💄 More Calendars & Spoilers

Rather than making the opening post a mile long, here's 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.

👉 https://beauty-detective.com/category/beauty-advent-calendars/ 👈

🎅 Happy advent season everyone! 🎁

Here's hoping for lots more spoilers, bargains, discount codes, and maybe a little self-control (although that's already gone for some 😄)

The Liberty calendar does look gorgeous

pinkchampagne1 · Yesterday 19:46

Looks like people are already starting to list bits from the Liberty calendar on Vinted

Willow742 · Yesterday 20:25

A very unsuccessful day for me. Went over to the Trafford centre to try and smell some of the Selfridges fragvent scents - they didn't even have half of them and the 'guy in the know' I was directed to had no interest in helping me at all 🙄 that's off my list now, especially if it's 400 quid!

I feel a bit disillusioned with beauty at the moment, went into SpaceNK and Sephora and there really wasn't anything I saw that I was interested in. It actually made me realise I might have reached saturation with beauty products for the moment...

Got home and vinted have suspended my account for 5 days for commercial selling cos I listed two of the same thing from the Summer Society pop up. If I can't even sell the surplus advent stuff on there it seems a bit pointless. Bah humbug!

Thelifeofawife · Yesterday 20:29

@Willow742 What a day!
I usually go to Manchester City centre, I can find most fragrances between Selfridges and Harvey Nichols. That said, I still have some I need to try as they didn’t have a few or they did but the bottle was empty - I had planned on a trip to Trafford centre but seems a bit pointless after your experience.

If I have duplicate items to sell, I list one on Vinted and the other on eBay, or leave them a couple of months apart if listing on the same platform.

@viccabelle that’s a pretty box and bag. That’s going to be my BAC and already thinking what can make with the bag!

It’s mine too and I am also thinking about what I might make!

@owlpassport I was in Superdrug yesterday and a very young girl was asking the assistant for the skincare. Assistant asked her what kind of skincare and how old she was - the answer was 6!!

Assistant kindly and rightly proceeded to say that she didn't need much stuff as her skin was so young - I didn't see where they went but hopefully the little girl got directed to some lip balm and maybe a bit of glitter!

When Sephora opened in Edinburgh and there were huge queues of teenagers outside I popped into Harrods Beauty. One of the staff there said that it was relief as it meant they wouldn’t be full of tweens at the weekend trying everything and buying nothing

HollyGolightly4 · Yesterday 21:41

I haven't heard of oh my cream before. Off to investigate!

Beautyfox · Yesterday 21:45

Anthropologie has sent me a 20% off voucher which has made the AC very tempting. Does anyone know if the 12 days one also releases in the UK? If so I might hold and get both with 20% off.

Really lovely company, with a lovely ethos and great customer service. I will be watching carefully for the details of their advent.

Ah yes, I should dust off my ebay account! I find it slower than vinted but probably not 5 days slower 😅 and you don't get the stupid offers either which is nice.

Thelifeofawife · Yesterday 23:10

@Willow742 Yes eBay is generally slower but things do seem to be moving a bit more lately.
I also listed a few things that had been sat on Vinted for ages and they sold in a few days, for the listed price rather than silly offers

I think I might end up with cult beauty, space nk AND the boots luxe one…. Do we think 3 is excessive?

I think I speak for the majority. Three is bare minimum.

On this thread, that’s standard. Even 5 isn’t excessive 😅

Last year I got 5 BAC, 3 FAC and a Rituals AC - wow, I’ve never actually counted them up like that, it’s an eye opener 🙈😅
2 of them I got in the sale and had purchased for later this year anyway, so technically they don’t count 🤔
