🎅 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 🩷

Hope everything goes really well tomorrow.

An insert in the Harrods magazine mentioned a home fragrance advent calendar. I don’t recall this last year

That sounds appealing too.

I'll be thinking of you and your dad tomorrow @JoRaRaRa, I hope everything goes well for him.

Interesting that's it's fragrance and has an October 1st launch. Im still scrabbling for clues about the FAC 😅

Ooo this is interesting. I wonder how much it'll be.

I never get the magazine, it's so frustrating, both me and my mum signed up to rewards at the same time and she gets them 🤷🏻‍♀️

I honestly think that is unacceptable.

To send it out to a customer like that (could they not have peeled the labels off)? Especially as it was a replacement for a defective product. It just illustrates a contempt for the customer.

@JoRaRaRa hope all goes well for your dad tomorrow.

What kind of size is the case @snackcident I can’t gauge it at all!

Ditto. Cult and gb not wowing me. Hopefully a decent edit will come out.
I need nothing tbf but 🤔🤣♥️
But I do want to get something x

Sorry posted twice x

I don’t have anything to measure it with so I’ve taken some pictures using a rituals shower gel for size reference 😂

After CB reveal I am now more confused, was hoping the perfumes would blow my.mind.chatgpt told me to go for selfridges as makeup would suit my skintone more. If anyone planning to buy CB and sell on vinted please dm me your usernames as I would be keen to pick up some stuff.

Hope all goes well tomorrow @JoRaRaRa. I will be thinking of you and your dad. ♥️

I hope everything goes well, for your Dad tomorrow @JoRaRaRa ❤️

I wavered briefly when I saw the Elle one and it's a fair bit cheaper, but I'm definitely back to Selfridges. I'm not big on makeup (and after this I will have four unopened, untouched black mascaras if anybody wants any) but the Huda blush palette and the Burberry lipstick look nice, and I want to try the Wonderskin lip stain because I keep seeing ads for it.

I love the shower gel and the AB rich cream, and the perfumes look fine for me too apart from the Balmain Carbone (again, if anybody wants it) so I'll be sticking with my Plan A although I'll be well pissed off if it gets reduced.

Also wishing your dad well for tomorrow @JoRaRaRa 🙏

Love to you and your dad @JoRaRaRa xx

None of the reveals are doing anything for me, so I've decided to just go for the Fortnum & Mason AC. I think i will use 80% of it, and I really like Wildsmith products. The fragrances sound interesting too - I'm crossing my fingers that they'll smell as nice as they sound.

I figured rather than spending the same amount, or more, on several cheaper BACs thinking they're a bargain, I'm better off just sticking to the one that appeals the most. So that's me done on the BAC front!

(I'm hoping those aren't famous last words 😊)

Best wishes for your dad tomorrow @JoRaRaRa
I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight 😌

I need to have a proper look at the CB offerings, on initial inspection, they have so many similar products that I thought I was going mad 😅

I had ruled out Glossybox but if I can get it for £70 I may reconsider

I think the amazing @MaryBD has identified the different products in bold at the top of each list- makes this job much easier.

@JoRaRaRa Sending good wishes and love ❤️❤️❤️

I don't know if it's because I got so much last year but I'm not falling in love with any this year. Closest is Elle, which has enough 'really want' in it to cover the cost. Vogue is nice but Laneige, don't like the Burberry and jewellery is undecided and for £350 it needs to do more.

Bloody hell i’m late to the party!

Had Space NK the last two years, LF the year previously. Thinking either Space NK or Cult Beauty this year.
