Thank you @SoloCat πŸ™ Still reeling from the SNK reveal 🀣

Caggie09 · Today 18:26

Thanks for new thread❀️ Think we are in shock from that awful SNK reveal🀣

XelaM · Today 18:27

Ok I caved and ordered the Glossybox calendar with the subscription for Β£75. I think it would make a lovely BAC gift πŸ’ for my mum (who normally swears by Aldi skincare πŸ˜‚) and I can't afford the higher price brackets of the likes of YSL. Maybe I should try getting my hands on an Aldi Lacura calendar for her too just in case πŸ₯Ά

Now I'm just hoping I get a birthday discount code from ASOS and that it actually works on their BAC for my teen daughter. Otherwise I'm also looking at You Beauty and wavering between the two.

Beautyfox · Today 18:27

Thanks @solocat. Maybe this one will take us through the Harrods home fragrance advent ;I’m interested in this, Selfridges FAC (I think I will have FOMO so will buy if I can despite having enough perfume to last years), SBK luxe (this I will def pass).

what I’m hoping for is a CB and SNK (normal) discount 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻.

I would also quite like Sephora to dispatch my BAC which was ordered on 8th. πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

mooshkymoo · Today 18:28

Thanks @SoloCat 😊

mooshkymoo · Today 18:36

I wish SNK had simply brought out a circa Β£245 and then maybe a glitzy Β£285-300 max. First one maybe with cheeky guilty pleasures, good old faves and best sellers - a lovely intro for first timers, or a comfy fave / guaranteed pleaser for Christmas gifting and Jadvent. Then a second, more spenny one, for people wanting a little more. Maybe with higher end or new products and / or additional fragrances.

I think I’d have been able to get my head around something like that, and imagine it might have pleased more people (or maybe this is impossible). They could even have used the same box - it’s pretty.

Thanks for the new thread.

Is it slow to load for anyone else? The last thread had been for a while, I was hoping it was just the volume of posts/links/photos but this one seems to be the same. Other threads are loading quicker.

Quite possible it's just a me/my phone problem though.

CorneliaStreet · Today 18:54

Thanks for the new thread @SoloCat.

Still on two calendars. Selfridges BAC has been stashed somewhere by DP for December. The Boots Skincare has also been stashed but I’m going to open that in October when my mum is visiting so Mum, DD and I can unbox it together and divvy out the contents between us.

Which leaves room for at least one more calendar, right? Looking forward to seeing what discounts start to appear.

I was going to post the exact same @namechange0998776554799000. For the previous thread anyway

Thank you for the new thread @SoloCat

Now I've got over the SNK Luxe my focus is on the Harrods Home. Wish we had details about that one.

HardyJadeTurtle · Today 19:17

Thank you @SoloCat

XelaM · Today 19:20

I'm hoping my Glossybox BAC gets dispatched quickly as I'm going to be in Germany next week visiting my parents so hoping to take it with me for my mum.

I'm also excited about receiving my Perfume Shop calendar 😊 It will be my first FAC! I am hoping to share it with my teen.

Mine was delivered really quickly - within two days I think.

No it's not at all slow to load. Try clearing your cache or shutting down your phone and restarting...

The box of SpaceNK lux looks like what they used for fragrance advents before. I think the fragheads as me are out of luck with this one

Thanks @SoloCat

🫢🏼 @SoloCat that was speedy work πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

I was so excited for the reveal of Lux SPNK I had no intention of buying it but I really wanted to enjoy the excitement and FOMO . And just like that β€œpoof” πŸ™„

so back to the drawing board 🀣

Selfridges and Harrods let’s go !

have we all just given up on HN ? It’s such a shame I liked the FBAC last year .
