Please do a Space NK one! I'll join 😍

Thanks @Mejera good to know and I’ve had a couple of bits in the past that have been nice. Such a good price….!

I've got the Sephora one this year. I was dressing up as Claudia Winkleman for a traitors thing so have already opened all of the boxes to see if one particular item was there. No spoilers so won't say what it was or if I found it or not.

I usually go through all the boxes anyway so gauge how excited I need to be!

@IlovePond did you have any trouble signing up to SK?

I haven’t received a verification email and get an error message when I request it to be sent again. I’ve tried the app too 🤔 Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

This has honestly made my day 🤣
Rifling through an advent calendar “to gauge how excited you need to be” is the best justification I’ve ever heard for having an early peek 😂🎄I’m 100% stealing the “excitement-management” reason next time I have the urge to open mine early 🤣

Signing up to SK is a pain. I had to create two accounts in the end. Trying to remember how I got around the verification. I think I had to search reddit posts etc. to find out how to solve it.

Can anyone else remember? I think I signed up with either a google or apple account that passed the verification. When I used a different email first time I couldn't get past the verification.

I am so tempted by the Vogue calendar...

Glad to hear it’s not just me. I’ve tried my personal gmail and work outlook but not had any verification email on either.

When trying the latter it said I was already registered at first too.

when I used my hotmail address I didn't get the email confirmation, but I did when I used my work email

Thanks for the new thread. Here to justify a 4th - if it’s a bargain of course.

The CT Advent is down to £131.25 on the Charlotte Tilbury site + free gifts for various spends.

Seems like there are bargains to be had but maybe we have to move swiftly. Im quite keen on Next premium or HN if there’s a further discount.
wish I’d been awake for the Korean suitcase kit as it looks fun. My DS bought me some face cream for my birthday as he’s recent switched to Korean stuff and raves about it.
ive not yet tried it as desperately trying to finish what I’ve got on the go.

I had Lumene last year and their sizes were great for travel - someone was needing enabling on getting the AC! I love their stuff.

Ooops, I appear to have ordered the StyleKorean advent calendar 😁I really wanted a k beauty calendar, but they sell out very quickly. Anyway, just watched an unboxing of this one and by accident, went on their website and clicked 'buy'!
It probably won't be here for next week, so I'll keep it as a Jadvent one. Right, no more!

I’ve been into Jarrolds today and this edit looks good for £60 if you don’t fancy their advent calendar. The bag is incredibly pretty.

@LetitSnowball - I downloaded the SpaceNK app and then logged in with my existing password and email as I have had an account for the last 18 months or so.

As the app is new, maybe they haven’t ironed out the bugs yet. I don’t understand why the website account sign up would be weird, though. Maybe too many people trying to sign up/too much site traffic?

Hope you can get it sorted.

@IlovePond @LetitSnowball means StyleKorean I think not Space NK.

Ah - @OvaHere - I see! Thanks

@LetitSnowball - I’m still no help. I’m afraid. I set up the account via the web, (not an app), a few months ago with a gmail email address and it just worked. I have just downloaded the app and was able to log into my existing account.

Hope you can get it to work.

This is a gorgeous edit, if you click through the link
on the BF email you can get it for £50.

Thank you both. Maybe I’m being impatient and the verification email will arrive soon from SK 🤞🏻

That is a beautiful bag from Jarrolds, I’d buy it just for that. So pretty!

Could it have gone in your spam @LetitSnowball?

Oh that is lovely!

Sadly not @IlovePond

As a last attempt before being patient I tried DH’s work email and the verification email landed straight away! Not sure why both of mine didn’t work but I’m now in 🎉

Not ideal that he’ll get all the promotion emails… or see what I’ve been buying 🤔 hmmm I might need to rethink this 😂

Can you re-route the emails from SK to your email address?

Man alive this thread is clickbait 😆😆😆. Between the Vogue BAC and then cute Jarrolds edits with pretty bag today - I’m getting close to sainthood resisting 😇🤣
