🎅 Happy advent season everyone! 🎁

Here's hoping for lots more spoilers, bargains, discount codes, and maybe a little self-control (although judging by threads 1 and 2, that seems unlikely! 😄)

I like that one (though 2ml perfumes are tiny!)

As @OvaHere said £150 & not bad for the price

Absolutely No Way to 1.5ml perfumes. I have said it before and I will say it again, that's a free sample.

I don't know what's wrong with my brain today as I misread 15ml

It is a bit poor to put samples in unless it's a mini sample set of the same perfumery like Floral Street or Kayali

Every time porn 😂

I like Enchanted Masquerade so that got my attention but I have a 10ml, I don’t need a 2ml 🙂

I actually like SNK, there’s a lot I’ll use. I think the Tatcha might be the Dewy Milk Moisturiser not the serum. The 15ml size.

I feel a bit underwhelmed by most of the offerings this year. I think it’s going to be Liberty for me. I can’t remember all of the contents but what I can remember, I’d use and I’d like a fancy dirty washing bag for holiday!!

I really like the Vogue too, but with beauty drop and loyalty vouchers I’m tempted to save a bit of money.

I am quite bummed out by spacenk reveal so I ragescrolled their sale section thinking I could spend 275 quid here and curate a better selection. Then ragebought kulfi lipstick and Ilia eyeshadows. FU to mediocre offering.

They just asked me to take it down. I don’t believe it was fake, and I was fully aware they’d probably ask, because that’s what they do every year when spoilers are leaked. But it’s fine, this isn’t my first rodeo 😅

Re the Jo Malone, I want the little bags so I can fill them with catnip for my cats 😸

You showed ‘em @SavageGarden23 !

Rage buying is a new one. 😂

Fair play, that’s a good use of them 😀

Thank you for confirming 😊 that's interesting that they always ask, and they were fast to message you 👀

I like many FAC this year but am struggling to commit to one. My favourites so far are CB because of the great skincare (PC retinol, Allies of Skin azelaic acid, Sunday Riley serum) and Selfridges for the fun items (lovely ceramic candle, Lola perfume, body brush). I also would enjoy Vogue but it’s way out of my price range.

I do wonder how far £250 would go in curating a perfect calendar by picking favourite items on Vinted 🤔 might be a spreadsheet worthy task 🙂

The Jo Malone looks lovely now I have had a proper look, also because they control the whole thing, it looks like they build sensibly towards the larger products at the end!

I've been out in the farmers fields (we got told off 🤣) to watch the solar eclipse, I thought it was so amazing to see and so I didn't get to see the contents list for snkc😔 but looking again at it, there's a few things that I like the look of but I might just pick them up on vinted and buy the Harrods. I think I'd prefer the medik8 serum from snk 🤔 I might need to work out what I'd like and see if it's worth making a Frankenstein 🙈🙊 I know I said I wouldn't but now I'm getting excited 🤣

I found last year that it worked out better if you liked quite a bit from an ac, to buy the calendar then sell what you didn't like.

My pleasure! From experience, some people go straight to Space NK asking if it’s fake or when they can buy it, which ends up drawing unnecessary attention to me 🤷‍♀️

@TracyBeakerSoYeah Same for me with the Medik8 PDRN 😅

I was scanning through the SNK list waiting to be wowed. I saw an AB product and thought now we’re talking, then saw it was the body lotion. The La Mer saved it. But I’m not sure that and the few other bits I’d like is enough to make me spend £275.
I need to relook over JL, Selfridges, etc before I make a decision. Vogue could well be a strong contender now too. Time for my spreadsheets I think!

Depends what your favourite items are. I wanted the AB eye cream from last years Liberty but had to pay £30 plus postage, so around £35 on Vinted for it. That was the more bargain end too - lots being listed for upwards of £50.

It doesn't go as far as you think with the hot ticket items from advents. Agree with @JoRaRaRa there's a certain point where it's better just to get the calendar and pass on or sell on yourself things you don't want.

Just had a proper look at the SNK contents as was about to rush out earlier. It is pretty underwhelming other than a few products. A £100 body lotion is crazy, even if it is AB. They had that CT beauty wand in it last year so why is it included again? Just lacks the wow factor but seen as I jumped ahead with Harrods, it is probably a good thing that I am not tempted by many others

Vogue is feeling like a contender here too.

Liberty and Harrods, just not sure. I keep going back for another look. Liberty wouldn't cost much with BD vouchers.

Despite saying this morning CB was out I'm becoming a bit more interested due to the skincare. I struggle to process whether I like a calendar from tik tok drip reveals - I need a picture and list of full contents.

I'm hopeful for Sephora due to the Mario palette but really depends what else is in there.

There's also still Fenwick (are they doing one?) and all the ones under £200 like LF, GB and Boots.

@OvaHere I think I'm getting more interested in CB due to the skincare too and I'm actually ok with some of the makeup, I wouldn't mind trying the WA mascara. I also have quite a bit of credit with them so it would make it quite a lot cheaper than Harrods. I need to get my spreadsheet back out 😀
