Has anyone tested the Vilhelm Parfumerie Dirty Velvet that comes in the Liberty Men’s Beauty Advent Calendar? @IDontHateRainbows ?

Maybe both at this point 😅

Thank you (I think!!) for the heads up on the code! I have JL FAC and Elle but wanted a third thinking it might be selfridges or Sephora but I’m not 100% sure I’ll get selfridges if it is released at a time when I’m at work and can’t buy and Sephora haven’t done a full official reveal so I’ve gone for CB Special. There’s a few DoD which I’ll sell on but largely happy with it and my dds will be delighted with the Gisou shampoo and conditioner! With £15 credit and £20 voucher and Quidco cb it was a great price!

I've also had the dispatch notification for the perfume samples but at checkout, my dispatch options for the perfume samples were separate from the BAC, even though it was the same order, so they must be shipped separately.

Selfridges BAC is back on sale now.

I didn't manually add the code to the Cult beauty advent. I ordered at 7.30am and only realised a code had been applied when I got to checkout. I wasn't sure if it would let me pay but it did. I would have bought it regardless but do hope Cult beauty honour it.

Has anyone looked at the Sukoshi mart advent compared to Pureseoul? I'm in two minds as if I should go for one of them or wait for Stylevana or Stylekorean? Did anyone buy a Korean advent last year that they enjoyed?

This cracked me up 😂😂😂

Had an email saying LF dispatched. On further inspection, they've dispatched one perfume sample. I wouldn't have bothered personally🤭

Had an email to say my Harrods BAC is also out for delivery. Exciting times! 😃

Sephora BAC ad on insta - apparently dropping next week. Posted on Monday, so maybe next Monday… 🤷‍♀️

@Caggie09
I’ve just received said perfume sample….what a waste of a cardboard box! I honestly thought the box was empty or that my beauty box wasn’t going to be one of their better offerings 🤣

CB have been very quiet neither confirming nor unconfirming my AC with 20% BDAFF discount. I had an alarming email (title) from Liberty saying important message, thought they were cancelling on me as I'd bought the mens but no it was just alerting me that the previous dispatch ref was wrong and it had been dispatched with DPD - they are usually quite speedy so hopeful of a thursday drop - Friday latest.

Was this ordered ages ago or in the past few days?

Haven't tested it no as no Vilhelm near me (I live miles away from liberty) but it may be with me tomorrow with a bit of luck and a fair headwind.

I ordered it on the day it was released

Did you not get an email receipt for your CB order?

I pre-ordered Harrods BAC on the 10th of August and it's still stuck in 'processing'!!

Mine was ordered at the same time as I ordered the fragrance calendar- think it was August 3rd, so you should hopefully hear something soon

Thanks, I'm not good at delayed gratification!

Yes for the order. Not for the despatch

I've had emails to say dpd are expecting both my Harrods BAC and FAC so I should get them in the next couple of days. I'm SO excited 😁

I didn't buy a Korean BAC but I remember on the Waifs and Strays thread there was one being discussed ( I'd bought a Rituals one )
The Korean one did look good though !

My John Lewis FAC has been despatched ☺️

I haven't had one though and I ordered as soon as it went on sale with no discount. So maybe none have gone out yet.

I've not had a dispatch email from CB yet either. I suspect it'll be later.

I have received an email from Harrods saying that they've only sent 1 of the FACs I've ordered.
