💄 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:
👉 ^https://beauty-detective.com/category/beauty-advent-calendars^/ 👈

Does anyone have the list of our Vinted usernames? I tried to pm @TreesinthePark but it came back as an invalid username

I'm having a Vinted woe. Sold a perfume a while back. Evri never delivered it (no good reason why) then decided just to return to me. I just checked the tracking and it says at your chosen collection point. Except I don't have one - the return address is my home. So where is it? Have had no comms from Evri. I only discovered this after thinking it should have arrived back and going to check the Evri tracking site. Their chat bot is useless and the tracking tells me I only have until tomorrow to collect it from I don't know where. Real person CS doesn't open until Monday. 🙄

@OvaHere can you let Vinted know as they may be able to suspend the return? I'm not too sure how returns work -mine also have simply appeared out of thin air on my doorstep, with no tracking, but I think CS at Vinted, when you do manage to get a person, can be good at suspending things so the refund doesn't happen before you get your goods back. Good luck and hope it works for you.

Thank you @traybro I have a feeling I will miss out on this one too, it's one of the cheaper ones.

I'm going to check the parcel shop I sent it from in the morning if it's not there I will contact Vinted. I assume if it's going to be anywhere it would be that one but the return to sender address is definitely mine when you click through and previous returns have always come back to my house too. So much hassle and I feel bad for the buyer too - they never even tried to deliver it.

@OvaHere I hope you manage to track it down. So frustrating when things go awry as there's little way to actually contact anyone with the couriers. I'm having my own little drama with a parcel via inpost where it was checked into the local depot and has then remained there for the last 5 days. When I phoned them, they denied it was there until I made them check the tracking! So now they say it's lost...but I can't do anything on Vinted until mid October. Poor seller has no money and I have no cardigan. Just as well most things go ok or I'd give up!!
Hoping you get better luck tomorrow x

@OvaHere I hope you manage to get your return sorted or better still a payment.

@viccabelle My Memo is sealed too. It seems like a couple have been tampered with during packing - or your buyer is a complete scammer.

It’s so worrying how many issues there have been with the calendars this year.

I’m still waiting to hear back from Harrods regarding my damaged Nars eyeshadow stick

@JoRaRaRa Ooh I’m liking the look of the M&S food calendar! I was going to treat us to the F&M tea and biscuits one but think I might go for this one instead

How did you get the coupon?

It's new in and very good! Better than the advent calendar. Has a selection of makeup/ skincare/ fragrance. £120. Will try post a link

So new its not even online yet. Sales assistant said it had only just come in.

Sadly the M&S food calendar has lots of nut products- that’s a no-go here at PondTowers due to allergies 😿

There’s a YT video:

m.youtube.com/watch?v=gz_E5rlYDws

What's in it? I'm assuming something good if you bought it. 😄

I'm definitely (genuinely definitely!) only buying one calendar for myself this year, so I think it's due to be on sale around five minutes after I crack and order the Liberty BAC

@DidILeaveTheGasOn I've just sent you the Vinted ebay list that trees sent out last time -sorry if you've already had loads of messages with this already!

Too many to list them all but 2 decent perfumes, 2787 per se (laundry scent) plus phlur vanilla skin. Hourglass diffused light powder, huda blush, elemis pro collagen marine cream, face masks, a laura mercier eye caviar, CT lip bath, plus loads more..ive never seen such a good beauty box from selfridges and it's better value than the BAC which had loads of stuff id already seen before.

Get thee to a selfridges! ( or it will come online next few days probs)

Me too. I was looking forward to it on Monday. I remember reading it on the JL app.
Shoddy stock control.

Yes, my husband is excited for the nut treats. I don't like the texture of nuts but I'm not allergic. I'll probably drink the champagne. Husband will have a small glass but that's it. I'm hoping Aldi copy it next year 🤣

Does anyone else find the Laura Mercier eye caviar sticks fall out of the “pencil” easily? Or did I get a duff set?

Sounds great. Not sure I should be buying beauty boxes right now but will be watching out for it.

The 2787 laundry scent is great if you like that kind of thing. Just had a spritz.

That happened to one that I had - thought it was just me!

The worst is the bobbi brown ones
..and they are not cheap.

I prefer the lisa eldridge brush on style luquid eyeshadows now.

The £100 M&S food advent only contains £105 of products (AI actually estimated it as less than that and said I’d be paying an extra premium for the daily advent experience).

So why do I still want it?
Maybe it’s worth the premium not to have to find somewhere to store more beauty products 🤣

Oh this is interesting. Maybe I’ll forgo the advent and just get a selection of my most desired treats
