🎄 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.

@MrsBnow12 I love that you've just gone crazy and bought those 2 😍🤣 they are the ones you've been lusting over though.

I think I'm done too. I haven't bought an AC for a while. The only one that might tempt me is the Kiko I think as I love all the glittery makeup ✨ but it would have to go under £100. I had been looking at the next premium one but I have bought a lot of skincare edits over the last few weeks and that one is very skin heavy. I might just go shopping in the current kiko 3 for 3 sale and pick what I want from that 😊 I wonder if I can do 6 for 6 without doing 2 orders 🤔

@MrsBnow12 my cult beauty order from Thursday hasn't been dispatched yet, so they must have a lot of orders going through at the moment.

@JoRaRaRaMaybe there is hope for Cult Beauty after all.

@OvaHere I haven’t fallen out with Vinted but it has become tiresome so I have put on holiday mode and will turn it off in the New Year. I also have too much going on to deal with it and selling the items I don’t want.

I plan on having a sort out between Christmas and New Year as don’t like to have more than 12 months in my stash.

Oh my goodness are you sure? That would be absolutely amazing, that's so kind of you thank you!

Sure. Message me :)

How do you actually contact them? I have tried twice and they don’t reply. I posted loads of items which sold but I became overwhelmed with it all and asked them to take my account down for now. They’ve just ignored me and I keep getting sold messages. I’m really stressed.

They are really difficult to contact.
You have two options, one is going into your profile and there is a option for Holiday Mode, this will
hide your items so people can’t buy them and second is to click on each item and the three dots at the top and you can click on delete which will remove it.

Really impressed with my freebies with my order from Thehandmadesoapcompany.ie which arrived today. Free 160g candle and 30ml hand cream with discount code and a 250ml shower gel and two 50ml hand creams in the mystery box with a €70 spend. I already buy their candles and soap regularly so while I added one soap to the order to get to €70, it was something I would buy anyway.

Thanks so much. I have never used them to sell before but this has totally put me off.

I find Vinted to be mostly fine when I have the time and headspace for it. It feels a bit too much at the moment, the market is flooded and the couriers over stretched.

I don't want to get into selling things to people who may want them as gifts and it all being messy when Yodel or Evri inevitably lose a parcel or two. When a parcel goes missing it takes a month for both buyer and seller to be refunded. At a time like Xmas this will just stress everyone out.

Morning, all!

Having watched the StyleKorean unboxing last night, I went onto the site and can confirm it’s still available.

CODE: CLARE10 or GLOW1234 will take money off the a/c and anything else not reduced on the site.

UK customers are reporting no extra customs duties to pay due to VAT being added, but obviously NO guarantees.

I now have a basket full of things I didn’t know I ‘wanted’ but I certainly don’t ‘need’ them 🙈

This is very tempting but I already have Harrods, SoaceNK, Boots, M&S, plus one of the Dior Christmas edits, 2x cult beauty edits and all 3 of the John Lewis boxes.

Writing that down has made me reconsider and I’ve probably conveniently forgotten some things too 😳

For anyone still looking, the Space NK BAC available again on main website, I know it was available on the App recently.

PS Had a bad experience on Vinted using it the first time, spent £200 and item went missing in the courier's warehouse. Have exchanged 30 or more messages with the awful Customer Services, and after 6 weeks had to use my Credit card company to refund me. From now on, if at all, I will only purchase items under £20 that I don't really care about.

Went to check it out and for some reason they are no longer shipping it to Ireland. They're still shipping the fragrance one though, which is a bit odd as perfume is usually the item that isn't shipped.

Feel a bit of a fraud a I've not bought a single calendar. Nothing has really taken my fancy this year. Looking forward to living vicariously through the opening threads.

That's a shame. Maybe try contacting customer service?

To be honest, I'm relieved 😁. I didn't want it initially but it being back in stock and it being so popular was tempting me even though I know it's not the one for me.

I definitely get bored and my skin has a great response at first then gets used to it if i use the same thing continuously. I need a choice of cleansers,etc to go out but I'm so disorganised anf have too much stuff but next year will work through it all. 🥰🤣
But my skin can be reactive at times so not helpful. Thank you meno

Be gone you traitorous wretch! 😂

Do people think the Vogue one will sell out. There is a few bits I’d use…I’m just not sure 🤣

Very tempted by PFM new GWP . Have added up the value … am teetering 😂😂😜

Agree - I’m a bit out of control though.

Should we enable ?!

It's annoying you can't choose both the shower gel and the candle.

I know but the 10ml are worth more … what would be your choices ?

I've only tried Delina, Valaya and Oriana. I like them in that order.
