwick thought of it, do they really think we're all going to cave over an empty bag?! 🤣🤣 I can't cope!!

I wanted the Harrods 12 day calendar. I have a 25 day neom calendar so I’m not without

BakeOffRewatch · 23/10/2025 20:32

Thanks @JulyM85 . I think I’ll be getting the CB scent one. The Cult Beauty stockings are very cute! www.cultbeauty.co.uk/c/gifts/christmas-stockings/

Busy day in work today. I finally settle down at home and see I’ve missed the last couple of pages on previous thread and we are 4 pages into this one 😅

I don’t need any of the crackers or edits, thankfully. Though I do want a SNK one simply because they match the AC boxes that I have 🤣

It's been a busy (expensive) day 🙈🤣

The ACs will be lonely without the crackers 🤣

I know, what were they thinking?! They have had good seasonal beauty gifts for years so I was expecting an exciting winter beauty bag filled with lovely products, but instead they decide to just give us the empty bag!! 🥺

Yes. I like the look of that too.

Puravida23 · 23/10/2025 21:36

Oh wow finally Cult beauty delivers the goods . I love the scent and make up stockings and they look so cute . Can’t wait for their release

Talisin · 23/10/2025 21:44

Those CB stockings look great! I was all done too, dammit…

It's so bad the Beauty Detective site hasn't bothered creating a GWP listing and they usually add everything. 😂

HollyGolightly4 · 23/10/2025 22:19

I love the idea of the everything shower one! If you were my sister in law, would you prefer the ASOS cracker, or a put together job! ?

ChannelLightVessel · 23/10/2025 22:29

Finally caved, and got the Lumene calendar (from allbeauty, 25% off using code LATE10). Very excited, even though I probably won’t use any of the make-up.
