I bought it for DH last year and have bought it for him again.

Happy birthday

Buying in-store is so good for freebies. Last time I was there I bought from YSL and they threw in loads of little gwps. It's a shame you don't get that with the online orders. My nearest store is about an hour away so don't often have the time to go in person.

How lovely! I bought the calendar a few weeks ago so missed out on the discounts but I’m so excited for you with all the extras you’ve got!

Awww @Octovent happy birthday! That's a lovely birthday treat!

Wow. Great haul. Happy birthday.
Hit and miss. Ive found the opposite at selfrifges, Trafford Centre. 🙄🤣

That’s so lovely! Happy Birthday 🥳

Happy Birthday for tomorrow @Octovent! 🥳 What a lovely shopping trip - sounds bliss. Good on your OH for joining in with the BAC fun!

Happy Birthday @Octovent 🎉🎂🥳 will you be opening the countdown calendar after Christmas or ripping it open tomorrow? 😈 Xx

@Octovent Congratulations! What a great treat, have a wonderful birthday!

@Octovent How lovely! What a treat. Well done to your DH on the special gift and enabling the RHOBAC 😁
Have a lovely birthday tomorrow 🥳

Happy birthday @Octovent and well done on the freebies.

I count myself lucky if I get served/don’t get treated like a potential shoplifter, no matter how much I spend in-store on the beauty counters, 😿 so I am always interested to hear about others who have better experiences!

Happy birthday @Octovent 🎉 and what a lovely gift.

The Boots Skincare advent is back in stock, and the Showstopper box.

Just came to post about the Boots skincare AC @ElizabethG81

Beauty Detective site is saying 22% off but I can't see a reduction on it.

Lumene is reduced to £60 at AllBeauty. There’s also a 10% student discount code available (or alternatively try App10) which brings it down to £54.

Happy birthday @Octovent enjoy your lovely gift.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow @Octovent, what a lovely gift for you to enjoy

Pixi 12 Day AC is £40 and codes WELCOME15 and WELCOME10 stack for a 25% discount plus a free gift.

They're mostly minis but this would be a cute gift for a teen.

No I can’t see any discount either.

It’s annoying - there’s a reduction on the premium calendar but Boots have taken the discount away from the restocked skincare a/c whatever reason 🤷‍♀️

Not.sure if its been mentioned, but Elle has now sold out 😱 that was another one I had my eye on. Oh well...

I'll be saving until christmas and doing it properly. I always get quite sad when there's no BAC left and I think the PDM idea of starting on Christmas day is genius, I can keep the fix going. Plus I have LF fragrance so I need to give those a chance before they are demoted to bottom shelf

Phew. I was at risk of cracking and getting that one

Having dithered for ages on the Boots No7 12-day calendar I'm now so gutted it's sold out 😭 Any chance it might come back in stock?

I’ve just given in and ordered the boots skincare calendar … absolutely no more!
what do you all do with all the stuff?

I need to do an inventory of what o have of each type … so I don’t buy more! What do you do with the stuff you don’t fancy or won’t use??
