🎅 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 😄)

What happens at Sephoria @OvaHere? Do you get met at the door with a glass of fizz? Special discounts? Do they have a band playing and a fog machine? My imagination is running away with me

OvaHere · Today 09:53

DidILeaveTheGasOn · Today 09:51

Only £90 is a bloody bargain. I've just asked my other half to put some BAC shelves up for me because at this rate I'm gonna need 'em...

We're back to needing that shared MN storage unit. I think we decided on Morecambe Bay as the exact centrepoint of the UK.

There's not been one in the UK before. You can find loads of videos of the Paris one. Brands have their own stands and you wander round, get free samples and play games to win prizes. I think they have masterclasses, talks and stuff like getting tinsel put in your hair. At the end you leave with a goody bag.

It won't be as big and insane as the US ones but I'm really looking forward to it all the same. I suppose it's like the pop ups that brands do but on a bigger scale.

I got the Cult beauty email this morning confirming 2nd September early access date.

Ilovecats127 · Today 10:19

Hi the look fantastic lip edit is now 36.00. I’ve been hoping it would go down in price.

Nearlyadoctor · Today 11:49

Definitely want Boots fragrance for Dd. Wish Glossybox would reveal and Elemis otherwise I want to get on and order Harrods BAC.
The wait is interminable 🤷‍♀️

Hmm I haven’t had this. I signed up but didn’t get confirmation. Have signed up again! I’ve decided I’m going to get Liberty, will sell any perfumes I don’t like but like the rest and then Cult as long as remaining reveals are good.

Has anyone ever had Treatbox advent calendar? Im considering it for a gift for someone that isnt HUGELY into beauty products, but they dont show their contents 😬

I am getting it this year (I signed up in January and have been paying since) but I regret it. I’ve since bought a couple of special offer boxes they’ve sent me and I’m underwhelmed. I’ve received thinks like coasters (single- not a set) hanging ceramic decorations, sweets, socks I’d never choose (with bunnies and carrots all over). Tat really. I think it will go down as a beautifully packaged expensive mistake; I’d much rather have a calendar I’ll use. Of course, I’m basing this on the contents of an Easter box and a birthday box, but neither of them (at half price) were worth the money.

TragicMuse · Today 12:32

I am probably limited to just the one, which is Liberty. But I have very fond memories of the Ciate nail varnish AC a few years ago which was reduced to a madly low price -something like £11 - and was an amazing bargain!

I’d love something like that again!

Just preordered Harrods AC 👏 Which is ridiculous because I’ve got £220 sat in my Liberty account and don’t want to buy the AC 🙈

Love the Vogue packaging, but don’t want the silver jewellery, coin purse and expensive socks, so hoping next year is better!

Noadded · Today 15:00

Hi @26inprogress - I’ve got all of the Liberty AC and BD perfumes to sell. How much did you list them for please? £5 each maybe? Then again, they’re all different sizes.

Hi @26inprogress - I’ve got all of the Liberty AC and BD perfumes to sell. How much did you list them for please? £5 each maybe? Then again, they’re all different sizes.

I am looking for the Crystal saffron, VyraO and Fugazzi if you are selling them

Hi @26inprogress - I’ve got all of the Liberty AC and BD perfumes to sell. How much did you list them for please? £5 each maybe? Then again, they’re all different sizes.

I normally check what other sellers are charging and then undercut them all! If average is around £15 then I'd sell at £9 to get it shifted.
Bear in mind I only buy edits/advents that I wanted anyway, I'm not bothered about making money and I have very little patience.

I only use ebay and don't accept offers. Can't comment on Vinted as I haven't tried it yet.

JoRaRaRa · Today 15:17

I'm looking for the Fugazzi from the liberty AC if anyone is selling 🥰

Actually I'm interested in a few things from the liberty AC, so if anyone is selling stuff, please share your vinted name with me 🥰 I prefer to buy from one of you guys.

I’ve just had my liberty BAC delivered and I gone through everything to check it was all there. Pleased I did as the Reome active recovery broth has leaked. All the tissue paper inside the box is covered in it. I’ve contacted customer service and they are looking into it

GrainoftuthSalt · Today 15:25

Does anyone have the monthly subscription Look Fantastic beauty box? Wondering if they are worth it?

The same for me, feel free to DM me your Vinted names as would also prefer to buy from someone on her

I think you win the crown for last year. 😂

2-3 is my conservative aim for this year. If I achieve that I'll be very proud of myself. I've already bought Harrods FAC and planning to buy CB unless the full reveal changes my mind.

There's a few contenders for 3rd place, Glossybox, Fenwick, Vogue, Boots, Selfridges FAC but I'm trying to keep in mind I may want SpaceNK frag if they do one and there's still no detail on HN - I might want their FAC too.

I'm being tempered a bit by my extremely good fortune of getting a Sephoria Gold ticket for Oct. I've got travel costs associated with that and based on the Paris one last year I'm going to end up with an advent worthy amount of stuff from the event.

It has occurred to me that I should try not to look at the goody bag and get DS to fill an old advent box with it all. Do I have the willpower not to look though? Doubt it. 😂

🤣 it was when I signed up to here and realised that you lot have more than 1, then I went mad. Hoping to not go as mad this year, but if the sales are good, I'll have no choice 🙈

I might just ignore HN fac and Spacenk fac, I can't be buying them all. I'm liking the look of the LF fac so far too. I just said I'm not going to go mad 😮‍💨
