🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS*** THREAD 9

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread! Will this be the last thread? I think it will last two weeks and we’ll finish on a round number 10. Though Black Friday deals may mean we burn through this and 10 onto 11 and 12!

I’ve started getting Black Friday early access emails for 25% etc.

I’ve got the offer from sparks I’m tempted I would like (want) one for January

I don't have an offer of a reward for it on my sparks card but will keep an eye on it.

I’ve the offer on sparks too. I’m now like do I need this?! Also same as others I’d rather click and collect for free. 😏

Oh no, I have the Sparks offer which is tempting me to a third advent even though I thought I was sticking to one this year as I bought Elemis but then accidentally did a build your own in an old Molton Brown calender. DD12 will like lots of the DoD in M&S so I’m twitching…

And of course I probably need a fourth now I’ve remembered about the crisps 24 day countdown… 🤣

This thread has forced me into buying the M&S one!!

I might put it with the family chocolate ones so I have something to open (Liberty is opened in secret upstairs - they wouldn’t understand!)

I have the Sparks deal which is tempting, but I got the Sainsbury's BAC for £40 to add to my others yesterday so think I'm going to leave it - M&S need to rethink that price next year.

Oh I don't have the m&s offer and I want it 😔

Me neither. I didn’t even want it until I read about the offer this morning and now I’m hacked off I don’t have it!

I have kept looking at it as there's a few things and brands that I wouldn't mind trying. But nevermind, I'm now going to be stubborn and not even buy it when I'm next in store, just because I now know that others can buy it for £45 🤣

I got the discount code too. Not sure I’m tempted. A few things I’d use but a few duds. Am contemplating a shopping trip early next week though so never say never….

I got the sparks offer which brings it down to €52.50. Still not worth it for me. It was €30/40 for a few years but has increased quite a bit over the last few years so it still seems expensive to me, probably because my expectations are that it's cheap.

If it went down to €30/35 I would be tempted as I would use enough in it to make it worth that.

I'm going to pop in to M&S on my way to work and have a look at the bac. I have the offer but not sure I'll bite.

I've just noticed the M&S one has a Gua Sha. They're about 5 years behind everyone else with them.

I’ve got the Sparks offer too, still not tempted. They must be struggling to shift them if they’ve had to drop the minimum spend and then reduce as well.

I didn’t spot them in the big Southampton store when I was there the other day though so maybe sold out there. John Lewis didn’t have their calendar in Westquay either, even though they’ve had them in stock there in previous years.

Having bought it at £60 and watched unboxing of it on YouTube, for me, it’s very good value at £45. I guess it depends on an individual’s preferences for products. I am bloody annoyed about having paid £60 though 🤬

They have one 4 years ago

They must have found the left overs in a store room😁

Not sure whether this has already been mentioned but John Lewis candle and oils advent calendar has 20% off atm. Still a bit too much imo

Bonkers offer from CB. With code AFFSINGLES get 20% off, there's a £15 gift vouchers if you spend over £50 and via vouchercodes there's £2.50 VIP (you need 2 shops to get £5 voucher so this would be one of them) and there's a £10 reward potentially for other £50 spend Amazon voucher vouchercodes (I've been able to stack this before but . So I added a Denona pallette to test was £64, came down to £51.20. £15 gift card takes it to £36.20 - £2.50 and potentially another £10.
I don't think people are spending money, people have been very nervous for a while and there's the budget soon.

Thanks for the M&S info
I have the Brown Thomas BAC already so def didn’t need another one !
I checked my app and had a couple of offers
25 percent off bath and beauty and
25 percent off advent
and the offers stacked
so
I got it for €39

I feel like I can’t stop now.

I need an idiot's step-by-step guide to this stacking hack...

@keepincool It's not a hack, just go through vouchercodes when you shop at cult beauty.

Not tempted with M&S at £45. Something about the brands I just find so boring and kind of naff. They have been shifting Percy and Reed , This Works etc forever. They need a serious refresh for next year, and a price reduction from the outset. It’s a shame as I adore M&S

That's weird. I just checked mine and the 25% off beauty specifically excludes the advent so I only get the one 25%
