Thanks for the update! I’ve updated the list, so all 28 products are now included.

I returned a Cult Beauty Advent Calendar yesterday. The reason I put was the truth “ordered and then ordered another with discount code but too late to cancel first order”. If it was drop down I dont remember which I chose, maybe “ordered too many” or “made wrong order”

@Addictedtobeauty@IlovePondwas it Chester or Edinburgh? I recall reading it and thinking that’s good if you are in the area.

This is brilliant! I was sitting in bed this morning pondering how much room I'd have left in my car/ how many BAC's I could squeeze in and if it'd be worth staying an extra 11 days 😂If work would continue to cover my accomodation I'd do it! Sadly that's not going to happen and by the time I'm back (4th of December) I suspect the calendar will be long gone.

Sorry, me again. Does anyone know if I need to subscribe to look fantastic and do beauty advent in a separate transaction to get the discount? Doesn’t seem to be working otherwise! Thank you

Does this work for new thread?

www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5575020-beauty-advent-calendar-chat-and-spoilers-thread-7

Sorry if there are bits missing, or it’s not fab…it’s my first one!

Harrods BAC has arrived. I had a quick browse through CB this morning to check it was all there. Back to the dilemma of whether to merge the things I want into one or save and open both in Dec. 🤔

Probably a bit early too…I was a bit eager 🫪

Premature thread creation @SoloCat! Well done for doing it.

Early or not, I’m very grateful @SoloCat so thank you. I’m watching both.

I can’t remember who was compiling the list of Vinted sellers names from here. Could someone send it to me please? There are a few things I’d like to buy from various calendars if people are selling and I’d like to buy from people on here.

This one will fill up soon enough.

Had a little look through Harrods BAC. It looks much nicer in person so no buyer's remorse. I think I will save that one in tact until December. I enjoyed unboxing it last year.

Unsure whether to do the same with CB.

Thank you @SoloCat and to previous thread guardians!

The Elle advent calendar arrived this morning and I got the CB one during the week. Is it my responsibility to open all of it now (before December) to ensure everything is ok and the right products have been supplied? I don't want to do that :(. If I discovered the wrong product or wrong size or damage in December, could I complain then, or is it too late?

I would also be very grateful for a copy of the list too please!

It was Edinburgh. I was interested as it’s my local store but again like yourselves I could see no mention of it online.

@Peejay641 posted about the blue light discount.

Sorry, I read but never post, been on these threads the past 2 years. Would also love to receive the vinted list, please.

Thank you…I do hate being late, so am being true to self..arriving far too early 😁

@OvaHere miss boux has a lot to answer for. I too bought Boots BAC after watching 😂

I ordered the Gatineau calendar today because I use their skincare and know I'll use everything in it. It's £98, 12 days but worth over £300 with plenty of full size products.

I had lots of points to redeem so got it cheaper. My first ever BAC buy!

Think it may have been @TreesinthePark 😊

Where is this from please? My mum would love it but I can only see sign up to waitlist on the website!

I would also love a vinted sellers list please as I biy a lot from there, including from a seller who I reckon is probably on here 😊

@ItsPickleRick it's early access at the moment because I was signed up to the waiting list, not sure when it opens generally. But if you sign up you should get in.

Long time lurker here but have finally joined. I have gone for the LF fragrance calendar this year as I haven’t been wowed by anything else . Was going to treat myself to SNK but got the recent GWP buying stuff I wanted and was going to get instead.
I would really appreciate if I can be sent the vinted / EBay list for people on here who are selling unwanted products from their AVC thanks 🙏

Hi welcome @RuralVic .its dangerous (but so, so lovely) on here!

Have you received your LF FAC? I’m trying to gauge if they’re sending it or not!
