I hope I’ve captured everything 🩷

Oh good, thanks for checking the links. I spent ages checking and tweaking them but sometimes when you copy / paste them they glitch.

Hello everyone, thread 5!

SheilaFentiman · Yesterday 23:17

Thank you @Thelifeofawife epic OP!

I watched Ree’s unboxing of SpaceNK and I liked it. The curlers are in with a mascara and the PK and SdJ are in with each other so that enhances them all value wise

(but I have bought the 17 cosmetics one so I’m at the budget end of things 😀)

OvaHere · Yesterday 23:50

I've done a quick calculation of the products in SNK I would most like and use and they come to £557.40. There's a few I'm on the fence with so haven't counted those along with the DoD. I've got £40 in vouchers so maybe it is one that would be worth it to me.

Cult Beauty will be a bit cheaper when factoring in the gift card but it's really going to depend what's in the rest of the advent.

I don't have one that clearly stands out amongst the rest and I can't imagine that HN is going to turn out to be it, if and when they release it.

I'm beginning to remember why I ended up with a Frankenstein one last year. I'm already considering whether to get SNK and Cult, remove the DoD then merge. 😂

clary · Today 00:01

OH my oh my ladies I am soooo late to the party.

Been busy arsing about in education and even checking out results of some actual tutees of mine haha.

So I will have a leisurely look. Hmmmm.

Foreo looks good in JLP but do we think they have blown the budget on that? Still gotta be a good thing? Some other nice things there too.

Liberty also looks goodish – like the Sunday Riley and the Zelens and all the fragrance. Lots of ppl moaned about that last year but it was a bonus for me.

Will have a look at Harrods and Selfridges. F&M I have decided is too light on makeup and fragrance for me. Ohh JLP fragrance calendar mmmmm :)
