🎄 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.

Would she like one of the Liberty Kits? If you are looking for one with more make up the Glam Kit or Founders Kit might be nice (there's a few other types too)

I’ve succumbed to Elle at £99. There’s loads I’ll use in it and a couple of things I’d never usually buy but keen to try, like the eyebrow serum. The Zelens alone is £110 so the value is there even if I pass some bits on.

I’ve just looked at HN again properly. I was surprised by the number of small/GWP purchase sized items in there. It’s a nice calendar, but at that original price point I would expect more items of bigger size. I know the La Mer and AB are ridiculously expensive, but still!

On a more budget level: I would definitely succumb to GB, (despite the multiple DODS), if it was properly reduced!

Thanks @OvaHere - you’re on fire today with the reductions!

@IlovePond id also go for GB if it had a good reduction, for the palette and a few other things

I've just watched an unboxing of the All beauty 12 days calendar and it was in there. I ran back to this thread to tell you 🤣 https://www.allbeauty.com/p/allbeauty-christmas-2025-advent-calendar/16451092/

I just refresh the BAC sites a zillion times a day. 😂

The Cowshed hamper seems like a good deal. It's not something I would buy for myself but it would be a nice gift.

Nivea 24 Day BAC £20 down from £60 on Amazon

M&S have finally coughed up some new Sparks offers for me but….
still no BAC discount. Their algorithms are a bit shit.

same here - and i would definitely buy it with a discount!

Boots mens ted Baker advent calendar reduced again to £30.66! I bought it at £41 2 weeks ago so sending that one back and buying again at cheaper price!

I was (and still am) really tempted by the HN fragrance calendar, but have been shopping this afternoon and went in the new Space NK shop that opened today. They had the advent in stock but I resisted that as I have bought most of what I want from it, but they did have goody bags for purchases over £100 so I bought the Medik8 serum that is in the calendar and a mini Medik8 night cream. I received the goody bag, a £10 voucher because I joined their reward programme and a spin of the wheel, which got me a full sized By Terry brightening serum. 😃
Am now thinking I maybe best leave the calendar!

Arghhh I literally picked one up yesterday at £41, but it was for my brother's birthday and I had to give it to him yesterday 😭 Very annoyed 😤

@pinkchampagne1 - I wish I could go to a SpaceNK opening and get goody bags! How did you find out it was happening?

Thanks

I saw there was a new store opening in Canterbury but it just said ‘opening this winter’ on the window. I then spotted details of the opening date on Facebook so as I finish work early on a Thursday, I decided to have a little shopping trip! 😁

The Ted Baker women’s calendar is down to £30.66 at Boots. If that shower cap had been a make up bag, I may have succumbed!

Ooh, good for you @pinkchampagne1 - I love it when things like that happen!

I know single brand BACs can be tiresome but I would do bad things if there was a Trinny one! Skincare and makeup, I’d be in heaven!!

Me too @QueefofSheena I’ve kept an eye on Elle for a while and I’m happy with £99.

Thank you so much @JoRaRaRa 😍

I felt like I'd seen it somewhere, but I've looked at so many calendars and edits that they've all blurred into one!

Looking back at this thread, I can see that this was at £59 not long ago, so I'll wait and see if it goes that low again.

If you haven't already, sign up with them and then add it to your basket. They send me codes most days so hopefully it won't be long before you get a decent offer 🤞

I kept looking at it and in the end decided that I needed to get it before it sold out

@Sexentric Sorry I was just going to send you a picture of the Rodial eye gel and it's not sealed! So sorry, I could have sworn it was.

Still happy to send you any pictures if you need them ☺️

Oh dear I feel a bit bad for returning it now. No worries though. Thanks anyway
