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

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

My DH got me the sephora calendar this year- it arrived today- I'm very excited!

I really want to want one, but none of the contents are calling me. Last year I was so disappointed to miss out on the lip one, but I feel like this time I’ve so many lip products/perfume/skincare already

I’ve also stopped stalking the JL luxe box, having gone through all the contents again, I realised that there’s nothing I really want/need that I don’t have in my ACs and other beauty boxes

I feel like something happened to me when I went to sleep last night, I’ve awoken a changed woman (and I don’t like it 🤣)

£150 spend and £170 value. I’ve never had the Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cleanser and after everyone recommending it here would love to try. www.cultbeauty.co.uk/c/jomo-goody-bag/

Just a quick post to get this in threads I’m on. Will be back properly later

Oh no! I need you to continue buying loads of things so I don't feel too bad for buying loads of things 🤣🤣 I hope you wake up a shopaholic again today 🤞

I ended up buying the scent cracker after saying I liked the skincare one 🙈🤣 I love the hair perfume and will buy another bottle anyway, then when I read the descriptions on the fragrances I thought they sounded like perfumes I'd like 🩷

Hello everyone just joining the new thread

I think I’ve managed to get the SNK luxuries kit (it kept saying available then out of stock) but has taken my money so fingers crossed. I’ve really wanted that eye gel after having a sample size in a GWP last year and loving it and also love the MZ patches so the rest is free basically x

Ooh was that this morning? I’ll keep checking back as that’s the one I really want

thanks @BakeOffRewatch for the new thread …havent posted in a while and just trying to catch up on all threads …ive not bought any BACs since I got space nk …but have been obsessed with vinted instead …picking up some nice bargains …was tempted by the space nk beauty luxuries edit yesterday but sadly out of stock …

I absolutely love this set. It's not in stock at the moment. Really hoping that the 'notify me' button means theyre expecting more stock to come in.

@XiCi & @Theresalotgoingon yes I was on this morning looking at the crackers and noticed the set said 2 available added to my basket and it said 1 available then did the thing where the plus and minus went light grey and took forever to check out but it’s taken my money so I’m really hoping to get the kit I also have t tried any of the VB eyeliners yet and have been wanting to so that excites me too. I love a good kit. X

It's a great kit. The Westman Atelier blush sticks are gorgeous as well.

Decided to go for LF as a third calendar , have main Harrods and OK.
Used ADVENT10 to get it to 95 then realised I had £10 credit so that was the decider and for £85 I’m happy with that price. I’m going to split it up for gifts.
We do a secret buddy system at work and I’m going to make my buddy a 12 day advent , she will love it and I’m excited to make it up . I’d do her a 24 but it would be too much , we are not meant to spend a lot 😜 I need to get a nice empty 12 day advent box !

That sounds like a fab gift @diamondsandrose

I just a bit peeved at Cult Beauty for the goody bag. I got the edit last week so could have bought the edit today and a few other bits and got the goody bag. Annoying.

Me too. I want to get one of the Patrick ta holiday sets but I begrudge spending more at CB and not getting the gift 😔

If its still in stock place another order and return the edit off lasts weeks order when it arrives,

my post above was supposed to be for the fragrance chat, sorry for the confusion!

🤣🤣

I’m still resisting temptation on the crackers/BB’s but the shopaholic status has resumed, I purchased some concert tickets this morning, and I’m considering another one but it’s a lot more spendy so I’ve not hit the proceed button yet 😅

I’ve never bothered with hair perfume, I just spray with normal perfume if I’m going on a night out.
When you use hair perfume, do you match the fragrance you’re wearing or is it a mix and match situation?

For anyone interested, JL have reduced some of their beauty boxes (luckily neither of the ones I’ve purchased recently), so even more bargainous!

I'm a sucker for a mask so it's a good job it's sold out.

The SpaceNK luxuries set arrived today and it’s such a lovely set and the bag is so soft! Really pleased with this haul - if it comes back into stock grab one! I’m going to play about with calendars (one for me and my dd) swapping bits about now - happy as a pig in you know what!

I've already received it and opened all the boxes. I did put everything back in their boxes, but some (like the Bioeffect) were sealed 🤦🏻‍♀️
