🎅 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 🩷

Revolve is definitely on my wishlist 🤩 Good Genes and Allies of Skin are fantastic, also love le lipstick by Sweed.

Impatiently waiting for HN and Sephora official reveals 🤞

The Revolve 25 day (£132) has the Foreo mask device for anyone who fancied it but didn't want a JL price calendar.

I was just coming to post the same thing. A much better deal imo.

So having said I wouldn't use AI, I gave it a go out of interest. I've clearly turned on the enabler setting, as it's telling me to buy 4!

Admittedly after a bit more chatting we agreed Harrods plus CB was probably sensible, anything more than that and id have to go on a buying ban for most of next year as I wouldn't get through everything before next Christmas. So that's the plan and I will show self-restraint from here on in (unless Fenwick gets hugely reduced for some reason).

I was in Selfridges today too!

I tried most of the FAC fragrances a couple of weeks ago and I concur with you apart from the Thameen one and the Patchouli Gourmand one which I found absolutely rank 😂

I’ve been catching up on all the threads.
Sorry to everyone who have been having hard times
I had the BT advent calendar last year .
I loved it .
Only one dud drawer the hairpin
which I sold on vinted .
I’ve recently seperated from my husband and money is tight at the moment so I doubt if I’ll get any this year .
I enjoy reading about all your purchases .

@IlovePond
I was so looking forward to the LF FAC this year having missed out on last year’s, but this one isn’t appealing to me at all.

Same. I ordered it last year then they said they didn't have enough stock to fulfill it. Thought I would make sure to get it this year but it doesn't excite me one bit, so I won't be bothering.

Hi , does anyone know what date the H&B advent calendar usually launches? I am on the mailing list this year (for once) but I need two for gifts for mum and sister and have a patchy history of actually getting them as I usually only remember partway through September: I thought they might magically appear at midnight on 1st September but no joy … thanks!

I really think Space NK will be released today. I am still undecided!

Hi everyone, @JoRaRaRa I’m glad your dad’s operation went well. Your weekend sound lovely and I would be the same stroking all the dogs.

sending hugs to everyone who is going through a tough time.

im attempting going back to work today, hoping it’s the right thing to do.

I think I would like the cult beauty advent calendar. I’m torn on the liberty and space nk , especially as I joined the beauty drop beginning of this year. I like the look of the look fantastic beauty one. Already ordered both harrod beauty and fac. Not sure about Sephora, wish I could decide, I can’t buy them all unless I win the lottery 😂

LF is now live.

Does anyone know of any discount codes for LF please?

Early access is open for Boots.

I’m very tempted to get the skincare one.

No sign of Harrods calendars being available in store today from what I can see.

I wonder if people will turn up en masse anyway.

It wouldn’t even surprise me if the calendars don’t just appear in store without an official announcement at some point 🙀

Sukoshi mart is available to order on the app today and goes on general release tomorrow. It is £165. I'm not sure if I should hold out for Stylevana instead as that was the one I regretted not picking up last year. I've not had Sukoshi mart before either.

Last year I ordered Sephora on the 28th August so it is being released later this year and I am not enjoying the wait.

@IDontKnowWhatYouMean I am as well, I think I'd use everything in it. I'm trying not to get too carried away though, although that one is a bargain 🤔

I’ve woken up to advent pre-order emails from LF, Boots and OK.

I need to remind myself that quite a few of these calendars will hang around and there will be discounts. I’m not particularly keen on any one calendar this year, so I think I’m going to wait for a bit (unless Pure Seoul is amazing).

Also not long until Black Friday deals and edits starting appearing. Trying to play the long game here!

wait till 10

Just ordered both the LF Beauty and Fragrance ACs.
Super pleased as, with the 15% subscriber discount and £10 credit, I got the Fragrance for £128 and the Beauty for £92 🙌🏻

DH is getting me the Fortnum’s AC for my joint birthday/Christmas present which is fab as it’ll be my first high end.

LF will be delivering in a couple of days and having the huge boxes in my sight will hopefully be an effective deterrent to buying any more…

Just ordered OK with £20 discount £89 was a great price. It did add on a free beauty box too. I’m not sure if I’ve somehow unknowingly subscribed but I don’t think I did. I suppose time will tell!

I'm wondering whether to hold out for a discount on LF. I do have £5 credit, but it would be good to chip a little more off🫣

Yay, delurking to add I've also, finally, committed and have bought the two LF advents. They were so brilliant last year though I think perhaps not as good this year on the fragrance one, but still worth it for me. Plus I went through Quidco in case it tracks -you never know your luck! Should be here late end of the month so now I just need to try and resist any more...

My order from LF says dispatch will be from 22nd September. Does yours say they are being sent straight out?

liberty Email this morning mentions men’s calendar right at bottom, but has anyone seen any other info about it?
