💄 More Calendars & Spoilers
Rather than making the opening post a mile long, here's a brilliant roundup of lots more advent calendars and the latest spoilers, including Charlotte Tilbury, Elemis, Lancôme, Tatcha, NEOM, Neal's Yard Remedies, and many more as they're announced:

Just checked mine and it has a cellophane wrap.

@IlovePond did you use an influencer code on your SK haul? I have a basket waiting but haven't pressed pay yet...

My memo is sealed / wrapped too

@viccabelle mine is also wrapped in cellophane

Ok, it's not beauty but it is an advent calendar... I've just ordered this for me and my husband to share 🥰

https://www.marksandspencer.com/the-mands-foodhall-advent-calendar

I had no intention of buying @DidILeaveTheGasOnbut the urge got me… I shouldn’t even have checked as I know what I’m like!

Harrods never stated that it would come back online. Just to check the website. And the website update stated In store per blablabla. They never restock it. Restocking online was just misinformation spread by influencers.

How do you find Glossybox on TikTok shop, please? I'm on a PC and can't find how to search the TikTok shop website

I only use a phone and is an icon at the bottom saying shop, sorry not hugely helpful but I don’t use a pc for social media

Ah, I thought they'd said there would be some but I'm probably getting my rumours mixed up with them being a bit vague.

@keepincool Code: CLARE10 takes some money off at SK - the code stacks with the other discounts x

Same!

I go to Glossybox UK, click on the basket but they dont have any products. So weird

@ClutteredPalace I think there was just a bunch of wishful thinking going on :)

@keepincool - also, if you haven’t already - write reviews of products you have bought from SK previously, as this gives you points which convert to money off - every little helps!

Still live on TikTok

DSis has got her replacement products from Liberty together with the crossed out £5 stickers. I had warned her about this but I don’t think she thought I was being serious until she opened the parcel just now!

She is not amused 😿

I'll do that - thank you!

Door number 5 thank you. It looks like most are sealed 😭

That makes me feel a bit better. Looks like the QC is off. Shock 🥴

This is quite disappointing, I was waiting for this one, I totally missed out when it became available. I don't understand why it won't be available online. Did they give any explanation at all?

It cant have been available online for very long. I was quite quick and it sold out while i was checking out. No, no explanation other than it will be available in store. I will keep checking the website though.

I got my sephora dispatch email yesterday.

I am being honest here. I would NEVER sell anything on Ebay after my experiences.

1. I sold a fragrance brand new and sealed. The buyer removed the cellophane and used half of it, and then accused me of sending her a half used fragrance. Ebayer sided with the buyer and I had to accept a return.

2. I sold a lipstick which was sealed. Buyer said she didnt like the shade and asked to return. I refused on the basis it had been used. Ebay sided with buyer and allowed a return at my expense.

Never again will i sell on ebay. I would rather give them to charity.

Uh oh. Late night shopping and I got the space nk calendar in store. Didn't get the selfridges AC but could have done. Thry were doing a beauty haul box for 120 which looked better.

I feel anxious every time I sell something that is a bit higher value. I wouldnt dream of scamming someone like that.

oo what is this haul box?
