if anyone still wants one - the M&S BAC is showing as in stock at £45... I almost bought it !

Every face the future edit I’ve had has been really good value and I don’t think there’s ever been anything I haven’t liked…

I think I’m going to get it. I was going to buy Prai neck cream anyway and I love Stila eyeliner. It’s a bargain and then maybe I’ll feel satisfied. I’ve been checking HN but after my rage at them I bought Eve Lom and CT on vinted. I’d like to try a Lisa Eldridge eyeliner but can always buy one with the massive saving from not getting another luxury BAC.

Ive got Liberty, Arran and a cute candle one DS bought me. That’s enough isn’t it???

Fenwick is down to £225 if anyone is interested. It would have to be a greater reduction for me to consider it.

SNK has 25% off a lot of Lisa Eldridge. I bought the concealer pencil which I'm looking forward to, hopeully in right colour.

I'm wondering if it will drop down further tomorrow or Friday. They have up to 25% off beauty etc as part of their Christmas warm up event. Hopefully the BAC gets included if they have enough of them left to shift.

Ordered! Jam on the way 🍯 @keepincool

@shinny I'm still resisting as there were a lot of DoDs for me, but the Prai cream was the one that I'd like so I'm going to use Boots advantage points to just get that.

I actually quite like the look.of the Fenwicks. Its not worth £225 to me though. I have a glossybox. I dont need another advent but some of the contents look really good.

There’s also a few varieties in the M&S 25% off but so many that I get confused 😵‍💫

Tried the shampoo and conditioner in the Liberty last night, hair is shiny and frizz free. Really good. Better than the Diazz stuff got with Liberty beauty drop by a long way.

Ooh what shampoo and conditioner was that @Hicupping ? I dont have that AC but always son teb lookout for good hair products for my wavy / curly / frizzy mad hair

Mine is same hair type so shampoo was davines and charlotte Mensah for conditioner.

Fenwick is still on my radar - but it needs a better discount for me to justify purchasing a 6th calendar

I can’t believe that Ive not bought anything else since the reductions have started! 😆😆. I will find it hard to resist Liberty men’s if it’s reduced.

For anyone else is the M and S calendar adding to bag for £45 and then trying to charge £60 at checkout?

Same for me - it's in the basket at £45 but clicking through to the checkout it puts it back up to £60...

I’ve already started opening as we’re away the first week of December.
LF Fragrance and John Lewis …both have not disappointed 🤩

That's a great edit, and price! I'd be very tempted, but I already have so much 😅

Ive spent more on advents this month than food and there's 5 of us. But im buzzing.
Excited for the new pages on Mon. 🤣😍
Ill be buying a lot less next year and shopping my stash. I've run out of storage and now need to buy presents for everyone else. 😍

Oh I really like this 🙄🙃

No - mine went through at £45 and gave me free delivery. I wasn’t interested at £60.

i went via Quidco as well and then it opened onto my app.

Weirdly I've just had an email from Totum highlighting Healf offers. Discount with a Totum card brings it down to £279.20

There's an allegedly new unopened Dior calendar on Facebook marketplace for £300 😬

Oh dear, I have the link for the Selfridges pre sale… good news the PDM advent sold out this afternoon so I don’t need it!

It's my birthday tomorrow and my husband just took me to selfridges and bought me the PDM, the last one in store. 20% off, and they threw in so many goodies for free, I've got a 10ml mens one, 10 samples of delina/inito/valaya, a body cream, and a 50ml delina body wash and shower gel! I am so made up. I've been lusting after this calendar all year. Plus as hubby bought it for me (after listening to me rabbit on about it for months) he's actually enabling my BAC addiction for once. Usually I get told off
