[JoRaRaRa]

Welcome to Thread 3! 🥳

Firstly, a huge thank you to @ovahere for getting us started and looking after the first two threads. It's been lovely seeing everyone sharing news, spoilers and enabling each other already! ❤️

As agreed, we're taking it in turns to start each new thread this year. If this thread starts getting close to the reply limit, please post to let everyone know you're happy to start the next one so we can avoid duplicate threads.

A few festive housekeeping notes;
🎁 This thread contains spoilers.
🎄 Please be kind and respectful to one another.
💸 No judging anyone for their purchasing choices (or how many calendars they buy, we're all enablers here! 😂).
🎀 Feel free to share spoilers, offers, discount codes, GWPs, delivery updates and stock alerts.

💄 More Calendars & Spoilers

Rather than making the opening post a mile long, our friend Mary has a brilliant roundup of lots more advent calendars and the latest spoilers, including Charlotte Tilbury, Jo Malone, Elemis, Lancôme, Tatcha, NEOM, Neal's Yard Remedies, Holland & Barrett, YesStyle and many more as they're announced.

🎅 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! 😄)

@SunnyPinkMoose I am sure there used to be one and then someone at MN Towers too it away.

I have been thinking about the Selfridges FAC and mentally preparing myself for not getting hold of it. I am thinking that if I don’t get it then it’s ok as I can sell a couple of the fragrances from the Harrods FAC (horse perfume, I am looking at you 😂) and buy those I want from the Selfridges on Vinted to replace them. Won’t stop me from being disappointed if I don’t get my hands on it though!

Now I need a sad emoji 😏

Now that I've finished having a heart attack from that alert 🤣 Going back to the CB reveal by Really Ree, so all we learnt then was that they're throwing in a serum worth about 2 quid, lucky us 😀

We need an alert like that for the Selfridges FAC. Just for us though, not the rest of the country. 😂

🤣🤣🤣
if we include MP’s and their partners in the alert list, Cobra are sure give it the go ahead!

They're limited to one purchase per household though. There's a lot of MPs. 😁

🤣🤣 yes we definitely do!

Pureseoul BAC update from email. Design and first hints.

More details

Now that really does need a laughing emoji 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

edited to say definitely not the heart attack but the £2 serum.

Excited about this one 😍
Looking from the outlines it could be
Abib - collagen eye patch 60pc
Medicube - pad 70pc
Torriden - dive in serum
Skin 1004 cream 30ml
not sure about the slim tall tube 🤔

@MaryBD Thank you for the Fenwicks list 🩷 I had screenshot the pic to try to work it out but didn’t get around to it (plus there was a fair bit of squinting going on 😅)

I really like the look of this one. Of course I need to get my spreadsheet fired up, but time has not been on my side this week.

In other news, I raided my other stash looking for the Verden (3 times that autocorrected to Aberdeen!!) nocturne balm from last years BAC and it’s nowhere to be seen. Mine must have been missing, but I didn’t notice anything missing, so must have gotten something in its place 🙃

Following on from misreading PDRN serum, I read the Abib pot as Air b&b….it’s been a long week 🫠😅

My pleasure! It’s pixel-hunting season for me 😅

There's usually someone with April in their username, and they do a good spreadsheet every year. I'm not sure I've seen them on any of the threads so far this year, although I've not been following closely.

There’s a poster called sophdoeslife on YouTube who has the Cult Beauty AC and reveals several items.

Thanks for the PureSeoul info @OvaHere - I am quite interested in that.

The trouble is - having been lucky enough to go to SK last year - I know how cheap the beauty stuff is if you buy it there. I don’t really like the PS shops for that reason - their mark ups are huge!

Having said that, I am interested in a SK calendar that might ship from the UK without any extra charges.

YESSTYLE’s seems virtually impossible to get hold of, (plus VAT and Customs Charges/Taxes get added on at point of delivery 🙀), and SK’s is so expensive. Yepoda’s is more reasonable, but I am not that interested in that one as Yepoda doesn’t actually exist in Korea - their products were created specifically for the overseas market.

There was also the very pretty SK Sylvan Glow calendar last year.

Here’s a list of some that will be available for this year:

Re the above website:

It’s a bit worrying that the writer lists Tatcha, (a Japanese brand), and Sukoshi, (which is a Canadian company that sells Japanese, SK and other Asian beauty products), as ´Korean’.

They do mention lower down the page, (possibly a later edit/excuse), that they know Tatcha is a Japanese brand, but it’s still wrong to list it as a Korean brand further up 🙀)

Oh it is. 🤣🤣
Theres no going back now. 🤩

I don’t know about the UK but YesStyle includes customs etc at checkout for the EU.

It looks like you get early access to the Fenwick calendar if you join their loyalty scheme

Wonderful, thank you @pinkchampagne1 !

@DidILeaveTheGasOn There is a Rodial dragons blood set in the SpaceNK sale, worth checking it out (if it’s still in stock)

@IlovePond Tatcha is actually an American brand, albeit one using some japanese ingredients and 'taking inspiration' from geisha beauty routines. Only mentioning that because it slightly irritates me 😂
