Mine arrived today - and it is gorgeous! and for £50 plus contents its an absolute bargain!

@wohmumI agree, it is without a doubt my favourite bag and I have a small collection of them from Cult Beauty, Sephora, Space, Liberty etc….can you tell I have an edit shopping habit 🤭🤭

It’s an Elizabeth Scarlett bag and all her bags are beautiful.

@keepincool that’s a great idea, thank you.

I can’t seem to do it from the SK account but asked H and he can put a filter on his email so they automatically redirect to me.

You’ve all mastered the art of covert adventing!

I do. I quite like a lot of their products, including their CC cream. Bought it with 30% off on a deal.

Do we think the SpaceNK fragrance advent will drop in price again or is 15% off the time to bite?

I got Harvey Nicks fragrance with the 25% code and it's dropped so I don't know what to believe 😅

I recently got an Avant hyaluronic day gel/cream in a GlossyBox box and I really, really like it. So I ordered their anti-aging starter set via topcashback which has 17% cashback AND a code to bring the set down to £29 --- The set includes a £40 digital gift card which I've already received, so essentially the set is free if you order something else with the gift card in the next few months. This is on Avant's own website.

While they haven't yet dropped the price of their 12 day BAC (£99), it IS discounted down to £77 on another site https://makeup.uk/product/907017/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21572691273&gbraid=0AAAAABvluwdF_xSafzjzsBM0QdbkXw3lt&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxJXJBhD_ARIsAH_JGjguayd_t1wyU8Wy-uXdY4fTOq_uFeMkyi4A0sy04A5jB-BXPmJnaxMaAhx6EALw_wcB

I'm now wondering if the £40 digital card will work on the AC on their own site...

The Jarrods Wild Night in Beauty bag is soooo pretty. But I can't 😜

I'm holding out for a bigger discount. They have already had discounts on it so I assume they have a lot of stock and it's not shifting. However, I won't be particularly upset if I don't get it. If you really want it, go for it.

Checking in. So I don’t miss any last minute Black Friday specials 🙂.
I keep getting emails about Vogue, so it’s still not sold out. I’m not tempted, even with a discount.

I'll do the same, I haven't wanted it up to now and have already picked up my favourite frags from others so I'm also not too bothered if I miss out 😊 thank you for your sanity 😁

Any chance of any discounts on the Dior gold make up bag sets? I want to get one for my mum.

Has gone. Just joined. Need zero items so 🤣

I ended up doing it through Google x

For anyone looking out for non Beauty advents, Degusta has got £10 off so comes to £29.99
Code is ADV-10-OFF

After spending far too much time. Fragrance advent was tempting but I'm drowning in perfumes so went with Lisa Eldridge concealer stick and deer hourglass palette. The pale one.

15% off in John Lewis.

I’m tempted to order this for DH, we’ve had it before and he quite likes it.
I just tried changing the number in the code from 10 to 15 and it says ‘this promotion has not yet started’. Changing it to 20 says ‘code not found’, so maybe it’s going to drop further to £15 off!

Boo. I ought this at full price. Its bloody massive though

Looks like JL have sold out of those gold Dior sets - disappeared from my basket and not turning up on a search😿

Also sold out at Sephora, (where they were a tiny bit cheaper).

Still available full price from Dior.

I can't see a contents list. Does anyone know what's in the AC?

So tempted by Harvey Nicks fragrance. I need to be distracted - they have a 40% discount for first purchase, which (if it works) would take it to £105!!

Dior always fling in a few free samples and the packaging is beautiful.

I see YouBeauty has now sold out it's BAC; Neom candle GWP pushed it through without actually discounting it. However, it now has a Men's GWP Bundle if you purchase the Men's Grooming Box...

I don’t think they provide a list of exact contents, they just show examples from previous calendars.
In the past there have been random items like a jar of chutney/ a packet of sweets/ some crackers. It’s definitely not high-end but is quite fun for the price. It says contents are worth £60 so you can tell by the price the items are pretty basic (but quite diverse).
