🎅 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 😄)

I hope I’ve captured everything 🩷

Hello and thank you @Thelifeofawife for the new thread! The links are working too 😍

Thanks for the new thread @Thelifeofawife

Thank you for the new thread @Thelifeofawife 😍and thank you @JoRaRaRa for the last two threads. 😘

This is the spendy thread/month where we have to start committing!

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

Checking in 🫡 thank you for the new thread @Thelifeofawife 🥰

Hello everyone, thread 5!

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 😀)

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. 😂

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 :)

I was very tempted by the JL because of the Foreo. But Foreo currently have a sale on and lots of back to school codes (it was 30% when I bought, now more). ended up buying a different device (I bought the FAQ 402) and being given a free UFO and box of masks at checkout. The freebies were also given if I’d selected the bear 2. (The UFO includes cold therapy too whereas the mini does not).

Just checked and discount is even bigger now,
if you buy a bear 2 bundle and use code OUT50 you can add the UFO and masks at checkout for free. So you get both devices for £236.20 (less than the price of the JL advent) and they are also on TCB.
eta- select free shipping and it’s 230

New to this thread but wondering if anyone has seen anything about an ASOS calendar? Daughter and I shared the LF advent calendar last year but after ordering I saw the ASOS Calendar and thought that may have been better (more for the teenager). Don’t want to order the LF then details are released about the ASOS calendar and it’s better again.

Has anyone had it previously?

Thanks @Thelifeofawife for starting the thread. On holiday atm so v intermittent checking, but SNK def not for me. Need Cult reveals, think it’s between that and Harrods atm..:

Thanks @Thelifeofawife for the new thread and to @JoRaRaRa for the previous thread, I rudely forgot to thank you before. Best wishes to you and your dad.

I've woken up stupidly early so I've been trying to work out who haven't announced yet. Nothing yet about the big Flannels cracker or Carolina Herrera, although from memory I don't think CH do one every year. I'm sure a previous one I had was still around the following year.

checking in ! @Thelifeofawife thanks for the new thread !

@QueefofSheena you are not the only one up at silly o clock ! …I was wondering about the flannels crackers too ….not that i need them as im swimming in fragrance ….are they even doing them this year ? i see they have their advent calendar out but no mention of the fragrance crackers

Thank you for the new thread @Thelifeofawife

Definitely out for space nk, it's too boring

Thanks for the new thread @Thelifeofawife.

I need advent season to hurry up and get here. I’ve been so good using things up that I’m actually running low on some things. I thought I’d never say this, but there’s now only one mascara left in the stash!

Thanks for the new thread @Thelifeofawife
I actually loved watching the SNK unboxing. I get really excited and carried away with them and almoat thought yes thats the one. Then I remembered it was £275 and its just not exciting enough for me for that price

Thankyou for the the thread @Thelifeofawife .
@skiqueen20 I've had ASOS for the last two years but managed to pick it up when it was discounted thanks to posters here. For the last two years it's been revealed around the 8th September but it could be earlier this year. I'd keep an eye on the beauty detective website or on the thread as we usually post when it has been revealed.

Thankyou for the new thread x

I think I might buy the spacenk and merge it with my Harrods (yet to be bought 🤭). My switcheroos would be:
Medik8 c-tetra for the medik8 pdrn serum,
Temple spa body balm for the Augustinus Bader body cream,
I'd add the hourglass blush from the spacenk to the Harrods calendar,
The la prairie cleanser for the summer Fridays cleanser.
Rehab hair oil for the k18 heat protect.

Or do I leave the Harrods intact and merge Spacenk and cult beauty 🤔 I did really enjoy doing a Frankenstein last year and it took my mind off my cousins death, I wonder if I should throw myself into a Frankenstein again. Although, I might not have time next month for it all. Decisions decisions...

Thanks for the new thread @Thelifeofawife. I’ve bought liberty with BD so that was technically free and DH has bought Vogue for my birthday so I haven’t really bought myself one yet 😂. I’m still liking Elle but want to wait for CB to reveal full content. I bought the liberty summer scent edit so I’m going to refill a calendar rather than buy a FAC. Thinking Sephora might be good for DD.

@QueefofSheena this one? Or have I somehow found a link to last year’s??

Thank you for the new thread @Thelifeofawife and I do hope your Dad is on the mend soon @JoRaRaRa🤞

I am not as impressed with the LF Fragrance advent this year as I was last year, so in a panic that I might miss out, I have just bought Vogue.
I have now got buyers remorse at the cost 😂 but I know I will love opening each drawer every dark December morning & I will have forgotten most of the contents by then too!

Thanks for the new thread. Hopefully this one will take us through all the reveals and then its decision time.

im not sure about SNK. It just doesn’t have advent calendar wow for me. However, if the contents were in an edit I would snap it up even at the same price because it is really good value. So I’m undecided ab it.

already in the bag are Harrod BAC and hair and body. I will order Liberty once I know I’m around for delivery.

most excited about the oh my cream reveal.

I will probably get Elle and maybe sephora because it’s soo makeup heavy compared to my others. CB is Interesting me too. I suppose what I’m trying say is I want NEED them all!
