🎄 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 LOVE Medik8 night cream. I've just bought the cult beauty edit to get it. I would say it's worth another purchase personally. My friend actually commented that my skin was looking good a couple of weeks ago. I've been using medik8 VitC spf day team and the night cream.thats in that set since March.

Hi all, in the interests of research 😹 I have put the CB edit in my app bag and the BDAY15 code works.

However, I could have sworn I was due a £5 credit for the ridiculously unnecessary order I did last week to get the GWP, but it’s not showing on my account.

Does anyone know when that £5 credit was due to appear? Does anyone have it on their account?

Thanks

I think we get the credit on 19th November, or thereabouts.

I have just ordered the CB edit for the night cream. Almost did this morning but made myself wait and then noticed @JoRaRaRa’s post with the code - thanks!

Thanks @ElizabethG81 - I wonder if the edit will still be around then - I quite fancy trying the Medik8 cream.

What do you all think? Is the CB edit likely to still be available on 19/11? I would much prefer to use my £5 off!

50/50. Some recent edits have hung around for weeks and some have gone quite quickly.

Oooh tricky decision! If it was me I would get it now in case it sells out. You know you’ll find something else to spend the £5 credit on .. hopefully a heavily discounted BAC of some sort !

I am doing girl maths too, I have asked for the new Dyson air wrap for Christmas so am researching where would give me the best points as I think discounts will be either minimal or non existent. Space nk is winning over Boots atm !

Thanks @OvaHere - that Medik8 looks like a great bargain and I want to try it.

Unfortunately I have bought so much recently and spent a fortune on unnecessary things at CB last week!

I will have a ponder - it’s true that I haven’t got the industrial quantities of night cream that I have in day moisturisers, so there is that…

I’ve not got a cult beauty account but going to set one up, does anyone have a referral code they’d like me to use? I have looked but can’t see a thread so happy to help someone here!

I dithered all day about the CB edit, read this thread and was definitely enabled. It was the night cream that was the main thing for me, the make up I’m going to gift to my friend with some other stuff.

I just looked and I had enough points to convert for a £5 credit. Will save and add with the next one.

Delurking to say thank you for the threads - have enjoyed reading them and looking forward to opening threads.

After few years of JL calendar I felt I had product overkill so last year bought elemis edits instead. Have gone for the OK calendar this year for generic products I will use and QVC elemis offer again.

The Degusta calendar is an annual feature in the living room ( its so big!) but also this year got the Degusta taste and treat - A mix of 24 foodie and self-care treats for a joyful festive countdown. Cant find contents listed anywhere so will be interesting to open!

I just got the new Dyson Airwrap. In theory it's a christmas present from dh but I need to be sure it's working. First one was faulty, so just as well I did.

I was thinking Boots would be a good option to buy for the points but it was much more expensive on Boots. I think at the time it was about €50 dearer and is now €104 dearer!!!!! I bought on Dyson but they were out of stock on Dyson so couldn't exchange the faulty one. I got the second one from Brown Thomas for the same price as Dyson. So moral of my story is shop around for best price too.

Thank you for the tips @OchonAgusOchonOh! I will definitely be shopping around. I have worked out that Ndulge points will be £25 and Boots £17.40 ( based on them both staying full price over BF ) I think the N dulge spend would tip me into Deluxe too which would be an added bonus

I'm the same, I bought it for my DIY Frankenstein calendar too and paid more than I wanted to for it. But I've bought this set as the cream retails at £60 so the set is cheaper then the cream alone. I figured that I'll be really happy if I like the cream, and if not, I can always sell it on. I've yet to find a medik8 product that I don't like.

Like the look of the Medik8 cream but too many fragrance oils in it. Shame the rest looks fantastic.

Well, my CB stockings arrived - haircare and perfume and I didn’t even unwrap them. I virtuously left them in their plastic wrapping and waved them in the direction of DH, whilst asking him could he put them away and give them back to me at Xmas 😹

Bear in mind, one is pale blue, the other is orange.

He looked really anxious for a moment, then said: I think they’ve sent you odd boots.

I genuinely didn't know what to say…

😂😂

You must have very dainty feet @IlovePond

Haha!! Brilliant 🤣🤣

I wonder if part of him thought for a minute that you'd purposely bought odd boots 🤣

Not really @BakeOffRewatch 😹 - his excuse was he couldn’t see them properly 🙈

Who knows @JoRaRaRa - tbf, he’s feeling poorly atm - at least that was his excuse!

@2025istheyeari i have a referral code if you still need one ? 😊
