That’s pretty rubbish, it’s still giving me free postage from Β£25 spend at the moment but I shall keep an eye out for that thanks. They can get in the bin if they start that .

It used to be €40 for free delivery and free click and collect over €25. That was fine but I rarely need €100 worth of stuff.

RipplePlease6 · 25/09/2026 10:50

Woohoo! My LF FAC has finally been dispatched, arriving 28-29/9.

HolidayHattie · 25/09/2026 10:54

Peachbubble · 25/09/2026 07:28

I've ordered this one as it's amazing value and there are a few things I've wanted to try, along with ones I've had before and like. I saw it on Beauty Detective last night and thought it said StyleKorean on the box, so was intrigued.

Looks to be selling fast this morning, so I wouldn't hang around if you're tempted!

Oh now I really want this, but I'm going away for a few days. It's really annoying that you can get free next day delivery but named day still costs Β£5.75.

I would prefer to wait until I get back but it might have sold out by then. Although I wasn't going to get any more BACs after impulse-buying CB with the discount, so maybe I should leave it and if it's still available next week then that's fate and meant to be?

SheilaFentiman · 25/09/2026 10:58

@HolidayHattie can you do click and collect? How long will they keep it, does anyone know?

RuralVic · 25/09/2026 10:59

Thanks to whoever posted the Boots x Style Korean advent calendar. It’s gone straight in my basket and is coming tomorrow.
In other news my LFFAC is being delivered today. Hopefully it’s all there.

You can use click and collect. Boots will keep it for 7 days after your chosen collection day it says in their FAQs.

It was such a bargain, I had to buy it, even though I'd said no more too!

SheilaFentiman · 25/09/2026 11:20

My boots skin is here, someone wanted to know about veggie products but I can’t remember who. @ClutteredPalace maybe?

HolidayHattie · 25/09/2026 11:28

@Peachbubble @SheilaFentiman
Thank you for enabling me! I have to go in to town on Thursday anyway, so I've ordered it to collect then. I just hope it's not too heavy to carry back to the car. (I'm quite weak and feeble at the mo due to health issues.)

You're welcome! Maybe someone will help you carry it to your car, but I hope you feel better soon x

Insuffishcakes · 25/09/2026 11:49

Impulse bought the Boots skin one because it was a bargain, and also contained lots of K-beauty, so was a bit annoyed to see there was a Boots K beauty one which I could have got instead, then noticed the 92% snail mucin product, which just gives me the creeps. Shouldn't really have bought the other one, anyway, I've nowhere to put it. Must use more of the stash quickly.

Does anyone know which door of the Liberty calendar has the Grown Alchemist in? I can't stand the smell of the stuff, so I want to swap it with something I'll enjoy

No, it wasn't me. My Boots skincare has also arrived though and I'm very pleased for the price. Absolute bargain! 😊

The Latest in beauty grooming box is down to Β£69 with code AKITSTEAL. I’ve just purchased for my 24yo ds. I’ll replace the pricey face cream with another aftershave.

Same here - looks a great option for my 25 yr old

MrsBnow12 · 25/09/2026 12:55

Has anyone seen anything from Jarrolds? Am sure they said they would releasing their details today.

Donsyb · 25/09/2026 13:17

Just bought the LIB grooming calendar for my other half - will obviously swap out the Β£300 cream and keep that πŸ˜‚will also have to swap out the haircare bits as he's "follicly challenged" - but those can be stocking fillers for other people!

ClutteredPalace · 25/09/2026 13:46

Addictedtobeauty · 25/09/2026 12:59

That's quite a lot of Charlotte Tilbury. I don't think this one is for me although I'm going there in a couple of weeks so maybe it will look better in person.

MrsBnow12 · 25/09/2026 13:48

Addictedtobeauty · 25/09/2026 12:59

Thanks for sharing, pass for me as have a number of the items already.
That is me done and dusted for advents until the sales and reductions start.

i think I'm going to cancel my Look fantastic AC - still processing and did I see upthread that they may not all get out until end October ??

They told me they are going to start sending out from 2nd October and hope to have them all delivered by 1st December. That suggests to me that some won’t be sent until November!

LagoLady · 25/09/2026 14:28

Does anyone have any predictions on when possible reductions might start happening?
Especially Harrods and Space NK

Yes same, I bought the Boots skin one as soon as it came out as I enjoyed it last year and had enough points but on balance, I'd rather have had the Style Korean one. But it's too similar to justify having both - I'll have too many K Beauty skincare things!

Caggie09 · 25/09/2026 14:30

My LF BAC has dispatched. Even though i already have Boots Skincare, i do like the look of the K-beauty one too. I might hold of now though, and see if it get reduced.

ChannelLightVessel · 25/09/2026 14:53

It was me who asked about the vegetarian/vegan products @SheilaFentiman
