Thank you @26inprogress 😊

I still haven't chosen a calendar!! I feel very indecisive.

Off to investigate m andns thoroughly...

gianfrancogorgonzola · 23/09/2026 06:01

Hello! Does anyone know if Elle is likely to get a price drop? i already bought CB (with all the codes / vouchers ended up paying Β£145) but really want Elle too. I need it to drop Β£30-40 though, is that likely? - does it usually sell out before any discounts?

PunnyCyanBear · 23/09/2026 06:38

John Lewis Fragrance has dropped!! Luckily I checked at 6 in the morning.

Think it does drop every year but usually it is cheaper and smaller from what I remember. Not sure if this big one will do a price drop and they will wait until they run now. But historially Elle does have. a price drop

Boots skin is down to Β£56 today annoying as I purchased last week but great value

IlovePond · 23/09/2026 08:17

Thanks gof the new thread @26inprogress

That’s a good reduction on the Boots Skin @Passmeaplacard

That happened me last year. Still very good value even at the previous price and it could have sold out so better to get it when you want it. I'm seriously tempted now too. But I think if I'm getting BT I need to resist. I just have too much of a stash. But I do like all the K-Beauty stuff in it. Hmmm.

BeanNaGealai · 23/09/2026 08:52

Just checked my boots points. I have €65.74 in points and it's reduced to €68. I'm sure I need something that will get me the extra points.

IDontKnowWhatYouMean · 23/09/2026 09:05

Thanks for the Boots skincare BAC info.

I have already bought H&B as my cheaper BAC, but think I will return it and get the Boots instead. I have an extra Β£5 in points rewards too, so it’s only just over Β£50.

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 23/09/2026 09:19

Is there a code for the Boots skincare BAC to reduce the price? It shows as Β£70 for me.

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 23/09/2026 09:20

Oh I see, just had to add to basket!

Mejera · 23/09/2026 09:23

I've bought the Boots skincare one too πŸ˜…

Although I did have my eye on it for a while, it's a really good cheaper one for me - and also had a Β£5 points offer.

Goldleafcat · 23/09/2026 09:24

Thanks for the new thread. πŸ™‚

You’ve now got me re- looking at the JL fragrance advent which I had ruled out, but now pondering if it could serve as a lovely Christmas present! I’ve not got any of the discounts in the JL app though, just discounts on travel money and children’s stuff 🀣
