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

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

🤣 Well concert tickets are expensive, but I'm glad my fellow shopaholic is back.

There weren't any new beauty things to buy yesterday so I ended up buying some clothes instead 🙈 Probably a good thing as I've been selling a lot of clothes to buy more advent calendars 🤣 I was going the right way to being naked for Christmas but with a lot of skincare and fragrances 🤣🤣

Did you buy the crackers? 😈 I mix and match the hair perfumes. I really should find out what perfumes would suit it more but I just like it when I can smell my own hair 🥰 I might get my husband to buy me the PDM delina hair perfume 😊

PDM hair perfume is gorgeous

Hi, I'm new to this year's threads and haven't bought a beauty calendar in a few years. Mainly stuck to the basic m and s one.
This year the Look Fantastic one is tempting me!
Does anyone know if there's a further trick/discount to save some more money on it?

I only know of ADVENT10 which takes £10 off it, so not a huge saving but better then nothing. 😊

It really is. I've only tried the delina not the Valaya. I might have to go seek that one out to try 😊

Well you’ll be pleased to know that DH and I are going shopping today, so no doubt my bank balance will be a few pounds lighter afterwards.

I haven’t bought any crackers yesterday, but may go for the one with the hair perfume if it works mixing and matching with my usual perfumes.

I went out last night and wore my LE lipgloss, it’s so sparkly! When I first put it on I thought maybe I’d gone for the wrong colour (pink) but after a few seconds I really liked it.

“I was going the right way to being naked for Christmas but with a lot of skincare and fragrances 🤣🤣”… Don’t tell your DH that, he might confiscate your bank card 🤣🤣

RHOBAC Naked Christmas special.

I have the PDM Delina hair perfume and it is gorgeous. I got it in the 2023 Fenwick calendar and loved it so much that I asked DH for the matching perfume as a present. I wear them both together and can smell the perfume on my hair all day.

I can't link , but I've just seen M and S are doing beauty gift bags . Bath and body £25 . Haircare £30 and a skincare also £30 . I haven't looked closely at the contents , but they could be useful for diy calendars

Is anyone planning on purchasing the aldi beauty calendar tomorrow?

I love M&S calendar but sadly not calling me this year/ rituals too basic I’ve had it all before/ going to look at some beauty boxes, any recommendations?

What an exciting morning! My Liberty kit, Space NK cracker, and Flannels cracker have all arrived. I’ve been sniffing the fragrances from the Liberty kit but the crackers have gone away into the wardrobe for xmas day ☺️

Check the Flannels one. Two of us had a missing perfume from the women's box.

My Flannels Cracker just arrived too!

My SNK Cracker arrived too. Really pleased with it. I think Phlur Father Figure is the stand out for me!

@OvaHere. Thank you - I’ll go and look at it shortly.

I'm often raving about this scent. I love it. I got the matching deodorant when Anthropology did that £20 voucher.

My Liberty Glam Bag arrived. I'm really impressed with this edit.

My cracker and (complete) Flannels box have arrived. Father Figure is lovely. I’m going to try the Kilian from Flannels later.

Glam kit is out for delivery, DS has asked if he can pay for it for me for Christmas so I won’t open it when it gets here. I can only remember one thing in it which I’ll probably forget by December.

I think those of us who cancelled the Flannels order when the scent box was reduced and then reordered from Frasers did it just in time! 😆

Agreed. I got both sets for only about £10 more than I paid first time for one. I guess the delays paid off for once.

Just remembered I got 8.88 TCB too so I actually got 2 for the price of one in the end. I did expend quite a bit of time on Flannels CS service though between cancelling the first order and the missing scent so I feel like I deserve this bargain! 😄

You can return the new one with the older return order number.

I have been into Fenwick today and the empty bag is displayed everywhere. I picked it up and gave it a squish just to check it definitely was completely empty & it was. 😐
I even showed my DH and he agreed it was the most crap gift ever!

They sent me the men’s instead of the women’s 🙄🙄🙄Hof are ridiculous . Thankfully I like them . But I’m not ordering from them again I should know better !
