I hope things continue to improve for your DH @Goldleafcat. Sounds like you have both been through an awful lot. You deserve to treat yourself. 💐

@ChannelLightVessel the back doesn’t have Vegan or Vegetarian or Animal products against anything. However, Google AI tells me the three PDRN products are salmon derived. The phyto mucin is not snail derived and the collagen product has a milk derived extract.

Nothing else stands out from the product titles as potentially non-veggie eg spf or body wash products

This is the Anua PDRN listing - even though Google says it is from salmon, it doesn’t show that explicitly in the list, so it’s a bit crap! Apparently “sodium DNA” is the giveaway.

I am also surprised that Harrods is still in stock. I thought it would be first to sell out.
Not sure what’s going on with Fenwick. Is it meant to be coming back? 🤔

Yes, I've just reminded myself how much work is involved in the resale of things! Reason has won out!

@AdventAdoration
Will be thinking of you in Dec. Definitely get somethings to look forward to once youve recovered. ♥️

SUNDAY20 gives 20% off the regular advent advent @nitche beauty

Oh, I thought Selfridges and Harrods seemed to be the most popular with people online this year.

I’m not completely surprised that it’s Selfridges though. Except for the Augustinus Bader, Selfridges contains all products that I’ve never tried before, whereas for Harrods, I’ve had almost a third of the contents in previous years. I reckon that makes a difference for people who have been buying calendars for a few years.

I liked a lot of the Selfridges a/c and thought it was a good all-rounder.

I’m wondering if the HBAC will still be around during the HCarnival. If so and IF there’s 10% off I might crack!

I think someone was asking about Cult Beauty discounts. I noticed 5% off advent calendars on Top Cashback.

I got Harrods reduced from £250 to £175 in November one year, and the contents weren’t hugely dissimilar.

It’s so random from year to year though. I wouldn’t recommend waiting for anyone who really wants it!

Harrods had/ has a spend £200 get 10% back (up to £50) reward on Amex. I know offers vary cardholder to cardholder though. I had it and forgot to use it for my FACs but worth checking if you’re thinking about purchasing the BAC and have an Amex.

I agree @MidnightMeltdown - I would only consider buying it with a reduction so don’t mind at all if it sells out.

I think it was still around during a Rewards weekend last year, but can’t remember.

I reckon that disappointed Selfridges customers might go for Sephora, as it’s similarly makeup/fragrance heavy, and a bit cheaper than some of the others. Maybe that will be the next one to sell out. It’s hard to tell without knowing how many the different brands produce though.

I think Sephora Favourites is very good - I wasn’t interested last year, but it’s tempting.

There is so much choice now and lots of these a/cs are so very expensive. I wonder if eventually the bubble will burst and we will start to see some serious reductions.

I’m looking at the Top Cashback 5% on the Cult Beauty advent, not sure whether to hold my nerve for a better offer or jump on this.

Any idea if Selfridges will restock or is that it?

@GingerBeverage - I have a vague memory of Selfridges saying that this was their ‘last’ restock.

A few might pop back into stock due to returns.

Yes I got an app notification from Selfridges to say that it was their last restock, but you never know! Don’t know whether it would still be available in store.

I forgot I have this on my card, it shows instore purchases only. Maybe I will find time for a trip to Harrods this week as expires on the 4th.

I think it depends on how much you want it and whether you will be upset if it sells out.

Since they’ve got 2 variants, one will inevitably sell out before the other, so it also depends on how fussed you are about which one you get.

Was someone after Amika? I’m probably going to be selling this on the FB group

Prices are creeping up each year, so I think there may come a point when people decide that it’s not worth it anymore. Especially once they get over the £300 mark. A number of them are getting close to that. I remember just a few years ago space NK used to be £165. I think the new £275 price point will put a lot of people off. Even at £250 it would be a lot more tempting.

Yes I swerved selfridges as 90% of it I had tried before. I want to see new and undiscovered stuff.

I saw an tiktok that SFAC has adjusted price back forth,,, and it seems 350 GBP is the price. Its higher due to resllers... in ebay too expensive for me :(
