Thank you @SoloCat 😍

Thanks for the new thread Solocat, much appreciated! Current job seems to be settling down a bit so I'll volunteer for one very soon, am enjoying hearing about everyone's opinions and purchases in the meantime.

Not sure what that link is at the bottom, but hopefully all other links work. I may have forgot some, as I’ve not been following as much as I usually do.

You star. Thank you! My Liberty is out for delivery today 🎉

Ooh how exciting. I always get my adult daughter a Beauty calendar for Xmas. Do you think it’s worth waiting for the prices to drop as they usually do nearer the time do you think?

Thanks for new thread. We are whizzing through them now😄

thanks @solocat!

Thanks @SoloCat. I still haven’t ordered any calendars, I need to rectify this situation pronto!

Thank you @SoloCat I’m still hopefully waiting for my LF advent to get out of processing- I can’t remember if it was this slow last year. I really hope they don’t cancel! Mind you they have sent the tiny free perfume sample separately- I can’t believe they did that!!

Thanks for the new thread @SoloCat and to all previous keepers of the thread. Im grateful to everyone that starts one as I'm a complete technophobe and only just getting the hang of links. One day I might even progress to photos 🙈

Thank you @SoloCat ❤️

Thankyou

Thank you @SoloCat for the new thread 💐

Thank you @SoloCat. I have actually forgotten what I’ve ordered so have decided not to order anymore now until I am back home when the reality of what I’ve ordered should be waiting for me!

I think I’ve ordered, Harrods, Selfridges, ok, vogue, sculpted by Amy and maybe Glossybox &/or Elle. However, whilst on holiday I have completely lost track….. my DS keeps sending me photos of packages 😬.

I don’t think they are dispatching until 22nd September.
They also sent out my perfume sample and upgraded it to next day delivery 😂

Thanks for the new thread @SoloCat

Thank you so much for this.i was getting really worried because some PP had received theirs. Seems they may be the anomaly rather than me 🥳

I think it depends what calendar you want or whether your DD would be happy with a number of different ones as some BAC sell out quite quickly and then others discount nearer to December. I had a great discount on Lumene last year and I’m waiting for a discount on Boots or Rituals this year but that is for a second calendar for my January birthday so if I miss out I won’t mind. I usually pay full price for the one I really want if it’s likely to be popular!

Thanks for the thread @SoloCat.

Looking forwards to reading all the chat, although it’s harder to keep up with now the school holidays are over and I’m back at work more days!! 😂

@Fairyliz oh thank you! I hadn't spotted the release date and was definitely beginning to assume the worst. Love that they upgraded your sample delivery though 😂

Thanks for the new thread @SoloCat

Morning 👋 just moving into the new thread (and looking for potential validation for BAC no.3 🫣)

I think 3 is definitely the new 1! (Says the person who has totally lost count of how many she has ordered). What do you have already and what are you looking to buy?

I’ve got Liberty (the old faithful), Harrods (first timer), both of which give me all the skincare I want.

I always love make-up when it comes. Have previously been a sucker for fragrance but feeling overloaded with that unless it’s one of my faves - one of which is in the Fenwick BAC….😆

@HumBumBum Fenwicks is still not back after the ‘misprint’. They’re surely missing out on a lot of sales. Must have been a pretty serious error (like an allergy issue or something). Any of the early buyers know what it was?

I have Harrods and will order Liberty once I’m back off my holiday (I get that one every year). I’ve been tempted by the Fenwicks so I’m glad it’s currently on hold to give me time to actually reassess what I already have. However, I think the reality is I really want to sample the Thameen Cora and if I love that then I’m totally sold on the Fenwicks when it comes back into stock.
