🎄 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.

Wow, the CB edit is excellent value with that code. Does anyone know what shade the Charlotte Tilbury lipstick is, as I can’t see it written?

Looking forward to the Space NK advent thread

That's true and by the time you buy the paint, you might as well just get the Harrods one 💁🏻‍♀️🤣

The shade is Mark of a Kiss https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/hollywood-beauty-icons-mark-of-a-kiss

Thank you @JoRaRaRa 💄

I’m waiting until Black Friday as it’s after payday and I’m getting a pay rise backdated from September.

Woooohooooo!!! 🤑🥳🎉

I'll have a look at that and see if that makes it worth it.

All the talk about medik8 tipped me over the edge ! I’ve done exactly what I said I wasn’t going to do and I’ve got the LF beauty vault but at 113 I couldn’t leave it ! I thought wait wait wait Black Friday gamble but I could here you all going it might go and if you want it …… aghhhhhhh . Please please don’t let the Liberty Mens drop stupidly low 😂😂😂😂

No one is getting any christmas presents from us lot this year, we've all spent it on ourselves 🤣🤣🤣

Boots 24 days of skincare is now sold out online.

@SunnyPinkMoose, can I ask how you managed to get the LF beauty vault for £113? Thank you 🙏😊

I'm at the point where I'm a little bit relieved at something selling out. It reduces the mental burden of knowing I could buy it. 😂

I’m the same @OvaHere .

honestly, it’s ridiculous; I can’t tear myself away whilst there’s still potential bargains but I'm looking forward to being free from checking.

Yes - I was wobbling on the Boots skincare - quite glad it’s gone. I hope my friend will feel a bit more pleased at getting it now she knows it’s not going to be half price on BF. (She was suffering buyer’s remorse yesterday and I was thinking I might have to offer to buy it from her 🙀)

I also feel vindicated, as I told her it would sell out soon, as it’s an excellent calendar. I’m surprised it hung around as long as it did.

I caved and ordered the CB Edit

Now studying the LF Vault

@OvaHere @Addictedtobeauty I'm the same, I love a bargain so I know I'll probably end up buying one I've never looked at before just because it has 50% off 🤣
Although saying that, I don't think there's any that I've not looked at. We've had time to review them all when we've been looking at them since July / August 🙈🤣

BDLF gets it down to £118.50 😊 I wonder if @SunnyPinkMoose had a £5 credit to get it to £113?

I need JL and Niche Beauty to sell out so they can stop living rent free in my head. Especially Niche Beauty, it's been sat in a basket forever and had various codes applied but I can't bring myself to get it. It would have to get to nearer £200 and I don't think it will.

If m+s was reduced to £30 I think I'd pick it up! It's just a nice convenient one 🤣

I just added the Space NK fragrance advent to my basket and it doesn’t seem to add the gwp

For this year my thinking has been to buy calendars with less than 3 DUDS that I am intrigued by and have products at a price point that I can repurchase. I have somehow ended up with 7. I made a mash up.of my LF fragrance and perfume shop and am currently opening it. My mixed fragrance calendar is very much brightening up a dreary November. I do keep an empties list from calendars of things I enjoyed and those I didn't as well as what I would like to repurchase.

Next year I aim to go for a different tact and want to go for Harrods and Liberty and marvel at niche perfumes I can treat myself too afterwards and skincare that I can't justify repurchasing. Let's see how well that works for me and if I can stick to my resolve.

Ignore my last post - just realised you need to spend £185 to get the gift so added a £25 lip oil and the gift was added to my basket. Am resisting though!

I am holding out for either Elle or You beauty to go under £100 and I may be tempted.
I 100% do not need another as have ordered far too many this year and made up my Frankenstein one from a mix of Space Nk, John Lewis, Glossybox, Harvey Nichols and Sephora.
This excludes the fragrance advents I bought, which included Harrods, Lookfantastic, Harvey Nichols and Space NK - I am still thinking about Parfums de Marly as have had a crazy year work wise and this would be a real treat for me.

Same here @pinkchampagne1 . I have the fragrance advent and a bag in my basket (total £186) but I’m trying to resist checking out. I don’t need the calendar or the gift. I got HN fragrance last week with the 25% discount and also the Cult fragrance GWP. I have bothFortnums and Liberty calendars. I do not need anything else! Hope the fragrance advent sells out before I press ‘buy’

@JoRaRaRa @OvaHere sorry to say I am loving my JL Badvent, really loving the contents! Don’t want to enable you both though 😁
