Final one before the opening threads. Who is starting the opening threads and for which ones? Please share the links below. There’ll be Waifs and Strays one, DIY, and possibly Harrods, Space NK, Liberty?

On 1st December, the opening threads start, I’ll ask MN to update this post with links.

If you’re looking to continue the chat beyond BACs there is the Beauty chat thread here by @OvaHere : https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5444855-beauty-chat-freebiesgifts-with-purchaseoffers-thread-six

Both threads are quite spendy, be warned!

Yay! Vogue Advent calendar just arrived! Asked DH to hide it until the 1st as I don’t trust myself. Just discovered a large stash of perfume samples (contemplating Hermes Twilly today) so will not be purchasing a fragrance Jadvent calendar this year

The vogue box looks amazing 🥰

MrsBnow12 · 24/11/2025 21:49

Thanks again for the new thread.

if anyone wants an empty SK little case, happy to send one over for postage.
Think there was a sheet of stickers with it and I have two
in the cupboard.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 24/11/2025 22:03

SpaceNK has added a free handcream to the fragrance calendar languishing in my basket. I'm not budging unless there is a decent discount. Besides, The Handmade Soap Company gave me three free handcreams this week so another is not going to tempt me.

BakeOffRewatch · 24/11/2025 22:03

Just to say don’t google “Korean suitcase” if you’re looking for the beauty item like I just did, it brings up a really horrible and upsetting current news story.

Here’s links on the item from July: https://www.stylekorean.com/shop/stylekorean-timedeal-holiday-mini-kit/1752655508/#main_tabcontent_yk0 and here https://beauty-detective.com/stylekorean-holiday-mini-kit-2025/

I now have the urge to Google this 😳 what a sicko! 😱

QueefofSheena · 24/11/2025 22:52

Vogue is saying sold out. Phew!

It allows me to add to basket and get as far as checkout ...

paristotokyo · 25/11/2025 01:45

@IlovePondI bought that StyleKorean suitcase edit too, and I must say it’s my favourite edit so far. Really great items. I’ve used a lot up already but I found some new faves in there and the sizes were perfect to test and take along for travel. I also bought it for my SIL who loved it too. I’ve repurposed the case for my kids stickers and crayons 😂 so if you have young kids or know any one else who does.

IlovePond · 25/11/2025 02:39

I don’t have any little kids in my life unfortunately @paristotokyo but I am
looking forward to trying out the contents. I might use it for paper clips, etc. @tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz I think I was inspired to buy it when you got it. SK is a great site!

IlovePond · 25/11/2025 02:40

I’ve posted this elsewhere, but there’s a £15 bonus cashback at Quidco for SpaceNK today on a spend of £60+ - limited availability.

OvaHere · 25/11/2025 06:49

Sniph fragrance AC down to £106 with discount and code ADVENT10

Not familiar with this brand but have seen influencers talking about it. A bit like Phlur maybe?

Hi, do you mind posting the link from the email please? It's still coming up at £99 for me and at £90, I'm very tempted 😍 xx

buzzing · 25/11/2025 07:23

Next Premium is down to £160 from £185 … I’ve been stalking this one but really wanted it to get below £150

Legolava · 25/11/2025 07:24

I just ordered the vogue on with the code VBTREAT10

Those who have bought the HN fragrance calendar, are the fragrances nice?
I am still tempted by it, even though I shouldn’t be, but the only fragrance I know from those listed is Delina.

BakeOffRewatch · 25/11/2025 07:35

Yup 10% off Vogue BAC here https://shop.vogue.co.uk/products/vogue-festive-calendar-2025

Nice is subjective with fragrance. Vanilla Powder is good IMO if you like vanilla scents with a bit of a kick. The 2 x Fragrance du Bois are strong, Lucius I like a lot but it's gone to DS as too masculine really. Sirene isn't one I'd buy but probably will use the 10ml. I think Spikey Muse is in there - that's a good one, again just my opinion.

Not tried all of them yet. It's a mixed bag but for the price it's at worth it if you enjoy trying new stuff out.

Thank you. It is tricky when you are blind buying fragrances isn’t it? I have already got the Harrods fragrance so should have enough in there to keep me going, but I keep looking at the HN one now it has come down in price.

CurlyFerret · 25/11/2025 07:53

I can’t believe I’m asking this as I already have CB and SNK with Elle on the way….but does anyone have Lumene? 🤦‍♀️ just finished a small pot of the overnight bright cream and it was lovely…
