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

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 discounted it as I have a fragrance and gave away both of the discount codes I received!
Maybe I should buy some nice chocolate and have the 12 days of chocolate 🍫
I have been known to purchase a Lindt 1kg Santa just for me!

I can't remember what other 12 day calendars there are, but I'm sure someone will be along soon with some suggestions 😊

Hmmm, Jo Malone and Penhaligons are catching my eye, and I also like the look of Rituals. But I could also be persuaded by one of the Korean skincare ones, decisions, decisions! Hope there are some big, big discounts though!

Oh the Jo malone and penhaligon ones are gorgeous 😍

JoRaRaRa · 08/11/2025 19:31

@TheCryingTheBitchAndTheFloordrobe it's not for me either, but I'm glad your friend has got herself a bargain 🩷

thanks for new thread @BakeOffRewatch

I keep looking at kiko and rituals, if I did get kiko, I'd have to open it before December so I could use it all in December 🤣 which others are you fancying?

Oh gah. I’d managed to completely forget about the Kiko Milano and now I want it all over again!

🤣 Sorry! It is so sparkly and nice though! We need to find a discount code for it 💁🏻‍♀️

I used to work opposite one of their stores and bought most of their Christmas limited edition stuff three years in a row (they never sold the advents over here then). And then covid happened and they closed down. I miss all their glittery stuff 😢

QueefofSheena · 08/11/2025 20:16

I had no idea about Kiko and now I need it!

Yeah, it is all soooo sparkly, it's gorgeous! 🩷 I like that it's not stupidly expensive too. The packaging this year reminds me of the 2023 mac collection 🤔

I’d added the AC to basket and a 15% off box popped up making it £126.65 with free delivery

Growlybear83 · 08/11/2025 20:39

I’ve found you! I thought everyone had gone out for the day 🤣🤣. Thank you for the new thread @BakeOffRewatch

HumBumBum · 08/11/2025 20:43

Hi all, just bobbing on in case there’s any amazing offers on BACs for my second one. Can’t really justify it but might be tempted for perfume or make-up. Kiki you say? <off to Google>

@bakeoffrewatchBut surely if they are people joining from other countries, then 7am won’t be the same time for them either.

I just think than MN is a public forum, not a private party. You don’t get to impose rules in threads. You can control when you look at a thread, but it’s not ok to try to control other people posting. I think this is what ruins the threads personally. Telling people off like school children if they haven’t posted at the right time!

The point is that the 'rule' is set for no spoilers for that day before 7am UK time, so everyone knows when they can safely first post or check the thread. It could be midnight, it could be 5pm, it doesn't matter. It's just a guideline so everyone is on the same page. And yes it's a public forum, but if you stood in a public space and shouted spoilers for the latest big hit (e.g. standing outside shouting Traitors spoilers at 10pm on Thursday) people would still think you were a bit of an asshole. It's just part of the general social contract, a bit of respect for others.

In years gone by there might be someone who'd bulldoze onto the thread mid-month, saying something like 'i've opened mine, you guys are in for a treat! Shame day 25 is a day cream' or something, and it sort of took the wind out everyone's sails and the excitement out of the countdown.

@JoRaRaRa good news about the PLT discount! I think this might possibly be another glory year for the discounts 🤞

'i've opened mine, you guys are in for a treat! Shame day 25 is a day cream' - this made me laugh! 🤣 I will be peed off though if someone did come onto the Harrods one and keep revealing the next day or something when I've spent the last few months trying to forget 🤣

Yes, I'm hoping it's the start of some amazing discounts. I'm getting excited at the thought 🥳🎊🎉

IlovePond · 08/11/2025 21:27

Hi,

Code: 40PLUS gives a slightly bigger discount at LF than the one mentioned upthread. It brings the Rituals wreath down to £72.61

BlueLimes · 08/11/2025 22:08

I’ll buy Dior as my third when it’s discounted by 50% (had 3 gins so bit p’d and optimistic).

I have a Kiko store next door to my office. It's a problem. 😂

QueefofSheena · 08/11/2025 23:39

I’m going to leave the Kiko AC on my basket and see if any reductions happen later

OchonAgusOchonOh · 08/11/2025 23:48

If there is a serious discount on the SpaceNK fragrance one, I will go for it. Otherwise, I'm sticking with the one.

I have just bought the new Dyson Airwrap so I've probably gone well over my selfcare budget for the year.

IlovePond · 08/11/2025 23:54

£10 off the GB a/c for non- subscribers with code: SINGLES10

Evergreen21 · 09/11/2025 00:56

I left Glossybox in my basket and was getting it with a free gift of a kerastase shampoo and conditioner. It might be worth seeing if the code above stacks with it.

I'm not really looking for anything further but my resolve is weak and I can be easily swayed by discounts.

IlovePond · 09/11/2025 01:26

No extras for me @Evergreen21 - did they just appear in your basket?

Thanks

QueefofSheena · 09/11/2025 07:35

For anyone looking at Kiko, the discount box that offered 15% yesterday is now offering me a ‘just this visit only’ discount of 20%. I’m going to keep watching this to see if it goes further
